Diandin Leluk Thai Restaurant At Golden Mile Complex
June 26, 2017Golden Mile Complex, also know as “Little Thailand” is an old building with many hidden gems and catering mainly to the Thai community in Singapore, it houses many Thai clubs, shops, tourist and ticketing agencies, and most importantly, it is famous for their authentic Thai food which is also friendly for the pocket ;)
We were definitely spoilt for choice upon stepping inside Golden mile complex as we were greeted by an appetising aroma of Thai herbs wafting out from the restaurants surrounding us. Our latest discovery among the many eateries was Diandin Leluk.
If you are looking for a nice and comfortable setting to sit in and have a nice catch up session with your friends over a hearty meal, Diandin Leluk is definitely a place to go.
The venue was brightly lit with white lights (which allows you to see the food very clearly and eat under a good lighting) unlike majority of the eateries in the vicinity which was pretty dim. The eatery was fairly neat and clean, with displays of their specialities on boards hanging around the restaurant, which aided us in choosing our dishes for the night among the plentiful dishes available on the menu.
To keep the soup hot, it was served and warmed in a stainless steel hot pot. I believe that the soup is made from scratch with authentic Thai ingredient. The chilli hits at the back of my throat and it was ‘shiokkkkk’ [sheer pleasure and happiness]. Even my friend who couldn’t take spices drank to the last drip. Every sip I took, the flavours slowly unfold and it gets better and better. The seafood in the soup was generous and plenty. In my opinion, the soup was worth ordering.
When the dish arrive, the first thing I noticed was the shape of the prawn cake. It resemble a hybrid of a breaded curry bun and a donut. The flavour was straightforward. The taste is pretty much SEAWAVES frozen prawn ball from NTUC, coated with breadcrumb. It looks like homemade though. For SGD3 a piece, I feel that it was overpriced.
Pandan Leaf Chicken (SGD 12/4pcs 15/5pcs 18/6pcs) |
Next on the list is the Stir Fried Chicken with Basil Leaves & Chilli. Take note, weak stomach avoid this at all cost. Phew! I had a rough battle that night. It is worth it? Heck yeah! The sauce was the star of the dish. It has that ‘wok hei ’ taste that I enjoy alot. It was the best dish to served along side with rice.
Steamed Thai Otah (SGD 12/6pcs) |
Mango with Sticky Rice (SGD 6) |
Red Ruby (SGD 3) |
Thai Ice Tea (SGD 1.80) | Ice Green Tea (SGD 1.80) |
Food was not extraordinary nor was it terribly bad. I think I was expecting more since it was highly recommended. However considering the travelling time, quality of food and price, I think I would just settle down with neighbourhood Thai restaurant.
Expected Damage per person: SGD 6 - 20
Overall, a ‘I was expecting more’ 1 ninja star
