Siamese Cat Review: New Thai Cafe That Took Over Some Tuk Tuk Cha Outlets

Due to a partnership fall out, the boss of Siamese Cat, Ms May Ngiam, converted some Tuk Tuk Cha outlets into her own brand. I checked out the new cafe to see if it’s better than what it was before.

Food at Siamese Cat We began our meal with these drinks: Passionfruit Butterfly Pea ($3/$3.50) , Avocado Coco ($5.50/$6.70) , and the all-time classic, Iced Thai Milk Tea ($2.80/$3.30) . It acted as a palate cleanser, which is great when having a Thai meal as the dishes usually have stronger flavours.

Don’t make the same mistake as us and let your phone “eat” for too long; the noodles will clump together if you allow it too cool down over a long period of time. My colleague and I couldn’t decide which bowl of noodles to get, so we got one of every mini noodle bowl there is: Mini Chicken Noodle ($1.90) , Mini Tom Yam Noodle ($1.90) , and Mini Beef Noodle ($1.90) .

It was a delight lapping up the herby broth, and I was sad to see it all gone. The beef slices were tender and the noodles were so silky smooth, it took no effort to slurp it all up.

The Mini Chicken Noodles had a lighter savour and the Mini Tom Yam Noodle was missing something I couldn’t really put my finger on; it just wasn’t as spicy or sour as I wished. I’m not into matcha desserts, so when the Matcha Shibuya ($11.20) arrived, I didn’t share the same excitement as my matcha-loving colleague. Biting into the toast, I was met with the bread’s crisp exterior and then its soft, fluffy inside, which soaked up the matcha ice-cream.

The sweetness of the azuki beans paired with the bittersweet matcha teased my taste buds and got me hooked on this dessert. Plus, they are super generous with their toppings, the dessert was overflowing with red beans and ice-cream! Do share it with a friend or two if you are looking to try other dishes, as it is very filling.

You’d be shocked to know that the folks at Siamese Cat churn half-cooked egg yolk into coconut ice-cream. While the yolk added a certain richness to the refreshing coconut ice-cream, the dessert still tasted prominently like coconut!

Ambience at Siamese Cat Siamese Cat has taken over the Tuk Tuk Cha outlets at Suntec City (Tower 3), Causeway Point, and Novena Square. The latter is very cosy and great for a catch-up with a friend, or even some alone time with a good drink! It may get slightly crowded during meal times, as they have a lunch set that starts at $9.80 for a drink, a main, and mango salad.

The verdict Siamese Cat is a place I would go to for sweet drinks and desserts.
