Limau Thai Kitchen Review: XXL Muslim-Friendly Thai Basil Chicken Rice And Seafood Tom Yum At Woodlands

So when I learnt that a new Thai hawker stall had opened in the North, I was excited to give them a try. Limau Thai Kitchen is essentially a Muslim-friendly version of Im Thai Kitchen , known for their large portions of Thai food.

As well run by the same Thai immigrants, Limau Thai Kitchen offers a menu similar to that of their non-halal counterpart, with the addition of some new dishes. Food at Limau Thai Kitchen The first thing we had to try was definitely the Giant Basil Minced Chicken Rice & Omelette (from $15.90) .

A generous mountain of rice blanketed with minced chicken reached us, served on a huge 40cm plate. We were impressed by the sheer size of the dish even though it was the smallest portion available.

While we forecast the spicy aroma and peppery taste from Thai holy basil, the meat was instead distinctly sweet with a hint of pepperiness. In fact, there was also a fresh and sweet fragrance from the minced chicken. It seems that sweet basil was used to give the minced chicken a pleasantly sweet and refreshing taste, instead of the usual peppery taste from other basil choices.

The rice in addition shared the same sweet aroma from the minced chicken. A huge omelette was served as well, and we tore it apart with ease to reveal a fluffy interior.

Despite the large size of the omelette, it was airy and soft, making it easy to eat. Impressed by the size of their XXL basil chicken rice, we decided to continue to try another huge-sized dish.

Thus, we had the Giant Mama Seafood Tom Yum ($15.90) , served piping hot in a large bowl. The seafood tom yum also came with a huge bunch of springy instant noodles submerged in the thick broth.

Seeking a break from the XXL carbs, we decided to try the Deep Fried Sliced Beef With Garlic (from $10) . Ambience at Limau Thai Kitchen Buried deep in Woodlands, Limau Thai Kitchen is rather inaccessible, requiring a 10-minute bus ride from Sembawang MRT Station. The verdict Limau Thai Kitchen has an extensive menu with a variety of reasonably priced items.

Their XXL items are definitely well-worth your money, with the basil chicken rice being my personal favourite. If you prefer to enjoy your fix of Thai food in the comfort of your home, do check out our list of Thai food delivery places .
