6 December 2024: I found this restaurant through a Michelin recommendation.

I enjoyed the Pla Phao, which is described as a “salted crust fish stuffed with lemongrass, Pandan and lime leaf, sauced with chilli dips”. There was a lot of delicious fish meat which I enjoyed wrapped in lettuce and vermicelli.

We also enjoy the Khao Soi, a Northern Thai coconut curry noodle.

Washed down with a young coconut.

A comfortable and ambient place to enjoy dinner.

Michelin recommended small gem restaurant in tai kok tsui. Not a lot of food choices but each dish is very yummy and big portion. The beef curry is my favourite with crispy garlic bread. Normal dining hour is 1.5 hours for dinner but we went on Thu not a lot of guests so can sit longer.

Holy smokes what a surprise! We kind of aimlessly looked for a restaurant for dinner and found ourselves in front of Saya. We saw that it was Thai food with nice décor so we decided to dine here. We were absolutely blown away by the food. This place had achieved the Michelin Guide's Bib Gourmand and they back it up with their great food. For starters, the staff were very friendly and helpful so that always adds to the experience. They offer a 90 minute free flow for wine/beer/sparkling as well. For the food, we had gotten the Khao Soy, the Pad See Ew and the Larb Muang Moo. All three of these were wonderful. The Khao Soy had and amazing curry with the perfect mix of regular noodles and fried noodles. The Pad See Ew had great wok hay and it was stir fried to perfect. Lastly we had the Larb Muang Moo and we had requested this to be extra spicy. They weren't kidding with the spice, but it was fragrant and absolutely delicious when paired with the lettuce and herbs. A 10/10 restaurant and will definitely be back in the future!

So I hit up this Michelin-starred Thai food in Tai Kok Tsui last Sunday. The menu ain't exactly overflowing, but the dishes I ordered were straight fire, no lie.

The Thai Northern Curry with Golden Noodles is a must-try dish. The crispy noodles and that curry sauce. They just hit different.

And the Crab Omelette? Don't let the looks fool you - that thing's packed with tasty crab meat, way better than it seems at first glance.

the Prawn Salad? Perfect little appetizer, got that sweet and sour thing goin' on that really gets your taste buds going.

All in all, this place definitely earned that Michelin star, no doubt about it.

It is on the Michelin’s Bib Gournand guide, but it seems not very popular among the public. Not many customers in the restaurant so I can enjoy a quiet chitchat time with my friends. The Best dish of all I ordered is the Pla Phao. The skin is coated heavily with salt and baked with soft and tender. The flesh is very juicy and I can feel a hint of the herbs in the fish’s belly. The way to enjoy it is wrapping the flesh with lettuce, vermicelli noodles, mint leaves and dipping the wrap into the sweet and spicy sauce. The Khao soy and Larb Muang Moo are fairly ok. The soup of the noodles are fragrant and coconut-y. There are various toppings to pair with the egg noodles and the fried egg noodles. The noodles are ok but the toppings are perfect! The minced pork is very spicy and I like the chewy pork skin inside the minced meat. We each ordered drinks, and I order young coconut coffee. It is not sweet at all and the coconut tastes is much stronger than the coffee. It is a nice place to enjoy a good time with friends and Thai food.
