MBK Center – Food Court, Level 6 – A quick bite and a chance to sample more delightful Thai food as you wander through the vast malls of shopping

Infamous for the many floors of shopping, and probably around 3-levels of food-source.  We were advised by foodie friends to go checkout the food-court on L6. It’s a coupon-based food-court – where you first purchase coupons in exchange for food within the vast food-court.  Unused coupons can be refunded for cash at the end of your meal.

The beef and beef ball noodle soup – available in 3 sizes – was served in a claypot.  Delicious, light herbal-like soup and tasty beef balls.  The beef itself was sliced a bit thick, and so were the noodles. Nevertheless, the combination with the soup was still pleasant for the taste-buds.

Stewed Pork with Rice – The dish is served with a side of preserved vegetables and bean sprouts, and a strand of stewed intestine (which I passed!).  Accompaniment sauces and chilies were for you to pick and choose.   I picked on the cut green chili and also some fresh chili sauce.  Both were extremely spicy!   This meal was another very pleasant experience.

Fried Oysters, commonly known around Singapore/Malaysia as “O-Luat” or Oyster Omelet.  The serve of oysters in the omelet was a generous serve and cooked beautifully, YUM! Though my eating companion complained about the equally generous amount of slightly cooked bean sprouts (garnish), I felt it was nice and refreshing for the palate – the bean sprouts in Thailand seem to be exceptionally fresh, juicy and sweet.

The Mango & Sticky Rice was pretty good, mango was nice and sweet, and there was just enough salt and coconut milk on the sticky rice.

The Cold Snow Dessert was a delight!  You get a choice of three dessert ‘condiments’ from the glass cabinet. Syrup is then added along with shaved ice and splash of coconut milk. We picked water-chestnuts coated in gelatin-rice flour, black jelly, and palm seed.   Although the water-chestnuts lacked both flavour and crunch, it was still a nice cooling dessert.

Note… The pig trotters – if not already sold-out – are supposed to be really good, if you’re game enough to try it.
