The colonial black-and-white manor is one of those places that reminds me of a seaside holiday, replete with the faint scent of lemongrass wafting through the picturesque black & white colonial bungalow, and a distant view of the Keppel waterfront.
With such gorgeous digs, I initially thought the Thai fare served here would be a little disappointing, in comparison to the amazing ambience. It was a pleasant surprise to find that Tamarind Hill served up seriously good Thai cuisine. A little more pricey than the regular Thai eatery, yes, but the food was exquisite.
A tip: call ahead always - the space is regularly booked out by private receptions of all sorts.
Another tip: their set lunches, at under $20 each, are value-for-money, and make for a lovely escape from the hustle of the office.
We had:
1) Pork Neck Phanaeng Curry ($34): mindblowingly awesome and must-try. Hands-down, most luscious pork slices ever. Despite the modern ambience, the curries aren't watered down, and they pack quite the punch.
2) Deep Fried Pork in Garlic & Pepper ($30): robust, fragranced with copious lashings of black pepper and golden nubbins of fried garlic.
3) Massaman Beef Curry ($34): redolent of nutty elements, and loaded with roasted potatoes and fork-tender beef hunks.
4) Vegetarian Tom Yum Soup ($22): fiery despite its clear countenance, chunked up with an assortment of enoki, oyster, shimeiji, and straw mushrooms.
5) Phad Chee Aiw ($16) - thick flat rice noodles with dark soy, interspersed with pork, eggs, kailan, and carrots: superb
