Bite Into Delicious Bites @ Bangkok Bites, Singapore
As the number of neighborhood Thai eateries increases, it becomes increasingly convenient to satisfy your Thai food cravings without the need to jet off to Bangkok.
For residents in the Queenstown area, Bangkok Bites is conveniently located on Strathmore Avenue, right at the heart of the community.
Despite its presence, this Thai eatery remains relatively under-the-radar, with scarce mentions on food blogs.
Bangkok Bites adopts a theme of casual, no-fuss dining. This translates into a modest interior, characterized by plain walls and popular faux-wood tables, though they do boast a pleasant bar counter.
The restaurant occupies three units, offering a decent amount of space. However, during peak dinner hours, it can get rather crowded, thanks to its growing reputation through word-of-mouth.
True to the Thai dining experience, the menu predominantly features family-style dishes meant for sharing. You’ll find a wide range of familiar favorites, including soups, curries, vegetables, and various meat and seafood stir-fries
Thai Lemongrass Tea $3
This tea is strong, which is good. The lemongrass flavour definitely comes through. I went to another affordable Thai eatery and all their food, desserts and drinks are all watered down.
Thai Red Milk Tea $3
This tea was strong too, and very delicious. You can taste the mild cooling bitterness of the tea which was exactly what I was looking for.

The portion size was substantial, making it an ideal choice for sharing among friends or family. The dish’s value for money was evident, considering the quality of the ingredients and the delectable taste it offered.

The sauce used for stir-frying was a masterpiece on its own. It was a harmonious blend of savory and umami flavors, which complemented the natural tastes of the vegetables and mushrooms without overpowering them. The overall balance of the dish was exceptional.
Portion-wise, it was just right, offering a satisfying portion for one person or as a delightful side dish for sharing. Considering the quality of ingredients and the delightful taste, the price of $11.80 felt like a steal.
