10mins walk from Exit D of Tanjong Pagar MRT, Angkor Wat is a hidden gem for authentic Thai food. The boss of the restaurant is a young hunky chap by the name of Joe. We were late for our Eatigo reservation and he was kind enough to counter offer the next available timing discount to us.
All ala-carte food menu is entitled for 30% discount for 7pm reservation. Most of the dishes are priced at $6 to $6.90. We ordered 4 of their recommended dishes:
1. Crispy pork belly rice with egg ($6.90) - crispy Thai pork belly accompanied with sunny side up egg and rice. The pork belly wasn't too fatty and was not porky. Enjoyed it with their special chilli dip. Rating: 4/5
2. Tom yum mama ($6.90) - this is a highly recommended dish for tom yum soup lovers. Maggi mee in special tom yum stock which was thick, sour and spicy. Simply love the combination and it was generously cooked with seafood, mushrooms and vegetables. Really 1 of the best tom yum eaten! Rating: 4.4/5
3. Tofu Tod ($6) - crispy fried tofu pieces with peanut sauce. Nothing too fantastic about this dish. Wish the tofu texture could be softer and smoother. Rating: 3.8/5
4. Cashew chicken ($6) - very fragrantly fried chicken strips with spring onions and bell peppers in the dark sauce. It was missing the cashew nuts unfortunately due to a new chef in replacement of the actual chef. But taste wise was excellent. Rating: 4.1/5
The restaurant has no service charge and GST. Would highly recommend this restaurant for lunch or dinner given the wonderful food and reasonable price even without the discount. We will be back again to try the rest of the dishes.
