I used to eat at First Thai 5-6 years ago, several times a week in fact.

Food was tops and the staff was really friendly. The mood was relaxed and you could eat like a king on a reasonable budget.

But the standard really plunged. Portions became tiny, the queues got longer, and the staff became really rude and surly. Some of the items are still v good, but I don’t think it’s worth the hassle and prices.

I am a huge fan of Thai food, but sad to know I could no longer eat here.

Actually I prefer Jai Thai next door. First Thai is more ex compared to Jai Thai and Jai Thai’s taste feels more authentic to me though..

I quite like the olive rice, despite being a fan of pineapple rice.It has this special twang about it, and I couldn’t find any other thai places that serves similar yummy olive rice except for Sawadee Thai Cuisine at Sembawang. And remember to draw enough cash as they don’t accept credit cards nor nets. Oh , but then again ,I haven’t been there for a year, maybe they have them now =)

A pity you didn’t get to try the steamed fish! It’s really huge so its good for groups above 4 persons. It comes in a really huge dish (the whole fish of course) and the one time I’ve tried it it was not overcooked (rare occurrence).

For lunch, my lunch buddy used to swear by the duck noodle. Very tasty.

This place has lots to offer and sights and smells does take you back to Thailand.
