Joe's Kitchen Thai Cuisine

Yo! My name is Joe,
and I work in a button factory.

The Joe in question here is the one found in Joe's Kitchen. On the recommended by Geraldine who likes the idea of this blog, we decided to pay a visit to one of her lunch-hour haunts.

This Thai food outlet is located along Alexandra Road, directly opposite Queensway Shopping Centre. The signboard, in bright orange, draws your attention, and only later am I reminded of the orange colour of its tom yam soup. The bright colour contrasts nicely with the brown wooden tables and chairs inside.


Its main attraction on the menu for the budget couple that we are is the $1.50 pineapple rice. The portion is large enough not to let you go hungry later. But it's not meant to be eaten alone.

Other items on the menu that are worth trying are the Thai prawn cake (with real prawn!) for $2.30 each (a bit expensive, but worth a try), crispy seafood tofu which are $5 for six pieces, and the home-made brewed barley (not the cordial type) for $1.20. We were kind of hungry, so we started eating before remembering to take a photo of what we ordered:


We came here on a Sunday evening, just after the evening shift (5-10pm) began, looking for an early dinner. By the time we left a short while later, it was already half full. My guess is that it's quite popular for the working crowd in the area, so the lunch shift (11am -3pm) should find the place pretty crowded.

We recommend making a trip here if you're visiting IKEA to walk around or are going to the Henderson Waves for the bridge walk. It's air-conditioned, so feel free to sit as long as you like.

The address of Joe's Kichen is:
Blk 125 Bukit Merah Lane 1, #01-182, S150125

It is on the side of the block closer to AIA building, along the main road. Not difficult to find.

It is open every day at the abovementioned times.

Did we mention that this eatery is recommended by King Of Thrift as well?


Give it a try if you're in the area. Thanks for the tip, Geraldine!
