Shang Thai

I was suppose to do this ages ago but I have been so lazy. We enjoyed the food at shang-Thai, we went for lunch on the fourth day of Eid Al-Adha and we expected that the place will be packed but it was empty. Shang-Thai is located on top of Mirchee which is located next to Mcdonalds, Al-Khuwair, Sultan Qaboos Road.

We started with Xiang Zha Dui Xia (basically its shrimp on toast) and Dim Sum. Both went down very quickly and we all agreed that they were not bad.

Dim Sum ( 2.500 R.O) Xiang Zha Dui Xia (2.500 R.O)

For Drinks Faisal chose Lemon Fizz (1.200), both me & Abduallah decided on Ginger Lemonade (1.200 R.O) which is just like mint lemonade, but instead of mint you have ginger.

For our main course we went for the following:

Szechwan Chilli Prawn (6.000 R.O)

this dish was mild spicy, with a hint of sweetness but that was about it! I didn't like it much, However my three companions loved.

Kaeng Dang Goong (4.800)

This is Thai green curry , I know its not green color but that what it is. None of us liked this dish, we all thought it was too "coconuty". it was too hot that you could not detect any other taste, not even the shrimps!

Ped Makarm (4.800 R.O)

the Duck was my choice, I love duck meat and I have been craving for it so when I saw that they have it I ordered it with no hesitation. The dish was very sweet, there was nothing else special about. The only one who liked it was Sara, it was her favourite among the dishes.

Hakkian Noodles (3.200 R.O)

Sara decided that this was the best noodle dish she ever had in Oman! The rest of us just thought it was okish :p

Desserts:

Tempura Ice Cream (2.000 R.O) Kluay Thod (3.000 R.O)

The tempura ice cream was amazing, I don't know how they managed to fry the ice cream, its just beyond my imagination. What I liked about this dessert is that the ice cream was the source of sweetness while the batter covering it was not, this created a great balance between the two. It was the perfect ending for a good meal. Me, Sara and Faisal attacked the tempura ice cream, leaving Abduallah to tackle the Kluay Thod as he is a big fan of fried banana topped with ice cream.

Overall it was good experience, and we cant wait for our next visit to Shang Thai :)
