Siam Smith Thai Noodle Bar (Palais Renaissance)

Red Ruby Coconut was delightfully delicious. The red rubies had a nice gel covering the crunchy water chestnuts. Served with creamy coconut ice cream that contained coconut bits, it was refreshing, creamy and satisfying.

Tom Yum Soup with Seafood was creamy and a tad bit fiery but manageable. It was spicy, sour, sweet and savoury that it felt incredibly warm and comforting having it on a rainy day.

The classic Thai Mango Salad had chunks of pomelo that burst with juice, crunchy nuts and a sweet, sour and spicy dressing. It was refreshing with just enough spicy kick to whet an appetite.

Convenient location and nice ambiance. Menu is very limited compared to Bangkok Jam or Thai Express. The food is haphazard. Rice bowl is not very good; we made the mistake of ordering beef (which is just the beef brisket from noodle soup) instead of traditional minced basil chicken, and it’s thick and not tender. The Tom yum soup is punchy. They forgot our added tripes; when this came, it was extremely chewy. The best item was chicken skin, but this is not really Thai, is it? At S$35 per pax, it’s a bit pricey for mediocre street food, so we will not go back unless forced.
