\"\"Kra Pow<\/strong>, a popular Thai restaurant<\/strong> at Far East Plaza<\/strong>, was a hole in the wall but it was so popular so quickly that it moved a few doors away from its original spot to a much bigger space. With the bigger space, they updated the decor and it was bright, contemporary, classy, and comfortable.<\/p>\n

\"\"In addition, they have also increased their dishes. Initially, they only serve one-meal noodles or rice bowls like fried rice or beef soup noodles. But now they add sharing, communal dishes such as whole seabass, <\/strong>which they can steam<\/strong>, or deep fry, <\/strong>or topped with Thai sauce<\/strong> at $39.90. They also have crying tiger <\/strong>($15.80), grilled beef knuckle so spicy it makes a tiger cry. I’ve tried this dish at Siam Society<\/a> and I dare not order it again.<\/p>\n

When we were there, we noticed that chefs were speaking Thai in the kitchen. And the food was fantastic. Great for this price.<\/p>\n

\"\"For carbs, the Thai beef fried rice <\/strong>($7.90) is nice. A good smoky wok hei with a generous serving of tender and chewy beef. While Mr Fitness prefers the fried rice, I like the pad see ew beef<\/strong> ($8.90+ $1 for sunny side-up) which is really just stir-fried beef hor fun (broad rice noodles). It’s oily enough so that the noodles don’t stick together but it isn’t greasy so you can eat a lot of it. It has just a touch of soy sauce, which undercuts the oil.<\/p>\n

\"\"Chiobu thinks the spice level of the\u00a0red tom yum seafood\u00a0<\/strong>($7.90) is just ok but I find\u00a0very spicy. Although spicy (to me), it is also quite complex: a sweetness first which mellows down to a salty spiciness. Quite good.<\/p>\n

\"\"We expected the\u00a0Thai prawn omelette<\/strong>\u00a0($12.90) to be the deep-fried Thai style but it isn’t; it is just a normal omelette. While the price point is rather weird (because it is more expensive than meat dishes), it’s quite tasty. If you don’t mind the price, it’s delicious.<\/p>\n

\"\"Thais do great pork dishes. The\u00a0deep-fried pork belly\u00a0<\/strong>($10.90) is wonderful, tender and crispy without being oily. Although Mr Fitness said that the\u00a0braised pork leg\u00a0<\/strong>($16.90) is just so-so, I like the it because it tasted light and not gamy. The price is also good.<\/p>\n

\"\"A must-order here is the\u00a0red and green ruby<\/strong> ($5.90, two persons can share). It’s really very simple: just rubies with coconut ice. But the ice here is like those Korean bingsu ice<\/a>, so fine and powdery like snow. It is expensive but I highly recommend it and I think it is worth the price.<\/p>\n

\"\"Including a\u00a0iced Thai milk tea\u00a0<\/strong>($3.90), a\u00a0lemongrass<\/strong> ($3.90), and a takeaway packet of\u00a0Thai beef fried rice\u00a0<\/strong>($7.90 + $1 extra rice + $3 extra beef) for my dad who finished the enormous portion, we\u00a0paid $98<\/strong> for three persons + 1 takeaway packet. Of course, we over-ordered and overate so a more reasonable estimate would be about $20 per pax.<\/p>\n

On the whole, this restaurant is wonderful. We love everything here from the delicious food to the decor. Definitely will be back for more. Highly recommended.<\/p>\n
