Thai Paradise @ Clementi Ave 5 - New Thai Eatery In The West To Spice Up Your Meal

Thai Paradise is a new Thai eatery located at Clementi Ave 5 near the Clementi police station. Though it has limited seats, the standalone eatery offers an extensive menu ranging from one meal dishes to cooked dishes for a family meal.

Basil Pork with Rice & Egg 4/5

As we were at Thai Paradise for lunch, we ordered the one meal dishes accompanied by several side items. First is the Basil Pork with Rice & Egg ($6.50). The pricing is very reasonable, with a decent portion for a meal dish. The flavours for the basil pork are on the spot, which goes very well with the steamed rice. I only hope that it can be spicier.

Beef Noodle 4/5

If you prefer noodles over rice, the Beef Noodle ($5.90) is a delicious consideration. The beef noodle comes in a robust and thick broth, accompanied by beef slices, beansprouts and beef balls. I usually add a bit of Thai chilli flakes to give it some extra kick, boosting the enjoyment.

Grilled Pork Cheek 3/5

Next, we have the Grilled Pork Cheek ($12), which looks like boiled pork instead of being grilled. It's tender and clean tasting. Best to have it with the accompanying Thai chilli sauce. However, I prefer it to be more grilled and charred for that smoky aroma.

Tom Yum Milk Red 4/5

You can go for either the clear or red for tom yum soup. I decided to go for the Tom Yum Milk Red ($7/$12/$18), creamy, spicy and brimming with seafood.

Pandan Chicken 4.5/5

A must-try is the Pandan Chicken ($8.90 for 4pc). The chicken is deep-fried to crispy on the outside yet tender and juicy inside. It even comes with a beautiful pandan and lemongrass aroma.

Mango Sticky Rice 4.2/5

Red Ruby 4.2/5

We had the Mango Sticky Rice ($5.90) and Red Ruby ($4), Wrapping up our lunch. These desserts are legit, using the freshest ingredients. They are not to be missed to complete a satisfying meal at Thai Paradise.

Note: This is an invited tasting.

Poisson @ Bukit Pasoh Road - Newest Seafood Restaurant Taking Guests Around The Globe With Premium Seafood

Opened in March 2022, Poisson is the newest seafood restaurant located in a restored heritage shophouse on the ground floor of Bukit Pasoh Road. The marine-inspired restaurant features an innovative menu inspired by the world's coastal cities with a distinct Poisson twist.

The menu at Poisson is mainly made up of two sections - Cold Stream and Hot Stream. There are referring to small plates and big plates for sharing. There is even an Omakase Platter priced at $360++ per couple.

Smoke Uno 5/5

Making an impressive entry in a smoked jar is the Smoke Uno ($62). Not only is it pretty, but it is deliciously good too. It features a prized assembly of bafun uni, caviar, negitoro, salmon roe, tamago, and seaweed on top of a housemade crispy cereal crunch. Though there are many flavours and textures at play, they complemented one another harmoniously.

Rainbow 4.2/5

The Rainbow ($26) is a refreshing starter whereby cured salmon trout is served with baby beetroot, basil-infused ricotta with the crunch of red radish and pickled fennel.

The Game 4.5/5

A favourite dish is The Game ($24) which features grilled squid marinated in garlic and finishes with a tangy onion and tomato puree. The excellent pairing brightens the enjoyment of the squid.

John 4.2/5

The next seafood dish we had was John ($48). The John Dory is perfectly grilled to showcase the firm-textured fish's moist fine flakes. The white fish is lightly seasoned and paired with basil & tomato vinaigrette to appreciate the buttery fish.

Good Catch Toff 4.5/5

The Good Catch Toff ($35) is a vegetarian dish and the only carbo dish on the menu. The creamy housemade toffee pasta is tossed with luscious hand-peeled mangrove crab and salted bottarga. Both comforting and hearty, this is a must-order dish at Poisson.

Choco De Coco 4.2/5

There are only three choices for dessert on the menu, and we decided to go for the Choco De Coco ($15), comprising 70% warm chocolate with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. You can even find bits of chestnut in the chocolate for that extra textural enjoyment and sweetness.

Besides the food, Poisson also has an extensive wine list hand-pick from the finest French vintages from Alsace, Bordeaux, Burgundy, Cote des Blancs, Loire Valley and Provence with a careful focus on organic, sustainable wines from independent boutique wineries. It also offers an impressive sake selection, offering diners an alternative to wines.
