Nara Thai - famed in Thailand for been consistently featured on Thailand's Tatler Best Restaurant list, has finally opened it's first overseas outlet in Ion Orchard. Founded in 2006 by Yuki Srikarnchana, the restaurant strive to bring authentic Thai street food to its customers in an air-conditioned and relaxed setting. The recently awarded Best Restaurant in Thailand promised the use of the freshest ingredients and a high standard of service.DID YOU KNOW? that Nara Thai cuisine is largely influ
DID YOU KNOW? that Nara Thai cuisine is largely influenced from the central regions of Thailand, where the Thai royalty resided, and as sweetness was the predominant flavour of choice for the royalties, those who are more accustomed to the spicy and sour flavour might find some of their their dishes too sweet.
The Massaman Curry came in a small bowl enough to share for 2 to 3 person. The chicken is tender and moist and the potato is cooked to perfectness - maintaining its fluffiness when you bite into it.
DID YOU KNOW? that the word Tom Yam are derived from two Tai words: "tom" and "yam". "Tom" refers to boiling process, while "yam" refers to a kind of Lao and Thai spicy and sour salad.This is one of the must-try from their menu! The river prawns are fresh as promised and the meat can easily be peeled from their shell. The soup base is sour and spicy, but not spicy enough to those who can't take the heat.
Seasonal vegetables stir-fried in oyster sauce to almost perfection. The greens are crunchy, coupled with the sweet and savoury oyster sauce, make this dish a winner.
DID YOU KNOW? that the green curry gets its colour from fresh basil leaves and green chillis?Like the Massaman curry, the chicken is tender. The curry is flavourful but not overpowering and when added to rice, is a taste to behold.
All in, Nara Thai looks like a plush restaurant that serves pretty standard Thai food. Their promise of high quality ingredients was kept, in general as all the dishes felt and taste fresh. The service crew were clad in smart suits and uniforms. However, service can be a tad tardy during peak hours. Waiting time for order taking and food to arrive can be agonizingly long. If you have only 1 hour to spare for lunch during work days, then you might have to look for other options.
