Craving for thai food definitely fulfilled here at Santhai.
Love the ambience of the place, green pastel corner alongside with tropical vibes which include flower, and colorful paint on the wall.
Waitress are knowledgeable about the dish, and quick services As well. I visit during lunch time on weekdays and it's not crowded, in fact only around 2-3 seatings that were filled.
For the dish :
I ordered the soft shell crab red curry (IDR 95k), soft shell crab served with scrambled squishy egg cooked with tomato paste taste creamy from the egg and savory sweet from the tomato paste, there is also veggies and big chunk of green chili. I love a dish that has a sweet kinda taste in this is delicious for me, they also served with kinda like sour sauce which complement the dish very well. It has more egg than the crab itself, and truthfully small portion for the soft shell crab.
Tom yum seafood (IDR 75k) , served with clay pot kinda thing with fire pot to keep it warm. Not really my fav kind of tom yum, since it has more coconut milk taste and kinda heavy, still has it sourness of tom yum, but overpowered my the creamy taste instead. The portion are small, only for one person, consist of 1 big prawn, 2 cuts of squid and a couple of cuts of fish.
Seafood Pad thai glass noodles (IDR 75k) , my fav dish so far here, I love glass noodles and they seasoned it perfectly, paired with cuts of onion chilli and crush peanut, taste savory sour, well balance taste, perfect no complaint from this dish, very refreshing.
I ordered the beans shrimp paste (65k) it was okay, nothing special, in fact kinda too salty for me, should've just ordered the chicken pandan instead.
Try the mango sticky rice (IDR45k)
Actually this is my first time eating a mango sticky rice and I dont have a comparison, but for me, the coconut cream taste sweet and delicious, mango is sweet, and not really a fan for sticky rice but it was okay. I dont quiet like this kind of heavy dessert for me.
Overall, I might came back to try their other dishes, especially the recommend ones.
Price wise okay, not affordable but not expensive, well for some menu it might be overprice especially the bean and tom yum seafood considering the portion.
