No one really knows why or where Thailand got its nickname, ‘The Land Of Smiles’, but we like to believe that one of the main reasons is their local delicacies.

Thai cuisine is renowned for its distinctive flavours which heavily relies on four fundamental tastes: sour, sweet, salty, and spicy. Whether it’s a bowl of tom yum soup, green curry, pad thai or simply a mango sticky rice dessert, you are bound to be left extremely satisfied.

Anytime is a good time for some tasty and affordable Thai food so here is our list of affordable Thai eateries in Singapore.

AH LOY THAI

A bustling Thai food haven along Tan Quee La Street, Ah Loy Thai is an institution that has captured the hearts of many. We like that prices are kept affordable for the masses and their small menu allows them to dish out food of exceptional quality every time.

Their Butter Calamari is one of their signature dishes and for good reason. The dish is deep-fried to a light, golden crisp and coated with a spiced butter that oozes the most intense umami flavour ever.

AROY DEE THAI KITCHEN

Popular among the nightlife crowd for being one of the only Thai eateries around that opens until 6am, Aroy Dee Thai Kitchen on Middle Road does tantalising classics from pineapple rice to a good old, lip-burning tom yum soup.

These people don’t mess around when it comes to spice so it would probably do you good if you tell the staff to go easy on the spice when you order.

FIRST THAI RESTAURANT

JAI THAI RESTAURANT

Located a stone’s throw away from First Thai, Jai Thai at Purvis Street is a perennial favourite whenever we find ourselves at Bugis or craving for Thai food in general. Cheap and good sounds overrated, but it describes exactly what dining at this humble restaurant entails.

KIN MOO

KinMoo is a Thai eatery that has been gaining a steady reputation for their mouthwatering and inexpensive Thai food among the locals and the Thai community in Singapore as well.

If there is one dish on their menu you have to try, it would be their signature, Thai Wanton Mee—springy, eggy and given a severely unhealthy dose of deep-fried pork lard.

THAI TANTRIC

Thai Tantric at Orchard Towers is our all-time favourite Thai restaurants in Singapore. It is not a fancy restaurant but boy is their food legit.

What makes this no-frills eatery a place we constantly return to is its inexpensive menu and its insanely delicious Thai fare. Their Steamed Seabass in Thai Sauce is stellar but if you decide to visit alone, then the Pineapple Fried Rice with Floss should set you up just right.

You will have to brave the unwanted attention in Orchard Towers to get to Thai Tantric, but trust us, it is definitely worth the trip.

THE ORIGINAL BOAT NOODLE

If you ever find yourself craving authentic Thai boat noodles or Thai street fare in general, then allow The Original Boat Noodle over at Changi City Point to be your guiding light towards all things rustic and delicious.

Their boat noodle selection is limited to two classic flavours but, make no mistake that by the end of your meal, you’ll probably be shocked by the number of bowls you have towering over your table.

Other than the classic Thai boat noodle, this humble Thai eatery also offers a range of delicious and affordable Thai dishes including Kra Pow Chicken Rice (S$8.80) and Som Tam Thai (S$4.80).

TIEW MAI THAI BOAT NOODLES

Serving up hearty bowls of Thai Boat noodles that come in various flavours, Tiew Mai Boat Noodles is one place you should definitely check out.

As far as Thai boat noodles are concerned, their menu consists of three types of soup bases (Pork/Beef/Tom Yum) with a variety of noodles for you to choose from. The Beef Thai Boat Noodles here comes with generous helpings of beef slices and beef balls.

SOI 19 THAI WANTON MEE

To satisfy your craving for authentic Thai-style wanton mee, your best bet would be to pay Soi 19 Wanton Mee a visit. Two main dishes take centre stage here—their Thai-style wanton mee and pig trotter rice.

A bowl of wanton mee begins at S$4 right up to S$6—which might seem pretty hefty—but it definitely beats the price of an air ticket.

Thai food fans, HANDS UP! Let us all celebrate our love for spicy and fiery flavours. Thai Food is always and forever food for the soul, and a good Thai meal does wonders. Expect nothing short of a spectrum of contrasting flavours that tickle our taste buds – sweet, sour, spicy, very spicy, and very very spicy.

Heck, even the spiciness levels have different kicks to it, and we are definitely loving it! Bring us all the Phad Thai, Tom Yum and Green Curry please.

Thai food need not be expensive. In fact, they are supposed to be economical, and the idea is to order a whole table of dishes for communal enjoyment.

Here, we share with you 11 Affordable Thai Restaurants in Singapore:

AROY DEE THAI KITCHEN

Aroy Dee Thai Kitchen used to be at Sunshine Plaza but it has since moved to a new shop diagonally across on Middle Road.

The Steamed Seabass in Thai Sauce (S$28) is pretty decent, but we prefer the one from Thai Tantric (read #10 below).

You can get the classic Thai dishes such as Green Curry Chicken (S$10) Tom Yum Talay (S$10), Som Tum (S$7). But the Pineapple Fried Rice with Chicken Floss (S$6.50) is a must-order dish here.

