There is a new Thai cafe, Nakhon Kitchen, on Bedok North Avenue 3 that serves authentic yet affordable Thai food and is becoming a sleeper hit among residents in the area.
Nakhon Kitchen started business in early January and long queues are forming over dinner time and during the weekend.
The dishes are quite affordable with the more popular dishes like the Tom Yam soup cost around SGD6. Most Thai restaurants would charge double.
Also there is no GST or service charge and this place offer ice cold plain water.
I usually go the clear Tom Yum seafood but today decided to have a taste of the coconut milk Tom Yam.
The coconut milk used isn’t too strong so you still can linger on the taste of the lemongrass which is classic Tom Yum.
When you put a spoonful in your mouth, your taste buds will immediately feel the two different and distinct flavour of lemongrass and coconut.
The seafood option serves with two medium prawns plus a few cuttlefish and fish bits.
The next dish we tried was the Thai garlic fried chicken. Unfortunately, this was quite a disappointment as we couldn’t taste garlic as described by the name of the dish.
Still the chicken was well cooked and the bite size chunks is also enough to fill you for a meal.
Pineapple rice is a popular dish among the customers. It looks good for 2 but with the other dishes, 1 would do.
My recommendation is to use this dish as a main course to your rice rather as the rice itself. Mix it with white rice and you get a good meal out of this dish.
This is Thai style Kang Kong which is little on the belachan as compared to Singapore style samble belachan Kang Kong.
Looks oily, but there was no tinge of oil felt when we ate it though.
Don’t forget the condiments. The sambal balachan is a blast and a good mix with your dish and rice.
The cost of the dishes above? Only SGD24 without GST or service charge! White rice is at SGD1 a plate.
I would give the place a 4 plates of rice out of 5 and with the dishes served, I won’t be surprised if you down four plates of rice too.
