Thai 🇹🇭

Hailed as one of Singapore’s best Thai wonton noodles, this bowl offers a cornucopia of pleasures: springy egg noodles resting on a bed of garlic oil, generous shavings of pork lard and fried garlic, tender BBQ pork strips and boiled wontons with a succulent meat filling. Every slurp was attended by a burst of garlicky fragrance. I do wish they’ll toss the noodles more rigorously before serving, to even out the garlic flavour. For those with a more sensitive palate, you may find the noodles a little oily.

💭 Must try

Great way to douse the heat after a spicy Thai meal. The coconut milk wasn’t too dense and the water chestnut balls delivered a satisfying crunch. A little sweet, but thoroughly refreshing.

I had my meal sober but this time-honoured hangover balm was wildly intoxicating. Each mouthful was attended by a burst of spice and flavour: basil (grown in the restaurant!), coriander, fish sauce and the like. The dish kicks it up a sinful notch with the moist stir-fried noodles and minced pork, which squelched with oil in every bite. I almost wish they would use less oil, but then it wouldn’t be half as delectable. Bonus: a thrilling way to eat in Orchard without drying up your funds.
