Thai
Located in a secluded corner of Orchard Towers 3rd level, Thai Tantric serves authentic Thai food at a relatively affordable price. My fav is their crispy, well marinated fried Pork Belly ($10) that comes w a homemade chilli/sesame sauce (spicy + tard). Best kind of food before a night of drinking/partying. P/s: get ready to wait 30-45 mins for food to be served on weekends but it'll be worth it!
Chanced upon this gem while shopping at Sim Lim Square. Operated by a friendly and polite family. Got the big pork bowl ($5), which is really just regular size for 1, and chose the tom yum soup base w rice noodles. Soup was a perfect blend of sweet + hot + acidic, and you get the nutty, lemongrass lingering in your mouth, just like the ones I've had in Thailand! Also ordered the pork crackling as side dish, and it was 💯! Crispy (but not tough), fragrant and slightly seasoned (dip in the homemade chili sauce for a satisfying kick)
