Welcome to Geylang. Looking for Thai places?

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.

Roslamul is one of those establishments that we have been passing by for quite a long while — situated along Guillemard Road, Roslamul had always constantly captured our attention whenever we pass by the row of shophouses that is being situated whilst we are making our way to Brawn & Brains Coffee’s outlet there previously. For those whom are unaware, Roslamul is situated along the row of shophouses where The Tuckshop - Assembly is also situated at; the space which Roslamul had taken up used to be where Gu Thai Noodle Café was located before its eventual move to Sims Avenue which it now operates as Gu Thai House. Roslamul’s shop facade is pretty interesting — much of the layout of the shophouse is left as it is during its days being Gu Thai Noodle Café; split into two parts, the space of Roslamul comprises of an outdoor area and an indoor area. The former comprises of a beverage bar that occupies the space from the entrance all the way to the glass door leading to the indoor seating area, while a small outdoor seating area that is being cooled via an electric fan is usually kept for walk-in crowds whom intend to dine-in. As one goes further into the establishment into the indoor dining hall, one would find quite a good number of dine-in seatings within the space; the walls being decked in a shade of bright red while dining tables and chairs featuring wooden accents takes up the space — the decor being more functional than for form, though some elements such as the tissue boxes on each table does carry an unmistakeable Thai look and feel anyway. The menu at Roslamul is split into the several categories — there are sections dedicated to Appetizer, On The Side (i.e. side dishes), Mains (which is further split into Rice Dishes and Noodles), Curry & Soup, Fish, Extra and Dessert. For beverages, Roslamul serves up a good variety of non-alcoholic drinks ranging from various iced milk teas to Lemongrass juice and canned drinks; just to name a few. Alcoholic beverages at Roslamul includes that of Chang Beer and Leo Beer.

Whilst Roslamul had been one of the places serving Thai cuisine which we have long wanted to visit, one of the major reasons why we had decided to make the visit to Roslamul was for the Chiangmai Noodles — a dish that had seen recent popularity in Singapore after it was discovered that there is a stall serving the same in a coffeeshop stall situated at Ang Mo Kio. Despite being a dish that had started to become more commonplace with more indie Thai establishments around the island, the dish is still relatively difficult to find nonetheless during the time of writing. For those whom are unaware of what the Chiangmai Noodles is, it is essentially also named as the Khao Soi; a curry noodle dish that originated from northern Thailand. It is not being described on the menu about what comes with the Chiangmai Noodles at Roslamul, but our observation of the dish includes elements such as chicken thigh, yellow noodles, deep fried noodles, yellow noodles that are akin to that of a thicker version of Mee Pok, shallots and spring onions. The Chiangmai Noodles also comes with other condiments being served on the side — this includes a chilli that comes in the style of Lao Gan Ma chilli, onions, preserved vegetables (which looks like Teochew-style Mui Choy), beansprouts and a wedge of lime. On first look, there really isn’t much curry gravy in the Chiangmai Noodles here and this is for good reason; the curry is actually really thick with its rather gloopy consistency — the curry itself tasting rather close to that of Massaman Curry but also is a little more spicy, whilst still distinctively sweet and rich from the inclusion of coconut milk. This meant that any more gravy would have caused the dish to become quite jelak, considering the heaviness of the broth in terms of flavour and consistency. The broad and flat noodles here are actually thicker than the Mee Pok we are used to; came with a chewy texture though does also carries a light hint of lye towards the finish — the crispy noodles providing a bit of crunch for a variance of textures. Meanwhile, the meat of the chicken thigh was reasonably tender; absorbed much of the goodness of the curry for flavour as well.

We did find ourselves over-ordering at Roslamul; visiting Roslamul with just one other pax, we had order two sides and two mains — in part due to us being a little over-ambitious considering the variety of dishes which we wanted to try, while portion sizes are on the larger side here, thus resulting in us finding difficulty in finishing up whatever we had ordered. The Deep Fried Mince Pork Spicy Salad was a dish that we did not recall having come across in other establishments before (perhaps we are also not paying much attention to the salad section of the menu usually); an item that is listed as part of the Salad section of the menu, this featured deep-fried minced pork clusters that is seemingly stir-fried with garlic before being deep-fried, served with kaffir lime leaves and mint leaves with a good selection of vegetables on the side. This was especially delightful to have, though the portion size is pretty generous for this dish as well — picking up a little bit of everything and wrapping them up in the leafy greens, it delivers that savoury crunch that is at the same time refreshing to have; something which would have paired well with some beer on the side as a bar bite. Another dish that we were recommended by the wait staff was the Deep Fried Pork Belly with Fish Sauce; the item features melt-in-the-mouth chunks of pork belly that is absolutely tender and juicy — all encased in a crisp and light golden brown batter that holds up the texture well even when left on the table for some time. Service at Roslamul is pretty stellar considering the type of establishment it is; the wait staff is especially helpful and friendly — also pretty well-versed in English, and went beyond expectations to make their guests feel welcomed and at ease. Given the overall experience from the food to its service, Roslamul is most certainly one of our favourite Thai establishments alongside names like Baan Chadar Thai Cuisine and Nummun Thai Kitchen to visit; a spot that we would be returning for more!

