Took Lae Dee (meaning cheap and good) chose Singapore as its first overseas outlet, after operating in Thailand for 45 years. It is situated in the industrial estate of Tai Seng. The one here in Singapore will operate from 11am to 9pm (not 24 hours as in Thailand). Thankfully, prices remain low at S$3.80 for a plate of Pad Krapow (with a choice of minced chicken or pork). Other popular dishes like Pad Thai, Tom Yum soup and Green Curry are also priced affordably. Quench your thirst with a cool glass of the pretty, blue tinted iced Butterfly Pea tea (S$2.80). The menu is pretty small and simple. There is no dessert at the moment.
The F&B group behind the venture, Singapore’s Hersing Culinary, is also responsible for taking Michelin-endorsed brands such as Tim Ho Wan, Tsuta and Hawker Chan to Singapore and around the world. Hopefully, they will open a more centrally located outlet soon.
