Recently discovered a high-quality Thai restaurant “泰沾麵 Asura” in the underground of Peninsula Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui. As soon as you enter the door, you will see a large mural that is quite eye-catching. Combined with black and white floor tiles, gray brick walls, and Thai-style decorations, the decoration is simple yet distinctive.
The owner of Thai Noodle Shop, Ah Ken, has previously studied cooking at a Michelin-starred restaurant. Combined with his upbringing in Bangkok, he pays great attention to Thai cuisine. In addition to bringing authentic Thai flavors to Hong Kong, he also incorporates local tastes into various dishes.
The menu offers a wide selection of delicious dishes, including the must-try “Signature Thai Zha Noodles”. It uses Thai rice noodles with a generous amount of sauce, topped with pickled mustard greens and fried Chinese lettuce. It is then served with a choice of red curry or green curry, making it very flavorful. The curry also includes Hong Kong-style classic snacks such as pig’s blood and fish balls!
“Asura’s Curry Stir-Fried Crab” is also a must-try dish, with its curry specially cooked with duck eggs, giving it a fragrant aroma. The flavor is rich without overpowering the original freshness of the crab meat. Since this dish is only available for a limited quantity each day, it is recommended to pre-order if you want to try it!
Other snacks or dishes also have surprises, such as “Thai-style pan-fried scallops” dipped in homemade sauce and spices, which can enhance the freshness and add layers of flavor at the same time. The presentation is also Instagram-worthy. The “Thai-style salt and pepper abalone” is also top-notch in terms of taste!
Finally, don’t forget to try the dessert “Mango Sticky Rice”. You can taste the fresh sweetness of the mango and the coconut fragrance, while the sticky rice has a chewy texture that makes you want to take bite after bite!
