Treasure in Orchard Tower

Address: Korat Thai Cafe, 400 Orchard Rd, #03-28 Orchard Tower, Singapore 238875 Price: $20/pp Stumble across this Thai restaurant on Google and wanted to give it a try. There's many hidden gem in Orchard Tower - on the same level there was also another famous Thai restaurant but it's on a pricer side of things. On the other corner, just up ahead the escalator, lies a old school restaurant with tables and chairs laid along the corridor. While we wait for our other two friends to come over, the owner greeted us and promptly showed us to our seat. He was very friendly and nice and the food came out rather quickly despite the restaurant being crowded. We ordered: 1. Signature crispy omelette - 9/10 the eggs was fried to perfection. It's not your usual Thai Omelette but it was a perfect combination with the other dishes we ordered. 2. Spicy Kang Kong - 9/10 Vegetable was crunchy and it wasn't too salty. 3. Pla Sum Rod (Fish cooked with three sauce - Spicy, Sour and Savory) - 10/10 The fish was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I love that they had cut the fish into slices for us. The sauce was well balanced and the flavour was on point. 4. Tom Yum Clear - 10/10 Well balanced in flavour and generous ingredients. 5. Phad See Ew - 10/10 We got both the Kwayteow and glass noodle version. Both was really tasty with the "wok hay" charred taste we all love. Things to note is the portion is massive, suitable for 2 pax per plate. 6. Fried instant noodle - 10/10 It tasted like mee goreng but with tom yum flavour. Again huge portion like the rest of their dishes. 7. Thai milk tea - 7/10 Not quite the usual milk tea taste you would find at Golden Mile, but it was drinkable. We ordered a little too much for 4 people, I believe this can be easily shared with 5 pax. Overall I would come back here again as the food is good, the portion is huge and the price is reasonable. #singapore
