I was invited a couple of days ago to review “UBON” a new Thai bistro located in Salhiya.I was very apprehensive to if I would like it or not. I never tried Thai cusine,mostly Japanese and Chinese. So I had no idea what was in store for me
.. Anyway we arrived to UBON at 8PM.It was quite crowded Mashalah with a very simple/modern design with paper elephants hanging from the lighting



With so many options to choose from we had the waiter recommend their best sellers!
Here’s what we got …
My Lemon juice

Green Papaya Salad – green papaya mixed with carrots and spring beans with a VERY spicy Thai sauce
!Even though it was very spicy, every bit you took was full with different flavors:) and the texture was perfect! (8/10)

Ubon Jumbo Prawns- Stir fried jumbo prawns topped with air dried garlic
Each prawn was moist and full of falvour.The sauce was a bit sweet but definitely made it taste better
(7/10)

Satay Sticks – Chicken and beef served with Ubon’s peanut sauce
This was one of my favorite dishes! The chicken/beef was tender with a hint of salt and the sauce was rich and sweet
I highly recommend this dish! (10/10)

Lemon garlic shrimps – stir fried shrimps with chopped mushrooms and a very sour/sweet lemon garlic sauce
it’s basically like shrimp popcorn but was soaked with the sauce it had. It’s defiantly one of my favorite comfort foods
I loved the Thai twist it had. (9/10)

Chickem Greem Curry -It’s basically a stew of green chili,herbs,spices and sweet basil with coconut cream.It came with a side of rice
I’m not a big fan of rice but I wanted to give it a try.The curry had so many flavors combined that it was hard to distinguish one from the other
Even though it wasn’t a favorite of mine, my friend Hussain thought it tasted AMAZING ( he’s a rice lover! ) (7/10)

And finally for dessert
my PASSIOn,my LOVE
PUMPKIN CAKE! I wish they had more dessert options. Other dishes seemed new and I didn’t want to risk it
you’re always safe with a pumpkin cake
