For our first
stop, SEN LEK THAI NOODLE.
Their menu
items are mainly rice and noodle dishes. We opted for two noodle dishes: the
soup-based Mix Special Thai Noodle and the Pad Thai.
The Mix Special
Thai ingredients’ servings were generous and you can add the extra cilantro and
green onions made up for the broth’s blandness.

Mixed Thai Noodles
The serving is
just perfect and the price is affordable given the dishes’ cheap prices.
