This place is surprisingly full at 1.45pm on a weekday, given that it is not in a popular location and away from the main street.

There is a lunch set which includes a hot drink at the a la carte price. It seems popular, as those around me have ordered from this lunch set menu.

I order the Beef Boat Noodles ($48) and added $3 for a cold Thai Iced Milk Tea.

The noodles came quickly, and sadly, appeared to be a rather small portion. I mixed it around a bit, and was a bit disappointed already even before I had tasted it. The taste of the soup is good, with balanced flavours and a nice zing of sourness, which it really needed because the only condiments on offer were thai chilli flakes, plain fish sauce, ordinary white sugar and, conspicuously, no vinegar or fresh cut chilli. The bowl contained several beef balls, as well as a decent heap of sliced beef, which was probably the highlight of the dish.

The lowlight was the rice noodles. They were soft and soggy, and had already broken into pieces at first bite. In the end, I had to scoop them up to eat with the spoon. Had these been proper Thai rice noodles, the texture probably would have held up a bit better in the soup, but unfortunately, these fresh rice noodles had just simply been overcooked.

The iced tea was refreshing, sweet and strong (as well as being typically bright orange in colour), just how I expected it to be. Almost sickly sweet, but that's my bad for not ordering less sugar.

Overall, underwhelming. Not sure if I would give this place another chance given the other great Thai eateries already in this area. But seeing the stream of customers trickle in during my visit gave me doubt. Was it just one bad noodle today? Perhaps their other dishes are worth trying? Who knows, maybe another time.
