Thanying Restaurant

Opened in 1988, Thanying is one of Singapore’s longest-running Thai restaurants, and its longevity speaks to a level of consistency that few establishments can claim. The food is confidently executed and comforting rather than showy, with flavours that feel both familiar and well-considered. The peek gai sod sai is an undeniable highlight. Crisp on the outside and tender within, the chicken is meticulously deboned and stuffed with a fragrant mixture of minced meat and Thai herbs. This version stands out well above others in its class. Such precision extends to the rest of the dining experience, where guests are given the flexibility to adjust spice levels to suit their personal tolerance. This inclusive approach is further reflected in the extensive vegetarian menu. Offering nearly 30 dishes that mirror the complexity of the non-vegetarian options, the menu ensures that no guest is an afterthought.
