Food from Fairy Bird was outstanding. Haven’t had Chinese for quite sometime. Very traditional like the good old days. Very clean and fresh. Service was next to none.

The ambience of the restaurant was excellent, and the service was quite good. However, the food was somewhat underwhelming. While they offered complimentary prawn crackers, which was a nice touch, the coconut rice was overly sweet in comparison to the other dishes. I also ordered a prawn specialty that was recommended in the menu (I can't recall the exact name), but I found it overly salty and not particularly special.
The overall dining experience wasn't terrible, but it seemed like a matter of personal preference. The combination of sweet coconut rice with the salty and creamy prawn curry made for a less than satisfying meal. On the positive side, the Thai fried rice was delicious, and the Penang chicken curry had a distinct, rich flavor, though it was quite thick and heavy.
In summary, the restaurant offers an inviting atmosphere at an affordable price. Perhaps if I had chosen different dishes, my experience would have been more enjoyable.
