There’s no shortage of Thai restaurants in Singapore. The city-state relishes several South East Asia cuisines, but Thai gastronomy stands out. Diverse eateries serve a rich menu of Thai inspired dishes ranging from tasty curries, noodle dishes, hot, spicy, and sour embellishments.
There’s no ending to the Thai servings you can enjoy in Thai restaurants. The pad Thai, aromatic rice, papaya salads, and finger-licking seafood is just the tip of the iceberg.
What is a Thai Restaurant?
Simply put, a Thai restaurant is a culinary establishment that specialises in preparing, serving, and selling Thai inspired dishes. The restaurant can be a traditional establishment or a contemporary eatery. The common aspect is that both versions preserve the authentic Thai cuisine ways.
In a Thai restaurant, the presence of sour, sweet, salty, and spicy food is second nature. If a restaurant cannot prepare dishes while observing this formula, it no longer satisfies the palates of customers who walk in looking for particular Thai servings.
A basic order in a Thai restaurant can consist of meat/fish serving, vegetables, noodle servings, and soup. The desert can comprise fresh fruit such as pineapple or cakes and exotic scoops.
A Guide to Ordering At a Thai Restaurant
- Don’t wait for starters, main courses or accompaniments, Thai food is served all at one for al to share.
- Thai dishes are all-inclusive. A balanced serving infuses different textures that combine crunchy recipes, light bites, and spicy elements in one plateful.
- Find your proteins in different dishes if you prefer chicken curry, consider a pad Thai with prawns together with a stir-fry with beef.
- Include your vegetables. Consider papaya salad, stir-fried broccoli, and a veggie noodle combo to spice up your meal.
Unique Characters of a Thai Restaurant in Singapore
For a restaurant to qualify as a respectable Thai eatery, it needs to fulfil some specifics. Here are some characteristics of a Thai restaurant in the Lion state.
Thai chef or trained cook
A restaurant that claims to be Thai inspired should employ a head chef who is a Thai national. If not, the chef needs to be a certified Thai cuisine expert with extensive training in the preparation of Thai food.
Thai cuisine methods and condiments
Authentic Thai restaurants stick to authentic Thai food preparation standards and ethics. They use ingredients such as lemongrass, galangal, Thai basil, and tamarind, among others. Even though creativity is crucial in food preparation, Thai restaurants stick to time-proven cuisine practices.
Veg and non-veg items
Thai eateries respect the vegetarian food bracket. There are significant veg and non-veg acknowledgments on the menu. Thai joints present menus that respect veg and non-vegans.
How to Eat Healthy At a Thai Restaurant
Thai foods are considered to be a healthier option compared to Chinese. Right form spring rolls that don’t dump heaps of oil to spicy sauces that are better than chines alternatives. And there are soups like the Tom yum that is almost sodium-free, not to mention the lemongrass spices. Surprisingly, there are healthy tips for eating Thai, including:
Sizzling veggie servings
With a backup of ginger, garlic, and chili, Thai vegetable servings offer serious flavour at the cost of a few calories. Entrees and sizzling vegetables can round off a meal without dumping unwanted calories on your plate
Check the Tofu
Tofu can suck up anything it comes into contact with. Always check the fried tofu to avoid filing up on the oil it slurped up during the baking. It’s better to have it sautéed.
Choose a Classic serving
Ordering a Pad Thai is a good bet in any Thai eatery. The entrée serving is no more than 600 calories. Also, it has low saturated fat content making it a good inclusion.
Examples of Thai Dishes You Should Try
There are popular Thai foods that every food-loving person loves to order in any Thai restaurant in Singapore. Here are unique examples of dishes to try.
Tod mun pla
Tod mun pla is the classic Thai appetizer. It’s a fish dish made of fish paste, long beans. It can be seasoned with red curry paste and lime leaves.
Kuay tiew phet