A neighbour to First Thai – and a better one at that – Jai Thai is a perennial favourite whenever we find ourselves at Bugis. Cheap and good sounds overrated, but it describes exactly every dining experience at Jai Thai.

JANE THAI RESTAURANT

Orchard Towers is definitely not the best place to step in to, but if any, we would go there for Jane Thai. Sleazy as the building may be, any time is a good time for Thai food here.

THAIEXPRESS

Quite contrary to “popular beliefs”, ThaiExpress is not a fast food chain. It is a restaurant chain, yes, but its casual dining style is what makes the household brand so popular and affordable.

The chefs here take their Thai food very seriously, and the kitchen is kept busy all day through because every item that is served on the table is prepared in-house with fresh ingredients and homemade sauces – cooked to order in each kitchen daily.

ThaiExpress has launched 3 brand new Sanook Sets which are priced not more than S$10.90++. Our favourite is the Sweet Chilli Fish Set (S$9.90++) which comes with Jasmine rice, Tom Kha Mushroom Soup, and Sweet Potato with Ginger Slice Dessert.

Which is your favourite Thai Restaurant in Singapore? Enjoy your Pad Thai, Tom Yam Soup, and Green Curry!

There are many options for Thai Food in Singapore, and Ah Loy Thai restaurant is definitely one of the best when it comes to cheap and good Thai Food.

Even though Ah Loy Thai does not have nice ambiance like the other Thai fine dining restaurants, it serves good Thai food at very affordable prices. We are talking about $5-10 for most of the items on their menu (plus they don’t have GST and service charge). The prices here are even cheaper than some of the Thai Eateries at Golden Mile Complex.

Is a $15 plate of Phat Thai in a nice Thai restaurant really three times better than a $5.50 one from A-Roy Thai’s? No, you are merely paying for the rental, wages, and of course ambiance. In any case, Ah Loy Thai’s Phad Thai was good, but I preferred the one from Diandin Leluk Thai Restaurant.

I had wanted to visit A-roy Thai for a long time as my friends had been raving about their cheap and good Thai food. One of them repeatedly emphasised that Ah Loy Thai has the best calamari in Singapore. With that in mind, I had to order the Fried Calamari ($6.40) when I was there for lunch recently.

I am not sure if it was a case of high expectations, but the calamari did not wow me. Don’t get me wrong, they were fresh and tasty, but not out-of-this-world good.

On the other hand, I would certainly recommend Ah Loy Thai’s Pineapple Rice ($5.50). If you are working nearby and want to have a quick lunch, go for the Pad Thai or Pineapple rice.

There were many items that we wanted to order from Ah Loy Thai Restaurant‘s menu. It was a tough choice between the Tom Yam Soup, Thai Mango Salad and Green Curry. In the end, we decided to have the Green Curry ($6) and save the other dishes for the next visit.

I am sure there are many of you who are big fans of A-Roy Thai, but at the same time, this is probably one of the best kept secret restaurants for most people. Ah Loy Thai at Shaw Leisure Gallery is definitely the place if you are looking for a nice Thai Restaurant to satisfy your Pad Thai and Tom Yam Soup cravings.

Golden Mile Complex is known as the Little Thailand in Singapore, and I’ve heard a lot about the Thai Food there.

Now, I have no idea how my craving system operates, but it was calling out for Thai Food that day, so we decided to check out Dindin Leluk Thai Restaurant at Golden Mile Complex.

Diandin Leluk Thai Restaurant has a comprehensive menu and it took us a while before ordering the Phat Thai ($4), Thai Mango Salad ($6), and Green Curry Chicken ($10).

I like Pad Thai. Other than the fact that it is a must-order dish whenever I eat in Thai Restaurants, a good Pad Thai is also very tasty and often reminds me of Char Kway Teow. I know the association doesn’t make any sense, but it makes me happy just by thinking of Char Kway Teow and Pad Thai.

In any case you are wondering, the Phat Thai from Diandin Leluk Thai Restaurant is very good, in fact, I preferred it to the one that I had at Ah Loy Thai. When it comes to Phat Thai, I like it slightly sweet, with a generous helping of raw bean-sprouts and crunchy peanut. With an extra wedge of lime, the Phat Thai is easily one of the most satisfying Thai dishes.

For starters, we had the Thai Mango Salad, which was a very good appetiser with the perfect combination of sweet and sour – simply addictive, you just can’t stop eating it.

I normally like Red Curry, but I had a random craving that day, so we opted for Diandin Leluk Thai Restaurant’s Green Curry Chicken instead. The coconut milk taste was very distinctive and rich, but not too overwhelming – an excellent dish to eat with white rice.

Thai food may not be my favourite cuisine since I cannot take spicy food very well, but it really hits the spot with the contrasting flavours. I’m going to explore more Thai Restaurants in Singapore, so please share with us if you have any recommendations for good Thai food.

I know Golden Mile Complex may seems a little dodgy, but really the place is very decent. Go with a group of friends and enjoy the Thai cuisine at Diandin Leluk Thai Restaurant.
