What’s not to like about Thai cuisine? Tens of thousands of Singaporeans would visit the nation each year to bask in its splendour and dig into the local food scene. Unfortunately, not everyone is able to travel due to various reasons. Regardless, we may rest easy knowing that real Thai cuisine is readily available in Singapore.
Blue Jasmine is noted for its Thai classics and street cuisine staples, with a menu of shared plates bursting with fresh flavors. Phad Kee Mao Seafood and Cha Om Omelette are two of the restaurant’s signature dishes. With a wide selection of bento boxes, have a taste of all their delicious mains and sides that will guarantee you a filling meal.
Prawns, thai fish cake and a scoop of mango sticky rice are included in the Pad Thai Prawns Bento Set. For a spicy chicken alternative, try the Basil Chicken Krapao or if you are looking for a vegetarian alternative, the Basil Meat-Free Kaprao contains plant-based OmniMeat that is stir fried with snake beans and garlic along with Vegetarian Spring Rolls & Mini Mango Sticky Rice.
