Thai Express @ Tiong Bahru Plaza

Crayfish: Oversized Prawn or Undersized Lobster?

Dear loyal readers of thehumblegourmet, its been a month or so since the last post of mouth-watering Singaporean Gourmet food due to preparations for our exams and such, so we're glad to be back!

This time round, Jeremy takes you on a trip to Thai Express to try some of the food served in one of, if not the most, known Thai restaurant chains here in Sunny Singapore!

Upon entering the half-empty (or half-full for you optimistic people) restaurant during lunch time, we were immediately greeted by polite staff who immediately led us to our seats.

Black Pepper Claypot Crayfish with Tang Hoon. This one was a little on the spicy side, with the black pepper served in generous proportions. Felt that the taste of the black pepper masked everything else. Only for fans of black pepper dishes. $13.90


Yellow Ginger Chicken Rice - Featured in the newspapers not too long ago, this dish boasts of being REALLY SPICY!! Waiter even served the dish and said "Good Luck!" to my colleague! *Note from thehumblegourmet - Not for the faint-hearted! $9.90


Tom Yum Soup with Stick Noodles


Soft Shell Crab - This dish was light and fluffy, and tasted somewhat different from the way the Japanese make it. $7.90


Lemon Chicken Drumlets This dish comes free with every $30 minimum spend and if you're paying with DBS/POSB Cards.

On the whole, Thai Express is for people who love Thai-style spicy cuisine and don't mind getting their tastebuds burnt!
