Folks Collective

Read about this interesting new place just last week and decided to pay a visit yesterday because of the decoration, the reasonably priced set lunches and also... I have been craving Thai food for the whole week!!! It is not too difficult to find Folks Collective, for it is just beside Sushi Tei. Both of us were really keen to try the set lunch but to our disappointment, the staff informed us when we were making our order that set lunches are only available on weekdays :( If that's the case, I think they should have 1) write that down on the set lunch page or 2) remove the set lunch page from the menu on weekend.

was really empty when we went on a Saturday afternoon

love all the natural light sip into this area

mismatch everywhere

pretty cushion

cozy area

our table made from an old sewing machine!

 In the end, we ordered our usuals! Pad Thai ($8.90), Siam-Style Fried Rice ($8.90), Clear Tom Yum Soup ($8.90) and Grilled Pork Neck + Dried Chili Dip ($7.90). Out of the 4, only the Pad Thai was really good. Boyfriend commented that the fried rice tasted like normal zichar fried rice, nothing special. Tom Yum Soup was filled with lemongrass taste and lack the spiciness that goes all the way to your stomach. As for the grilled pork neck, it was just way too tough and marination wasn't impressive. We also ordered Lemongrass with Honey and Thai Iced Milk Tea, both were good :)

happy boy cos it is SATURDAY!!!

my iced milk tea

i love pad thai, it is no secret

 

 

the very tough pork neck :((

doesn't look like tom yum soup huh?

The food is nothing impressive and there are many other much more affordable Thai food out there like Ah Loy Thai or Thai Gold Food. I may not come back if I am just craving for Thai food but it will make a very nice place to chill with friends. There are many alcohol available so, why not come here for a chill-out night? It is really hard to miss this place because the shop front is just as interesting as the shop itself.
