Enjoying a great meal is one of our greatest pleasures in life; and, that’s why we always wanted to indulge ourselves with new flavours and different food places to try. So this year, we’ve come up with a unique blog series called: Savouring Singapore; with a mission to promote the delicious food places (big and small players) that you may find in and around the Lion City.
Makan! Makan! Makan!
While we aim to publicise Singapore as a ‘food trip’ destination, and since Singaporeans are known for their penchant in eating out (with family or with friends); this blog series was conceptualised with the main intention of helping those small food stalls in the Hawker Centres and Kopitiams with little or no digital access/capability.
Though some of our featured restaurants serve foreign cuisine, they sure were customised to be palatable to the meticulous Singaporean taste buds. We have opened the submissions to anyone (locals, tourists, and foreign workers) who wants to share their food photos and gastronomic experiences.
Here’s a roundup of this year’s and here’s looking forward to more new places in 2016. We hope that you will continue to join us in our mouthwatering journey of Savouring Singapore!
Though we believe that good food/restaurant easily spreads by word of mouth, we hope that this will further promote especially those who don’t have a website, a Facebook page, or a Twitter account.
How many from this list have you visited? Let us know where do you think we should be going next. Email: eugephemisms [@] gmail [.] com
*Makan is a Malay term that means: food or to eat.
“What’s the name of the resto?”, we asked. “I forgot.”, Nico replied. “It’s just near the BTS.”
Our ‘localised’ host, Nico, wanted to introduce us to this Thai restaurant and although he had forgotten its name, it was the experience and the delicious taste of the dishes which he did not forget.
Secretly tucked within the highly urbanised area of Silom, we’ll reveal it for you to discover and enjoy. Sure enough, just a few steps away from Saladaeng Station of Bangkok’s BTS; and after a short walk through a dark, run-down alley, you will find this authentic beauty: Talad Nam Seafood.
Travelling together in another country for the first time, good friends: Kenneth, Kristine, Mickee and Cyprus, discovered they were amazing (crazy) travel buddies. It was the final night in Bangkok and after a long day of shopping and city-walk, we had a relaxing moment by the pool before we headed for dinner. Everything went well since we arrived, so a great dinner, with lots of laughs and conversations, would be best to cap the trip.
It was also our farewell meal together with Paul, our dear friend who flew in from Sydney, to spend time with his family and then meet up with us afterwards. Such a superior treat to see Paul again after a long time. He showed up at Kenneth’s ‘surprise’ birthday party (happened the night prior) and then the already happy bunch became more excited, and, yes, even louder.
Now back to Talad Nam Seafood: As soon as we arrived in the restaurant, Nico knew what to order but he’d forgotten the names of the dishes; and so he had to call his friend to ask what they’re called by describing them and recalling the taste and the ingredients. To cut it short, we had successfully ordered everything Nico wanted us to try. (Not in photos below are three servings of fried rice. Don’t judge. Thanks.)
Now, we know what it’s called, we know what dishes to order; and most of all, we know where it is. So the next time you’re in Bangkok, you must try Talad Nam Seafood because we are definitely coming back. We’ve provided a link of the directions below on how to get there. Gin hai a-roi! (กินให้อร่อย or ‘Enjoy your meal.’)
