“ Ate lunch Yhingthai Palace. I was not disappointed at all. We had the Rice crackers with a light chicken & coconut milk sauce, very nice. Then Tom Yum clear soup with seafood. The spice heat was just right. We then had the grilled beef, deep fried chicken wings, red beef curry, green chicken curry and pineapple rice. Each dish was excellent! For dessert we had Thai red rubies & mango & sticky rice. I will return! ”

“ I was worried the recent reviews were a sign of decline - a restaurant which picked up Michelin recognition and packed in any effort. I was wrong. This was a fantastic meal. We split the lunch set (10 pax). The crispy rice chips were perfectly crisp and paired well with the prawn and chicken. The Tom Yum Soup was very refreshing and mildly spicy. The Chicken Wings and Scallops were also excellent. The Green Curry was nothing special and the Pomfret was too heavily fried - but the desserts (the Tapioca especially) rounded off an excellent meal with great service. ”

“ Really really good thai food. I was very impressed with this restaurant. The atmosphere is very nice although people still dress quite casually and the service is generally quite good. The prices are reflective of the atmosphere, but it's absolutely worth it for a delicious thai meal. I will go back again and again - especially for the tom yum soup. Only negative was they do not have a liquor license right now, but you can bring your own and pay a corkage fee. Food: Tom Yum soup - incredible, must order. Note, it is a bit spicy Green Curry - Very good Duck curry - very good Spring rolls - good, but not blown away pad thai - very good Pineapple rice - very good ”

“ Absolutely fantastic food and service. In Australia we're treated to a grand choice of Thai cuisine, but this is hands down the best Thai I've eaten, including when I've been to various places in Thailand. Whilst the stuffed chicken wings seem to be the house's speciality, it was the red duck curry, fresh papaya salad, strip-steak salad that were my personal favourites. The strip-steak salad actually comprises excellently grilled steak, rather than the dry, chewy, beef you're often treated to in many Asian cuisines. The staff were very busy, as the restaurant is quite popular on a Saturday, but still managed to provide prompt service with a smile. The one thing I will warn of though, and this is by no means a negative, is that when a dish is typically served with chilli in Thailand, expect it to be close to as hot as the Thais like it. For my wife, this was a step too hot, but for me, I loved it. In Australia we're used to "white person" hot where the dishes have a mild kick and it was a (somewhat welcome) surprise to have some face-melting chilli in the mix. If you're sensitive to heat, ask them to tone it down a notch. I also assume this is why locals order more modest (aka bland) dishes and we were the only ones with interesting looking food on our plates. One last little trinket if you've made it this far: avoid the glutinous rice and durian. It's served like porridge and unless you really REALLY like durian (and that sort of rice + custard + fruit style) avoid it and order something else. It's not often I'm smiling at the end of a meal. I think this may be my favourite Singaporean meal, if not one of my favourites ever. ”

“ Gluten free! Yep, a Thai restaurant in Purvis St and it is safe to eat in :-) I love Singapore - this is my 3rd visit in a year for work but being gluten free has been hard. In Asia and I want Asian food but every time I show my diet card, I'm told 'nothing for you here'. We found Shingthai near the top of Purvis St and I was glad we did. The menu says to check with staff over dietary requirements so I did, gave my order and was told that was ok. I had the spicy beef salad and the pineapple rice with pork and prawns. Both were stellar dishes. Lovely medium cooked slices of beef and they didn't stint on the beef either. The pineapple rice was fab too - beautifully flavoured with a great balance of sweet and savoury. I'll be honest and admit I didn't pay much attention to the decor and didn't use the toilets. Food came fairly quickly so once that was on the table, we all munched away. The meals come when ready so not starter then main style but that was fine for us. We were $40 sing for starter and main and a drink. Portions are pretty large per person and many dishes can be made to share too. Well worth a visit and as a gluten free person, a fab meal that was safe for me :-) ”

“ The other delicious food was gobbled up before I can take a photo. Pomelo salad is awesome. A little on the sweet side but such a great appetizer. We also always order the stuffed chicken wings, always a crowd pleaser. The deep fried pomfret is also great. It doesn't come as a whole fish though, it is cut into a few big pieces. The olive rice is easily the best you can find in town. You have to like olive though because their version here comes with a very generous portion of olives all fried within. Tossed it with some tiny lime pieces and chilli, it is brilliant and totally hits the spot. End it with mango sticky rice and tapioca! ”

“ Along the stretch of shophouses restaurants at Purvis Street, you will find Yhingthai Palace, a restaurant that serves authentic Thai-Chinese cuisine. The ambience is nice and cosy with cushiony walls and Thai décor. To complete any Thai meal, there has to be Tom Yum Soup. The rendition of the Tom Yum Soup here is clear and tangy as compared to the red and creamy one that is served at other restaurants. The clear broth is very palatable but a tad too spicy. The fresh and succulent prawns in the soup make up for it though. I ordered the Pineapple Fried Rice too, which was delightfully fragrant and flavorsome. The pineapple, egg and prawns in the rice all contributed to the aroma, while the pork floss on top completed the dish. All in all, a pleasant experience and I would patronize this restaurant again to satisfy any Thai food cravings. ”
