BEST Thai in Hong Kong

Every Thanksgiving break, I like to go home for a short vacation to see my family & friends, annoy my pet hamster, and EAT. Before coming back to the States, my family asked me where I wanted to have a decent dinner at. Without hesitating, I chose Mango Tree. 

The setting of Mango tree adds a modern twist to Thai restaurants' typical interior designs. The dangly lights were especially catchy to me. 

Mixed Satay with Chicken, Pork & Beef

Kale with Salted Fish

After having boarding school food for an extended period of time, I am always ecstatic to see actually cooked vegetables. 

Phad Thai

One of my favorites at Mango Tree- just look at how delicately made that piece of egg is! I have tasted a lot of Phad Thai before, and none of them beat this. 

Curry River Prawns

I warn you- this light yellow curry with egg, Thai celery and onions does not taste like normal curry at all. In fact, it does not taste like curry, but as a person who hates spicy food, this is perfect for me. The crab version of this curry is one of Mango Tree's signature dishes. Because our family does not want to completely lose our etiquette and battle against the crabs like barbarians, we decided to go with the river prawns, which is just as good. Out of the many people who tried this dish, I have never heard a single one of them not yearn to drink the whole bowl of curry (oops... double negative). 

Sago Pudding

Sticky Rice with Mango

One of their signature dishes as well. Yes, I hate mango and therefore, I don't eat mango; but I do fight for the biggest slice of coconut cream covered sticky rice.

Water Chestnut in Coconut Cream

A refreshing dessert- the chewy texture of the yellow jackfruits and the bouncy texture of the red water chestnuts contrast in the iced coconut cream.

No pressure, but this restaurant is a must-go-to.
