Khun Mee Thai is one of the latest Thai casual dining restaurants to join the Singapore's F&B scene with a focus on Thai-Chinese street food. Using ingredients sourced directly from Thailand, Khun Mee Thai improvises its street food offerings by adjusting to the palate of Singaporeans.
Most people would be familiar with Thai cuisine but what exactly defines Thai-Chinese street food? Chinese immigraton was a major influence on the evolution of Thai street food, especially in Bangkok, where Chinese coolies worked hard to improve their lives. In their communal living, there was a demand for street-side stalls and typically noodle soups, rice dishes, snacks and sweets were popular offerings.
Can Khun Mee Thai bring the best of Bangkok street food to Singapore? Let us find out!
While the egg noodles were cooked al dente, the diners at the table all shared the same view that it was slightly too dry only did we later realise that we did not enjoy the dish the way it was meant to be served!
For those who prefer a milder taste, do opt for the tom yam with milk as that helped to neutralise the heat.
In order to best enjoy the dish, mix all the condiments together with the pork stew for a good contrast of textures and flavours such as the crunchy green mango to the crispy deep fried Chinese sausage.
Some hits and misses with the dishes but I felt that it was partly due to our misunderstanding of the convention and culture to truly enjoy the dishes. If in doubt, we would advise to check with the serving staffs to truly experience the tastes and flavours intended. For the price conscious, you would be most delighted to learn that the prices on the menu are nett prices so on hindsight, the food is really value for money!
