Lunch at Sala Thai today, I had my lime mint juice as the weather is too warm so need this refreshing juice to cool a bit.

For Thai food tbh not very authentic might be the reason of seasoning limitation. Thai cuisine is traditionally famous for its exotic taste of spices, combined with sweet and sour. Here are my two warm review :

For pad Thai (fried noodles with veggies, tofu, shrimps depends on your choice) flavors of this dish should be centered around a sweet-savory fusion. However sala thai is making too SOUR. It’s not that much “pad Thai” in my opinion.

For som tam (green papaya salad) the papaya is not “green” ( too mature ) so the texture I not that crunchy, and spicy is not salient.

Overall Thai food is really really tasty and Sala Thai has quick service which I appreciate a lot.

Looking forward to...
