Thanying, which means “noble lady” in Thai, has been a fixture in the Singapore food scene since 1988. Renovated in 2019, the restaurant is bright and family-friendly. Enjoy classic Thai dishes meticulously prepared by a team of Thai chefs who source for fresh herbs and greens at the market on a daily basis. Also on the extensive menu are less commonly seen dishes such as the yellow chicken curry, which is a standout. Portions are generous, and a wide vegetarian selection is available. The restaurant prides itself on staying true to recipes from the days of old, no matter how labour intensive they can be. Service is friendly with staff meticulously noting guests’ spice preferences.
