Golden Mile Complex (ɻ�金坚)

This is a place where we call little thailand in Singapore and not without much truths. A shopping mall that has been around since I was a little girl, depicted by a thai god shrine outside of the building and lots of tourist bus that goes as far as Thailand.

I could faintly remember taking coaches from here to Genting Highlands and even Penang when I was rather tiny, the feeling of excitement and anticipation that comes with it. Now as I revisit the place I found the outside a little older n dirtier than many other malls in Singapore yet there are many treasures hidden inside.

The first nice smell i recognise despite some weird sourish and stale notes was flowers, yes.. frangipani I guess that came from a stall which sold decorations and wares for worship and BBQ meat.... Yes, this place has many stalls that sells authentic thai food owned by thai migrants and we couldn't help but had to seat down for a good meal of Mookata, Thai mango / papaya salad, tomyum soup and green curry. Food served are of a generous portion of spice and herbs... authentically thai.

While we finished our dinner we took a walk around and spotted some thai discos that served thai beer and music. Pretty interesting and loaded with flower garlands that you could use to honor a good singer. There is also a supermarket upstairs that sell a good range of anything you want to find in thailand. I found some green curry instant noodles and even vietnamese instant pho and of course yummy snacks from thailand like dried banana crisps. The supermarket also has a fresh food in cold storage section as such we spotted some weird animal parts and fresh seafood.

Apart from these, we managed to find some BBQ sausage that apparently don't look too cook. Its kinda like seasoned raw meat sausages that is pan fried outside but inside is a moist meat. I ate it and my tummy took it well. Lastly, there are many smaller shops that sells authentic thai fashion and hand made stuffs and even thai boxing gear... I heard of a muay thai gym around level 2 but have yet to find it....

Its a pretty interesting place to walk around if you have some time to spare and yes... great thai food. But the place does smell alittle funny and I didn't use the toilet and I didn't have the guts...*strong bladder strong bladder* otherwise you could pop by food centre opposite the road by crossing the overhead bridge or even the community centre which I guess would have nicer and cleaner loos.
