Dempsey Hill seems like a perfect place for a nice, sunny Sunday afternoon, had everyone hadn't think the same way as I am. It was a little past the lunch time, well maybe it was the lunch time for some people (It's the weekend, you know) that almost all the restaurants are packed with people. Even the road and the parking place are crowded with cars. So we went around to find a place to eat, somewhere we haven't tried before. That very moment I spotted Tawandang, a Thai Restaurant which seems to have only few customers sitting on the outside. We approached thee waitress and he took us in, and that's when I realize that I was wrong.
Green Curry Chicken
By the time he opened the door, the soundsof people chattering inside find their way out. There are more than 6 groups of people dining in, from which the two of them are the large ones. High ceilings, natural furnitues, red walls and some jazz seemed cozy enough for us. Despite the Authentic name, Tawandang Microbrewery is a modern Thai Restaurant and Bar which serves mostly German Beers. They're having a life performance at night; but I don't know the exact timing.
Spicy Kang Kong with Shrimp Paste
The foods are surprisingly nice, inspite of the merger between Thai and Germany cuisines. The Green Curry is rich in herb flavours, a little spicy and sour altogether. It came in a pot a size of individual steamboat pot and they're pretty generous in the tender chicken.
Spicy Pork Salads
This spicy prok salad is very refreshing. It has a sour-peppery gravy with some raw red onions, green chilies, dried red chilies and of course, herb leaves. This is the top rated dish for that day, it will wash away all those little sick feelings after consuming too much coconut milk from the curry.
Overall, the foods and the vibe are casual, yet we enjoy them very much. Will I come back? Maybe not in a short period, (there's still so many more to try!) but that was a nice dining experience that was worth a try.
