Thai Gold Food (Sunshine Plaza)

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.

It was super crisp and fresh! Best ever by far for me!

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!
