The Pad See Ew Moo from Thai Gold Food at Bencoolen delivers a delightful experience with its wok-fired flat rice noodles perfectly coated in soy sauce.
Each bite is savoury, featuring tender slices of pork and a generous portion of fresh vegetables, making it both satisfying and flavourful.
Pad See Ew or Thai stir fried soy sauce noodles is an extremely popular Thai street food dish. Whereas pad thai has a sweet and nutty flavour, pad see ew is meant to be salty and packed full of wok hei.
Thai God's rendition of this dish is less salty than our versions. However, it makes up for this with a strong and bold wokhei flavour. Interestingly, they seem to use slightly larger pieces of flat rice noodles or kway teow which maximises the surface area for charring.
The portion is on the small side but considering the price and location, I would consider as a great option for a quick and light lunch or dinner!
Mention Sunshine Plaza and most people would think of Victor's Kitchen and their liushabaos. For those in the know though, Sunshine Plaza is actually a little food enclave with a eclectic collection of eateries.
Thai Gold Food has been around for quite some time and attracts a dedicated clientale with good affordable Thai food in the city area.
Their green curry chicken was decent. The green curry was creamy and aromatic and it came with loads of green. I did wish though that they used more substantial chunks of chicken rather than the scrappy bits.
Gobbler’s response to this: Nah, don’t bother. Is priced affordably but only maybe if you are nearby and are craving for Thai food. The green curry fried rice was wet and lumpy :( The steamed fish with chilli and lime is fresh but not that any of the dishes we tried blew us away.
Never heard of Thai Beancurd Soup and we decided to try it and find out what it is! It looked pretty unappetizing to be honest and it's taste was rather meh. Furthermore, we felt that it was rather overpriced, because the soup contained tofu, pork, cabbage and carrots but cost upward of $6!
Nonetheless, it is the only non-spicy soup on the menu and if you are with friends who cannot tahan tomyum soup, this might be an option to consider!
Fried vermicelli with chicken.
We have always been eating pad Thai and decided to try something else this time! This feels like a healthier version of pad Thai that's less heavy on the palate but is good nonetheless! The serving size is huge for $6, we think that it's enough for 2 small eaters. Recommend this place for a convenient and affordable Thai food fix!
We popped by Thai Gold Food by chance and we decided to stop by for dinner, as we recalled how this place used to be really crowded at dinnertimes before the COVID pandemic. Sadly, the green curry fried rice was rather underwhelming, as the rice was overly wet and a little too soggy. Furthermore, the restaurant used too much coconut milk relative to green curry, and the taste of coconut milk dominated the dish.
Nonetheless, dining here is pretty friendly for your wallet as the dish costs only $6 nett!! 😁 However, we would probably try their other fried rice items, such as the tomyum fried rice, as we have seen numerous positive reviews about those.
Flavourful & tasty tom yum fried rice, I love the aroma and texture. For an extra kick, you can add chilli padi soy sauce. My Thai food craving fulfilled here ✌🏼
I was craving for fried rice, and this place suddenly came into mind. Visited it before long time ago and the taste still memorable.
Chicken Fried rice $5, I like the rice grain & how they cooked the rice. Definitely you can taste the MSG which gives this dish a punch of umami flavour. Next time, I plan to order their Tom Yum fried rice as it looks quite appetising when the waiter served it to another table.
The service is quite friendly, she asked me if I want warm or cold water as free complimentary.
Walking out from the shop with only $5 bill. What a satisfying meal.
Best place for authentic and affordable Thai food! Most of the items are great but heavy on seasoning. Tom Yum Soup is a winner here, their Pad Thai is also fried really well!

Gritty in an authentic Thai way, but like the rest of the food here, fine but not memorable.
The Pad Thai ($6), Pineapple Fried Rice ($6) and Tom Yum Talay ($10) have a very homely taste and you tell that they used fresh ingredients. A slight blooper was that my Pad Thai was a tad too soggy! Pair it with Thai Milk Tea ($1.80) for the complete Thai food experience!
I ordered:
Prawn Cake: 4 pcs for $10
Pork with Basil leaves: $10
Seafood Tomyam: $10
Kangkong with chili and garlic: $8 (claimed chili but no chili at all)
Thai Milk Tea: $1.8
Everything was on point except that the rice was kinda wet, suitable for my ah ma. Normally I wont have milk tea with main course but since it’s only $1.8, I decided to give it a try. Turning out it’s not up to my liking, which is a little diluted. Besides, I have a feeling they follow healthy concept, seasoning is not as savoury as at other Thai restaurants.
all the food here is not very spicy but still delicious. do try! oh only their cha yen (thai milk tea) wasnt up to expectation haha😅 #jxeatsrecommend
The basil is strong in this one for the Thai Basil Chicken Rice and I really like it. The minced Chicken also taste very balanced. It is not dry and not too salty. A simple yet satisfying meal!
The pandan chicken was flavourful and tender. The sambal was well done, quite springy and the right amount of spiciness.
