Fatty Thai

This place might already be on your list, but to the blissfully unaware, this little gem tucked in a corner of a rundown coffee shop along Beach Road is one that cannot be missed.

This little bowl of goodness is similar to the famous Soi 19 Thai Wanton Mee in Bangkok. Much like theirs, it looks deceptively simple: The noodles have no colour and there’s hardly any sauce at the bottom. But the magic lies in their lard oil, and the complementary fried lard.

Note: Some of the seats are out in the sun, so remember to bring tissues and ample sunscreen!
