Charen Thai Food

Went there on Friday evening for takeaway, took us 15mins for our food. Uncle who took my order was courteous. Portion is super generous especially the fried rice. Tom Yam is flavorful, prawn cake with the sweet chilli dip is chewy and addictive, onion omelette brings you back to Bangkok. Great experience overall, highly recommended.

Recommended by friend so we came to check this Thai food out last weekend. Located within a coffeeshop, food/drinks is affordable and we don't need to queue so that's wonderful for me. Food is great! We like their garlic pork most. It's nicely fried on the outside and tender soft on the inside. Green curry was good and chicken was nicely cooked but nothing to shout about. I think most thai places do this well. Wife has a special liking for Basil pork so it's a must-order for all thai food joints we go to. Charen Thai's basil pork portion is generous but we would much preferred a stronger flavour for this dish. The other dish I secretly appreciate was the Thai fish cake. Typically at thai food joints, we have to fight for that 4 pieces...and needless to say, the kids took most of them. here, we at least get to have enough to go around. Would recommend if you are looking for a decent tasty Thai food in hougang area that's affordable AND like me, hates those long queue ;)
