I've read about Soi Thai Soi Nice (#B1-14/15 Raffles City Shopping Centre, 252 North Bridge Road, tel : +65 6261 7106) some time back when they had a restaurant at Alexandra Central. They seemed to be known for their Thai hot pots. By the time we wanted to go, that had closed. We stumbled upon this new outpost at Raffles City so here we were.
Their prawn cakes were nice. Crisp breading with no excessive grease. The prawn paste insides were tender and light.
That's their Thai mango sauce tofu. Wasn't sure how to reconcile the name of the dish with the dish itself. Egg tofu with green mango salad in what tasted like rojak paste/sauce. Maybe it's meant to be Thai mango, sauce and tofu. Not Thai mango sauce on tofu. It's not bad, just unexpected.
We ordered their chilli petai with minced meat to see how they were like compared to our local stir fry renditions. Also to compare against our benchmark. Flavour profile was different. The sauce was more tangy and the petai were a bit more crunchy. While they were generous with the petai, it was less meaty.
Steamed sea bass. Broth was refreshingly lime-y. Not a bad rendition but this didn't pack as much heat as those in Bangkok. If I had to compare with another local rendition of this dish, the one from Kra Pow was better.
