Bangkok Fried Chicken with green chilli nam jim from Bird Bird. The chicken smells like it had just finished a rejuvenating spa session, whilst elsewhere the green chilli nam jim launches a fiery seed blast which envelopes your tongue with a sharp citric wave – an attack that is, interestingly,…
Reinterpreted Seafood Tom Yum Goong on ice from The East Bureau. Rich in oceanic flavour but light on feist, this mod glacial treat – with esteemed guests like abalone and salmon sashimi gracing the event – starts the proceedings on a clean, minimalist note. 3.7/5 The East Bureau 6 Raffles…
Lemon Steam Squid from Haha Thai. A love gift for those who itch for flirtation with oral danger – a highly citric flare blitz assaults your senses, the soup marvellously imbued with the essence of squid so thoroughly leached that the squid lies lifelessly shagged from all the flavour extraction.…

Green Chicken Curry from Soi 60 – chargrilled chicken, bamboo shoot, baby eggplant, with added spiciness. Essentially happily fatty, thoroughly marinated and flavoured grilled chicken satay soaking in a creamy, lush and literally verdant green curry (the greens are in the green, if you know what I mean). 4.1/5 Soi…
Thai Big Breakfast from Soi 60 – 2 organic fried eggs, house made pork sausages, spicy ground pork, roasted tomatoes, toast. What makes this delightfully hearty and generously-portioned Thai breakfast different from your garden variety brunch is the minced pork – which soaks lazily with its baconly siblings in the thick…
