. The Tasting Palette .

For a quiet, peaceful sunday lunch, I decided to bring Grace to Sawadee for thai food with my family. This little restaurant is well hidden away from the city and I only got to know about this place through my dad. It's situated at Sembawang Gardens Arcade.

What I love about this place is that it serves up simple, authentic thai fare at a very affordable price. Much better than the pretentious thai food outlets you find in town.

The thai mango salad is a good appetizer to wheat your appetite. Thai mango salad uses green mangoes instead of the ones we normally eat. I love the way it is combined with roughly chopped peanuts. It has well-balanced flavours- spicy from the red chillies, sour from the lime juice and mangoes, and sweet from the sugar added.

My favourite dish has to be the olive rice. It is served with shallots, chicken strips, dried shrimps, lime and chilli. I don't know how to cook such a fragrant rice dish but this one is a sure winner. I have to order this one every time I come here.

The other must-try dish is the stuffed chicken wings. The stuffed chicken wings has mushrooms and chicken in it and it is served with sweet thai chilli sauce. It's a delight to eat it cause it's warm, crispy with tender filling.

We shared the mango glutinous rice(without coconut milk) for dessert. Grace and I aren't fans of coconut milk and we think that the original taste is better. The mango was sweet enough and went hand in hand with the mild, glutinous rice that was topped with the sesame seeds.

A taste of Thailand. It's perfect since I much prefer to relax in a place that isn't overly crowded, or pretentious for the matter. Especially when I'm looking for a quiet, Sunday afternoon.
