Made an reservation online but we reached the place way before the appointed time. It was empty and we had our choice of table. There was 2 male service staffs who were both quite friendly.

Taking my dinner after window shopping session at Orchard, my friend suggested settling at this place. Modern Bistro concept of Thai Cuisine, Bangkok Jam was actually another brand by Creative Eateries. Ambiance was stylish with simply black and white theme, many pictures about Bangkok city can be seen on the wall. Extensive Menu based on unique Thai recipe, food was up to standard at a relatively affordable price drew a large crowd to the restaurant.Serving up Fried Rice at first, presentation was an earthen looking bowl. Fluffy rice with strong taste of Pineapple aroma, cashew nuts and papaya salad were putting aside as dressing. Price at $11.50, the portion was rather generous. Tom Yum soup was the must-order dish, spicy and heavy enough for my liking. Salivating bowl was priced $7.90, quite a worthwhile cost. We ordered for side dish as well, Bangkok Mixed Grill was symphony of baked Squids, Shrimps, Beef and Chicken in single plate. Nothing beats, Seafood or Meat were all fresh and tasted awesomely with the arrival of special Thai sauce. It was not cheap, price at $23.00. Having to say, the relaxing and comfy environment made me feel like staying longer to continue our girl’s talk.

I didn't think that Orchard would be crowded on a Wednesday night; so I didn't make a reservation for dinner. But boy, was I so wrong (note to self: never underestimate the Christmas rush). Most of the restaurants were packed! So, my friend and I just settled for Bangkok Jam at Wheelock.. We had to queue for about 30 mins though to get seats.Anyway, I ordered the Curry Chicken with rice. It wasn't spectacular, coming from a restaurant which boasts of serving authentic Thai food. It was just too spicy that you can't really taste anything else. I think there were also a few tiny pieces of chicken. I've had better.

It was a Tuesday afternoon and I met my friend for lunch at somewhere nearby for the both of us and we decided to have some casual Thai food at Bangkok Jam. It is located on level 2 of Wheelock Place just beside nydc restaurant which is too hard to miss on the outside with the prominent signage at its door front.The interior of the restaurant has a warm and cosy ambiance thanks to the wooden setting among dark wall, giving customers a welcoming yet intimate feel. Although I sat at one of the corner near the entrance, the restaurant was very noisy as more diners stream in during the lunch hour and makes it difficult to speak to my friend without raising my tone of voice. (Side note, this place is not suitable for lunch meetings!)Feeling humid in the afternoon heat, I started my meal with a glass of Lemongrass Tea ($4.80) which was light and refreshing. I thought the flavour of lemongrass could be stronger but I could make do with this glass as they didn't add in too much ice, which thankfully didn't dilute the uplifting fragrance of the tea as it melts.Coming to the mains, I usually love my Stir-fried Minced Chicken with Basil ($11.90) not too spicy with a powerful punch of basil. Without specifying it to the waiter, they did it the way I prefer! Mildly spicy with a good douse of basil accompanied by juicy essence of chicken that goes very well with the steamed white rice! The only thing I didn't like was the egg being overcooked on 1 side as I love my sunny-side-up egg yolk runny. However, it was very delicious in flavour and generous in portion yet not overly oily compared to another Thai chain cafe belonging to a local celebrity. Browsing through fellow OpenRicer's reviews, I read that most of them enjoyed the Banana Tempura with Hot Caramel Sauce ($9.90) so I thought of giving it a try. When it was served, it certainly looks a lot like the glam-up version of our local goreng pisang. Topped with raisins and drizzled with good o' caramel sauce, the piping hot battered banana slices were oh-so-decadent when eaten with the ice cool vanilla ice-cream. Heavenly yum! My overall dining experience at Bangkok Jam was pleasant with nice food but their service could be better improve as it took a long time for them to serve the food. It took 10mins for my friend's main dish to be served and another 10mins for mine to be served. Imagine the awkwardness in between. Apart from the long waiting time, top it up with the noisy ambiance, this place isn't a good choice to have lunch meetings at all. I recommend you to visit if you have the extra time to dine and do not mine the crowd. I hope their service will be better at their other outlets.

My friend come to orchard town for training, and she brought me to the Bangkok Jam for lunch (my first time visit ). During the lunch time, the waiting for food time a bit long Seafood Phad Thai. My friend ordered the Seafood Phad Thai, fresh prawn and squid. Overall is good Stir-fried Egg Noodle with Bacon & Crabmeat. Noodle serve with bacon and big crabmeat, but a bit salty for me.
