Guiding you to good food & best restaurants in Singapore

Helmed by Chef-Owner Darwin Ong who has a wealth of culinary experience under this belt (JIDAI & Beurre), @tarathaisg is the first Thai contemporary omakase restaurant in 🇸🇬 which boasts a clever fusion play on authentic Thai fare with specialty food and cocktails!👍

Here’s what we enjoyed for the 7-course Thai Omakase, priced at only SGD48!😬
1️⃣Deep Sea Crab Salad with Charcoal Crackers
2️⃣Hokkaido Scallop with Avruga Caviar
3️⃣Green Lip Abalone with Lemongrass Basmati
4️⃣Tara Signature Crocodile Ribs cooked in Tom Yum Spicy Clear Broth
5️⃣Challan Duck with Massaman Yellow Curry
6️⃣Watermelon Vodka, Les Carolines
7️⃣Caramel Coconut Red Ruby

Overall, the ingredients used were all very fresh and each course did not disappoint our palates.😛

If I had to pick my top 3 favourites, it would be 1️⃣, 4️⃣ & 5️⃣.

1️⃣ boasts a flavourful mix of prawn broth, crab roe miso and shallot oil. It was refreshing and definitely got me craving for more deliciousness next.

4️⃣ reminded me of Leng Saap (Spicy Pork Spine Soup). The exotic crocodile ribs were surprisingly succulent and the aromatic tom yum soup was too SHIOK to stop slurping.

5️⃣ features the lean and tender red meat with a crisp skin, simmered in tasty coconut-rich curry. The fried crunchy rice cake elevated the overall texture of this dish.

I’m usually not fond of red ruby desserts but their Caramel Coconut Red Ruby did manage to impress me.😌

Tried akamaru for the first time. Ippudo ramen's consistency never dissapoints. But i still prefer the classic flavour.

As usual, ramen at ippudo doesn't disappoint. Ordered medium hardness for noodles and hot for spicy level. Will definitely be back.

Would you believe me if I said this was my first shake shack burger in Singapore?
There are clear reasons why the establishment has steadily grown to 9 outlets across our little red dot. Firstly these were some of the freshest burgers I’ve had of late with a nicely grilled beef patty, exuberant looking and fresh vegetables with this tangy chopped red peppers I adored in my hamburger.
Our orders also came swiftly (<10 min) even with a relative full house and I loved the help yourself to condiments kiosks, this is quality fast food that you’d gladly pay a premium for.

Lack of flavour, had to season it separately with the condiments provided at the counter. Slightly disappointing experience. Would give credit to the generous portion of minced beef though.

Flavour of the risotto is okay. The rice is a little mushy for my liking. The vegetables on it has some dressing on it - is that suppose to be normal? Overall a decent dish for its price.

Tried Joo Chiat Kim Choo rice dumplings and they were fragrant and flavourful. My favourites were the Nonya rice dumpling and the Pulut Hitam Nonya rice dumpling. They have a sweet and savory taste which I really enjoy.

The apple was nicely cooked down with sufficient softness and tasted tart. The ice cream was soft and decadent too. Overall the best dish of the night! The corse sugar and cinnamon was the icing on the cake. Wine selection at this restaurant was good too!
