Not a very big place but definitely cozy. Should be able to sit at least 40 pax. I guess there was also a second level which I did not manage to go up and take a look.
Simple Menu
A simple menu which doesn't have any pictures. Hence it was up to our own interpretation and imagination of how the dishes would turn out. There was also a section in the menu teaching people simple thai language tips on vegetarianism. We ordered a total of 4 dishes, a soup and dessert for 4 pax.
Tofu three flavours 80 BHT
Nicely presented, this tofu is basically Deep Fried Tofu served with Spicy and Sour sauce. I didn't quite like the texture of tofu in Thailand in comparison to the tofu we have in Singapore, as the tofu tastes harder. This tasted just okay in my opinion, as the spicy and sour sauce was too special for me to remember as well. In addition, it was mentioned as 3 flavours, which I think refers to Sweet, Sour and Spicy. Anyway, for the price, it is considerably cheap. The conversion rate is 1SGD: 22BHT.
Tom Yum Vegetable Soup 85 BHT
The only time I drank a really traditional Tom Yum soup was from Yuan Yuan Thai veg which is in Singapore. Hence i was looking forward to this as I finally get to drink Tom Yum Soup in Bangkok! Sadly, this didnt taste as nice as it looks. I was expecting it to be "VERY spicy" as what it was written in the menu, but this was far from being spicy, as it was almost tasteless to me. I reckon it was due to the fact that this place is patronised mainly by foreigners instead of asians, hence the spicyness was not there. Nonetheless, the amount of ingredients used was appealing.
Spaghetti with Meatball
The meat balls were made from chickpea flour mixed with grated vegetables and spices and deep fried to serve with spaghetti in rich tomato sauce. Gwennie said the meatballs wasnt too bad but I thought the spices were too rich in taste. Spaghetti was just okay in my opinion.
Fried Rice with Mixed Vegetable & Tofu 80 BHT
Rice cooked was 100% organic. Pretty nicely presented with lots of pine nuts and sunflower seeds as garnish. This fried rice didnt taste too badly as it was full of vegetables. One thing that came to mind was that most thai places in Bangkok do not serve mock items as their main ingredients and most food are prepared using fresh vegetables.
Pad Thai 80BHT
Again full of vegetables and ingredients. Was ok especially with the spicy Chili powder and peanuts. Wasnt a dish that sunnietart liked as it was full of beansprouts.
Banana Dessert
It was the dessert that saved the day! I couldnt remember the name of this dessert but It was served hot. Bananas served with hot coconut milk and cereal on top. This was really tasty but fattening at the same time.

As recommended by the boss, he said all locals adore this dish. Hence we ordered out of curiosity. It turned out to be so spicy that sunnietart and papa did not take it. It is basically shredded mock duck sauteed in special thai spicy sauce. Tasted perfect with rice.
I like the spinach as it wasn't too oily and it tastes just right, not overcooked. Portion looks a little small though. Prices wise, per dish startes from 60BHT onwards. For steamboat items, charges at 20BHT onwards per plate.
This is the front view of the restaurant and the BIG poster below shows the food pictures. *DROOL*
My dad ordered this Donburi where it includes BBQ Prawns and Vegetables in special sauce.
The usual Inari which is normal as you can find it easily in Singapore. I did not really like the colour of the beancurd skin as it was not the usual colour I see.
The Sashimi was quite a disappointment as it was almost tasteless. I guess the best place for vegetarian Sashimi is still Taiwan....Im impressed with the display though.
Yakitori is made with vegetarian soy-based meat and carrots. Tasted very good, and I think Deli-veg might want to opt for this version instead.
The baked potato cheese is well-cooked as the cheese melts in your mouth.
This is the most special kind of sushi as the "skin" is made from Yam instead of your normal seaweed. Having made sushi before, I think this is a very difficult dish as you have to cook, mash the yam into paste before wrapping the ingredients in.
My Cousin ordered this dish and commented that the noodles was good. There are also Abalone slices on the sides.
My favourite was Tempura Prawns as they tasted perfect with the sauce. I do hope Sakae sushi has this someday!
Sunnietart ordered the Miso Udon and is still craving for it today!
There is also another dish which is very good - the stir fry mixed veg with tung hun. I ordered this plate as I was still craving for more mushroom stem too! heh!
I'm normally not a fan of Tom Yum. But since we are in the sunny City of Thailand, it is a must to try! There is Tom Yum Soup or Normal soup available from the vegetarian stall. You may also choose your type of noodle. My cousin ate the Pat Thai Glass noodle, while I tried the Thin Yellow Noodles. Soup wise: Spicy but quite saltish. I like it, as it does not have a smelly tom yum taste which you get in SG. It is more like 酸辣 (Spicy Sour) soup. Ingredients is a lot! Still, if you are scard of the spicyness, take the normal soup then~
In Thailand, the fried noodles is normally fried kway tiao, which is quite wierd. But anyway, it has loads of vegetables, straw mushrooms, beancurd and carrots in the dish that you can hardly see the flour. Perhaps thats why the people are small sized, they eat more vege than carbo!
Nova Kitchen is located on the 6th floor. It is a small open-styled cafe that offers a vegetarian menu. So we ordered 4 dishes and sharksfin soup with rice.
This is the poster on the wall showing all the vegetarian dishes. There were more in the menu. hee.
The Thai Fish Cake is very spicy, but I liked it. It doesn't taste my our chewy white fish cake, but more meaty kind of taste. The usage of Thai spice is a little too much that my father and sunnietart didn't really like. I like it with sweet plum sauce as it is really authentic and unique.
