Welcome to Toa Payoh. Looking for Vegetarian places?

Whatever possessed me to try Thai at an Indian place? I guess it was because most things were not open and I almost ordered Thai elsewhere but the other stallholder was cranky. Anyways I thought it could be an interesting experiment. The seafood tom yum soup was actually quite tasty, but actually more suited for pescatarians wanting an ultra small meal… cos the main ingredient in this was fishcakes leh. Plus some onion , baby corn, 2 dried up prawns and one anorexic shriveled sotong ring….eh for $8 😅. To be fair, the pad thai was very generous with ingredients but tastes more like chinese thai kway teow 🤣. Guess I will stick to the bryani next time…. That’s huge and always good 👍

Ok the portion is always very big but I always want other savoury flavours in my thunder tea rice - and so I got the one with the chicken prawn roll.

They are halal or I think they are because their staff are Muslim, my Muslim friends can enjoy this very healthy dish too. However I have yet to find a chilli that I like that works well with the thunder tea rice. I want something like a crispy prawn chilli I think will go well with this. What do you think?

Healthy lunch after NDP. 🇸🇬💟 Drizzle orange sauce as suggested by lady at the stall. Spinach soup doesn't taste very strong and just right concentration. Crispy fish is the highlight. You can also request for no peanuts. Don't forget your chilli slice, always! ✌️😊

I don’t usually order noodles like these because they’re often a bit too sweet for me, but my parents are fans. They enjoyed this version quite a bit! There wasn’t much ingredients included, mostly vegetables.

Not the best, but not bad in hitting a decent and balanced sourish savory flavour, with crunches from the strips of cucumbers and pineapples. You can choose the type of noodles you prefer. Portion here was huge!

Pleasantly surprised by the number of mushrooms there was in here, even though we ordered the small portion. Taste wise was decent and the amaranth was fresh, but thought that it was slightly too bitter from the big amount of dang gui used.

Super addictive! These mushrooms were fried to a great crunch, not oily at all and coated in a sweet and slightly spicy cream sauce. Similar to the other dishes, we ordered the small portion and it was pretty substantial!

Didn’t leave with a good impression the first time we tried D’life, but happy that this time’s experience changed that.

Went straight for the Bak Kut Teh as I was craving a comforting soup, and this checked the box. It had a distinct herbal flavour and seasoned just nice with the right amount of savory and sweet. You get a mix of different mushrooms (like enoki and lion’s mane mushrooms), bean curd skin and tofu. This was the small portion, but pretty substantial I would say. Would get this again next time, and will try asking if it’s possible to add extra noodles in - could see this work as a main on its own too 😂

Super healthy and affordable leicha ($3.50) with generous toppings that include dried baby shrimp (hei bi) and preserved salted radish (chye poh). The soup was pretty good too, not too strong tasting. Added a Hakka tofu for $1.30

Taste wise is quite ok although I wish the cuts are thicker to provide more bite
