Don't miss this unassuming Thai joint for a fiery good meal. The Thai Boat Noodles (from $1.90) come in a comforting herbal broth, perfect for rainy nights while the Tom Yum River Prawn Noodles ($10.50) hit the spot for a hot and spicy option! Also good and a must-order — sweet, yummy Mango Sticky Rice ($10). Burppler Cady Tay highly recommends the Tom Yam Egg Noodles ($9.50) with 10 levels of spiciness to choose from.

For A Longtime Favourite
Hit up this community favourite on Purvis Street, where Burppler I makan Sg says "Since our previous visit years ago, the taste in their dishes have not changed as far as we could remember. We ordered 3 classic Thai dishes and were not disappointed." They tried the Thai Prawn Vermicelli which were "flavourful and stood out with those big prawns" and the Thai basil pork, which was "well-cooked and also evident of the quality of pork used, consistent across their other dishes for quality ingredients."

For Extra Generous Portions
This authentic Thai food restaurant at Bishan serves up generous portions of the classics at very affordable price points, from Thai-style Kang Kong ($7) to Claypot Prawn Vermicelli ($16). Burppler Wuu Yyiizzhhoouu ordered the latter and said "the vermicelli had a light shellfish flavour and was extremely addictive without being too heavy."

For Trusty Thai Cuisine In The Heartlands
With multiple outlets islandwide and a ton of popularity, it's no surprise that it'll take you almost 30 minutes to get to the front of the queue during peak hours. Getting a trusty Thai fix to satisfy your craving is a lot easier with dishes like their Tom Yum soup (choose to have the clear or thick base) that's tangy yet subtly sweet. If you need a drink to quell the spiciness, their Thai Iced Tea will do the trick. Most dishes are reasonably priced, with meats ranging from $6-$8 and seafood dishes priced from $10 onwards. Order a plate of rice (or two) to go with your dishes so you can mop up all that saucy goodness!