The dish is primarily Thai noodles. They can be served with pork and beef blend. You can order the duck noodle soup with cinnamon, anise, and spice varieties. The duck meat is perfectly balanced in the flesh to fat ratio.
Khao soi
This noodle soup is a combination of coconut broth, mustard greens, shallots, and crispy egg noodles—order with a lime sprinkle for exceptional texture.
Pad Thai
Pad Thai is a must-have when you are in Thailand, or simply eating Thai cuisine. No Thai food experience would be complete with the absence of pad thai. Pad thai is a stir-fried noodle that is commonly found at the street stalls along the streets of Thailand, and most Thai restaurants serve pad thai as one of their main dishes. This dish typically comprises of rice noodles, a type of protein (chicken, beef or tofu), scrambled egg, peanuts, and bean sprouts. You can also choose to have pad thai with seafood such as prawns and crab.
Pad See Ew
Pad see ew is also a type of Thai stir-fried noodles, similar to the pad thai. Pad see ew is directly translated into “stir-fried soy sauce noodles”. For a simple dish like pad see ew, its sauce is what sets it apart from an average pad see ew. It all boils down to the sauce, which makes all the difference in the world. The main components of the sauce are dark soy sauce, ordinary or light soy sauce, sugar, vinegar and oyster sauce. This results in a sweet and savoury sauce that is the star of the dish.
Tom Yum
If there is one thing that you must order when you try Thai food, that is tom yam. Even for non-spicy eaters, they find the hot and sour soup refreshing. Tom yum is typically cooked with shrimp, and the main ingredients are lemongrass, galangal, lime juice, kaffir lime leaves, chilli peppers and fish sauce. Other ingredients include sweet white onions, mushrooms, tomatoes and coriander. Tom yum goes well with almost anything, so you can enjoy it on its own or with other Thai dishes.
Khao kluk kapit
Khao kluk kapit is not your typical fried rice dishes that are the result of meat and vegetables sauteed together. Khao kluk kapit is the next level of fried rice paradise. Fermented ground shrimp and salt, also known as kapit, has been tossed together with the fried rice, until the aromatic shrimp paste is infused with the rice. For the khao kluk kapit, there are a wide variety of toppings you can choose from: Taiwanese sausage, unripe sour mangoes, thinly sliced omelette, shallots, dried shrimp, chilis, and marinated pork. This results in a colourful dish, with no two exact bites.
Kana moo krob
This dish is the perfect way to spice up your tastebuds while still getting your daily dose of vegetables to stay healthy. Kana moo krob is made up of stir-fried Chinese broccoli over high heat with crispy pork belly, chilli, garlic. Then, the mixture is tossed in an oyster and soybean sauce that is at a sweet and salty spot. Kana moo krob pairs well with a bowl of white jasmine rice.
Nam prik noom
Nam prik noom is the most popular dish among the northern Thais. This chilli dip has a fanciful name, and it might have fooled some of us into thinking that it is an actual dish. The components of this chilli dip are garlic, shallots, lime juice, fish sauce, green chilli and coriander. Now, don’t be afraid to try this chilli dip. As spicy as the ingredients sound, nam prik noom is actually less spicy than other regional chilli dips in Thailand. It goes well with boiled eggs, pork rinds, steamed vegetables and sticky rice.
Ruam mit
To break it down for you in simpler terms, Ruam mit is a dessert gazpacho. The ingredients that go into this sweet delicious desert are coconut jelly, water chestnuts coated in tapioca flour, jackfruit slices, pandan and toddy palm seeds, all soaked up in a bowl of sweet and refreshing coconut milk. Ruam mit is perfect after a spicy meal or a paradise treat when perspiring under the warm sun in Thailand.
Som tam phu pala
This dish is better known as papaya salad to most of us, and papaya salad is definitely a much easier name to remember than som tam phu pala. This dish is best served as an appetiser, because its spicy and sweet, sour and refreshing taste, is sure to warm up your stomach before the main dishes.

