The Original Boat Noodles, owned by Singaporean singer, JJ Lin’s background singer or former superstar Ang Jun Yang, has opened its 2nd outlet at Bugis Junction. Since the opening of its first outlet at Changi City Point, it has drawn the attention of many fans and bloggers, singing praises of the unique taste of Thai Boat Noodles and dining concept.
At The Original Boat Noodles, the main highlight will definitely be the iconic Thai Boat Noodles which comes in three different broths - Pathumthani ,Ayutthaya , Creamy Tom Yum, and diners can choose between rice noodles or springy noodles (maggie noodles). Some local Thai sides such as Stir-Fried Kang Kong, Som Tum, Chicken Wings are available to complement your mains.
Boat Noodles (Pathumthani, Ayutthaya & Creamy Tom Yum) – $1.50 each
The Thai Boat Noodles come in 3 different flavours - Pathumthani, Ayutthaya, Creamy Tom Yum. Diners can choose from 2 types of noodles - Rice Noodles or Springy Noodles, with main ingredient - Chicken or Beef.
Served in small portion, the Boat Noodles are meant to be slurped down in a single mouth. Hence, this is the reason why the brand wants to create a unique dining experience of Eat, Stack and Repeat! Diners are often seen ordering numerous bowls of boat noodles and creating their own stack of bowls towering high up on the table.
Pathumthani
Broth made of dark soy sauce, with a mix of spicy and sourish flavour. It is made from 19 different types of herbs and five spice powder, star anise and cinnamon. The broth goes well with rice noodles andis pretty light on the tongue, making it easy to slurp at one go.
Ayutthaya
Not many know how to fully appreciate the intense creamy flavour that comes from the dark-coloured broth. Made with more than 10 herbs giving rise to a prominent taste of complexity. Due to the thickness of the broth, the milky taste is more consistent and has a heavier body to allow diners to savour its flavours slowly.
Creamy Tom Yum
The balance of sweet and spiciness from this broth is good with a strong milky aftertaste. Fans of Tom Yum would definitely go for a bigger bowl if ever possibly introduced in the menu in the near future. One bowl is just too little to fully appreciate the depth of the Tom Yum broth.
Side Dishes
Crispy Som Tum ($4.80)
This side is not only worth to order and you may find yourself going for 2nd round. Made with shredded papaya, it is then deeply fried in egg flour to produce a golden brown crispy texture. Som Tum is so addictive which kept us munching non-stop. It also comes with a dipping sauce, which consists of a mixture of peanuts and tomato, giving it an extra spicy, sweet and sour flavour to the dish.
Stir-Fried Kang Kong ($4.80)
The generous portion of Kang Kong go very well with the noodles. It resets the taste of the intense flavour from each broth and is refreshingly crunchy at every bite.
Cha Yen / Thai Milk Tea ($3.90)
The Thai Milk Tea is not pre-made but prepared individually from authentic brew using tea leaves. No powder ingredients is added into this beverage. This drink is heavily milky and sweet to appeal to fans of all ages.
Overall, we will definitely visit The Original Boat Noodles again to stack more bowls of boat noodles. We look forward to trying other interesting sides such as Crunchy Thai Popeye’s Tempura ($3.80) and Flame Grilled Ayam Legend ($8.80). We greatly appreciated the dedication they had in making the dishes filled with authentic Thai flavours.
