Juicy Thai pork ribs in Raffles Place
PUBLISHED ONJanuary 16, 2017 2:25 AMByWong Ah Yoke
Sabai Fine Thai On The Bay is my go-to place for fine Thai food. I was there recently and the manager recommended a new dish I had not tried before. The deep-fried smoked honey pork ribs ($24.50, photo) were excellent, with well-marinated and juicy meat.
I was also happy to be reacquainted with an old favourite of mine - red curry with roasted duck, coconut cream, sweet basil leaves and seasonal fresh fruits ($26.50). The curry has a nice balance of spiciness and sweetness, the sweetness coming from pieces of pineapple and lychee. The duck is meaty and I like that it is not cooked till soft, but still retains the juices of a freshly roasted bird.
