A Fresh Look at Thai Cuisine
The PEAK Singapore|March 2023
A slew of new Thai restaurants offer a contemporary and creative take on the vibrant cuisine.
A Fresh Look at Thai Cuisine

01 RESTAURANT CHEDI

Having spent close to a decade running an eatery in Chiang Mai, a Singaporean chef has made a homecoming with Restaurant Chedi, a contemporary Thai restaurant in the colourful neighbourhood of Jalan Besar. Chef K-Jin Lim continues to run Paak Dang Riverside Restaurant in Chiang Mai, which hires less privileged and at-risk youths. At the newly opened Restaurant Chedi, traditional and lost recipes are imbued with modern culinary techniques. Lending a fresh perspective to Thai cuisine is head chef Miller Mai, who used to work at modern Southeast Asian restaurant Ding Dong. Highlights of the tasting menu ($148++) include Tom Kha Gai, baked chicken wings served with foie gras-infused sticky rice and tom kha creme, and Gaeng Som Fak Thong, Chilean sea bass with Japanese pumpkin, curry and Thai fish floss. Save space for the signature salted ikan kurau fried rice, which features six-month cured threadfin, crab meat and tobiko.
