Review: Bangkok Jam (3 out of 5 bear paws)
Clever name for a Thai restaurant ! Evokes both the hustle and bustle of crowded Bangkok streets, and chilli "jam"/sauce.
The 2Bears were wandering around Great World City when we stumbled across this uber-minimalist restaurant on the 2nd floor, a new concept from the Creative Eateries chain that also owns Siam Kitchen and Patara. It was so pared down, there weren't even menus at the door, so we barged in and demanded to see what was on offer.
The flavours were traditional but the presentation was cutting-edge. We liked:
- the Thai bento box (with custom spaces for curry, a bowl of soup, Thai salad, a lime wedge, chilli sauce and rice); and
- the chicken wings where the winglet was cleverly dejointed, i.e. separated before frying. So you won't have to undertake the messy exercise of extricating the slivers of meat between the winglet bones.
The only gripe was the lack of a green papaya or mango salad on the menu. This restaurant used cucumber as a substitute for the (more expensive) fruit. No tang, no thanks.
