Saap Saap Thai is arguably one of the more legit halal Thai chains in Singapore, thanks to their generous noodles that are packed with tender beef slices. That’s why we wholeheartedly welcome another outlet. Pore over their wide variety of Thai dishes, from boat noodles to tom yum soup. Prices are relatively affordable too, with most mains under $15.
You can also expect quintessential Thai desserts here like Mango Sticky Rice ($6.30) and Thai Milk Tea ($3.50).
