Ordered the Beef Special Soup Set via Foodpanda. Got normal spicy with glass noodle and Thai milk tea.

The soup was not bad but I felt like there was a lot of msg(?) Glass noodles felt more like those thick bee hoon as it wasn't chewy as I had expected. Soup had some kangkong, beef slices and sadly 1 1/2 of sliced meatball.

Their thai milk tea is a little different. Their milk tea was a little more astringent. Not really to my liking but what I do like was that it wasn't too sweet.

Overall food is not as good as the one I had at golden mile complex.

Came here for dinner with my family.

We ordered Thai Milk Tea ($3), Iced Lemongrass Drink($2.50), Tom Yum Soup with Chicken($6), Salted Egg Chicken($6.80), Stir fried Pork with Basil Leaves($6.80), Pad Thai with Seafood($6), Papaya Salad($4.80), Steamed Seabass with Thai Lime Sauce($19.80) and Red Ruby($3).

Thai Milk Tea was good. Milky and not too sweet.
Iced Lemongrass Drink could use a stronger lemongrass flavour but sweetness was just nice.

Tom Yum Soup with Chicken was really good. Soup was flavourful, spicy and sour. The soup had sliced canned button mushroom, chicken strips, onions, lemongrass, chili padi, parsley and 1 cherry tomato.

Salted Egg Chicken was good. Chicken was crispy and well coated with the thick, sweet and creamy salted egg yolk sauce.

Stir fried Pork with Basil Leaves was disappointing. The taste of the basil was very minimal and it was not spicy. It tasted more like a regular minced meat dish.

Pad Thai with Seafood was good. It was flavourful and came with 2 prawn, 2 squid rings, beansprouts, peanuts, egg, onion and chives.

Papaya Salad was disappointing. It consisted of papaya, tomatoes, long beans, chili padi. It was not flavorful enough and lacked fish sauce.

Steamed Seabass with Thai Lime Sauce was good. Thai Lime Sauce was tasty, slightly spicy and had sourish notes of tamarind which paired well with the fish.

Red Ruby was ok. The red rubies were nice, sweet and chewy. However the chunky ice led to its downfall.

Overall some of the food were well executed while some weren't. Would I be back again? Yes but I'll definitely avoid all of the food which disappointed me.

Tried their Mango Sticky Rice ($4.50) and Roasted Coconut Caramel, Upsize, Less Sweet ($4.70)

The Mango Sticky Rice was not bad. The sweet and salty milk paired well with the slightly sour mango and coconut rice.

Roasted Coconut Caramel was quite good. Tasted the roasted notes and the caramel was subtle but present. Sweetness was just nice.

Overall not bad, the lady serving was also very friendly. The only complain that I have is that I didn't receive my straw.

Had my late lunch here.

We ordered Basil Pork Rice($5), Clear Tom Yum Soup($6) and their Omelette($5).

Basil Pork Rice was not bad. Flavour was more towards Thai taste buds but not too spicy.
Tom yum soup was good. Spicy and flavourful with fish, prawn, tomatoes, onion, shimeji mushroom.
The omelette was not bad. Oily but could be crispier.

Overall ok for the price paid.

Came here with my friend for dinner.

Prawn Omelette ($8.80). Egg and prawns. Omelette was not bad. Edges were crispy but could use more flavour.

Sweet and Sour Chicken Rice ($8.80). Taste similar to what you get from a Zi Char stall. Not bad, however the rice was quite hard.

Basil Chicken Rice ($8.80). Basil chicken seemed to lack the taste of fish sauce and is quite different from what is served at other places so I didn't really like it. Rice again, quite hard.

Kailan with Oyster Sauce ($8.80). Kailan was perfectly cooked and seasoned. My favourite dish out of all that we tried.

