    • Chedi's interiors are tasteful.
    • Salt-fish fried rice features plenty of wok-hei.
    • Isaan-style grilled pork with a tomato salad.
    • A thick yellow curry tends to overwhelm the tender pieces of lobster.
    • A funky, pungent shrimp paste relish outshines the tempura shrimp and broccolini.
    • A fat, intensely seasoned chicken wing is offset with a tangy coconut espuma.
    • Spicy pumpkin soup, fried fish floss and toothfish display a strong sense of originality.
    • Blue-hued jellied waterchestnut and coconut ice cream makes a disappointing dessert.
    • A refreshing take on the famliar miang kam.

    WHETHER it’s cooked by a pure Thai, part-Thai or non-Thai, getting good Thai food in Singapore has always been the luck of the draw. And so far, our luck hasn’t been great.
