    Everything in this place was delicious. Seriously. Everything. Cereal prawn and pandan chicken are MUST HAVES. You don't need a/c here, the place is well ventilated enough to keep the place cool.

    Mango sticky rice and the drinks! The olive rice is big enough for two to share. It's probably also the only viable vegetarian option (comes with a lot of side veg, not just rice).

    Our favorite Thai restaurant in Singapore. No posh, just good food. Soft shell crab is great. Mango and papaya salad as well. But really everything is good so just order what you feel like.

    Mango salad: ONLY mango & onion in sweet sauce. Fish cake: chewy & too oily. Pad Su-Ee: worth it, lots of meat. My tip: if you're craving Thai & First Thai is the only option, delay your gratification

    I last ate 4-5 yrs ago and quite a lot has changed. I still like the fish cake and basil with pork. Thai iced milk tea worth trying.

    The steamed fish (in some spicy sauce) is mind blowing!! However if u intend to order this u might want to give the (equally awesome) Tom yum soup a miss cos fish comes in lots of broth.

    Tom Yum Gong was a MUST TRY with its big fresh prawns. While the stock seems rather clear, the Tom Yum is really potentially potently spicy. Sweating is guaranteed and do get ready your tissues. Read more

    Try the Pannang Kai chicken, very unique flavour. Forget about customising your orders here though they won't even let you have your drink with no ice.

    There might be a queue for dinner but it is worth the wait. Steamed otah is a MUST TRY!

    Over-priced. $8 for pad Thai with only veggies + $2 sunny side egg + $0.50 takeaway box. Tasteless.
