The new contemporary Thai fine dining restaurant on Hamilton Road transformed the way I think of Thai cuisine

One Night In Chedi

I WAS A CASUAL LOVER of Thai fine cuisine before I first stepped into Chedi. After, I left a changed man.

Before Chedi, I thought of Thai fine cuisine to be more upscale versions of widely available – and widely known – dishes, akin to what The Coconut Club does for Nasi Lemak. But I was wrong. Chedi does justice to the wide array of Thai food – from the familiar to the more obscure – and presents it with charm and guile. Each course has its story, and hails from various corners of the Thai diaspora.

As a history buff, I loved the décor. The walls are adorned with murals depicting Thai folktales, which are worth closer inspection. But for me as a food writer, Chedi is everything I love about my job –great food, compelling stories, culturally rich ambience and impeccable service.

Chedi’s tasting menu (S$148++) is a nine- or 10-course culinary adventure helmed by Chefs K-Jin Lim and Miller Mai, informed by their own journeys in Thailand, from the streets of Chiang Rai to the fishing villages of southern Thailand.

August Men Of Tomorrow

August Men Of Tomorrow

In the age of independent thinking, our idea of leaders needs to evolve. Let us posit an alternative to traditional ideas of leaders: leadership is a choice, an act rather than a personality trait. We choose to do the difficult thing. We choose to bear responsibility when few would. You don't need the contrivances of power to be a leader. Instead, you can be a Community Developer at a gaming company, introducing small but vital initiatives to grow and engage with your community. You can be a DJ, moving the masses with music, making waves rather than demands. You can be a tattoo artist or the owner of a gallery, helping people discover their sense of self through art.Or you could fight for a better, kinder world for animals in Singapore.Here are the leaders of today. Here are the August Men of Tomorrow.
