I love having Thai food and ever since I heard of this new hipster thai cafe, Folks Collective, I had to check it out! Had lunch with 2 of my friends here around 1 plus pm and the restaurant was pretty empty. I guess it was already past the lunch hour ;) Initially wanted to order the lunch sets but ended up ordering dishes to share among the 3 of us. Hot/Cold water is chargeable at $0.50 each and it was serve in a pretty looking cup. For drinks, we ordered the Thai Iced Tea (Cha Yen) and Lime Ju

For drinks, we ordered the Thai Iced Tea (Cha Yen) and Lime Juice. I really love the Cha Yen here as it tasted so authentic!! It had the right balance of bitterness from the tea leaves and sweetness from the condensed milk and sugar.
Pad Thai is a must to order when you dine in at a Thai restaurant and we had the one with chicken. It is not bad!
Tom Yum soup is also another must-order item and we had the seafood version which came in a clear broth. I was scared initially to taste it as I heard the clear versions are actually the killer spicy one compared to the red version. However, it was not that spicy at all! I guess they tweak the taste a little to suit Singaporeans.
The sambal kangkong was also not that spicy as I expected. The cereal prawns were yummy! However, I find that it's too small a portion for the price they charge for it.
This is my favourite dish out of all! I just love the combination of chicken and cashew nuts
The 3 of us were very full already but we can't just leave the place without trying one of their desserts! I really love the coconut icecream from Thailand and the version they serve here is so authentic! It is coconut icecream with traditional toppings on top of glutinous rice.
The decor of this entire place is so pretty and I can tell a lot of effort being put into setting up this restaurant. I will want to come back here again to try their lunch sets as they come in really cute looking vintage tiffin carriers!
