Food is very good n servings are huge. Pig trotters are especially delish
Price increases across the board
Honestly the Thai kway chap is not worth trying, it's literally the same ingredients in maybe different proportions in soup. The soup which is way too peppery, overwhelmingly so
Chili is very, very sharp
The pig trotter is good, thick braising sauce with gooey skin. The braising sauce is the sweet kind with a herbal touch. But meat could have been a bit more tender
Seeing how there are other good pig trotter places in Singapore, even specifically the Thai style, I don't see the point in traveling to this ulu place
The generous portions of the 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗶 𝗦𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗧𝗿𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗲 ($4.50) astounded us. Every slice of pig trotter, manifesting gelatinous fats and chewy lean meat, was infused with the delicious braising gravy. Every bite elicited squeals of delight, reminding me of the good times at Chatuchak Weekend Market.
One of the best finds in 2022 and definitely worth checking out!
Pong Cheer Cheer is a hidden gem inside the Defu industrial park. Run by two Thai natives, the authentic Thai food at this stall is not only scrumptious, but comes in big portions as well.
The 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗶 𝗦𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲 𝗞𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗽 ($4.50) provides the most bang for your buck. A humongous bowl pairing pig trotter, pig skin and tau pok with smooth, slippery kway (flat rice noodles) in a robust, flavourful broth, this was hearty and delicious. IMO this is even better than the popular Thai kway chap along Upper Serangoon Road.
This is considered a very soon return visit for me. Worth it. Note that they have several types of chilli and at least one is very spicy.
This was both so Thai and so not Singaporean. I don't know was it because the stallholder was sorry for running out of soup, but look at this mound. Thick layer of meat over ample rice. The meat and the preserved vegetable were also so authentically Thai I could close my eyes and be transported to Thailand.
