Deep-rooted in Asian culture, this feeling is given life at Ob Woon through its traditional home-made Thai fare offerings in a relaxed ambience.

Pork Leg Noodle ($9.80)
Leading the new set of dishes is the Pork Leg Noodle, featuring Ob Woon’s signature braised pork leg served atop a bowl of Thai-style egg noodles noodles.
This fork-tender pork leg is braised in a home-made spiced soy sauce to give it a deep umami taste.

Pork Collar Noodle ($9.80)
A spin-off of Ob Woon’s bestselling signature grilled pork collar, this noodle dish combines the comforting warmth of noodle soup and the satisfying marbling of prime meat cut.
Its ideal fat-meat ratio makes it really succulent, especially when grilled.
Touted as the best Thai-style pork collar in Singapore, the grilled slices of meat (best when dabbed with their in-house Issan-style dip) are served over a mound of dry cooked egg noodles.
Served with half a boiled egg, fresh kailan leaves, and a sprinkling of crispy pork lard.

Tom Yum Noodle ($9.80)
The sour and spicy soup is full of umami and sweetness from Ob Woon’s home-made seafood stock with no added MSG.
Infused with the Thai trinity of herbs (lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves & galangal), the clear stock is then seasoned with nam pla (fish sauce), fresh lime juice, chilli paste, sugar, and salt, then mixed with the Thai noodles.
Garnished with half a boiled egg, cilantro and fresh Thai chilies, this noodle dish is best enjoyed as is or with a spread of other Thai dishes.

Dry Tom Yum Noodle ($9.80)
While tom yum is often associated with soup, tom yum in Thailand is available dry with the noodles mixed with a special sauce to prevent them from clumping.
An option for those who prefer dry-type noodles, the Dry Tom Yum Noodle packs the same, intense Thai flavours of tom yum (sour, sweet, spicy and salty) but minus the soup.
Tom Yum Noodle with Cheese ($10.80)
If you love both the flavours of tom yum AND cheese, you’re in luck. Ob Woon offers a cheesified version of this Thai classic, topped with melted cheese to give you that gooey stretchy cheese pull.

Deep Fried Sea Bass with Sweet & Sour Sauce ($29.80)
This dish features a live whole sea bass, also known as ”squirrelfish” (sung shu yu) for the way it looks once the head and its curled up deep-fried body are arranged on a plate.
Preparation starts with a unique de-boning process, where they leave the 2 fillets still attached to the fishtail.
The fillet is scored in a criss-cross fashion to keep it from curling, then deep-fried in hot oil to achieve golden brown colour.
While crispy on the outside, the fish remains tender and moist inside. Served with a sweet & sour sauce to further enhance the flavour of the fish.

Deep Fried Fish with Fish Sauce ($29.80)
Another fish dish in the new menu is likewise served whole and deep-fried, but this time it uses a special nam pla (fish sauce) as its accompaniment.
Nam pla is an essential condiment in Thai cuisine, made from a mixture of fish, water and salt and fermented for at least a year or so.
To complement the crunchy fried fish flavour, you’ll get a side dish of mango salad, a mix of sour mangoes, chilli and shallots in a sweet-savoury sauce.
Tangy with a bit of heat, this Thai salad will cut through the taste of fat in your palate.
