Lunch with colleagues was at this Thai Place in Temasek Tower, opposite our office. We had mango salad and thai fish cake as starters.For mains, by 'recommendation', I ordered the tom yam kar with thai rice noodle and the thai iced tea. Tom yam kar, as I was told, is tom yam with coconut milk.
Both came in orangey coloured shade - the tom yam kar looked suspiciously like laksa while the iced tea looked like some dark carrot juice (just like my celery carrot juice in fact).
Luckily, both tasted pretty alright for me. The tom yam kar was nice, and doesn't taste much like laksa and still retained its tom yam-ness which is spicy and sourish. The noodle was tad hard (maybe they didn't soak it long enough) but wasn't horribly bad.
The thai iced tea, as I was told, was not up to standard but my palates are very easy going. It reminded me of chendol, to the dismay of the original recommender who said it was suppose to taste much better - but I wasn't complaining (except mid way we got our drinks mixed up and might have drank off each other's cups. Lucky for me, I'm H1N1 immune:P)
Dessert was the usual mango sticky rice which I gave a miss but I suspect it should be pretty alright.
Guess where this place is?
