I’m a huge pad Thai fan because I love that sweetish flavour profile but if you’re not a fan of that, this might be a little sweet for you. Otherwise, I thought the pad Thai had an ideal ‘wetness’ and was very tasty (the flavours were strong). Make sure to have it while it’s hot cause when it cools down, it hardens significantly.

From seafood pad Thai to coconut egg yolk ice cream, Siamese Cat is a Thai cafe that serves up authentic and affordable Thai food. Siamese Cat was actually Tuk Tuk Cha, but the outlets at Novena and Suntec have been changed to SC. The menu is otherwise almost exactly the same.

Nice chill place. Tried the pad Thai for lunch special at $9.80 with drink. Worth a revisit :)

This may sound like a strange combination, but is actually pretty common in Thailand. Note that it’s not salted egg yolk but just normal egg yolk, so it doesn’t add any saltiness. The egg yolk is added half cooked and churned together with the coconut ice cream so it’s frozen too. It’s easy to understand why the Thais like this: the egg yolk adds a richness to the refreshing and otherwise light coconut ice cream, and the pairing of the two tasted so intuitive despite my initial reservations.
