How to Enjoy Thai Food at Best Thai Restaurant in Singapore?

Where to Enjoy Authentic Thai Food at Top Thai Restaurant in Singapore & How to Get the Best Experience You Can't Miss

Thai food in Singapore? Absolute goldmine. But with so many places claiming to be “authentic,” it’s easy to end up with a sad plate of soggy Pad Thai if you don’t know where to look. If you’re a total newbie or someone who orders extra chilli without flinching, there’s always a better way to do Thai right.

This is your ultimate guide to getting the best Thai dining experience without falling into tourist traps. We’re talking what to eat, how to eat it (yes, there’s a method), and exactly where to go. No spice left behind.


What Thai Food Should Be on Your List And Where to Find Them in Singapore?

If you’re on the hunt for bold, punchy flavours, Authentic Thai cuisine is the way to go. And in a city like Singapore where good food is practically a national pastime there’s no reason to stick to just one dish.

The smart move? Sample a little of everything. Go for the spicy seafood curry, sure, but don’t sleep on the tangy salad or the smoky stir-fry. Variety keeps things interesting, helps you pace yourself, and yes lets you eat more without realizing it.

At Bangkok Jam, the menu reads like a greatest hits of Thai street food. We’ve pulled together a shortlist of standout dishes worth trying. Plus where to find them across their locations in Singapore. Get your appetite ready.

How to Enjoy Thai Food Correctly (Yes, There Is a Right Way)

Love Thai food? Same. But eating it the Thai way? That’s where the magic happens more flavor, better balance, and zero tourist vibes.

Tools of the Trade: Spoon + Fork

  • Forget chopsticks (unless it’s Thai boat noodles).

  • Use a spoon in your dominant hand and a fork in the other.

  • Fork pushes, spoon scoops, spoon goes in your mouth. Easy.

Why? Because Thai dishes are saucy think clear tom yum soup and Thai red curry. A spoon catches all that fragrant and flavourful.

Rice Rules

  • Rice isn’t a side it’s essential. Every bite should include some Thai rice mixed with curry, stir-fry, or whatever’s on your plate.

  • Trying basil pork, sea bass, or Thai pork? Pair it with rice. Always.

Sharing is Caring

  • Thai meals = shared dishes in the middle.

  • Start small. Try a bit of everything. Go back for more.

  • This keeps it exciting and prevents Thai food cravings from turning into food waste.

Soup Etiquette

No slurping from the bowl in public. Use your spoon, or pour a bit over rice. You’re still getting all that delicious Thai spicy goodness.

Pro Tips

  • No need to overload your plate.

  • Try rich, light, spicy, and tangy dishes in rotation. That’s the Thai kitchen way.

  • Extra rice? Totally normal. Go back for more!
