I always eat Nara when I travel to Thailand 🇹🇭. I have been bookmarking it in Hong Kong, and I can finally taste the taste of Thailand 🌴! Sit down and be the first to serve crispy shrimp crackers, so fragrant and peppery, and large slices of crispy bubbly, which will satisfy your appetite. Wide open😋!
🔸Thai Northeast snack platter $138
The Thai platter is so special. I thought it was spring rolls and shrimp cakes. The platter has super rich and spicy pork balls🐖; pork sausages that taste like sausages; and pork sausages with lemongrass and spiciness. , rich in taste, with lettuce wraps🥬, and the fried meat can taste delicious💯
🔸Thai stir-fried Phnom Penh noodles $128
I love the Italian stir-fried Phnom Penh Noodles, which combines four flavors: spicy, sour, salty, and spicy💥. The stir-fried Phnom Penh Noodles here are full of wok flavor and have a strong egg flavor. Add a few drops of lime juice when eating the fruit, and it will be more delicious. Add flavor🤤.
🔸Thai coconut chicken soup $108
The sour and spicy food is very appetizing, the coconut flavor is strong🥥, the chicken is tender and smooth, the spiciness is on the left and the less spicy, which really suits my taste. Friends who are not afraid of spicy food can try the full version😍
🔸Sea Salt Caramel Thai Milk Tea $42
The milk tea has a super strong flavor, with just the right proportion of sea salt and caramel, making it sweet but not greasy🥹
🔸Coconut Smoothie $55
The coconut flavor is fresh and sweet, rich and mellow, and it is really refreshing to drink in hot summer💦!

This Thai restaurant is mid-priced and has a wide variety of food, including main courses, desserts, and appetizers.
᪥The main course I chose is Thai-style boat river. The boat river includes beef slices, beef tendons, beef balls, etc. It is very rich. The beef tendon is soft and chewy, and all set meals are served with Thai salad, which is just enough.
᪥The other one is minced meat, tamagoyaki, tofu and vermicelli soup. It looks like a light soup, but contains delicious minced meat. The clear soup is also full of minced meat flavor. It comes with tamagoyaki tofu, plenty of vermicelli, celery, green vegetables, etc. It’s A simple Thai dish that is not greasy at all.
᪥Crispy shrimp cakes, shrimp cakes are available in full portion and half portion. This time we chose half portion. We like the sweet and sour sauce with shrimp cakes. The shrimp cakes are rich in ingredients, taste of shrimp meat, and have a great texture.
᪥Thai milk tea, the milk tea is smooth and mellow. The garlic naan is crispy, piping hot and feels warm in your mouth. The restaurant seats are spacious and sofa seats are available. It's a great place to hang out with friends.

The dishes are fresh enough and the Thai sauce is so delicious.

My boyfriend and I have very different preferences for Italian food, and Thai food rarely satisfies both of our tastes! Today I went to Shatin to return my books and went for a meal. I saw how many people there were at Nara Thai Cuisine. I don’t like Thai food, so I decided to eat there!
First, I sat down and immediately ate the shrimp crackers ($15). I was too busy at work today to have lunch and I was so hungry XD After I finished my meal, I used the QR code to order!
My favorite is Zuo Salted Egg Green Papaya Salad ($98), recommended by my hot girl, but if you can’t stand spicy food, it’s best to use less spicy food! Thai stir-fried vegetables ($68) are tender and flavorful! Thai Fried Phnom Penh Noodles ($128) My boyfriend loves this delicious dish! On the contrary, I like the Nara Special Fried Rice ($108). As a woman who doesn’t like smelly rice, I like it because it is full of ingredients and dry enough to keep me from getting wet!
In terms of drinks, my boyfriend drank Sea Salt Caramel Thai Milk Tea ($42) and I chose Zuo Hao Fresh’s Fresh Mango Smoothie ($55). I saw that many at the quarantine counter call it Tom Yum Soup. I might try it next time!

I went to this mall to buy hiking supplies with my friends. After shopping, I felt hungry and wanted to eat. I saw the Thai food here and it was very satisfying, so I decided to go in and have a meal🤣
There are several "Lunch Combo lunch sets" here, so we chose the $118 "Create-your-taste Thai Boat Noodles" and the $118 "Thai-style roasted pork neck with rice" , "Lunch set" includes "selected salad, soup of your choice, main dish, and drinks"🤣
"Soup of your choice" I ordered "Coconut Chicken Soup (spicy)" and "Tom Yum Goong Soup", both are rich and delicious🤣
"Salad🥗": There is chicken and pineapple cut into small pieces, and some vegetables. It is simple and delicious🤣
"Thai-style roasted pork neck with white rice": The pork neck is roasted very fragrantly and can be eaten with white rice🤩
For the "Thai Style Boat Noodles of your choice", I chose the soup base "Seafood Tom Yum Soup (less spicy)", the noodle base "Phnom Penh Noodles", and 3 pieces of "Beef Tendon, Pork Slices, Fish Slices"🤩
"Hot lemon tea🍋☕️" I ordered 2 cups, it's so hot🤩

Yellow Curry Dungeness Crab with Garlic Buns
Among all kinds of curries, yellow curry is my favorite! The crab meat curry here cleverly combines the aroma of curry and the deliciousness of crab meat. They balance each other well without overpowering the other. It goes really well with the garlic paste wrap!
Pineapple and meat floss seafood fried rice
Basically every time I eat Thai food, I must order it. This time, a fresh pineapple is used to serve seafood fried rice. The ingredients are very rich, including clams, scallops, mussels, etc. It is very appetizing!

