This review is more of an attempt at mystery resolution for a previous one.
On a previous Grab Meal Review I'd had the item "Fried Pork Belly with Fish Sauce Side Dish", which cost more then the *on rice version. I had assumed, given the price difference, that the side dish version would be extra meat without any rice so that you can have it beside another item, but I was wrong. So it has seemed, the side dish version meant it came with sides, such as the salmon salad and fresh vegetables. Having now tried the normal version, I continue to be unsure of the meaning of the name.
This order came with the same leafy greens as last time – with an extra order in-fact which I can only assume comes from the "Clean Vegetables Set" addon for the Tilapia (I was unsure what kind of vegetables it would be) – but no salmon salad; it had the same separated sauces (to memory) and the same sesame substance. There was also still two orders of fish, but they were not separated, instead being stacked in the same container.
The only clear difference seems to be the pork came on a moderate amount of rice, which was the only difference I had already assumed would be the case.
Not being sure what comes with what makes me unable to clarify what order would give the most value for your Baht. I will say, though, that every item that I had at this restaurant so far is well priced and tastes good, so I can definitely recommend it even despite that.
