Thailicious Boat Noodles (泰好吃), Liang Seah Street

Thailicious Boat Noodles

Came over to try the boat noodles and other food after reading about them (#01-01, 8 Liang Seah Street, tel : +65 6917 9857) online.

Thailicious Boat Noodles - boat noodles

We were prepared that this would never be as flavourful and rich as the ones we've had in Bangkok because of the lack of a particular ingredient that cannot be imported here. True enough, this wasn't as robustly flavoured those. This one had pork and beef. Flavour was not bad. A little sweet, a little herbal and beefy. I suppose it's the closest we can get to the real thing here. 

The sliced beef shank was tender, unlike the cold ones that one normally gets for appetizers in Chinese restaurants.

Thailicious Boat Noodles -  tom yum egg noodles

Tried their tom yum egg noodles which we were told wasn't spicy. Which was odd. But it turned out to be spicy. The flavour was somewhat nutty and sweet as well, not like tom yum as we were used to. They were generous with the minced pork. Noodle texture was nice.

Thailicious Boat Noodles - mango salad

We ordered a less spicy mango salad. Quite spicy still. I'm seeing a pattern there. Not bad. But too bad they didn't have crushed peanuts lying around to make it better. Loved those cashews.

Thailicious Boat Noodles - cabbage fish sauce eggs crab meat

This was cabbage stir fried with fish sauce, eggs and crab meat. We've had something similar previously at Nhong Rim Klong in Bangkok so I wanted to see if this was also good. It wasn't. Eggs were more mushy and the crab meat was very minced. Not chunky like those in Nhong Rim Klong which were more enjoyable.
