Good Vibes, Great Value: Sanook Kitchen Serves Up Everyday Thai Food at PLQ Mall
Craving a bowl of tom yum or a plate of pad Thai without the fine-dining price tag? Sanook Kitchen at PLQ Mall serves up wallet-friendly, authentic Thai classics on Level 3, in a casual, family-friendly setting that lives up to its name — ‘Sanook’ means enjoyment and good vibes in Thai.
Everyday Thai Food at PLQ Mall
Founded in Singapore in 2018, Sanook Kitchen has grown into one of the island’s most familiar Thai dining brands, with close to 30 outlets in malls across the city. The concept is backed by Minor Food Singapore, the country’s largest casual dining restaurant operator, which also runs other well-known Thai brands such as ThaiExpress and Go-Ang Pratunam Chicken Rice.
True to its tagline, ‘Everyday Thai Food, Endless Delight’, the menu is built using genuine Thai spices and fresh ingredients, aiming for the unpretentious, comforting flavours of home-style Thai cooking rather than an elevated fine-dining experience. The PLQ Mall branch is one of dozens of outlets in malls islandwide, from Jewel Changi Airport and VivoCity to Jurong Point and Waterway Point, giving the brand a strong, consistent presence across Singapore.
Signature Dishes to Order at Sanook Kitchen
Diners consistently return for the Signature Superbowl Creamy Tom Yum Soup loaded with seafood, along with the fragrant Pineapple Fried Rice, classic Pad Thai Noodles, and the ever-popular Thai Basil Chicken Rice. To finish, Mango Sticky Rice with Coconut Milk is a favourite way to end the meal.
The wider menu also covers appetisers, soups, curries, and seafood dishes, so there is plenty to mix and match whether you are dining solo or sharing a table with the family. Portions are generally sized for sharing, which makes it easy for a group to order several dishes and sample a wider range of flavours in one sitting.
Pro Tip: Sanook Kitchen does not accept table reservations at any of its outlets, so it is best to arrive slightly ahead of the lunch and dinner crowds if you want to avoid a wait, especially over the weekend.
Combo Deals and Great Value Thai Food
Sanook Kitchen has run combo promotions such as a choice of Red Tom Yum Rice Noodles or Chicken Cashew Nut Rice paired with a Thai Iced Milk Tea for around $6.90, on top of its everyday wallet-friendly menu pricing. Since combo deals rotate periodically, it is worth checking the events page on the official website or asking staff at the PLQ outlet about any promotions currently running.
Halal-Certified, Family-Friendly Dining
Sanook Kitchen is halal-certified, making it an accessible choice for a wider range of diners at PLQ Mall. The relaxed, cosy setting is also designed with families in mind, so it is an easy pick for a casual gathering, a quick lunch break, or a spontaneous dinner with the kids in tow.
Since the restaurant does not take reservations, walk-in groups of all sizes are generally accommodated on a first-come basis, and the open, casual layout tends to suit larger family gatherings as well as quick solo meals equally well.
Getting to Sanook Kitchen at PLQ Mall
