Patara is another Thai restaurant in Singapore that has withstood the test of time. The Patara Thai Restaurant has been at Tanglin Mall for as long as we can remember.

Long Chim
Long Chim Singapore by David Thompson is a unique and interesting dining option in Marina Bay Sands (MBS).

We can’t say if the food at Long Chim is indeed the finest rendition of Thai street food but the place certainly has the atmosphere of Bangkok’s street markets in an upmarket setting.
