Thai Wi-Rat

Thai Wi-Rat is a Thai/Laos restaurant in Chinatown which serves authentic food true to it's culture. You don't need to ask for Thai Hot here, just ask for normal hot and it will bring tears to your eyes. The spiciness slowly increases in intensity and doesn't hit you until about halfway through the meal. The medium is probably best if eating in large groups. Try hot if you're not too concerned about your appearance after dinner.

What I didn't like about Thai Wi-Rat was that the ordering was done individually at the front counter. We wanted to order extra dishes halfway through our meal but when we looked up at the counter, there was a long line of people so we decided against it.

COYO - Coconut Milk Yoghurt

When I came across Coyo from a colleague, it opened up a new healthy breakfast option for me. Finally I can enjoy yoghurt for breakfast. Not only is it naturally sweet, it is dairy free which keeps my stomach at bay in the morning. I know that most health fanatics are reaching for Greek yoghurt as it carries hardly any calories and keeps you full. But I find its sour taste makes it harder to enjoy as a regular yoghurt. I tend to only use Greek yoghurt in smoothies or cooking. I am also weary of 'greek style' yoghurt which uses gelatine as a thickener, rather than the traditional strained method. So Coyo is a great alternative for people like me.
