Monday, June 16, 2008 Sweet Salty Spicy  Minimalistic decor at Sweet Salty Spicy There’s a serious void in the number of decent Thai restaurants and eateries on our island. Even as a big fan of French and Italian cuisine, I greatly appreciate Asian food- Chinese, Vietnamese and Thai. Since J and I was heading to Bukit Timah to get our ingredients for dinner, we spontaneously decided to stop by Sweet Salty Spicy, a relatively new casual Thai eatery at The Rail Mall. This concept is thought up by Chef Christopher Millar, the chef behind Poppi at Fort Canning. At Sweet Salty Spicy, you can get your hands on the freshest local produce, eat modern Thai fare and indulge in Australian-influenced desserts. Chef Millar managed to rope in partners- Victor Chia who has a vegetable stall at Tekka market, and Peter Bowyer, an Australian chef specializing in Thai food. The restaurant is welcoming with modern and minimalist décor with a glass display right at the shop front with the prettiest and most-tempting desserts. The back of the restaurant is a deli that sells local produce as well as Thai condiments. We ordered a few items to share and I must say that the food here is stellar contemporary Thai cuisine. The pad Thai noodles was easily the best I had. The stir-fried rice noodles was springy and fragrantly fried. The shrimps were very fresh and the dried shrimps were fried till they were fragrant. This pad thai was however on the sweeter spectrum- if only it could up the spice!  Pad Thai The next item we had was a interesting interpretation of the Thai cuisine- Deep fried silken tofu stuffed with fresh crab meat mixed with coriander and minced pork. This was served with sweet Thai chili sauce. Such perfection, seriously. You have to order this if you ever eat there.  Deep-fried beancurd stuffed with crab meat, coriander and minced pork The last item we had was the skewered chicken which was really expensive. To give it credit, it was good but $3.50 for 3 bites! That’s really too much to pay isn’t it.  Chicken Skewers We skipped the dessert part having already indulged in the Chocolate cake we baked and headed off feeling satisfied with our meal. The sun was blazing down our backs as we walked to the car but I knew that lunch was just the start of a good Sunday.
