Bedok Point gets a new addition of authentic Thai-Chinese food from Khun Mee Thai
Who would have thought authentic Thai-Chinese food could be found in the heartlands of Bedok Point? One would think the unofficial ‘Little Thailand’ at the Golden Mile Complex would be the place to visit for Thai food, but I think I’m going to start going to Khun Mee Thai instead.
Specialising in Thai-Chinese street food, Khun Mee Thai serves staples such as Thai wanton noodles, green curry, fried chicken skin, and cartilage.
Springy Noodles
The noodles, or ‘ba mee’, from Khun Mee Thai are specifically made in a factory here to ensure premium quality egg noodles with little alkali taste. My favourite was the Ba Mee Kiao, ($5.80-$8.80), egg noodles with wantons, charsu, and lava egg. The dry version of the noodles is tossed in garlic oil and lard, with a generous spoonful of crispy lard bits on the top.
Super sinful, but super good! The accompanying soup is flavourful pork bones and pepper, much like bak kut teh. If you’re a fan of Thai green curry, try the Ba Mee Kang Keaw Wan Gai ($9.80), which has egg noodles in chicken green curry.
Hitting the Streets
Dishes such as Kha Moo ($8.80) with braised pork leg, is also available. The homemade chilli vinaigrette that comes with the dish gives it a more-ish quality that left me hankering for more. Sharing plates such as Nang Kai Tod ($4.80) with fried chicken skin and Moo Daet Daew ($6.80) with fried sun-dried pork are also available.
The fried chicken skin has most of its fat removed from the skin before deep-frying. This makes it a little more guilt-free, or so we hope.
If you live in Bedok, you have a gem in your midst. Go before it gets too crowded!
