Authentic Thai Cuisine in Tsim Sha Tsui

📍 Thai Zai 🔎 Shop 2, G/F, 21 Ashley Road, Tsim Sha Tsui ----- Last Friday after work, I visited this Thai restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui that my friend highly recommended, claiming it to be very authentic. The restaurant's decor features a Thai street-style vibe, with colorful Thai wall fabrics that make you feel like you're in a Bangkok alley. The staff and chefs speak Thai, adding to the authentic Thai experience. 🥢 Pork Boat Noodles The broth is rich and aromatic, with perfectly balanced seasoning and a hint of basil fragrance. The pork slices are thin, evenly cut, tender, and retain their natural pork flavor. High quality, comparable to the famous Samsen boat noodles but at a more affordable price. 🥢 Thai Tiger Prawns with Stir-fried Rice Noodles The rice noodles are stir-fried to perfection—dry and not greasy. The tiger prawns are fresh, plump, and have a bouncy texture. A solid, high-quality dish. 🥢 Thai-style Seafood Omelette The omelette is packed with seafood, including fresh shrimp, oysters, and squid, delivering a burst of umami. Paired with Thai sweet chili sauce, the taste and texture are somewhat reminiscent of Taiwanese oyster omelette. However, this version is more moist rather than dry-fried, differing from traditional Thai oyster pancakes. 🥢 Thai-style Stir-fried Morning Glory The morning glory is stir-fried to perfection with a slight wok hei aroma. It's refreshing and not overly salty, with a strong garlic flavor and moderate spiciness. A great side dish to complement the richer main courses. 🥥 Coconut Ice Cream Toast (Milk Tea Sauce + Pandan Sauce Mix) The dessert was a delightful surprise. The toast is crispy on the outside with a buttery aroma and soft inside, paired with fragrant coconut ice cream. The contrast between hot and cold textures is excellent. The milk tea sauce is rich but not overwhelming, while the pandan sauce adds a subtle grassy fragrance. Indulgent yet truly satisfying.
