My Thai Thai: Harlan Goldstein's twist on modern Thai cuisine

MY THAI THAI
2/F, 8 Lyndhurst Terrace, Central, 2896 6018

Diners are spoilt for choice when it comes to tasty Thai cuisine in Hong Kong, whether they are holes-in-the-wall or upscale, good regional dishes are plentiful. The second restaurant opening by Harlan Goldstein this month, My Thai Thai, offers something different, modern Thai cuisine with a twist.

The setting is contemporary with the alluring artwork of fictional character Baw - a Thai woman who loves food and travel - taking centre stage and offering a story behind the place. We started with an excellent tom yam goong mae nam (HK$148 per person), which l would definitely go back for; the charcoal-grilled baby squid in Thai chilli and charred lime, garlic and seafood sauce (HK$110) was also a winner.

We were curious to try the red curry flavour seafood soufflé, with prawns, lump crab meat, lime, coconut and dill (HK$158) and the souffle clearly worked with the dish. We enjoyed the depth of flavours of the baked king prawn with glass noodles, pork belly, crispy garlic, soya jus served in a clay pot (HK$248).
