Northern Thai 泰北 (Thai food)

Name of the shop is Northern Thai or 泰北. It is situated at the corner of Tyrwhitt and Kitcherner Road.



The boss is chatty and friendly, he will go around asking if the food is ok whenever he is free. Very good customer service here!

Understand that he married a Thai as his wife (lucky guy) and his wife is in-charge of the kitchen and he in-charge outside the kitchen.

Dish to recommend is the seafood Tom Yam soup with pineapple rice ($4/set) and fried fillet ($6).

The pineapple rice is nicely friend with nice aroma smell and top with pork floss. You can even eat it by itself without any side dish or gravy.



The seafood Tom Yam soup (they also serve fish fillet tom yam), the star of the stall, is thick and rich in flavor. They are very generous with the serving with tou fu, tomato, shrimp, mushroom, fried fish slice and lots of spice.

The soup is spicy and sour with the right touch. SHIOK!!!


They used to serve the entire fish but they remove it from the menu due to some customer complain. They complain that the kid ate the fish and the fish bone almost choke the kid (sigh ... singaporean)

So the thoughtful boss improvise it with the fillet and this is the product. Fillet is crispy even with the spicy sweet and sour sauce. If happen that your eating plain rice, this sauce also go damn well with the rice.


So how good is the food you may ask ...

Need I say more??

Do note that they only open for lunch and do go early as the pineapple rice sell out faster then your heart beat when you travel on the ERP CTE.

Normally, it will pack with people during lunch time and during peak hour, do prepare to wait for approx 10~15minutes for your order.

And they don't open for business on Sunday.

Prawn Noodle in Marsiling

Located in Marsiling Food Center facing the main road
(N01 26.604 E103 46.619)

Price $2.50 or $3.00

The stall usually open very early and often you can see people Q-ing up for the food. 10minutes of waiting time is the norm.

Waited about 10min and ordered the $3.00 Bee hoon + Mee dry.

The owner will first put the minced pork + some other ingredient into a small bowl and filled it with the hot prawn soup. Then he proceed to prepare the noodle with his special sauce and after doing so, he will dry the small bowl and put the minced pork into the noodle. He will then prepare the prawn soup and served it together with the noodle.

Soup is tasty with strong prawn sweetness and the best part is that I do not feel thirsty drinking it. Noodle is springy and you can still feel that the noodle is 'separated' when you put that inside the mouth.

Verdict: Can try and $2.50 should be enough for normal human :p

Mutton Soup in Geylang

Located at Geylang lor 31 (N01 18.855' E103 53.221)

Price S$4.00 (exclude rice)

The meat is very tender and come with great serving, you can ask for ribs only or mixture of different parts!

the owner uses chinese herbals and ginger to cover most of the mutton smell but still able to provide the kick after it.

Overall verdict: Go for it, value for $
Should have drink more soup to 'expose' those meat before taking the picture as it do not show justice :p

UNO beef house

Western food @ UNO Beefhouse in Toa Payoh

This is my first visit to UNO Beef House. As its name has always popped up in my Nuvi food list, I decided to give it a try on a windy Sunday, 26 Nov 2006.

You can find this stall in Toa Payoh Lor 5, just beside the Esso petrol station. Once you pass by the Esso station, look on the left and you should see the sign board.

We ordered beef steak ($8.00) and lamb chops ($6.00) and waited for about 30 mins for the food to be served.

For the lamp chops, the fries were cold and the colour of the coleslaw didn't look appealing, apparently out from the fridge for some time. The smell of the lamb is too strong and the portion is small.

I ordered a medium well for the steak. The fried mashed potato ball was good and it had a special flavour, indescribable. A tomato was brilliantly placed onto the steak, adding to the dish a touch of brightness and colour. Most importantly, the chef didn't over cook my steak so it was very juicy. Also, the gravy blended well with the steak, heavenly.

My verdict for this stall is that it serves good steak and is a 'must try' if you are in Toa Payoh, but try to keep away from the lamb chops.
