Jungle, Ann Siang Hill

New contemporary Thai food (10 Ann Siang Hill, tel : +65 8389 2258) just across the street from The Corner Grill.

Great medley of flavours and textures going on from their rendition of yum som o; pomelo, candied coconut, toasted cashews, slices of green chilli, kaffir lime leaves, mint, sugar and dried shrimps tossed together. They were all rounded up with a refreshingly sweet lime-y dressing. Nice. 👍🏼

Menu described this as lamb breast skewer. We didn't actually know which cut of lamb was used but it was meat that was layered with fat and it was tender and...just fucking good. The meat was topped with a spicy nutty sauce, pickled onions and mint which lent their dimensions to the already delicious meat. We had seconds after the first skewer disappeared in short order. 👍🏼

Crab yellow curry pretty nice. Gravy was creamy and redolent with coconut milk. Plenty of shredded crab in it.

Also loved their grilled barramundi with something described as laksa nam jim; the latter a base of sweetness and lime with fish sauce and heat layered with mint, onions and other stuff. I didn't taste anything that reminded me of laksa leaf though. Fish was of good quality and tender. Nice. 👍🏼

Some rice to go with all those delicious flavours.

Grilled banana cake and caramel with a scoop of pretty kickass coconut ice cream. Liked the lightly crisp surface on the cake. Yummy.
