Thai food gets a swish update at Talay Thai in Clarke Quay. The space is all sexy dim lighting, cheeky neon-lit signs, and little Thai accents in the decor. Think gritty Bangkok streets and lux Singapore nightlife; you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s a newfangled cocktail bar!

The food is modern Thai and draws from different Thai regional cuisines, giving them fun and glamorous make-overs. Seafood takes pride of place here, with a mix of traditional and modern touches. If you like oysters, here they come topped with Asian-inspired granita or served with fiery Thai chili jam. Tender Norwegian salmon is served like you’ve never had it before: dressed in sweet and sour Nam Jin Sauce. That old hawker centre classic, grilled stingray, comes to the table with lashings of tamarind relish. Not to be outdone, French lobster bisque gets the hot and tangy tom yum treatment. It’s not just seafood. Pork and chicken dishes get similar Thai makeovers, and there’s plenty of classics like Phad Thai and various Thai curries to sate your Thai craving. Classic Thai food with swish touches, what’s not to love? (Sep 2016)
