A good Thai hawker stall is judged on balance, with sour, sweet, salty and spicy flavours that work together, and on whether the rice and noodles come out hot from the wok. Lemongrass steamed fish is best eaten soon after it leaves the steamer. Ordering a few dishes to share lets a table try more of the menu. Regulars often ask the stall which dish is cooking best that day and keep an eye on any change of name or owner.
Chinatown Complex is one of the city's best-known hawker centres, which makes this stall an easy choice for a Thai lunch while exploring the area.
