Thanying was first introduced to me by my Father who was fervently looking for a good Thai Restaurant in Singapore. Not to be snooty about food but he wanted something more substantial, with more quality than say Thai Express. A place where you can treat your clients and beau alike to a good meal.
The ambiance is quite cosy and comfortable but i found it a little old. But maybe thats the rustic feeling they were hoping for.
Thai food is one of the best meals to have because it tantalizes all your senses. The ideal meal is a harmonious blend of the spicy, the subtle, the sweet and sour. I love the how i do not crave anything else after the meal (not even dessert!), my palate is nicely satisfied.
What a TANG-ible mass of fresh green mango, coconut cream and lime. This restaurants always had one of the best mango salads I’ve eaten. Do note it is tangy and not sour which makes a big difference. It has a delectable crunch of fried shrimp and crushed peanuts that really amps up the flavor. Do get this if you try it, its a must! Tai-tai endorsed. ღ
I was clenching my jaw expecting the spicy taste of Tom Yam to seep through my throat. I was in for a pleasant surprise when it wasn’t too spicy but yet had enough to go with the sour base of the soup. The blend of Lemongrass, Tomatoes and and Lime reflects well in this dish without being too overpowering. I loved the mushrooms too, they were slightly hard in texture which actually made it fun to bite.
The green curry is a wonderful mixture of herbs and spices. This savory dish was slightly sweet which made me sip the curry down on its own. The chicken slices given were a little dry though but it was nicely covered up by the beautiful curry. I hated those little green bean things. You would expect something chewy or soft but instead they are hard and burst into your mouth. I think its eggplant beans or something, a clarification on this would be greatly appreciated 
I love dipping the crispy fish into the curry, delicious.
Lime fish which tasted fresh and light. A nice change from the rather heavy texture of curry. The sauce was good, it’d be perfect as soup even!
So far i have been singing praises of the food but now here are my negative reviews. The fried cuttlefish made me feel a little sick after. It speculation but it feels like they reused the oil. But the flavor doesn’t taste too bad really, its quite nice with the garlic crumbs.
The eggs would have been quite nice but its too fluffy that you cant really taste the egg. The crispy parts are nice but it has too much of them.
Here i conclude my post. Xx
