Another meal at Dee Tongue Thai by Rung Mama

Dee Tongue Thai by Rung Mama, Golden Mile

Came back because we remembered that there were things on the menu at Dee Tongue Thai by Rung Mama that had previously gotten our attention.

Dee Tongue Thai by Rung Mama, som tam

I wanted to give their som tam a go to see if it's good here.

Dee Tongue Thai by Rung Mama, som tam

After a generous blanket of crushed peanuts and a dusting of sugar, it was all good. Very good.

Dee Tongue Thai by Rung Mama, kailan crispy pork egg rice

This first rice dish and the som tam tided us over while the other dishes took their time to arrive. The stir fry of kailan was not bad. Not a fan of the crispy pork which wasn't actually crispy.

Dee Tongue Thai by Rung Mama, grilled squid

The expensive grilled squid wasn't as charred or aromatic as we would have liked. While I thought the chilli dip on the side was nice and spicy, it robbed the squid of most of its flavour including those from the caramelized sweet glaze.

Dee Tongue Thai by Rung Mama, grilled pig's tongue

This was their grilled pig's tongue. The texture was more crunchy than tender. While I didn't dislike it, I don't think so much of them either. The jaew that came with this wasn't too spicy and made a better dip for the squids than the chilli that came with those. 

Dee Tongue Thai by Rung Mama, tom kha gai

Dee Tongue Thai had a thin and creamy tom kha gai. Even though it wasn't as rich as the ones from Gin Khao or Sawadee Thai, it was enjoyable and packed a bit of heat.

Gotta have more rice with those dip drenched meats and soup.

Dee Tongue Thai by Rung Mama, iced milk coffee

And some iced milk coffee to quell the heat. The coffee here was stronger than it looked. That's a good thing.
