I'll just start by saying that this place is fantastic, and I have not had better Thai food in Hong Kong.If you don't like spicy food, you should probably go somewhere else. This is about as hot as HK food gets (though that's not saying all that much). Chili Fagara might have some hotter dishes. And of course there are alleys in Mong Kok...Anyway, I came here for the second time. Now they have their liquor license so no more byob, but you don't have to clear your drink bill every time you order

Anyway, I came here for the second time. Now they have their liquor license so no more byob, but you don't have to clear your drink bill every time you order (that was b/c your servers were buying drinks from 208 next door). They're open on the weekends and you can get the full a la carte menu for lunch. The menu is not particularly extensive.
The first dish that arrived was flash-fried squid with garlic, coriander, chilis, and shallots, "pla mauk yung" (or "pla muk yang" if you want to find a recipe on the internet). Pretty straightforward-- I love squid, but it's rarely tender enough to be enjoyable. This was nice and tender, and the sauce was flavorful. Thai-heat level 6/10. Great: A
There's nothing wrong with the sticky rice, but I have "not recommended" it. The reason is that I think jasmine rice works much better with the food and sops up the sauce better. I learned this just today.
[Note: we'd eaten some of the dish before I took the picture]About 5 minutes after finishing our squid, the server came over and asked if we were "all done" and whether she could take our plates. Apparently they lost the rest of our order, so we had to wait 10 more minutes for them to make it. Now, I have a lot of goodwill for this place and I believe this was an honest mistake. Everyone was appropriately apologetic, and they comped us all our drinks (2 sodas, 1 thai iced tea) and gave us a complementary dessert. I'm cool with this outcome, but ethics compels me to share this information with you.
The Moo Yung was a mistake on my part. I didn't notice that both the squid was "Yung" and the pork when I ordered, so both dishes were extremely similar, even though they came from different sections of the menu. That does not mean the pork wasn't great, it was. Nice and crispy but I thought maybe less spicy than the squid. 4/10 heat level. Rating: Excellent, A.
Morning glory: there's only one "vegetarian" dish that doesn't have meat in it on the menu (the rest I think you ask and they cook it without meat). That's the morning glory. We ordered it to have more vegetables. I found it a bit too fibrous, and a little greasy. I wish there were more veggies on the menu. alright, C [I forget, but I don't think this was spicy at all]
As I said, because they lost our order and we had to wait so long, we got a complementary papaya dessert thingy. I'm not a sweets fan, so I was glad to just munch some papaya with a mildly spicy dipping powder (heat level 2/10). I don't know if this is even on the menu.Last time I ate here we had totally different stuff and it was all good. I especially recommend the fish-sauce brined deep-fried chicken-- 5 separate individuals all thought it was amazing.
Quality food, decent spice levels, plus a little bit of something new. Excellent, A-
題外話/補充資料：
They were playing 90's electronica (think Moby) today for lunch. Some of the songs I had not heard for more than a decade.