Googled before heading down and read that the MUST order here is the Prawn Cake ($10 for 4 pieces)! And my my, it was such a good recommendation! The prawn cake here are very special, and different from all the other prawn cakes I have ever eaten! What is so special is that their prawn cakes have added LONG BEANS to it! I also spotted some Thai Lime Leaves in the prawn cake as well! Because of these unique ingredient addition, the prawn cake was crunchy, juicy, and had citrusy taste! Best paired with the sweet thai chilli sauce.

For mains, we got the basil pork rice ($8) and Fried Glass Noodle ($8). The basil pork rice was not super spicy, but I thought it could do better with more sauce. The glass noodle had a different taste as well, and it was less oily. Prawns used in the glass noodle was very fresh!

Check them out at 512 Geylang Road, Lor 28 Geylang, 389468 !

This Thai restaurant served wide range of Thai cuisine from main dishes, boat noodles and grill menu.

Of course if you not looking for something big, you can go for the individual portion here as well. Their Thai Basil Minced Pork Rice served in pretty decent portion of minced pork. A bit dry but is fine, and it still remain the spicy kick I want.

Went to Moo Moo Mookata last weekend and ordered their set for 2 with a few add ons! Total about $15-$20/pax depending on how much you order but food and chilli sauces was okay😇

Overall ratings 7/10! I prefer Siam Square/Golden Mile but this is pretty decent too😄

Had an impressive authentic Thai meal at Ros Lamul and I’m already making plans to return to try more dishes!

If you’re craving for ganjang gejang but don’t want to make a hole in your pocket, this is a really good alternative 😂 Doused in an appetising spicy sauce, the raw crabs were fleshy, very fresh and easy to make your way through. If I had more stomach space, I’d be getting more rice to pair with the sauce heh.

Got to be careful with the spice level though, it looks quite harmless, but the spice is the kind that gradually grows at the back. Super shiok (!!), but if you’re not a huge fan of spice, you can request for them to tone it down a notch. They also do the raw prawns here.

Thai Food from Gu Thai House!

Thai Basil Minced Pork Rice ($7.95): My all time favourite dish to get when ordering thai food! This was slightly spicy. Generous portions of minced meat compared to rice portion, and love that runny egg yolk!

Phad Thai Noodles ($8.70): I was surprised that the phad thai noodles still held up well even after almost 30minutes when it was packed! There were 4 prawns given, with a few pieces of taukwa!

Thai Tom Yum Seafood Fried Rice ($9.70): The rice was weirdly quite hard! Felt as if it was scooped up from the bottom of the rice tray. It was kinda sticky hard, when I thought fried rice should be fluffy. This tom yum seafood fried rice was also different from the usual I had as there was evidently tom yum sauce at the left corner of the packet! Usually a tom yum seafood fried rice wouldnt have any trace of tom yum sauce/soup. With that said, lots of seafood ingredients in this - there were prawns, squid, and fishballs (an usual ingredient though haha)

Prices listed above are based on grabfood prices, as I was trying to utilise a $20 grabfood voucher I had! If you are buying directly from the shop, the prices should be slightly cheaper!

Their crabmeat curry with rice noodle is a must try! We also had their chicken wrap pandan leave and moobin. Everything was delicious and authentic, will definitely go back again!

Very quiet on a weekday evening. Ordered their tomyum soup, phad thai and fried pork. Did not enjoy phad thai as much as I personally prefer it with tinge of sweetness, whereas this is toward savoury. Tomyum soup is up to expectation and fried pork was the star dish. Portion size- very generous.

Pretty intense stuff, the sweetness and the heat was apparent but not over the top. Could do w a tad more body and the seafood was average(squid was overcooked esp)

I don't eat this v often but this one was quite well balanced, not overly sour

Not rlly a big fan of this, the texture wasn't the best after takeaway and it absorbs the oil. I doubt it's stellar even at its best but probably passable. There were ppl who enjoyed it tremendously though
