We had dinner at The Place 168, which was recommended by a food blogger. We ordered the seafood fried rice, Tom Yum Goong, and deep-fried fish with sweet sauce. The Tom Yum Goong had a good, well-balanced flavor, but it didn’t fully meet my expectations. It looked like the dish was advertised with more prawns than what was actually served, and I had to fish around the bowl to find them. Unfortunately, the prawns were also slightly overcooked. The seafood fried rice was decent—nothing outstanding, but enjoyable enough. The deep-fried fish topped with sweet sauce was good, with crispy texture and pleasant flavor, though it wasn’t memorable enough for me to order again on a return visit. One highlight of the meal was the iced green tea, which had a distinctive Thai flavor that I really liked. Overall, the food was solid but not exceptional. Taken altogether, I’d give The Place 168 a 4-star rating.
