Hole-in-the-wall, Golden Mile Complex (Singapore)

Since I haven't been to Thailand since age 9, coming here to the Golden Mile Complex, the famed little Thailand in Singapore, is probably the closest I'm getting to authentic Thai (street) food.

This plate of mango salad turned out fantastically spicy and refreshing. I really like those dried shrimp on top too. It came on a pool of liquid which was really yum- wanted to drink it up with a spoon.

We also got what they called 'thai laksa'. It really was some thin white noodle in a clear spicy broth and 3 frozen fishballs. I was lamenting how overpriced it was at $4, until I got done with mine and saw people eating theirs by helping themselves to random herbs and vegetables on the table and topping up their noodle dish with it. Pfft. You'd think they'd tell us.

Verdict? I'd still brave the dodgy mall and come back for the mango salad if I'm in the area. Adventurous people should attempt their raw crab mango salad. Those salted, black (raw, remember?) bad boys were clobbered up and mixed right into the salad. (Yuckk.)
