Hong Kong's Southeast Asian restaurants are dotted with stars in the city's streets and alleys, serving as mass consumption restaurants. Southeast Asian restaurants can be found in almost every restaurant business district, with Thai restaurants accounting for half of the country. Knutsford Terrace is a well-known bar street in the Tsim Sha Tsui area, which is also lined with restaurants. And one of the Thai restaurants called Tai Yao Yao, which has so many popular awards that it is plastered all over the glass doors, when it comes to the best places to eat Thai food in the city, Thai Yao Yao must be on the list.

Famous for its authentic taste, Thai Yao Yao focuses on the northeast and south of Thailand, and the kitchen team is all Thai chefs, and most of the ingredients and spices used are imported from Thailand. The restaurant's signature dish is the seasonal seafood plate, which is divided into two types: cold and hot, with the hot dish being the foundation of the tom yum skill. There are five to six kinds of seafood ingredients such as prawns, squid, scallops, and flower nails, as well as side dishes such as hot spring eggs and enoki mushrooms. In addition, the restaurant has an open seafood bar, where diners can go to the seafood bar to choose seafood such as meat crab, prawns, squid, tiger prawns, jumbo tiger prawns, and jumbo scallops, and then choose Thai, steaming and other cooking techniques for the kitchen, which greatly satisfies the taste choices of seafood control.

In addition to seafood, the restaurant's use of curry is perfect, with a variety of intricate spices to restore authentic Thai flavors. There are mainly two categories of yellow and green curry, among which the green curry slippery chicken fillet has a salty and heavy taste, the coconut milk base has a long taste, the chicken fillet meat is smooth and tender, and it is equipped with vegetarian dishes such as beans and small tomatoes to relieve greasy, and it is additionally equipped with a hard and solid wrap, which is better to dip in curry and eat the flavor. In addition, there are also Mishavon curry beef rib tenderloin, yellow curry pineapple shrimp balls, and chicken fillet curry, all of which capture the taste buds of diners with their rich flavors. The restaurant's tom yum is on the heavy side, with a rich but non-conflicting mix of spices such as lemongrass, mint leaves, and red peppers, as well as shrimp and straw mushrooms that add umami, and a light but spicy soup base. Unlike other Thai restaurants that offer a wide variety of sweets, there are only three desserts available: sticky rice with mango and coconut milk, coconut sago cake and coconut cake, which can be mixed. The coconut milk sago cake is soft and slightly greasy. Compared with the coconut chips in the coconut cake, the coconut chips are sweet and have a cool taste, which is more suitable for relieving greasy and refreshing mouths after using rich authentic Thai dishes.

There is also a special seafood barbecue bar in Tai Yao, with a complete range of seafood ingredients such as roasted abalone, roasted meat crab, and roasted original fresh squid. In addition, there are classic meat dishes such as roasted American beef short ribs, roasted beef ribs, roasted chicken wings, and roasted skewers with turkey kidneys, and can be served with more than a dozen sauces such as Thai mixed sauce, pork knuckle sauce, Thai vinegar, and hoisin sauce, which can be described as full of sincerity. The restaurant also has a meat-free menu, and vegetarian dishes such as Thai fresh fruit salad, green curry mixed vegetables, green papaya salad, and exploding lemongrass tofu also have authentic Thai flavors, and the ingredients are not ambiguous.

The award-winning Taiyaki Haruka is hidden on the 5th floor of 1 Knutsford Terrace, and despite the wide selection of restaurants in the surrounding area, it can't stop the city's diners from favoring the Taiyaki Haruka. Compared to the crowded shops of most Thai restaurants, the seats in Thai Yao Yao are spacious and comfortable, and although there is no complicated decoration, you can still see pottery statues and murals full of Thai style. The restaurant is very popular, because of the authentic taste, has won the love of many Thai diners, in addition to many familiar repeat customers, it is best to book a table a day in advance for a large number of meals, otherwise the meal will have to wait for a table. The owner of the restaurant is enthusiastic and generous, and the leader of the food will be personally recommended for diners, although the other waiters are not very proactive, but they are also qualified in the level of public restaurants in Hong Kong.

It is worth noting that, except for snack bars, tea restaurants and fast food restaurants, most of the mid-range and above restaurants in Hong Kong have a "plus one service charge" in their menus, that is, a 10% service charge is charged. If you think the waiter service is superb, you can give a cash tip according to your heart, and the guests will usually give a few dollars or coins as a tip to the waiter. In addition, there is a "tea room" at checkout, which is a tea table fee (sometimes accompanied by a tapas or two). Finally, there is an unwritten rule in the Hong Kong restaurant industry that guests are not allowed to bring their own alcohol, which is an international practice in the international hotel industry. The above are the rules of the industry and will not be repeated below.
