The many miscellaneous rambling and musing of a Shanghai Expat woman.

Facade of the restaurant
Native Thai cuisine prevails at this restaurant. For those who love Thai food, there’s a new Thai restuarant along Kang Ding road, just few minutes walk from west Yen-Ping road.

The Interior.

Nicely printed menu in English with photos.
Chiang Mai Thai cuisine mainly offers native Thailand food. The selection of seafood dishes is fantastic. It has a quiet and warm environment and the lighting was comfortable.
We got there pretty early, at about 11 noon and we were the first customers. We ordered fried rice with shrimp paste and tom yam soup. For me, tom yam soup is a absolute must when trying thai food. To top it off, we ordered fried prawn cakes as appetiziers. It was a pity they did not have appetiziers combination, which is available at Thai House . But the prawn cakes were not available and we ordered fish cakes instead.
The service was actuallly quite good which is rare in Shanghai. They were very accomodating and polite. The food was good although we would have preferred it to be more spicy. While waiting for the final dish (fried fish cakes), we were served Satay instead. We though it was a mistake. The Thai Chef explained that the fish cakes were not up to his usual standards and could not be served. The Satay was on the house.
All in all, the experience was pleasant and we would be back for more thai cuisine.

A Thai eatery house tucked away down a lane inside an old china apartment in Shanghai. You have to walk through some smelly alleys to find this place, but it’s well worth the trek! Authentic home style dishes served simply without much decoration. This 3-rooms apartment creates a homey ambiance with very minimal Thai decorations and some authentic servers who speak very simple English. They also have a notice board where you can pin up your photos.

A global outlet of a fantastic restaurant chain located at XinTianDi, Shanghai. Famous with their double boil chicken soup and xiao lung bao~ (little basket buns, with minced pork fillings encased in a bread dough and steamed in a bamboo basket). You’ve got to call and make a booking because if you are not… expect to wait for at least an hour! Since it’s a last minute decision, we got Leo (A Malaysian friend who used to live in UK) to call the manager of XinTianDi to make a reservation for us! (WOW~~) Guess what… we got a big table in a big room! But that’s other people’s table at 7pm, (we steal it) so we got just an hour to have our dinner there. Lively atmosphere, bright, clean and spacious.
