Golden Mile’s Thai Supermarket at Aperia Mall

Fried Banana

That big Thai/Vietnamese supermarket from Golden Mile has finally opened at Aperia Mall, and there are some food stalls alongside it. A fried banana and yam chip place called Talad Thai Banana has been getting a lot of attention with long lines of people waiting for them to be fried in batches. The fritters were pretty good when hot from the fryer, especially with those gooey sweet bananas sitting inside that crispy greasy batter.

Chiang Rai noodles and mango sticky rice

There were a few other stalls too, like one called Thai Yum Mee (get it?) doing things like those Chiang Rai noodles above, as well as yum salads and skewers. The pork topping on those noodles carried a good hit of ginger, and the chili was more potent than it looked, but I preferred the Yaowarat-style buns from the Yung Yung stall next door, as they were slathered in salty butter. There was no seating available at any of these stalls, but Folks Collective is opening up soon with a proper dining area.
