Thai food always hits the spot – spicy, tangy and hearty. If you’ve been craving a satisfying Thai meal that won’t break the bank, Khao Kaeng — a newly opened restaurant at 552 MacPherson Road — might just become your next go-to.
Just a 3-minute walk from MacPherson MRT, the authentic Thai restaurant is offering a limited-time $8 NETT lunch promotion, available daily from 11am to 3pm. You can pick from eight classic Thai dishes: Think basil pork with rice, tomyum soup, green curry, and pad si ew. You’ll even get a free drink!
Run by a single mum from the country’s northeast Isan region, and helmed by a chef from the south, Khao Kaeng is one of the few restaurants in Singapore that brings together the best of two Thai regions – combining the rich, tangy flavours of Northeast Thailand with the fiery, herbaceous kick of Southern Thai cuisine.
If you’re dining with company or feeling extra hungry, you might also want to try their Special South+Esan Seafood Tomyum soup – it is usually priced at $28, but now going for just $8 if you spend a minimum of $50. This rich and ingredient-packed soup is great for sharing, and a comforting add-on to any meal.
Working from home? You’ll be glad to know that Khao Kaeng is also available on food delivery apps like GrabFood and foodpanda and can deliver as long as you’re in range. Out of range? They also offer islandwide delivery — just give them a call at 9107 0159 to place your order.
Whether you’re working nearby or looking for a midday meal worth the detour, Khao Kaeng is worth noting down on your to-visit list.
Opening hours: Tues-Sun, 11am-10pm
Address: 552 MacPherson Rd, Singapore 368229
