Tried this shop almost half year ago and got impressed. It's actually a chain to Simply Thai at Food Forum of Times Square, but the price range is generally 10 to 20% higher.
1. Spinach chopped garlic stir fried HK$62. When it was served, the aroma is like from my own private kitchen. I asked my friend who tried my cooking for comments. Bingo! It's exactly just like what I stir fry veggie. Finely chopped garlic, slight salt and sugar with some yellow wine. 2. OK, I seldom do this one at home as I don't like deep frying at home. Deep fried shrimp patties HK$68. Very nice deep frying. Dry and crispy on the outside but tender, bouncy (yes, very bouncy) and juicy and the portion of pork and shrimp is perfect. The pork brings the juice and if the shrimp is fresh enough, it will give a very bouncy texture. See that lime. It's slightly grilled. Wow, the aroma of the lime peel is so good to go with this patty. What's more, the chili sauce is a mix of some local chili sauce (like Yu Kun Yik 余均益) and Thai sweet chili sauce. Sometimes the Thai sweet chili sauce is a bit too sweet to me. The chef did a good job to slightly adjust it but the result is whole lot different.
3. Grilled platter HK$138. The mushroom was nicely grilled with some herb and oil. Good quality beef filet. Chicken skewer marinated in nice tumeric. Squid marinated in some fish sauce. Tomato finely grilled too. In the middle is the slice cucumber in vinegar and some mint. Everything was done perfect! 4. Stir fried noodle with grilled chicken, asparagus and basil HK$78. Very good technique in stir frying. Chicken breast very moist with strong grilled aroma.
5. Banana pudding with rum raisin ice cream HK$48. Still kept at very high standard. It's also a favourite of the Angel. Warm moist banana pudding (kind like a muffin) and the home made rum raisin is superb. See the vanilla sauce. So good. 6. Guava sorbet (left), ginger (middle) and honey comb (right) HK$39. See that zic-zac leaf. The chef is very thoughtful to put the ice cream on a zic-zac leaf so that it would slow down the melting process. All these are home made and not too sweet. The ginger ice cream is very ginger! Then re the honey comb, very slight salt was put in the honey. This way it will bring out the fragrant of the honey. Very clever since the ice cream taste (egg york, milk and sugar...etc.) would cover the honey flavour. Bravo!

The dishes look good and price is normal for HK standard.
$5 US for 3 scoops of ice cream is cheap in US.
It's quite reasonable and in fact, the food and services are pretty good.
