Thai Food Restaurant (301 Ubi Ave 1 #01-273) (Moved – See new address)

Ok this is not my first time eating here. Many times already. Reason is that it’s really good and affordable. So I’ve arranged to meet up with 2 girl-friends to introduce how good the food is.

The shop owners are an old couple who hired a Thai cook from Bangkok (His name is Ah Thep or Ah Boy). Very nice and friendly people and somehow they are very contented with their lives until I decided to feature their food. I hope they have better business as they are really old already.

Rating: 4.5/5 (No aircon and got funny smell coming from the Thai provision shop next door.)

Taste: Very nice like I said. A change from the expensive Thai restaurants we use to know. Other must tries are Pandan Chicken, Fried Chicken Wings, Tanghoon Salad, Pineapple Rice, etc. Oh for the Thais, you might like to know they have glutinous rice (Khao Niao) as well to go with your dishes instead of white rice.

Portion: Very good.

Price: All the above for only $57.00. (Did not show us consuming 4 can drinks and 1 hot tea)

RTE: Always! My mum just love eating here!

Operating Hours: 11am to 9pm

Location: 301 Ubi Avenue 1 (see comments for new address)

  2. YUMMY food.. I love it esp the Phad Thai and the sotong..actually everything that was ordered was yummy! Not my first time there, but will definitely be back.,


  3. Ah Boy is out of Singapore cos of work permit issues and waiting for approval. He’ll be back in June. Hence you may have to wait cos aunty is handling everything from marketing, preparation of the food and cooking. uncle is too old to help much. I was there recently, seeing them struggle, I helped them to clear the plates and bowls after the other customers left. Very sad. So please be patient ok?


  5. Uncle and Aunty moved to 79A/79 Circuit Road Hawker Center. Only 2 of them managing the place. Go support ok?

    Thanks Mercury Low for dropping me a FB message! Much appreciated! 🙂
