Soi Thai Kitchen (Tampines)

Without a doubt a must order, the grilled pork neck is magnificently smoky and succulent, streaked with melt-in-your-mouth fat and with bits of crispy char on its browned skin. This was utterly delicious and worthy of repeat ordering.

A little too sweet and not quite spicy enough for me, however the freshness and crunch of it more than made up for the qualities it lacked. Plenty of red onion and dried shrimp added bags of flavour. This is still a decent rendition.

Perhaps the weakest dish I've had amongst the numerous ones I've tried here, the pineapple rice was on the bland side and contained too little of the fruit. It was rather plain overall even with the addition of the meat floss.

With hints of smoke, splashes of garlic and hits of sweet spiciness, the kang kong hit all the right notes. The portion could have been a wee bit larger for the price though.

This is my go to for Thai food in Tampines. It's hardly exceptional, but always solid, dependable and tailored very much to local tastes.

Their green curry is rich and creamy, packing just enough heat and chockful of tender chicken and half-spheres of baby eggplant. The fragrance of Thai basil and chilli gives it a wonderfully inviting aroma, making it an excellent accompaniment with plain rice.

delicious but a bit pricey for a non air-conditioned restaurant. pork cheek is really good.
