Green curry set @ <\/a>Scotts Shopping Centre<\/a> Foodcourt<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"dining-122.jpg\"Green curry is a staple for many Thai restaurants here in Singapore, and among all of such places we\u2019ve sampled here so far, Jai Thai cafe\u2019s green curry has still been the standard for other places to beat.<\/p>\n

That said, one really doesn\u2019t find green curry sold often at foodcourts here in Singapore. Hence, I was pleasantly surprised to find one corner stall at the basement foodcourt of Scotts Shopping Centre<\/a> selling such fare.For $6, you get quite a complete meal: a small-sized drink, tom yam soup, green curry, a baby kailan side, and rice.<\/p>\n

In terms of variety, this set takes the cake, even if the ingredient portions themselves weren\u2019t too generous. Ling felt that the tom yam soup was more sour than hot, and the green curry while pleasant with liberal use of lemon grass and basil, didn\u2019t quite reach the same magnificent richness as Jai Thai\u2019s offering. The chicken pieces tasted excellently fresh.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s rare to find a complete set meal – with drinks included – for $6 at foodcourts, much less a green curry set. I don\u2019t think this is a must try, since for a bit more you can get better green curry at least elsewhere. However, this really is a great way to sample three Thai dishes at very low cost.<\/p>\n
