Thai Supermarket at Aperia Mall has recently welcomed 2 new food stalls along its mini makan alley right next to the cashier counters. If you’re feeling peckish after your regular Thai grocery run, then swing by for a quick takeaway. Follow us as we checked out what’s aroi mak mak!
Seeking some Thai-style wok-fried fare? Then Pad Pad Thai’s got your back, and your belly, too. Choose from 7 options on the menu such as Pad See Eiw (S$7 for pork/chicken, S$8 for prawn) also known as Thai-style fried kway teow, and Thai Basil Stir-Fry (S$7 for pork/chicken).
The Pad Kee Mao (S$7 for pork)Â was aromatic with the Thai spices and seasoning. The stands of Thai Mama noodles were savoury and had robust hints of basil and spice. Just imagine a Maggi mee goreng undergoing a makeover in Thailand.
For those who are obsessed over scrambled egg rice bowls, I’ve something solid to recommend. Allow your taste buds to be blown away by the Basil Pork Creamy Egg Omelette (S$8). Pad krapow is one of my favourite dishes and tastes great with sunny side-up and rice. But it turns out that creamy scrambled eggs make it an even bigger win! This is so good, I’d eat it three times a week if my cholesterol wasn’t so high.
The Pad Thai (S$8 for prawn) is easily one of the better versions I’ve tried. I’m usually not a fan as it tends to be overly sweet, but this rendition leans more savoury. It also had 4 prawns and little pieces of dried crispy shrimp that lift both texture and flavour.
Yum Yum Tod Tod is famed for its smoky Northeastern Thai flavours. Thus, you can find Ping-Gai (S$2.50), a Laos-style grilled chicken with several parts including the heart, bishop’s nose, etc. If you’re not into innards, there’s chicken wings and normal meat. You can also get Moo-Ping (S$2.50) and pair it with Sticky Rice (S$1). Currently, there’s a ‘3 for S$7‘ promotion going for the assorted Thai skewers.
The Yum Woon Sen Lava (S$10) features a tang hoon salad of tomatoes, sausages, coriander and onions, topped with a generous amount of minced pork. Drizzle the sauce, give it a good mix, and enjoy! This was such a light yet appetite-inducing dish.
Love chewy bites? Well, think of the Fish Bomb (S$5) as Thailand’s take on the Indonesian lekor — just in ball form. It paired really well with the sweet and spicy dip. If you’re looking for something exotic and a little different from the usual, try the Esan Papaya Salad (S$8). It’s your usual papaya salad but topped with black crab and fermented fish sauce.
Because no meal’s complete without a little sugar fix, The Crispy Crepes is where you go for piping-hot pancakes and crepes.
Want a sweet treat that will be the centre of attention? Then explore the 8 varieties of the 40cm large crispy crepes, which include 3 savoury flavours.
Though the Matcha Munchies (S$7.50) was full of Koko Krunch and almonds, it was the Thai Taste (S$8) that surprised me. Layered with a thin spread of Thai red chilli paste, it was then crowned with pork floss, crab stick and mayonnaise.
You can also savour other goodies like the Tokyo with Pandan Custard (S$6 for 5 pieces, S$10 for 10 pieces), Pandan Pancakes (S$6 for 10 pieces, S$10.50 for 20 pieces), Mango Pandan Sticky Rice (S$7), and Thai Crispy Crepes Kanom Buang (S$6 for 8 pieces, S$6 for 12 pieces).
