The place certainly looks like a fast food outlet, complete with colourful wallpapers and comfortable couch-chair, as well as an 'outside area' for those who are smokers.
We ordered the Tom Yam Gai Nam Sai, which is essentially Tom Yam soup with chicken. It is a bit too light for me, as i was expecting something more spicy. It's a bit too oily though. Taste-wise, passable la.
We also ordered the Snack Platter set, which is supposed to be a combo plate filled with finger-licking street favourites specially chosen by their chefs, or it says so on the menu. Now I don't remember the names of these street fares, even as our waitperson rattled off in a string of Thai words trying to describe what are those things. We'll just have to take his word that these are indeed top favourite street fares. But I have to say thought, the plate, when it arrives, fail to excite me. It looks like just some chicken wings and fried tofus. I was half-expecting deep-boiled scorpions or fried grubs, at the very least. But I guess we get the 'censored' version.
Next, we also had a plate of Sai Lek Kee Mao Gai, which translates into Super stir-fried stick noodles with chicken. OK, so we learnt that 'Gai' in Thai means chicken, just like 'Gai' in Cantonese. Now this one is not bad. it is perfectly cooked with enough 'fire' to bring out its powerful taste. It may look like a harmful plate of noodles, but looks can be deceiving my friends!
For drinks, we both ordered the Kiwi Lime Cooler, which is self-explanatory i think.
Thai Express is a place to visit if you just want a quick Thai food fix at affordable prices. The other good thing about them is they also offer Special Set Lunch at just RM 15 net, which offers a choice of six main courses, along with soup and drink.
