China White Thai-Chinese Restaurant On My Birthday



It's the time of the year again when I celebrate another year added to my life. It's a time when I get to break free from work and reward myself for working hard. My birthday is a national holiday in Thailand. I took the opportunity to fly back home to Bangkok and gather my family and friends who all had a day off of work  for a celebration.

I made a last minute decision to do it at the restaurant instead of hosting  a party at home. It would be less hassle for me. Besides, I really needed a good rest.  I chose a restaurant called China White at Central World. They serve hawker-style Thai-Chinese fusion dishes. I've been there numerous times. They have good food and the price is inexpensive. The service can be really bad during busy hours so I suggested we go there way  before lunch time.


What did we have? We ordered two fish dishes, chicken satay, egg salad and three kinds of stir-fried vegetable dishes.

One of my favorite dishes at China White is  this fried egg salad in a beautiful dressing - lime juice, fish sauce, garlic, chilis, cilantro. Yummy. It can be eaten as part of a meal or devour it on its own just like what I always do. I ate most of it.


The chicken satay was dry and lacking flavor. I was surprised with the peanut sauce though. It was pretty tasty.


We enjoyed these simple and delicious stir-fried dishes that day. Stir-fried cabbage(not in the picture) was everyone's favorite so we ordered two servings more.

The dishes might be less appealing to the kids so we ordered fried rice for them. They finished it all up. They only had a little bite of the fish but none of the veggies. Haha.


A friend and her son don't eat fish unless deep-fried. We ordered this especially for them. It was delicious and flaky but not tender.


The rest of us shared this steamed white snapper in soy sauce. I liked the ginger strips on top. It helped enhance the flavor of the dish.


The feast.


I was glad I decided to fly back to Bangkok for the occasion. It was a  well spent birthday, surrounded by people who matter most.
