Folks Collective / Slurp

(INVITED TASTING) Nothing complements some tantalising Thai food better than an ice cold pint of Thai beer, and especially when the Thai cuisine is as outstanding as @folkscollective. Better yet, when you head down to Folks Collective for lunch on Tuesdays to Fridays from 11.30am to 3pm, you can crack an ice cold pint of @changbeersg new Cold Brew Lager for just five bucks with an order of a Weekday Lunch Set. Now that’s what I call a cracking deal!⠀

My dad & I unanimously agreed that the Moo Ping Set was the undoubted winner here. The grilled pork had the meaty, satisfying chew of a pork steak but the tenderness & moisture of a particularly remarkable meatball. The moo ping was tremendously tender, juicy, smoky & sufficiently seasoned, and dipping it into the sweet chili sauce made this an all star all rounder. The papaya salad on the side was crunchy & tangy, but I reckon they could’ve used papaya that was more ripe for more sweetness.⠀

The Folks Crispy Chicken were simply chicken tendies dusted with a tom yum powder, and it’s decent but nothing to shout about. However, the tom yum was worth a shout as it puts the yum in tom yum. It’s supremely sour with an overarching kick of spiciness, and the combo of sour & spicy open up the palate and whet your appetite like nothing else. And of course, there ain’t nothing better to wash these tasty Thai dishes down than a cold pint of Chang’s Cold Brew Lager.⠀

@changbeersg has always been an easy drinking beer, best suited to the sweltering heat of Thailand, and Chang has made it an even more appealing brew to beat the heat of Southeast Asia with the newly launched Chang Cold Brew Lager. The Cold Brew Lager can be best enjoyed on a hot afternoon on the beach, or paired with titillating Thai cuisine.⠀

We had pretty high hopes for the Prawn Cakes ($8++ for 4 pieces), and while the texture was great & it was deep fried to perfection, Folks Collective added too much flour to the prawn paste. Every bite had a faint but distinct taste of flour, and I simply couldn’t ignore it. A shame as everything else was perfect with the prawn cakes, but at least I got to wash it down with gulps of crisp, malty ice cold lager. Fortunately, the mains were positively marvellous, and made the trip to Aperia Mall worthwhile.⠀

Speaking of pairing with Thai food, this crisp, cold blonde was positively perfect with @folkscollective Crispy Pork Belly ($8++ for a small serve). The stunningly savoury & fantastically fatty pork belly is deep fried for that coveted crunchy crackling, and dipping each piece of pork into the feistily fiery chili dip imbued it with spice & extra umami. Perfect for washing down with a swig of Cold Brew Lager.⠀
