Rochor Thai

Rochor Thai started as a small eatery in 2012 in Rochor Centre, but its true roots go far deeper, you could say right to the Land of Smiles itself.

Chef owner Joel Ong created this project borne from his passion of food and all things Thai. After completing his diploma in culinary arts, he spent a year in Thailand living with the locals and studying the fantastic array of culinary delights the country had to offer.

Upon his return to Singapore, he wanted not only to recreate the great food, but also the feeling of kinship and warmth he had when dining with friends and loved ones. “Most of the Thai eateries in Singapore serve cuisine from the North-East, which most chefs here take to mean just spicy and sour, period. I feel that we don’t have a place where Thai food is served truly as it is meant to taste, strong-flavoured yet well-balanced,” laments Joel. “But I’m still a Singaporean lah. Although some of the dishes might be unfamiliar to you, don’t worry! Definitely shiok one!”

In a few short years, Rochor Thai has expanded, in both size and concept thanks to the unwavering support of its loyal fans, and has even collected a few accolades along the way. We welcome you to share a meal with the Rochor Thai family and experience a true taste of Thailand.
