I had a memorable dining experience over at Restaurant Chedi, a contemporary Thai restaurant along Hamilton Road that recently opened its doors.

~Signature khao pad kid terng (add on for $14 per bowl, minimum order 2 bowls)

Every single dish of this menu was superbly executed, where the chefs' deft balance of hot, sour, salty and sweet - the hallmarks of Thai cuisine - really came to the fore! Special mention to the Signature khao pad kid terng too, which was indeed a fried rice to remember! The indulgent rice bowl, which is studded with threadfin (house cured for six months), fresh crabmeat and tobiko, was briny with complex flavours drawn from the sea, and the wok hei was super legit!

Their tasting menu will also be changing throughout the year to offer diners new entry points into Thailand's diverse regional cuisines.
