Welcome to Harbourfront. Looking for Thai places?

I was hankering for something warm and comforting late in the evening at Seah Im Food Centre. Most of the stalls were closed but Thaksin Beef Noodles was kinda attention grabbing.

Named after that ex-Thai PM (who has apparently visited and enjoyed their food), Seah Im serves Thai Beef Noodles. I am usually not a fan of Thai soup noodles because they tend to be rather salty and MSG-laden.

Thaksin proudly proclaim on their signboard that they do not use Msg. Their signature beef soup was surprisingly good - clear, hearty and robust with nice herbal notes. I love that the soup is earthy and beefy but yet light and refreshing. I don't usually enjoy beef innards because they can be rubbery and tough. Thaksin's tripe though was tender and chewy and their brisket was melt in the mouth tender. Their chili sauce was also refreshing tangy with nice garlic undertones.

I was rather surprised at how good this was and will definitely be back!

Love the deal available! Enjoyed the 4 mains + 2 drinks, and desserts👍 The noodles were very juicy and great for sharing 😃

Teriyaki Beef Sandwich + Thai Green Milk Tea (S$6)

Sorry I was too hungry and started eating before I took this photo :P Actually not too bad a bowl of Tom Yum noodles - soup was savoury and a little spicy, and the noodles were chewy. They were quite generous with the seafood, there were a few chunks of fish and also 3 prawns.

We also got the Gula Melaka Milk Tea with Pearls ($4.80), which was pretty average, some pearls were a bit hard on the inside.

Overall not too bad, wouldn’t pay full price for this but it’s alright with the 1-for-1 Burpple deal. They are very flexible with the options applicable for the Burpple deal - the staff literally told me “everything also can”, which is a great plus point!

Probably not for fussy eaters but as long as you don’t expect some amazing restaurant quality food here, I honestly think it’s a pretty okay option to just grab something casual, sit down and chat with friends with no pressure of dining time limits and such. We visited on a weekday night and it wasn’t too busy, didn’t have to wait too long to get our food either.

Toast was very crispy and crunchy. I thought the ice cream provided would be coconut ice cream but it tasted more like vanilla ice cream, though there was a generous amount of dried coconut shavings all around the dessert.

was $25.60 for 2 pax and i want to say we were FULL😭 (its a good thing). very affordable for the portion and things served but i dont think i would come again, would recommend yall to try once tho 😆

overall milk tea was great, friend liked shibuya toast alot she said it was crispy on the outside and soft, looked v appealing too. havent eaten mine so idk 😅

however i thought the main was ehhh. the egg noodle had a weird texture (maybe the other noodles wld be better) and the taste was just...okay. wldnt say decently nice but decent.. on the lower end. meatballs(?) are kinda good tho! friend got the tomyum and she says it tastes like her school's tomyum LOL so not worth :') honestly idk maybe another noodle type would taste better for the chicken but idt i will return just bc of the main 😶 maybe can have more options... like rice etc

3⭐️/5 Thai Beef noodles (not in picture)
Beef noodles comes with beef slice, beef balls, daikon, bean sprouts. Soup is quite appetising but felt that it could be some what richer or thicker. The dish contains a good deal of beef slices and the beansprouts can be a little raw to some. Overall, a hearty meal.

4⭐️/5 Pandan Taro Kaya Shibuya Toast
The toast is served with half kaya half taro dip and some Oreo and Lotus biscuits crumbs topped with a coconut ice cream. The kaya and the taro dip is not that sweet, thick and creamy. Its a good dessert to go with as there is a variety amount of toppings on a soft yet crispy toast.
(Get this Shibuya toast instead of the single kaya dip golden toast. For the same amount of money, you get 2 different dips, some biscuit bits and ice cream with the same quantity of toast.)

-⭐️/5 Thai Milk Tea
-⭐️/5 Green Thai Milk Tea
Just a normal thai milk tea

Set consist of 2 mains, 2 drinks and 2 desserts.
Pros: Set is super flexible and doesn’t restrict you to a particular sized main/drink or type of dessert.
You just pay accordingly for 1 set of the higher priced item.

Food was delicious, but the rice noodle lacked a bit of springiness to it. Overall a great deal.

Had one of the most value of dollar meal. Food was so good that I could hear the tuk tuk sounds while eating. The drink was so sweet that if HPB was there they would cry tears of joy for my health. The dessert was so delicious that I would have ran 10kms to eat one bite of that heavenly toast

Very filling for 2 people, think the portions would fit 3 ppl nicely!
Enjoyed my shibuya toast :) Got the aloha coconut flavour

second time back srsly just trust $11 per person and u get a drink + a main + this huge ass dessert. so unassuming but you’ll be sure to feel super full and super satisfied bc everything tastes great !!!!! highly recommend the ice cream with the pandan and coconut and taro sauce
