About Me Dee Thai Restaurant

Tucked inside Paramount Food Court, Me Dee dishes out lightning-fast, budget Thai plates packed with genuine street-level heat. Office workers treat the unpretentious counter like an everyday canteen—dropping by for prompt, wallet-friendly bowls that do not compromise on chili fire. The kitchen does not soften flavours for western palates: expect forehead-sweating tom yum, rich boat noodles, and smoky wok-hei running through stir-fried flat noodles. Regulars line up for the crispy pork belly tossed with Chinese broccoli and topped with a fried egg, or tender moo deng skewers served alongside freshly made nam jim jeow. Bring cash to skip the card surcharge.

  • Authentic Thai Heat: Dishes stay true to Bangkok street standards, packing uncompromised chili heat across soups and stir-fries.
  • Speed & Value: Fast counter turnaround delivers freshly wokked mains for roughly $14 to $15, making it a reliable CBD go-to.
  • Standout Crispy Pork: Crispy pork belly served over rice with Chinese broccoli or fried egg remains an enduring crowd favourite.
  • Extensive Menu: A versatile spread spans boat noodles, khao soi curry, rich stir-fries, and house-made nam jim jeow dipping sauce.

  • Customizable condiment station

    Diners can personalize their dishes with self-serve chili, fish sauce, and sugar to achieve their preferred taste balance.

    One good point is that MeDee provide extra chili, sugar, fish sauce, and other two ingredients, so we could tailor to our own preference.