| Review 1 | “Authentic Thai food at it’s best! Fresh ingredients and herbs aplenty. Flavorful food that was awesome. Everything was cooked to near perfection, not too salty or sweet. The soup could be a bit more spicy and sour. Small restaurant that sits up to 8 small tables and 3 big tables (max 10). Cosy setting good for group dining. Service staff are attentive and courteous. Average $45/pax” – KC |
| Review 2 | “This is a cozy family fine dining restaurant which serves excellent Thai cuisine. All the ingredients used seem to be original. The food id flavorsome and fresh. Vegetarians are also taken care as they are willing to customize dishes as per requirement. The Thai desserts of red ruby with coconut ice cream plus mango with sticky rice gives it delicious finish.

| Review 1 | I had great time eating delicious food in this restaurant. Food was yummy. The atmosphere is awesome and very modern style Thai cuisine. Both the managers and staffs were friendly, and their service was good. Most importantly every food and drink tasted great. |
| Review 2 | Reinventing Thai Cuisine Sarai sits in the premises previously occupied by Patara. The interior is completely different. The space has been opened up and lighter wood has been used, giving it an airier, lighter feel than Patara. Private rooms are still available, and these are now set on the side with windows overlooking Tanglin Road. The more modern vibe of the place gels well with the food. First glance at the menu might shock you. Well-known dishes like mango salad, pineapple rice, pandan leaf chicken don’t appear. You sense that this is going to be different. Had a nice refreshing Sweet Tamarind drink to start off. Personally, would have loved it if they had a sour version. For simplicity, took the set dinner. Many of the dishes were bite-sized, like the first dish – a watermelon ball sitting on a bed of toasted coconut and smoked fish in a little edible basket. You get an explosion of different flavours that balance well. This was a consistent concept as I worked my way through all the other bite-sized dishes. Of the dishes that came in larger portions, the green curry beef was a standout. The curry was actually a thick gravy, mild but flavourful. The beef was tender and moist. Really good. The soup was a roasted duck soup. I didn’t know what to expect; it turned out a very flavourful soup. The roasting of the duck must have given it its distinct flavour. Glad of this new discovery rather than yet another tom yum soup. Dessert was taro custard, taro nest and cured starfruit. An ending consistent with the complementary, subtle flavours of all the bite-sized dishes. Highly recommend that you give Sarai a try – opens your mind to the possibilities of Thai food, beyond what we have traditionally come to accept. |
| Review 3 | The food was delicious me and my friends had an wonderful dinner with great laughter. The environment is very cozy and great atmosphere for family and friends gatherings. Staff’s were very helpful and friendly. Great job done by manager Jeevan. |

| Review 1 | “I ordered the northern Thai pork ribs soup noodle. The waitress is good service and pretty:) She recommended the type of noodles to go with different soup noodle. I chose the brown rice bee Hoon. The soup base is no MSG as they claimed. I think it is correct. I didn’t feel thirsty after eaten. The noodle is spicy but the spice favor and the spiciness was balanced well. The pork ribs itself are so tender, which can be easily rip off from the bone. I also ordered a lemongrass drink. The drink itself is very good! Not so sweet and refreshing. Will definitely go again for other food items. At the e end I ordered a basil pork to take away and according to the water it is also good:) Highly recommend a hidden gem inside Sim Lim Square!” – Wing |

Though it’s uncommon to see Thai food served in the forms of tapas and sharing plates, they add an exciting twist to the mundane tom yum and paid thai. There is a mixture of grilled meat and seafood together with Thai savories. The grilled steak was done to perfection and the tom yum soup was spiced to guarantee sweat. The hype is lively with good flow of farang customers enjoying their beers over bites. Definitely worthy try!” – Chee.K |

| Review 1 | “They have authentic indonesian food which taste just like the food i had in indonesia. Pricewise it is affordable especially if yiu are a huge fan of indonesian food. If you dont, well they have a variety of thai food for you to try!”- Fenina.G |
| Review 2 | “Honestly, I always choose this restaurant in malls as it will almost never have a queue, and the food is above average in terms of quality.Both the green and red curry are acquired tastes, although sometimes I lament the inadequate chicken portions in the curry. I would prefer the clear tomyum over the normal tomyum, but it is more of a personal preference. All of the vegetable options are fine and well prepared, and ordering the snack platter is a good choice if you’re hungry.Although the portion sizes when served may look small, it is often fulfilling enough for the average diner. Ambience is perfect with few crowds even during peak periods.” – Fomsey.P |

What is so special about Thai Cuisine
Although Thai cuisine is the national food of Thailand, it is actually a combination of multiple South East Asian countries such as Malaysia, Vietnam, and Burma.
Thai food relies on aromatic spices such as chilli, ginger, thai basil, lemongrass, mint, and pastes like kapi and nam pla to give thai food its distinctive taste. For most of us, it is the unique blend of fresh ingredients and spices that makes Thai cuisine so special that it stands out from other countries’ cuisine.
The taste of Thai cuisine
The traditional taste of Thai cuisine is a combination of four key tastes which are bitter, sour, sweet, and salty. These four tastes come together and balance out to give you that distinctive taste of Thai cuisine that can be found in dishes such as Kwaitiew Pad Thai and Panang Gai.
Components of Thai cuisine
Fruits and vegetables
The major components that form Thai cuisine are fruits and vegetables, which explains why it is so healthy to go on a Thai diet. You can expect to find a wide variety of fruits and vegetables from a Thai menu, ranging from beansprouts, broccoli, sweet potato, eggplant to fruits like pineapple and mango. Vegetables are typically included in the main Thai dishes, while fruits are mainly used in appetisers and desserts.
Carbohydrates
A staple Thai diet is made up of mostly noodles and rice, even though rice is more commonly eaten by the Thais among the two. Thai cuisine is mostly made out of either rice, specifically jasmine rice or rice noodles.
Conclusion
Thai cuisine is undoubtedly on everyone’s to-try list, and I am sure you can understand why. Thai food is one-of-kind that you can’t get anywhere but from authentic Thai restaurants, and of course, in Thailand itself. Whether your taste buds are into spicy, sweet and sour or even bitter food, you can find a Thai cuisine that suits your preference.
