what constitutes authentic Thai food

[maximmaxim]

I've recently chanced upon a Thai restaurant just opposite tiong bahru market next to 7-11 that serves what i regard as authentic tom yam soup.

tom yam soup is pretty much a family affair prepared with fresh herbs/spices together with any available meat.

it's truly different from any tom yam i've tried, each bowl is painstakingly prepared and not your usual scoop from a big pot of 'tom yam'

so what does authentic Thai food means to you?

[Theatre_of_Dreams]

the colour of the tom yum soup shud be clear and not red..

and it is more towards sour than spicy

[travmufc]

cheap and good...with lots of lemon grass, bean sprouts, ginger etc...

do you rec that thai restaurant? whats the name?

[Beta_Tester]

there one at central square.. dunno move to where liao.. they have their own brand of spice,and such.. very homely boss.. i eat until can otang one week pay once..lol..

whole kitchen run by thais.. the curry they dun premake it.. everything or almost everything on the spot make.

The tom yam they serve is really authentic, the soup is not the usual RED stuff you get but rather very light milky coloured soup, the common ingredients like lemon grass, red chilli padi are freshly added to prepare each bowl of tom yam. AND yes! the taste is slightly more sourish than spicy at first taste , but the longer you let the soup sit, the hotter it gets.

it's call Sabaaidee Thai cuisine, it's a family restaurant with Thai chef

layout: simple 'ikea' furnishing, full air-conditioned, ideal for meal with some good friends & family

tele: 62244992 (evening dinner can get really crowded between 630-830pm

price: regular eatery price between $4(eg. Thai fish cake) - $18(eg. steamed fish-sea bass)

other good stuff: green curry, olive fried rice, steam fish(value for money)

add: blk58 seng poh road, its opp tiong bahru market where the escalator is..its located next to 7-11

if i were to go for thai food in SG, i usually goes to Thai Express or Lemongrass..

but i frequent BKK, and the nearest that SG restaurants can match the authentic thai food is the above 2.
