Thai You Up With Authentic Thai Food Review

Hello Everyone! I am back again with another food review! Any Thai Food lovers out there?  I recall my yearly trip (before COVID-19) to Bangkok with my mother, we spent the week eating and shopping and it was a complete getaway from Singapore! Specifically, I remember a fried rice store that sells fried rice for only $1.60...

I am not sure if the stall is still there or not, but till today, I can't stop thinking about the fried rice that tasted so good and so cheap, it was sort of a cheap trill for me and my mother!  So talking about Thai Food, I am sure many of you have your own favourite go-to Thai Stall in Singapore! Allow me to share with you another Thai Stall that I have tried!

1. Basil Chicken rice w sunny side up and veg spring roll

Firstly, we all know Basil Chicken Rice is one of the most popular Thai street food, it can never go wrong especially with the flavors packed in it and how fragrant the sauce is. It is usually served with rice and topped with sunny side up, just like this bento but with an addition to its perfection, vege spring roll!
The vege spring roll is super crunchy and each layer of the spring roll is extremely thin which makes every bite feels like a brand new bite! Various ingredients are stuffed in the spring roll, for me, this spring roll serves as an “easing of spiciness from basil chicken” ingredient! Everything is super compatible, every bite of this meal only made me yearn for more! This has to be my favorite dish - Yes I said it!

Next up, we have the iconic Pineapple Fried Rice, as the name suggests, there is pineapple flavor in it but it is just a hint for it which I think, it’s suitable for people who don’t like to eat Pineapple and that’s me! I tend to avoid any food with Pineapple incorporated in it but WOW, I must say, I genuinely enjoyed this set of bento. On top of that, it comes with chicken wing and even only consuming it hours after it’s been cooked, the chicken wing wasn’t soggy at all! I have high expectations when it comes to chicken wing but really Thai You Up, is really hitting higher than the standard bar for Thai Food!

This is for those who prefer a less spicy version of the red curry, it is on the sweeter side. Green Curry Chicken hasn't been of my liking since the start but I would say, it is a fairly delicious bowl of Green Curry Chicken for someone who avoids having Green Curry Chicken! The chicken used is also super fresh, super filling when consumed with the rice! Also, it comes with Samosa, a super common finger South Asian Finger Food! It is considered a savoury dish and shaped in a triangle form, it can never go wrong! 

Did you know that Thai Fish Cake is pronounced as Tod Mun Pla in Thai?  For its interior, it has a smooth texture to it because it is made of minced fish meat, somewhat like a paste texture! Overall, this fish cake taste as similar as the one I had in Thailand, if not better!  As for the rest, it looks super similar to the one I had in Thailand a few years back and not just the appearance itself, the taste is super close to it! Every mouth of the rice is super fragrant that makes you want to keep having more of it! Literally nothing  is wrong about this set of Bento!

Calling out to those who love spicy food, this is for you! This bento set includes Rice, Vege Spring Roll and most importantly, Mala Xiang Guo! The Mala Xiang Guo has ingredients like Chicken, Maggi, potato and it is topped with peanut, just like many other Mala Xiang Guo! Just on my first bite, I could instantly feel the spiciness and that's when, I consumed it with the white rice! Not forgetting the Vege Spring Roll, it is the same as the one in the Basil Chicken Bento, there is nothing much left to be said, it is superb!
