Thai Food Faves at FlowerBoy Stall #3 at the Grid Food Market Powerplant Mall
I’ve been a fan of Eat Low Brow group of restaurants ever since I tried Bad Bird because they truly deliver when it comes to taste and flavor. And for so long, I’ve been wanting to try their Flowerboy because a good Thai cuisine serving place is hard to come by.
Fortunately, a friend of mine happen to go to Rockwell Powerplant Mall and we had a late lunch at The Grid Food Hall. Inside the food hall we found Stall No. 3 aka Flowerboy which serves non-traditional Thai food with local influences.
We decided to try the following:
Chicken Pad Thai - savory, rich, only mildly sweet, smoky and full of umami – just the way I like it!
Bagoong Fried Rice - steamed rice topped with egg and Flowerboy’s very own bagoong, made with shrimp paste, rendered pork fat, crispy ham, and tamarind.
Fried Squid Platter - large squid rings dipped into Jaew Sauce and served with prawn crackers. I don’t know which one is the Jaew Sauce, I’m assuming it’s the green one (cuz the other one is vinegar) and it tasted so good!
Mango Sticky Rice - classic Thai dessert made of fresh mango, coconut sticky rice topped with coconut flakes. I love love their toasted coconut flakes and the coconut milk cream (which I thought was ice cream at first). I was impressed and this is the first time I encountered a mango sticky rice served like this.
Thai Iced Milk Tea - condensed milk + Thailand's most popular iced tea, Chatramue. My favorite kind of milk tea among all the milk teas I’ve ever tried!
As always, EatLowBrow did not disappoint, all the dishes were good! Definitely gonna eat there again if I find myself back in Rockwell. Also because I heard their crab omellete is good, I want to try that one next time!
