TIM TAI – An Asian Deli

This place opened up right beside my place of work (S&P Capital IQ) and is walking distance from it and also has another joint called cafe D’hide on the ground floor

Having been here 3 times already and not written a review about it .. BLASPHEMY ..!!

So here goes .. Few words ..
Almost the best Thai in Hyderabad, great ambiance, a little slow on the service side and a good set of mock-tails
SPRITZERS
Tim no 1 .. Not the recommended unless u like to experiment
Mandarin fest .. The most ordered I guess also the safest tastes okayish though a bit on the bland side .. Orders this on two different days ..
Ringer .. The best of the lot I guess .. Base flavor is a pineapple ..

SMOOTHIES (swirl drinks)
elder flower.. Awesome drink to try once .. Pomegranate and blueberry’s ..
GREEN TEAS
orange cinnamon .. My favorite since I am biased to both orange and cinnamon
Lemongrass tea- not that great..

STARTERS
CHICKEN SATAY .. with peanut sauce .. Tastes okay alone it self .. and with peanut sauce .. It kind of over powers the chicken
Chicken satay

Dumsums – They are amazing here . !! .. Tried the mixed one and the chicken and seafood dumsum.

MAIN COURSE .. A meal by itself
Green curry with chicken.. It reminded me of the proper authentic taste .. That I used to have back home ..with friends .. So a definite must have or the red one it that’s ur preference .. 🙂 ..with steam rice of course (included)

The pad thai
A mix of true thai food, That’s said to have as many flavors in a single dish a possible, With out over powering each other and this is a perfect example of it sweet and sour comes with a side of chili,peanuts and sugar each intended to enhance that flavor which you would like personally I keep varying it as there is a lot to get through if u have it even among two people.

Malay kway teow – Another signature dish with a equally authentic preparation done here beware though as the indian palate isn’t used to this varied a taste and you really need to keep a very open mind to try it out.

Malaysian Style home chicken a good blend on spices on this one.Can be combined with ginger capsicum fried rice(my suggestion)

DESSERTS

Chocolate chili ice cream, easily something I would recommend chocolate lovers try,you taste chocolate while its in ur mouth but as soon as you swallow it leaves a chilli after taste.

Water chestnut rubies with coconut milk .. Exactly what it sounds but it also has lychee as well.based on ur flavor prefences u will love it or hate it .. Personally coconut is what put me off.
Waterchesnut in coconut milk
Coconut Panna Cotta with blueberry campot ..
Contradictory to what I wrote above,even if u hate coconut try this out .. U might like it 🙂

Banana spring rolls with chocolate sauce
Steer clear of this .. As none of the friends I went with dint prefer this.
