If you ever find yourself craving Thai food for supper, look no further than to Time For Thai. Located along the bustling, eatery-laden Cheong Chin Nam Road, this humble eatery specialises in Thai dishes. From the humble Papaya Salad to a myriad of full-on mains that are bound to satisfy even the most specific of cravings.
Time for Thai’s dishes are a hit, with people claiming their food to be as close to the real deal. But besides their bountiful array of savouries, they also serve up a mean selection of desserts as well. Setting our sights (or rather our taste buds) on something sweet for a change, that’s exactly what we went for during our visit.
Dough Fritters with Sangkaya
A twist on the classic Thai Sangkhaya, Time for Thai’s Dough Fritters with Sangkaya (S$4.90) is one that truly impressed. Thai Sangkhaya is basically a dessert comprising steamed white bread dipped in smooth pandan-coconut custard.
Leaning toward local accents, their version swops out the steam bread with crispy fried dough fritters (you tiao) instead, and by god was the combination addictive as heck.
The dough fritters were crispy with a dense, but moist eggy centre that resembled that of churros. The lime-green pandan-infused coconut cream was smooth, fragrant and rich and served as the perfect complement to the piping-hot fritters.
Mango Sticky Rice
Time for Thai’s Mango Sticky Rice (S$5.90) is a decadent mess. Sticky rice drizzled with sweetened coconut milk and topped with ripe mango which they get directly from Thailand itself. The chunks of mango were sweet—almost comparable to candy—, pairing very well with the somewhat savoury-sweet coconut cream that was just pure luscious decadence. It comes topped with flecks of crispy rice which provide an interesting texture.
Iced Nom Yen
Known adorably by the local tongue as ‘Thai Pinky Milk’ their version of Iced Nom Yen (S$3) is pretty authentic. For the uninitiated, Nom Yen is a Thai beverage made from Sala syrup and a mixture of fresh and condensed milk.
Creamy, tooth-achingly sweet with a floral aftertaste, you can consider this magenta-coloured drink as an alternative to thai milk tea.
