After weeks of plotting and planning we finally made it to Shiok for lunch. My partners-in-crime this time were Supreeth (SR) (who I was meeting for the first time) and Aarti (AC) (who’s probably a little tired of seeing me so often :-)
We settled into the comfy seats and attacked the food and drinks with great relish. We must have made quite an interesting sight - two hungry women wolfing down food like there's no tomorrow! SR was a little more polite. But the food was good. Or we were hungry. Or it might have been both. All I remember is stuffing me self to the gills.
We had Thai Drunken Noodles (aka Pad Kee Mow), a lovely shrimp dish, a really nice tasting rice. As you can see, I am not so good with names. To top it all, I had a green concoction called Madhu’s Illusion, which turned out to be more potent than I first thought.
Madhu's restaurant also has a compact lounge area next to the dining area where you can relax and have a drink but we decided not to venture there. I don’t think I would have made it out of the door for a long time, if I had.
We started at noon (we were the first eager ones in) and they finally had to shoo us out at 4 p.m. after we had stretched their hospitality to the limits.
BTW, Shiok (pronounced 'she-oak') is a Malaysian-Singaporean slang word roughly meaning damn good, heavenly or yummy. Yes, Shiok was shiokly!!
