Thai Street Noodles


I found my Thai noodle joint at International Plaza. LOL It's a hole-in-the-wall spot on the ground floor. There're only counter seats available and often, you're better off getting takeout than waiting for the seats. But the seats work for me after a sweaty gym session. It's predictably called 'Baan Thai Noodle'.

I like it because it's like a street stall, with air-conditioning. I assume hygiene wise, it's better since I have had no diarrhoea or anything so far. They have the usual noodle bowls of tom yum, chicken, Thai chilli, fishballs and pork. The menu is limited, but sufficient. You could add on ingredients of pork slices, liver or chicken drumstick and such. Choose between three kinds of noodles - Thai rice thin noodles (sen-lek), yellow thin noodles (ba-mee) or instant noodles (mama-mee).

I like its dry fishball noodles (using sen-lek), and adding pork slices and minced pork to it. That's a happy lunch. It has pretty low nutritional value, but it tastes absolutely satisfying. I generally like my noodles as some form of thin kway-teow dry (think ba chor mee, Teochew fish ball noodles, the sorts), white-white with no weird ketchup, vinegar or dark soy. Hehh.
