Teak's Thai, Scoresby

Gaz and I visited a new restaurant, Teak's Thai at 10, Darryl St, Scoresby on Thursday just past. The restaurant was previously a Malaysian restaurant, one of those where you have to order at the counter and pay, then they'll bring the food over to you. It was ages ago that I was there, so while I was hopeful of adding another M'sian eatery to my list, I did not expect it to still be around.

Although this place is but a stone's throw from our place, I do not frequent this area and was pleasantly surprised to find a Chinese grocery store on the same row as the restaurant. So if the restaurant is a gem, then it's two birds with one stone. We can eat dinner and shop at the grocery store afterwards, just great!

These were the dishes we ordered.

Pinky in the blanket - What a cute name for an entree. It's prawn, wrapped up in spring roll pastry then deep fried. The prawns were very tasty, the sweet chilli sauce was also very good. The proprietor said it's made partly with pineapple, which explains the unique texture of the sauce.

Pad Thai - I always thought ordering noodles with rice is so weird, doesn't mix at all, but when there's only the two of us and we wanted to have the best of both worlds, this is what happens...

My only argument with this is the lack of 'liu'. Only a couple of pieces of chicken and tofu in the dish.
Spicy chicken with basil and chilli. The sauce was very good but the bamboo shoots is not something I like. I had the leftover for lunch and it stank up the whole lunch room. Those not accustomed to Asian food must be wondering what it was, so smelly.


This isn't one of the dishes we ordered that night. Just merely something I cooked at home during the week. Braised mushrooms and oyster with blanched lettuce. I must say it's one of my more successful dishes!

Overall, we enjoyed our dining experience at Teak's Thai. The dishes were good, and the service was quite fast although the wife was the only one serving. It was a good find indeed.