Vegetable Glass Noodle Soup ($8.80). Super disappointed with this soup. My friend can't take spicy so this was the only soup without the chilli icon next to it, hence we ordered this soup. We ordered GLASS NOODLE soup but what arrived at our table was Vegetable Tom Yum Soup. Told the waiter and they told us the soup is the same base and that they'll just add the glass noodle. So fine, we said ok. When the soup came back my friend said it seemed like they added more red chilli to it. So I place them into my bowl since I'm good with heat. However even then when my friend drank a sip, it was too spicy for her. This was even after the waitress who took out order also keyed in less spicy for the soup...

Overall some hits and lots of misses. Won't be back...

They offer an executive set meal $9.90 (1 main + 1 appetizer + 1 drink)

There's quite a few choices you can get. For mains we got Pork Knuckle Rice, Basil Chicken Rice and Tom Yum Seafood Rice.

Pork Knuckle Rice was so-so. A mix of Chinese and Thai? Not that flavorful as well.
Basil Chicken Rice was good. Tasted exactly like what I had at Thailand except less spicier.
Tom Yum soup was good. Flavourful and slightly spicy. There's also clams, mushrooms and prawns in the soup.

For appetizer they had 3 choices, Spring Roll, Chicken Roll and Fish Cake. 2 pieces each when you order the set. A la carte is 4 pieces.

Spring roll and chicken roll were average like what you can get at Chinese stalls as well. Their Thai fish cake was not bad. Had the essence of it but could be more flavourful.

For their drink we had Lemon Tea, Thai Green Milk Tea and Thai Milk Tea.

Lemon tea was a little too sweet but with a good strong acidity. Thai Green Milk Tea and Thai Milk Tea were good, just like what you get from Thailand.

What's Thai food without getting their Mango Sticky Rice? $9.90 for the full Mango. There's also half Mango. So we got one whole mango which came with three small thin rectangle of glutinous rice, two white and one blue. Rice was quite plain. Mango was a little sweet and quite fiber-y. Only thing nice was the sweet coconut sauce.

The cashier was really friendly. But we did experience one of our appetizer getting missed out so I had to ask the server to check on it. Overall a good affordable place to get Thai food.

Came here for dinner. I like how after they seat you, a bowl of popcorn is served. Popcorn were a little soft though and not crunchy.

Thai Milk Tea ($3). A fragrant cup of Thai Milk tea. Sweetness was just nice. Just like the ones you get in Thailand.

Thai Green Milk Tea ($3). The green tea was slightly stronger than the normal milk tea and was less sweeter then the Thai Milk tea. A good choice for those who prefer a less sweeter milk tea.

Mango Salad ($4.90). Mango was crunchy, sour and slight sweet and went well with the sweet, spicy and slight pungent sauce. Peanut also added a good crunch. Do note that the green chilies in the salad is really spicy so if you can't take heat I advise you not to eat them.

Homemade Fish Cake ($5.90). Fish cake was fragrant and had the taste of a Thai fish cake. Not the best thai fish cake I had but it was still good.

Clear Tom Yum Seafood Soup ($5.90). Soup has the essence of tom yum but could have use more acidity and spiciness. At the end, the taste of the lemongrass does overpower the soup which I did not really like.

Claypot Prawn Tang Hoon ($12.90). Tang hoon lacked savoury-ness. Mostly tasted black pepper when I ate the noodle. Prawns however were really good. Fragrant and tasty.

Basil Beef Rice ($5.90). Minced beef were finer than what I am used to. I prefer slightly bigger chunks of minced meat. Taste-wise it was good, you could taste the basil but it could use more spiciness. Wished they added some bird's eye chili to the dish to add some heat to it.

Mango Sticky Rice with Coconut Milk ($6). Rice was just the right sweetness and served warm. Mango was chilled, sweet and slightly sour. Coconut milk on the other hand was quite plain. Wished the coconut milk was sweetened which would have made the dish better.

Overall, even though the menu showed like 2 chili padi on some dishes which indicated that the dish is spicy, I would say the spiciness is quite low. This makes it good for kids and people who can't really handle chili but love Thai food. I would definitely dine here again.
