Northen Thai: Tom Yum Soup with a Twist!
With smart, mien, iwatch_ueat, fertilefoodie and accidentalfoodie
I have been eating at this stall for 2 years and I am still amazed why they have not gotten a newspaper writeup or have any mediacorp stars' face pasted on the stallfront yet!! Time and time again, when I bring my friends here, the response has always been a resounding SHIOK!! This time round, the four new foodies all agree that this stall deserves a rating of between a 4 to a 4.5.
Besides the taste, the other great thing is that the Tom Yum Fish Soup is unlike anything I have ever eaten here or in my 2 years living in Bangkok! It is not the classic Tom Yum that we know. The soup is more like a cross between Tom Yum and Tom Kha (With coconut milk). The soup is robust with the flavours of lemongrass, basil, chilli padi and Kaffir lime leaves to give it that tangy and spicy taste with just a tint of coconut to give it some body.
The other thing to die for is the crispy fried fish. For me at least, the fried fish was astounding! It has just the right balance of seasoning (and most likely MSG) to get your umami receptors happily pinging away.
Conclusion
You must try this because it is not only really shiokadoo, it is the only version of it I know of anywhere in Singapore! $3 4.5/5

hi, read your blog frequently. This stall serve very good deep fried thai chilli fish too. Try it if you can! :)
My friend who ate there before has been singing praises about its fare but i have yet to try. Now that you sorta confirm its tryworthiness, i shall go. Thank you.
Yeah, this place is shiok! I've not been there recently though. Thanks for jolting my memory! :)
The fish was fried till just right and the soup, which taste between tom yam goong and curry goes very well with a bowl of steaming hot rice.
Moreover, it's not that spicy (IMHO), thus, could be enjoyed by anybody.
There is this nice little place that serves yummilicious authhentic Thai cuisine @ Bukit Merah - restaurant food at non-restaurant price.....worth a visit.....:) It is Joe's Kitchen @ Block 125 Bukit Merah Lane 1, #01-182, Singapore 150125. 91005185 - Joe - The Boss, 98577007 - The Lady Boss.
