I have a big statement to make: Soi 38 is giving Jinda Thai’s noodles a run for its money. I actually don’t know where I stumbled upon Soi 38, but for some reason I heard about this random carpark Thai noodle place in CBD and knew I had to check it out. It’s not very easy to find this place, but it’s kinda in the middle of the carpark where the lifts are. The décor looks like some hawker stall(ok very clean hawker stall!!!) and you have got pretty much 2 choices and a million different combos: Thai boat noodles or Tom Yum noodles. Here is where the variations starts: with Thai boat, you can choose beef or pork, then different noodles or no noodles at all, with soup or without soup or something in between(with a bit of soup?!) Tom yum is the same, except you don’t have a choice with the meat, it’s pork and prawn. So, for someone who can’t make up my mind, I ordered beef boat noodle with glass noodle and somewhere in between soup and no soup. Apparently the soup is made of pork(even if it’s beef meat I chose) that was boiled for hours. Then you get sliced medium rare beef, the most tender brisket and very flavourful beef balls. This is topped with bean sprouts and pork crackling and morning glory. You also get the standard condiments of sugar, vinegar, fish sauce and dried chilli to customize your own flavours to create this amazing, yumgasmic bowl of noodles. I also got Thai milk tea which is sweet, milky and certainly extinguish any heat from the heapful of chillis I chucked in my bowl. I can’t stop raving this place not only because of their noodles, but also their service. I asked for cooked beef because I am preggars, and after it came out, te chef came out and checked whether it was cooked through enough. The only gripe I have was that the noodles($ 10) is quite small. But you can get a large size for $ 15. I would recommend getting a large size if you are a single diner and share 3 standard size between two.

Fragrant beefy soup, silky kuay teow noodles and crunchy crackling! A tad pricey at AUD15 for large, AUD10 for regular.
