We noticed 87 Just Thai (57 Killiney Road, tel : +65 6269 8810) a while ago and made a mental note to come try their food. The food was delicious. They're located at the unit that used to be Freshly Baked by Le Bijoux. That was a long time ago huh?
Got mango salad. It wasn't so much how I imagined but it wasn't bad tasting. Sweet, sour and spicy with a refreshing crunch plus that fish sauce umami. Oh, there's also another kind of crunch from whole peanuts and crispy anchovies in there too. Portions were kinda small and I thought it was a pity this wasn't the dryer rendition that was accompanied with extra condiments to spruce to your liking.
Loved their Thai styled stir fried kang kong. The difference between this Thai rendition and the local sambal kang kong apart from the lack of sambal was the use of fermented beans and fish sauce. That combination resulted in a something that was moreish, savoury and spicy with the bonus of a nice vegetable crunch from well managed timing of the stir fry. So good with rice.
Rice came next. We had ours topped with a fried egg.
I'd call this century egg krapow moo. Don't know the Thai name for it. It's basically krapow moo with fried century egg. Did not expect the fried basil leaves to be so light and crisp. This stuff was also good with rice.
This was their PFC - abbreviated from pandan fried chicken. There was a subtle sweetness in the flavour and the taste did remind me of a fried rendition of pandan chicken. Crispy, no excess grease and tender bird. I'd eat this again.
Tried their steamed tapioca dessert. The tapioca was pretty sweet but I liked it with the lightly salted coconut milk sauce. Will come back another time.
