The comfort of a classic Pad Thai at KITCHAI

Surrounded by hanging gardens and good vibes, KITCHAI is the go-to place for seriously tasty Halal Thai food. One dish that truly captures the essence of Thai cuisine here is the signature Pad Thai. Nutty, aromatic and flavourful, it is the kind of bowl you keep coming back to.

Here is what makes KITCHAI’s Pad Thai one of the best vegetarian dishes at Ed.Square:

• Why it’s a favourite: Let’s begin with how simply the dish integrates complex flavours. Pad Thai is the perfect balance of savoury, tangy and finished with a gentle sweetness from tamarind — pure comfort in a bowl.
• The dish: Classic thin rice noodles are stir-fried with bean sprouts and vegetables in a house-made tamarind sauce that delivers flavour without feeling overly heavy. You can also add your choice of protein for added nutrition (and, of course, flavour!)
• Pro-tip: Given KITCHAI’s generous portions and shared plates, the Pad Thai is great for sharing. But honestly, you’ll probably want the whole thing to yourself.
