Welcome to Tanah Merah. Looking for Thai places?

Although packed with plenty of ingredients such as minced pork and roast pork slices, the tomyum soup could have been punchier. As it was, this tasted like it could have been made at home for cheaper.

With not much smokiness and the noodles fairly glistening with oil, this is edible but doesn't quite pass muster. There's at least 2 other Thai restaurants in East Village, so they have their competition cut out for them.

A random trip to Bedok Marketplace was what it took us to find Kanom Thai by chance — it does seem that there has been quite a high turnover rate for the hawker stalls that are located at Bedok Marketplace, with many of the tenants that we had spotted during our previous visit to the food centre having been replaced by new stalls. Located right beside Fatty Patty at the second level of the food centre in one of the middle aisles is Kanom Thai; one of the recent additions to Bedok Marketplace which seems to have a specialty in serving Thai snacks and Thai desserts — its pink facade is something which we found to be rather difficult to miss. The menu has a heavy emphasis on serving up Thai iced desserts — one can find items such as the Red Ruby, Shaved Ice with 3 topping, Thai Chendol and Pang-Yen (i.e. flavoured shaved ice with bread); other Thai snacks that Kanom Thai also serves up includes Fried Crispy Bananas, Thai Fried Sweet Potato Balls, and Young Coconut Jelly.

We were actually craving for Chendol when chanced upon the existence of Kanom Thai at Bedok Marketplace — this was how we found ourselves going for the Thai Chendol here. For those whom are unfamiliar with Thai Chendol, the Thai-rendition of the Chendol does seem to be a little more basic than the ones that we are familiar with in the local rendition — while there are still green Chendol jelly, the Thai Chendol comes with only jackfruit, shaved ice and coconut milk as compared to the Attap seeds, Gula Melaka and red beans that would come with the usual Chendol we are more familiar with. While the Chendol jelly comes in a dark green hue that seems to be pretty much void of any artificial colouring, we did find that the notes of Pandan seem rather faint for the Chendol jelly here. Nonetheless, the coconut milk actually comes with a rather intriguing floral aroma — almost rose-infused that gave it some form of contrast despite being slightly diluted from the melted shaved ice; all whilst the slight sweetness of the jackfruit also helped to elevate the experience just a little. The shaved ice was also a little bit on the coarser side then what we would prefer it to be. Overall, a bowl of Thai Chendol that we felt isn’t quite memorable; still something worth considering for dessert whilst at Bedok Marketplace especially given the lack of dessert options in the immediate area it is situated in.

Serving is adequate and not overly greasy. However, feel that the seafood version should be called prawn version instead, since I only see 4 small prawns, and no other seafood. I can even see the black vein in all my prawns, although they don’t taste gritty. Other than that, the noodles are decent.

Legit thai food. Pad thai kway teow was flavourful and seafood were fresh and tender. Green curry was spicy with tender chicken. Ordered the fried stuffed chicken wing which was packed with ingredients. Pandan chicken was also tender. Thai milk tea and coconut milkshake also were good! The best part was the boss gave us a free marble cake because it was Mother's day. Just nice to celebrate Mother's day and really made my day since we didn't expect it. Good food and an unexpected cake. Wow 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👌🏼

For reasons unbeknownst I liked this a lot, and some people might not understand. I usual lot go around trying Tom yum fried rice, and some pale in comparison to the ideal standard I always have in mind. This though, hit the right spots of flavour I desired — more sour, yet an adequate level of spiciness as well. For $7.90, ingredients were pretty generous, with squid, frozen prawns and crabmeat. Would come back for my Tom yum fried rice fix if I ever have one again.

When I ordered this, I thought it would be fried garlic chicken dices. However, it came in boneless parts, together with a sweet sauce that I believe with some garlic to get the Essence, and then drizzled with garlic bits. Honestly, I thought that it was not too bad since it was completely not what I expected, but I realised the flavour was more sweet, probably from the dark sauce, rather than garlic-y. The texture of the chicken was off-putting as well.. it felt very rubbery for some reason. I’d rather a savoury garlic dish than a sweet one any day.

This huge bowl of soup had a generous amount of ingredients, including fresh prawns which was a shocker cus my fried rice had frozen prawns instead. There were squid, fish slices and mushrooms inside as well. Not as spicy as I would like it to be, and more on the sour side. But nonetheless this hot soup was comforting on a rainy night.

I personally find it difficult to find Thai tea thats perfect for me...Ordered less sweet and this was just right for me! I believe they used cha trau mue leaves to brew the tea because they displayed the containers on the counter, and it felt as authentic as one could get in thailand. Though I ordered less sweet, there was definitely still an adequate amount of sweetness, but it was acceptable considering how it’s Thai milk tea. I realised many people were ordering it too, perhaps because it’s one of their more popular drinks there? I felt that $3.50 for this was not too affordable, but still more to the decent side.

This fish is fried perfectly and it's meat is tasty too! It is crispy and comes with Asam Sriraja sauce (as stated in the menu) I think the taste of it is solid and robust and at such a low price, it's certainly worth it!

[Halal] A slight switch up from the flurry of dessert and Western-related food posts. Actually, not really the case. I just have rice and/or noodles almost everyday - they just go undocumented. 😬 That normally includes this Honey Chicken Fried Rice from Great Thai, but not today!

I really don't ask for much in a plate of one, but the generous amount of diced chicken in addition to the ones mixed with their honey sauce were greatly appreciated! It also doesn't have too many different ingredients and it wasn't oily too. This goes perfectly with a cup of their Thai Iced Tea! If I never had to worry about staying in shape, you can bet I'd have this everyday (7.5/10)

It's the Thai composite flavour through and through.
