The fried ice cream is a must try crispy with a savoury crust yet still maintains the icy texture of ice cream, complimented by the caramel sauce.

We went to Holy Basil at Shark hotel. this place offered Laos/ Thai food.<br/ <br/ We ordered fishs, curry, vegie and dessert. we loved the foods. we came here often. <br/ <br/ 1.Fresh crispy snapper mango salad:<br/ fried big snapper and combined green apple salad instead of mango with dressing holy basil sauce. I asked put separately for fish and salad. I am still on my vegie months. well combined for fish and salad so crispy but the amount of fish getting lesser compared last time when we visited there.<br/ <br/ 2. Red curry: Beef combined spicy chili paste with garlic infused coconut milk, sweet basil and bean. the taste so nice and well presented.<br/ <br/ 3.Garlic and peppercorn: combined seasonal vegie with brocolli, mushroom, garlic and peppercorn sauce. however, there is no snow peas and the staff is not mentioned it but I can see they put snake beans instead of snow peas.<br/ <br/ 4.Holy Basil fried Ice cream: hot weather sometimes we need something cold so we ordered fried Ice cream wrapped by fried pastry outside and inside ice cream with caramel sauce, crunchy coconut and strawberry. we loved it but the caramel sauce is too sweet.<br/ <br/ atmosphere in holy basil nice and it will be great if the staff can be nice and smile when they are serving.
