A Satisfying Lunch at Best of Thai Food Restaurant - 泰之選泰國菜館 - Kowloon City

Best of Thai Food Restaurant 泰之選泰國菜館
This is a place we randomly tried in Kowloon city. We didn't check openrice first to see if it's famous, and we didn't check which dishes to order. We thought, what the heck, we're hungry, they serve food. and there's no queue. We're good.

Working around Central, I hardly find any set lunch priced below HK$50 anymore...so I was very happy to see this HK$35 set lunch, serves with a drink! Oh yes!

I love the spicy minced meat cooked with Thai sweet basil...and the takeaway Thai food joint we always order lunch from do quite a good version of it, and it comes with rice. I could imagine the spicy goodness stir fried with flat rice noodles...but what made me so ecstatic was...this place serves it...
...wait for it...

fried with instant noodles!
My absolute favorite! Tasty tasty tasty!

Another favorite of mine, stir fried rice noodles, Thai style, fried "wet", which means, with gravy.

Soft, slightly chewy, rice noodles with lots of yummy goodies swimming in tasty, garlicky gravy. Yum!

I didn't expect the dishes to have vegetables in them, so, in a desperate attempt to be "healthy", we ordered a mixed vegetables with shrimp paste stir fry dish.

The drinks...refreshing iced longan.

Thai "cendol"...I love the cendol, it's thinner and slightly more chewy than Indonesian ones.

    I want those noodles! They remind me of a maggi goreng mamak! But Thai, of course.
