A Thai dinner with BB built around their fun claypot noodles: $30.70 for the spread. ๐๐
What we had:
- A seafood claypot Mama tom yum noodle: mussels, prawn and squid in a creamy tom yum broth
- A pork claypot Mama tom yum noodle: minced and sliced pork, a soft-boiled egg, fishball, sliced fishcake and broccoli
- Two Thai iced milk teas
The signature here is the Mama tom yum noodles served in a bubbling claypot, which keeps the soup screaming hot right to the end. Mama is the famous Thai instant noodle brand, and using it is properly authentic, those springy curly noodles drinking up a rich, spicy-sour tom yum broth that hits sweet, sour, salty and chilli all at once.
The seafood version was the more luxurious bowl, the broth turning creamy and the mussels and prawn adding a sweet brininess. The pork one was the comforting all-rounder, with the soft-boiled egg yolk melting into the soup, plus fishballs and greens to round it out.
To cool the heat, the Thai iced milk tea was perfect: that bright orange, sweet-and-creamy condensed-milk tea is the classic foil to a fiery tom yum.
A warming, spicy, hands-on dinner that we happily worked our way through.
Overall: 4.6 / 5. ๐๐๐ผ Spicy-sour Mama tom yum in claypots with sweet Thai milk tea to cool down, a fun and hearty Thai dinner. Would re-visit.
