ahan Thai

Got the Bua Lai - Sai Mai Bingsu without knowing what it was, and turns out it's bingsu ice topped generously with cotton candy and a mound of mochi-like balls. Visually quite interesting, but the candy floss was altogether just cloyingly sweet. Also, there was too little shaved ice. Very much regretted this and should've just gone with the usual bingsu. Though, the ambience was quiet and cold, many customers were doing work at the other tables.

Overall, food was expensive and not value for money; would not return. Service-wise, started off okay but halfway through our meal it seemed like there was some technical error on their web ordering platform which led to the servers walking around confusedly with dishes trying to find the table that ordered them. I was also told not to scan other tables' QR codes or use the QR code from a previous visit when served my drink. Amusing!

Matchsticks WIngs ($11.90 for 10pcs) - Crispy and delicious, and the fried garlic adorning the plate also went so well with the chicken. Only thing is, it's really just 5 chicken wings...

Cigar-style Popiah w/ Wings ($9.90 for 10pcs) - Expected more from this but the prawn paste filling was pretty tasteless.

Tomyum Soup ($16.90 for chicken) - Soup was really damn good, wish there was more! But almost a third of the volume was taken up by the herbs.

Crispy Tamarind Fish ($39.90) - Amazing presentation, fish fillets were also beautifully crisp and delicious, especially with the sweet-tangy tamarind sauce. The star of the dinner.

Claypot Prawn Glass Noodles ($26.90) - We wowed at the 4 huge prawns atop the dish, but ultimately let down by the glass noodles. Zero notes of garlic, pepper, or prawns from the noodles.

Pad Thai ($14.90) - Pretty meh, had the sweet tomato-ish taste that you would get from those stores filled with Western tourists...

Kai Lan w/ Oyster Sauce ($12.90) - Average.

Red Ruby ($9.90) - Refreshing and good. Decent amount of red rubies and coconut shreds. Lots of ice though.

Thai Green Milk Tea ($4.50) - Tasted more milk than tea. Portion was also soooo little, I could have finished the entire glass in two gulps.

Steamed Coconut Pudding (u.p. $9.90 for 5 pcs) - they were having a promo where if you left a review, the table could receive one complimentary set but didn't state how many. We were a table of 5, I showed them a 4-star review, and they gave 4 puddings. Amusing!

Came by for dinner/supper at about 10+ and food was served in a blink of an eye by the friendly staff. We had the: Omelette ($10), Kai Lan w/ Garlic ($8), Creamy Tom Yum ($15), Fried Rice ($8), Pad thai ($8), Basil Pork w/ Rice ($8). Maybe we were just ravenous from hunger, but everything tasted delicious and we wolfed everything down. My only complaints would be that the basil pork was kind of dry and didn't taste of the basil at all, and that the omelette was pretty bland and not crispy.

Crabmeat Fried Rice ($7) - nice but this was much better eaten there
Basil Minced Pork w/ Rice ($7 +$1 for egg) - delicious but pretty spicy
Prawn Phad Thai ($7) - decent
Thai Suki Soup ($7) - was weirdly sweet, don't see this as a soup, but more of a gravy for the noodles
Baby Kailan Roast Pork ($12) - delicious but portion was pretty small

Had the Signature Tom Yum Seafood Red Soup ($8.90) which checked all the boxes of a good Tomyum - spicy, tangy, flavourful, and decently packed with seafood. The Thai Basil Leaf Minced Chicken ($7.90) was also addictively delicious. We then completed our meal with the Kailan w/ Salted Fish ($8.90). Overall, with the Basil Chicken free from the Burpple deal, this was am affordable hearty and tasty meal.

Visited their new outlet at Kitchener Road, just a stone's throw away from City Square Mall. Smaller space, but service was not too slow and we were served out food pretty quick.

Pork Leg Rice ($7) - tender and fatty slices of pork leg sat atop rice drenched with the braising sauce. Flavourful on its own but pairs perfectly with the chilli. Skin still has some rough hair on it.
Crabmeat Fried Rice ($7) - Unanimous favourite. Not your usual wokhey zichar fried rice, but it was so flavourful with the shredded crab meat. Unforgettable.
Sambal Kailan ($12) - Pretty expensive for this portion size but nonetheless this was delicious, albeit slightly too spicy for our liking.
Clear Tom Yum ($12) - Chock full of seafood, this packed a punch so beware. Perfect for cold rainy nights.

Great variety of Thai dishes and the ones we had were delicious. Recommend the Tom Yum Seafood, Basil Pork, and the Oyster Sauce Kailan was great too. Expect a long queue and a longer wait tim for the food.

This is close to becoming our go-to after-work dinner joint when we have Thai cravings. Basil Pork Rice ($5.50) was perfectly executed (although ask for less chilli if you can't take spicy) and the Claypot Prawn Tanghoon ($12.80) was so aromatic and rich.

Chanced upon this restaurant while wandering around Clarke Quay Central and the food was inexpensive so why not! Lo and behold, this place was the best of ALL worlds - central location, air conditioner, great prices, and DELICIOUS food!! Amy new fave go to when I'm in the area for sure 😊

Seafood Omelette ($6.50) came cracklingly crisp and transported me back to Thailand again. Nowhere else in Sg have I found Thai Omelette so authentic and better yet was full of squid rings and shrimp. The Phad Kimao Mama and Phad Thai Seafood (both $6) also hit the spot too. Last of all, for just $3 you get a huge bowl of Red Ruby and it was such a sweet end to this unexpectedly good meal.

Came back again (the previous review was mine a year ago lols...). Very very affordable and authentic Thai food in the neighbourhood but be prepared to wait for one out of the few tables. Tomyum seafood soup was hearty and delicious. Crab meat omelette had decent portions of crab meat inside. Pad Thai was average and Ngoh Hiang Balls were alright, just balls of paste. Also had the basil chicken rice and sambal french bean - both were good. Total came up to $40 with a Thai Green Milk Tea, how worth is that!

Decent rendition of phad thai but the portion was a little too small. Also had a cup of milk tea which was so expensive at $4.70

Had the Fuzzie Set comprising 2x Steelpot Vermicelli (selected), 2x Daddy Moo Ping, Mad for Mushrooms side, 2x Drinks, and 2x Ice Ruby. All for ~$40. WORTH!

Started off the meal with the starters of Moo Ping and Mushrooms. Moo Ping was delightfully marinated and juicy but the mushrooms became abit too much by the end.

Had the Premium Vannamei Prawns and Slipper Lobster vermicellis, which was chock full of flavour with notes of pork lard, garlic, and black pepper. Would recommend the prawn over the crayfish though.

The drinks and dessert rounded off the meal. The highlight was the addictive Steelpot Vermicelli and will definitely return to try the others.
