Hi everybody!! May&FJ have decided to drop by Aloy Thai to try out their stuffs after class today! We spent some time trying to locate it as it was tuck in a secluded corner at the first floor. Once we stepped in, it was lunch hour for the office crowd, but we had managed to snag a place within a couple of minutes anyway! 

Here's a picture of the menu!




We ordered Tom Yum Seafood Soup ($7.50), Phad Thai ($7.00) and Sweet and Sour Toufu ($8) and our total bill amounted to $22.50.

The Tom Yum Seafood Soup consists of:

  • 3 Prawns
  • Squid aka Sotong
  • Light amounts of vegetables
  • Light amounts of mushrooms



The Phad Thai consists of:


  • Eggs,
  • Prawns
  • Light amounts of vegetables
  • Chopped Peanuts and a Lime



Lastly, the Sweet and Sour Toufu consists of:


  • Prawns (loads of it)
  • 6 chunks of Toufu 
  • Pineapple slices
  • A couple of lychees
  • Cucumber
  • Tomato
  • Bell peppers




Personally, both May and I really enjoyed the Sweet and Sour Toufu and we recommend that you should try it too! The seafood soup is also worth giving a go as the soup is filled with Tom Yum richness. Don't get me started on the Phad Thai; just go eat it! Bring a whole lot of people and just eat them all. Truthfully, though it was only 3 dishes, both of us were really stuffed! What we've ordered could have fed at least 4 people! (That's why I'm gonna go exercise after this ^^)




Advantages:

  • The sotong in the soup is very Q
  • The soup itself is very appetizing.
  • There was a generous portion of seafood in the soup!
  • The Phad Thai tastes so good! (authentic)
  • Lychee and pineapple with sweet and sour sauce is such a good combination!
  • The cucumber in the toufu dish is crunchy! (FRESH!)
  • The prawns in all dishes have been peeled for you with an exception of the head and tail (so much easier to manage! how sweet of them!)
  • Also, the prawns are reasonably fresh! (not like some places where it tastes like mush)
  • Food was served quickly.
  • The dishes are generally in HUGE portions (2 stuffed stomachs are our evidence!)
  • The staff there is very friendly! They passed us extra tissues when the realized that one was not enough and they even asked if the food is to our liking or not. (Friendly!)
  • NO gst and service charge! (NONE)



Disadvantages:


  • The prawns vary in terms on whether their insides were cleaned out of not (personally, prawns with their insides not cleaned out is just~ewww)
  • we had to asked for serving bowls for the soup (small thing, really)



Note:


  • You gotta order with the paper they pass you and proceed to the counter to pay first (that's considered an order made)

You darlings should go try it out! The food is awesome and if you split the bill to 4 with what we've ordered, its about $5++ per person! Ain't it worth it? Go go go!!!
