Siam Kitchen @ Bugis

Bugis Junction has changed so much! The last time I was there, Sony was still occupying a large part of the 2nd floor.

We were strolling around when PT decided that he wanted some Thai food. So we walked in Siam Kitchen, a bright and airy restaurant with cheerful and friendly staff.

First and foremost, the pre-requisite dish for JT - Chicken Soup. The clear and tasty soup came with strands of tang hoon and generous slices of chicken.


FT wanted her favourite Pineapple Rice. It was moist and the spices were well-blended, without the overpowering taste of pineapple. I gave a spoonful to JT and he attacked the rice like a hungry hawk. Needless to say, FT wasn't too pleased about the situation.



Whilst studying the menu, I was totally enticed by the mixed grill platter. I have a weakness for squid and the grilled slices looked delectable. The platter comprise beef slices, chicken, squid and prawns  and did not disappoint when it arrived. The meat retained their moistness and juiciness and went smashingly well with a tangy chilli sauce.


PT wanted more chicken and so ordered the mid-joint fried chicken wing. We were pleasantly surprised by the dish. The well-seasoned chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy and well-seasoned inside.


I felt rather guilty with all that meat and ordered the token vegetable - Sambal Asparagus. It was a zesty dish. The asparagus were cooked to a light crunch and the sambal carried a good kick.


We were in the mood for some authentic Thai dessert. PT ordered the Durain Sticky Rice. It was a rich concoction where the rice and durian were immersed in a warm, thick coconut gravy.


I wanted something cold and ordered the Red Ruby. The dish at the restaurant came with a nice fusion twist where the rubies and cempedak slices were scattered over 2 scoops of coconut ice-cream. FT was ecstatic and was alternating between the 2 desserts.


A refreshing and satisfying lunch.
