Thanying Restaurant

Thanying is one of the oldest fine dining Thai restaurants in Singapore and some say, one of the most expensive. Thanying has been around for many years and many would remember this from their childhood.

1) Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab ($30.00): Crab was fresh but the batter was a little too thick.

2) Deep Fried Stuffed Chicken Wings: Must-try but a little pricey at $4.00 per wing. It was stuffed with minced meat and herbs.

3) Thai Omelette with Minced Pork or Crab ($17.00): Very good. It was fluffy, and thick.

4) Baked Prawns with Vermicelli in Claypot: ($7.50 per prawn) Quite pricey. Strips of bacon, and sliced Chinese black mushrooms wer a nice touch.

5) Fried Pomfret topped with crispy garlic ($30.00): Fresh but very small and very little meat for a 30dollar fish. Loved the crispy garlic though.

6) Kang Kong cooked with Special Sauce ($20): one of the recommended specialties, but it wasn’t extraordinary. It was standard kang kong sautéed with oyster sauce, chili and prawns.

7) Green Curry Chicken ($16.50): The side of deep fried fish skins was an unusual touch. Nice and authentic fare.

8) Minced Chicken with Basil Leaves ($18) is one of the better versions around. It was spicy, and the flavour of the basil came through in every mouthful.

9) Rice Crackers ($16) came with a sauce that looked really disgusting, but it was goooood. Definitely a must-try.

10) Papaya Salad ($16). It was refreshing yet spicy, sweet and savoury.

11) Dessert buffet: ($9.00 per person): Absolute steal because of the price and variety of sweets at the buffet table.