The portion is larger than expected😆 and the curry is so delicious that I immediately ordered the left bowl of white rice😍😍 The whole soft shell crab is fried and delicious! Full of crab paste, super satisfying after eating🙈🙈

A new park, Dinosaur Park, has just opened in the new city. After playing, we took the children to eat Thai food. The children really like the pineapple, meat floss and seafood fried rice. There is also a snack (shrimp cake) served at the beginning, which the children ate. Don't stop talking, very delicious.

This pineapple fried rice has a lot of ingredients, including meat floss and raisins.
I would also like to praise the pineapple. It is so sweet, meaty and juicy. Children can eat it after scratching it. It's so sincere, there are prawns on it, they are super big and very chewy. The fried rice is so fragrant and delicious that you can’t get enough of it.

This one is highly recommended. It has many ingredients and the taste is so good. It’s close to what you get in Thailand, and you can already smell the aroma from afar. I really like their mushrooms, and their chicken is really delicious.

The weather has been cool recently. After traveling to a new city, my friend and I wanted to go to a Thai restaurant for dinner. Nara is a Michelin-recommended restaurant in Thailand, and the quality is impressive🌟
Before each order, there will be a basket of shrimp crackers for snacks. They are crispy and delicious, and you can’t stop eating them😆
Thai Mandarin Duck Pork Knuckle $198
Dianli is a signature dish. I saw a lot of dishes tonight and called them pork knuckles😆🐷 Mandarin duck refers to 1️⃣marinated pork knuckles 2️⃣crispy fried pork knuckles and served with spicy garlic sauce and sour seed sauce. Both cooking methods are unique. , the flavor of the brine, the crispy and fragrant taste, the similarities are that the thick pork skin is cooked to the same softness, and you can immediately feel the sticky collagen bb👶🏻 in the mouth, and the meat of the pork knuckles has the same texture as the soft meat, but it still maintains the texture. The gravy is very delicious when dipped in the sour and spicy sauce 😍
Pineapple, meat floss and seafood fried rice $128
Topped with a whole pineapple, it is full of Thai style🍍The rice is stir-fried until the grains are distinct and dry. It is fried with shrimp head oil and paired with tiger prawns, scallops and other seafood. It is very tasty. Dried raisins are also added to the rice. Same as pineapple pieces, making it taste sweet, sour and appetizing🤤
Lime Soda $38
A must-drink when eating Thai food is lime soda, which has a refreshing taste and moderate sweetness.
Thai coffee $38
Thai coffee has a stronger flavor than ordinary coffee, and the aroma of the coffee surrounds your mouth.

Nara Thai Cuisine (New Town Plaza Phase 1) (Shatin)
.
One of the best Thai food choices in Shatin
There is a plate of crispy shrimp crackers in one dish, which is quite delicious.
.
▪️Roast pork neck with green papaya salad▪️
.
The roasted pork neck is generous and served with refreshing green papaya salad.
.
▪️ Green Curry Chicken▪️
.
The green curry was spicier than I expected. I don’t like rice, so I called it Zuofen Pancake.
The pancakes are very crispy and fragrant as soon as they are served.
.
▪️Thai Coconut Chicken Soup▪️
.
The coconut chicken soup is called Zuo Shao Shao Shao Spicy, a bit sour, and the noodles have a mushroom flavor.
Since the weather is so cold, it’s nice to have a bowl of coconut chicken while it’s warm.

It’s rare to get to Shatin today, so of course I have to go back to the New Town Plaza where I used to go all day long! I was so reluctant to go there, it feels so different from a shopping mall. After looking at the water sign, I suddenly wanted to eat Thai food. I found out that this restaurant has branches in Tsim Sha Tsui and the food was pretty good when I visited it. There’s no one queuing up yet, so go straight in on the left!
The environment of this branch is very spacious, there are a lot of booths, and there are many empty seats in the middle of the stage. The overall feeling is actually a bit like a resort! The shop assistants are also very polite! It’s super convenient to use QR code to place orders.
First of all, there are Thai shrimp cakes as an appetizer, so crispy and delicious! There are two things that I think are delicious. The first one is a rice paper roll with meat, which is a big portion of the rice rolls we usually eat. It uses a lot of herbs and a spicy green sauce. Super fresh and refreshing! The second dish is a bowl of Thai beef boat noodles. The soup base is so rich, and it uses a lot of ingredients, including medium-rare beef, beef tendon, beef shank, beef cypress leaves, and beef balls, all of which are very delicious. , with fried pork skin inside, I think it’s delicious. In addition, I really like the noodle base, it really tastes like Thai food!

I ate there once with my family a long time ago. The seats were super comfortable and perfect for gatherings.
Crispy Shrimp Cake
Basically, I order shrimp cakes every time. The shrimp cakes are big, chewy and have super thick meat.
Mixed Vegetables and Coconut Soup
Because I wanted to have some food, I ordered a soup. The coconut flavor is very rich, there are many kinds of mixed vegetables, and it tastes a little sour. Because we go for the spiciness, if we don’t go for the spiciness, it would taste a bit like hot and sour soup.
Pad Thai Shrimp Paste
This rice noodle is very thin, wide and very tasty. Personally, I think this rice noodle tastes better than the usual rice noodle.
Yellow curry prawns
It's a big plate, but we should actually order it with white rice, because yellow curry goes well with rice. The shrimps are fried and taste more chewy.
In fact, there is now afternoon tea for two during the afternoon tea period. If you are not too hungry, high tea is also very good.

My dad wanted to eat Thai food before my business trip so we picked a Thai restaurant in Sha Tin. I wasn’t feeling very well that day so I picked a non-spicy coconut soup. I like that the soup is kept warm by a candle and quite a lot of vegetables are inside. My dad picked a boat noodle which he highly recommended! The boat noodles have so many different kinds of assorted and the noodle is so delicious. Not too expensive - around 130 hk dollars.
