So you are craving for something Thai? Or maybe you just miss Bangkok? How about our own Golden Mile Complex? It is known as the “Little Thailand” of Singapore,  and it is a place where you can go to get the Thai feel with authentic Thai food and snacks.

What are some of the things that you can buy? Check it out.

Banana Fritters
There is a sensational store up at the second storey of Golden Mile just right outside the supermarket that sells banana fritters. These are comparable to the banana fritters that you can find in Bangkok and is definitely worth a visit. They are sold at $2 a pack so it is affordable as well.

Mama noodles
If you like Mama noodles from Bangkok, you can find it here in Golden Mile. The supermarket at the second floor houses a lot of imported Thai products at a reasonable price.

Thai Sauces for cooking
The supermarket also boasts a great variety of Thai sauces that you can buy off its shelves. There are fish sauce, chilli sauces and many other sauces that perhaps only the Thais will know. The sheer volume of the sauces will awe you as you glaze upon them.

Durian Candy
Do you love the durian soft candy that can only be found in Malaysia and Thailand? It can be found here at the supermarket. The soft chewy candy is imported from Thailand and sold here at a reasonable price.

Green Curry Paste
There are Thai authentic green curry paste that can be found here. The supermarket sells a great selection of different brands and you can try all of them if you are a green curry fan. We have tried one of the brands recommended by our Thai friends and it tasted superb.

Thai Fruits and Fresh Vegetables
There is also a selection of fresh fruits and vegetables all the way from Thailand. Here you can find some vegetables that you cannot get elsewhere and it proves to be a great learning journey for us when we visited the supermarket with our Thai friends.

Thai rice condiments
There are also condiments that are sold here. Many rice dishes in Thailand make use of condiments to make the food smell and taste better and these condiments are sold in the supermarket. These are usually packed in small packages and stock near to the fresh food section.

Thai Rice
You can consider buying your Thai rice here at Golden Mile instead of NTUC. The prices here are cheaper and features smaller Thai brands that are not found in our normal supermarket.

Authentic Thai Massage
You can “buy” an authentic Thai massage experience at about $40 an hour here. The experienced masseurs will knead all your stress and tiredness away for an hour. A note of caution here is that due to some of the sleazier activities found here, practise discretion and head to a clean salon for a massage or you might be asked if you would like “special service”.

Thai Food
What is an experience at Golden Mile without Thai food? You have to try the BeerThai House Restaurant hidden in a corner at the first level. This restaurant serves really good Thai food and is cooked by Thai chefs. The appealing thing about this place is that the servers can speak some English, which makes the ordering much easier.

We hope this will make you think of Golden Mile differently and visit the place for an experience that you will enjoy for sure.
