Thai Boat Noodle - $1 Thai Boat Noodles At Bedok Point Food at Thai Boat Noodles The first thought that ran through my mind when I saw these was, “Boy, they weren’t kidding when they said they serve mini boat noodles”.

Traditionally, Thai boat noodles came in small portions as they were served on moving boats. Since they have a few options on the menu, you can as well try all of them to see which you enjoy best. All the Thai boat noodle dishes are made with a small portion of springy rice noodles.

Try to mix them into the sauce as soon as possible before the noodles get too dry and stiff. Mini Boat Noodle Dry ($1+) came with a pork ball and a dark, savoury sauce.

The dish as well came with chopped peanuts, which I thought were quite out of place. Since the portions were small, the amount of chopped peanuts given was too generous and overpowered the other flavours in the dish.

I preferred Mini Boat Noodle Soup ($1+) as the flavours were more balanced. This dish was similar to the dry version, only that it came with beef broth instead, as well as a slice of beef and some bean sprouts.

Those of you who enjoy a spicy kick should get a couple of their Mini Tom Yum ($1.50+) bowls. This was the most satisfying of the lot as the noodles came with a piece of straw mushroom, a fresh prawn and a slice of fish. If that’s not enough to satiate your need for spicy food, they also offer Tom Yam Seafood Hot Pot ($14.80+) .

The tom yum broth was much more spicy and potent compared to the noodle version. The ka moo from Thai Boat Noodle was so tender that it did not cling to the bone and could be pulled apart without any effort.

The braised vegetables and boiled egg that came with the dish went well with the flavourful sauce and reminded me of Chinese-style cookery. We ended the meal with Thai Sago with Coconut Milk , but you can go for ice-cream if you prefer a cold dessert. At first, I was quite surprised that the coconut milk was slightly savoury, but it mellowed out a couple of spoonfuls later.

The verdict Overall, Thai Boat Noodle is great for a quick, affordable Thai food fix.
