Our take: Happy Thai Food at Hougang Rivercourt appears to be a local favourite, with many reviewers praising its authentic flavours and friendly service.

We note a recurring theme of generous portions, particularly for dishes like the fried garlic pork belly and the tom yum soup, which is described as flavourful with a good spicy kick.

The set lunch options are highlighted as value-for-money, with an option to add tom yum soup that comes with a surprising amount of ingredients.

While some dishes like the olive fried rice are considered decent but not outstanding, the overall consensus points to a home-cooked style of Thai cuisine.

A key consideration for families is the spice level; even 'non-spicy' dishes might carry some heat due to shared woks.

We think this spot is a solid choice for an authentic, casual Thai meal, especially if you're in the area.

Best for those who appreciate genuine Thai flavours and don't mind a potentially spicy kick.

First time here. The food is really tasty. Set lunch was value for money, topped up $1 to add tom yum soup and the amount of ingredients in that soup is really beyond my expectations. They even had fr…
