MEDZS @ Millenia Walk

I got to know MEDZS due to an blogger event I attended back in November 2012. The concept is similar to Marche but offers mediterranean cuisine. Food presentation on the other hand is more appertising compared to Marche. Iit felt like you are being served in a proper sit down dinning restaurant. The restaurant also has an eclectic global selections of beer and cider.

Cured Salmon Bruschetta 4/5

You have to agreed with me the presentation of the Cured Salmon Bruschetta ($16.90) was pretty isn't it? The presentation itself is alreadying stimulating to the appetite. The cured salmon resting on top of the crusty bread is beautifully paired with pesto.

Spanish Omelette "Tortilla" with Aioli Dip 4.2/5

Not to be confused by the Mexican flatbread tortilla, the Spanish Omelette or Spanish Tortilla is a Spanish dish commonly made with egg, potatoes and onion. The thick and fluffy egg omelette paired with the zesty aioli dip was a hearty appertiser.

Moroccan Beef and Caramelized Apple Stew Tajine with Couscous 4/5

This is my first time to come across the Tajine, a special earthenware pot. The dish was even served in it. The Moroccan Beef was fork tender with a nice fruity sweetness to it. Served with rice, it will be a filling dish for the hungry stomach.

Charcoal Grilled Baby Sea Bream 4/5

The Charcoal Grilled Baby Sea Bream is served with aubergine gratin, mashed potato and watercress salad. Cooked perfectly with a hint of smokiness, the sea bream was moist and delectable.

Braised Cook Chicken Paella 4/5

The Braised Cook Chicken Paella with chorizo and saffron is nicely flavoured by the spices. The rice has a good texture that was not mushy.

Kakavia Fish Stew 4.2/5

Came with grilled fish, mussels and mash potatoes in a creamy sauce, the Kakavia Fish Stew ($20.90) is my personal favourite at MEDZ currently. I have been back to MEDZ twice and I never failed to order this dish.

The restaurant is an ideal place for group gathering due to the spacious venue. Food is pretty decent too. I even returned with my friends to have our Christmas gathering here.

Soi Thai Kitchen @ Tampines

With the success story of Nakhon Kitchen, I am not surprise to see another Thai restaurant opening its door for business at neighbourhood area. Soi Thai Kitchen is established about six months ago at block 824 Tampines Street 81. Relying on my lunch partner, Maureen's dining experience at Nakhon Kitchen, she told me the concept at Soi Thai Kitchen is similar to Nakhon Kitchen even down to the plates used for the food. I have not tried Nakhon Kitchen because I was always turned off by the long queues. Anyway back to the food at Soi Thai Kitchen...

Thick Tom Yum Soup (prawn) 3.8/5

Came with fresh prawns and mushrooms, the Thick Tom Yum Soup ($6) was not too spicy. I felt it was just right with a nice balanced of sourness and spiciness. Only disappointment there is no seafood Tom Yum Soup on the menu. I would prefer more choices in my tom yum soup not just only prawn or chicken.

Thai Style Kang Kong 4/5

For just a mere 6 dollar, the portion was quite worthy. Nicely cooked to a crunchy bite, the Thai Style Kang Kong ($6) came with a very homely flavour.

Beef Paneang 4.2/5

Using beef cheeks for the Beef Paneang ($10), the Thai style red chilli beef was my favourite. The beef cheeks were extremely tender with a nice thin layer of fats. It is not really a spicy dish more towards the sweetness side. The gravy goes with the rice very well.

Thai Yellow Ginger Chicken 4/5

The Thai Yellow Ginger Chicken ($8) was very flavourful, nicely coated with the yellow ginger sauce. The chicken was tender and juicy. However we thought the dish can be a bit spicier.

Sea Bass with Namjim Larb 4.2/5

Something for a different this time, I tried the Sea Bass with Namjim Larb ($22). The highlight was the Namjim dipping sauce. Made with ingredients such as garlic, fish sauce, lime juices, sugar and chilli, the sourness went very well with the fish meat. In addition, the dipping sauce also came with minced pork in it.

Mango Sticky Rice 4/5

We had the Mango Sticky Rice ($5) wrapping up the sumptuous lunch at Soi Thai Kitchen.

I consider Soi Thai Kitchen value for money with the wallet friendly pricing. At Soi Thai Kitchen, you can also send back your food for adjustment if you find it not spicy enough or too spicy to your likings. Now or rather for the moment, I have a good alternative and reason to skip Nakhon Kitchen if I want to beat the queues for Thai food.
