They serve one of the better tom yum soup that will put some of those restaurants in BKK to shame. I think the key is the right amount of spiciness with a smack of sourness just enough to titillate your taste buds. Do order the ground pork egg omelette if you happen to visit as I swear that I can eat this every single day. As well as the green curry chicken which is flavorful and definitely a must order however some of the other dishes such as the soft shell crab and Thai fish cake were quite average in my opinion and you can probably give it a miss. Have I mentioned that I am a crazy basil pork rice fanatic? If not then prepare to see a lot of basil pork rice in this post! Overall I like this place for the cheap eats and the convenience therefore do give it a try if you happen to be in town.

One of my very good friend recommended this hidden gem found in the preppy streets of Tiong Bahru. The restaurant is cozy and quaint therefore gives me a good appetite whenever I am dining here. We ordered quite a few items that night and the most memorable dish for me was the green curry chicken. Other dishes such as the pineapple fried rice, kang kong and phad Thai was not too bad however the pandan chicken was a tad too oily for us. R drank 2-3 glasses of Thai iced tea as he can't really take spicy food for an Indian. Ha, the irony.

Even on a mundane Wednesday night this popular joint is packed with hungry diners. Thank god we made reservations the night before else it would have been a wasted trip. Not sure if we were hungry or just plain greedy and ended up ordering more food than usual. S liked the red curry beef very much while I very much prefer the Thai prawn cake which is filled with succulent bite-sized prawns. Yum. We were disappointed with the stuffed wings as it did not meet our high expectations. *Try sugar granny cafe for finger-licking wings instead* Other dishes such as tom yum soup, sweet potato leaves, basil pork rice were at most average. Only saving grace would be the mango sticky rice drizzled with coconut milk that will entice you for more. Do note that they have a ongoing beer promotion... buy 2 small Singha and get another one free!
That's about it. If you guys wanna recommend me some cheap and good Thai eats... do leave a comment! :)
