Did dinner here on a whim and was pretty happy with the way it turned out. Had their oozy chicken (salted egg sauce chicken) and really liked the texture of it. The Tom Yum pasta was nicely portioned and had three halves of (small) lobsters in it. It was a bit weird eating spaghetti like soup noodles on Tom Yum soup, but it worked OK. Overall, it hit the spot but I felt that the taste could have been stronger. Staff and prices are ok. Worth a try.

Som Tam @ Orchard Central serves modern Thai Food that is tasty and delicious. East meets West through the Salmon Tom Yum Pasta, which is served spicy with Angel Hair Spaghetti. Wasn't too bad, but expected more. The Olive and Chicken Fried Rice was absolutely delicious with chicken cubes, raw onions and roasted cashew nuts. The Tom Yum Kang soup came with three small portions of cray fish. Soup appeared to be slightly milky and tasted sweeter then expected. Thought it would have been better if Tom Yum soup was clearer. The Deep Fried Tom Yum Soft Shell Crab served with spicy sweet sauce was fabulous even though we couldn't taste the Tom Yum on the crab. Must have been all the taste of the other food blended up. Staffs were friendly and efficient. Food was served pretty quick.
