Rainy weather comfort food โ๐
Open till 2.30am daily, this popular supper spot is a short walk from Kovan MRT. Here's what we tried!

Brewed with 15 different Thai spices, the clear pepper-based soup is served with curled up rolls of kway (broad sheets of rice noodles). Don't be fooled by its unassuming appearance because the broth sure packs a punch with its strong peppery flavour ๐ฅ
We ordered the signature version, which comes with thai fish sausage, lean meat, offals and deep-fried pork belly. For non-spicy eaters who still wish to try their sides, consider the plain rice option to go along!
Well-cleaned, the fried offals proved to be an addictive snack! Though prices have increased over the years, this is still a side dish that's worth adding on for ๐ท
We had an enjoyable meal at the Upper Serangoon outlet (they also had one at tampines, and Holland Village sadly those are not around anymore). Head over to enjoy a taste of Thai street food ๐น๐ญโจ

A short walk from Clementi MRT, this standalone shop sells a variety of dishes, including...

Opted for the creamy tom yum soup, with a strong coconut milk flavour. This comes with a good amount of ingredients (such as prawn, tioman fish, squid and shimeji mushroom). Wished there's straw mushrooms in this!

We visited on a weekday evening and saw a constant stream of customers. Heard that the basil pork rice is good and would try that when I revisit!
The tender pork cheeks was an unexpected find. Leans towards the fatty side and best enjoyed with the accompanying chilli๐ฅ
Despite being a relatively new addition to the neighbourhood, they have already attracted a steady crowd of patrons. The owner stressed that their dishes are Thai-inspired, so don't go expecting authentic Thai cuisine.

Recommended by the owner, these prawn cakes are handmade in-store. Each piece is deep fried till golden and comes as a substantial amount, with soft fillings ๐ฆ
Served with 4 prawns, this came in a portion that could easily feed 2 small eaters. The vermicelli soaked up the black pepper taste though if you prefer a heavier flavour, you'd probably want to pair this with the condiments provided! We ordered the small version ($14) but if you're sharing with bigger groups, try the large version ($18) instead.
Ended off our meal with this beautiful red and green ruby dessert. The chewy crunchy texture made this such an addictive treat! ๐
We also tried the thai milk tea & thai green tea here. The drinks are not as sweet as most other thai eateries, which is a huge plus for me ๐
A comforting bowl of soup, this came with a good amount of ingredients. Enjoyed the firm meatballs and the sweetness of the broth. Good for when you're feeling under the weather โ

Enjoy a signature main (regular) and 16oz beverage for only $7.90 on weekdays till 5.30pm. Simply present your student card!
For those who prefer something bold, try their tom yum noodles! The tom yum base leans towards a sour profile with some spicy notes. Ours came with succulent prawns, fish, sotong and straw mushrooms. Sadly, the sotong wasn't very fresh ๐
Tossed in special sauce and lard oil, this bowl of springy egg noodles is highly recommended by the owners. Comes with wanton, charsiew and a good amount of pork lard!
Heard that they launched a new truffle wanton mee too ๐ท
Since it was raining on our visit, we also got a bowl of noodles soup. Also available in dry version, though we felt the soup variation could use more spice ๐ฅต
Gave our feedback to the owners and hope they work on it!
This slow braised pork knuckle is one of their signatures! The pork knuckle soft and tender, with a good fat-to-meat ratio ๐
An affordable find in the heartlands!
