SABAI FINE THAI ON THE BAY

01-02 Customs House, 70 Collyer Quay, S(049323)

TEL: 6535 3718/19 Meals here explore the colourful flavours of Thai cuisine, with options arranged on a long and varied menu, including a large section of vegetarian dishes. Items are laden with decent doses of tongue-warming spice, from a whole seabass served in a lime-green, fiery marinade of bird’s eye chilli, garlic and piquant lime to a pad gaprao featuring clumps of whole green peppercorn. Among the best dishes are the wing bean salad, with full-bodied shrimp flavour and the heady, sweet hints of grated coconut; a creamy massaman curry; and fresh coconut sorbet that tastes like the freshly plucked fruit. The wine list is varied, but don’t expect any cheaply priced bottles.
