After you see around, now I will explain a bit about this restaurant. Actually is originally coming from Malaysia but they bring out "Thai Street Food" with the REAL TASTE of Thai Cuisine. I admit that if you want taste the true flavor of Thai Food, you have to choose Boat Noodle. As I read on the their official website, this restaurant is inspired by a delicate dish called "Boat Noodle" which originates from floating markets of AYUTTHAYA, Thailand. Some kind like this.

Wall Art

They started their first outlet in Empire Damansara in March 2014 by only serving noodles. The original Boat Noodle has grown in leaps and bounds as the "Place To Go" for Thai Food. Their menu has hence grown incorporating more of the local Thai Street Foods. The décor comes alive as a real hustle of the everyday street food that we see in Thailand.

Lets see how they are preparing the food

BOAT NOODLE

The good news is 1 Bowl of Boat Noodle costs IDR 8.500,-/portion which is affordable for anyone. But I gotta tell you, it has a small portion and as the "Wall Art" said, "One Bowl Is Never Enough", you have to order more than one and then you will stack the bowl after you finish one bowl. Order it again and again until you full and realize that you have already made a Bowl Tower.  That's the story behind the stacking bowls in this restaurant.

When ordering Boat Noodle, you must choose your preferences :
1. Noodles : Rice Noodles or Egg Noodles
2. Meat : Chicken or Beef
3. Soup : Pathumtani or Ayutthaya

The Pathumtani recipe has been crafted to create a dark soy sauce broth that tastes both sour-ish and spicy. Made with 19 selected herbs, it also contains a generous amount of 5 spice powder. The blend of star anise and cinnamon sticks makes it even more tasteful.

The Ayutthaya recipe is a creamy dark broth packed with flavor. The fusion of the 10 finest herbs, various spices and coconut milk creates thicker with mouth-watering taste.

If you ask which one I prefer, I choose AYUTTHAYA because I love its creamy and herbs. They also add chooped Coriander, clove, and ginger to enhance the flavor. I suggest you to taste both Pathumtani dan Ayutthaya and decide your preference.

Lets move the next section and we still talk about food
