This casual Thai eatery along Thomson Road is one of the best-kept secrets of the neighbourhood. While it promises affordably priced authentic Thai food cooked with quality ingredients, it also guarantees a side of queues during dinner time. Here, the chefs are touted to hail from the Isan region (Northern Thailand) so expect robust flavours with a lick of spice. Their signature dish is the crab omelette where they boil fresh blue swimmer crabs and handpick the flesh out. The meaty chunks are then encased in a perfectly cooked omelette with a nice outer char and fluffy insides.
The eatery also insists on using fresh seafood. The Thai-style fried seabass is popular among locals but it is the steamed version that truly takes you to flavour-town. The delicate fish pairs well when steamed with chillies and lime which is both spicy, savoury and yet acidic. Other stir-fried dishes such as the vermicelli prawn pot, fried rice noodles and fried basil pork are also well-executed.
