Siam Kitchen (Khatib)

Siam Kitchen is a casual Thai restaurant on the ground floor of the HomeTeamNS Khatib clubhouse at 2 Yishun Walk, in the north of Singapore. The menu covers home-style Thai cooking and street food favourites, from tom yum soup and green curry to pad thai.

The restaurant is run by Creative Eateries, a Singapore group whose other brands include Suki-Ya, Tajimaya and Sarai Fine Thai. The cooking is done by chefs from Thailand. Khatib is now the brand's only outlet, as the former branch at SAFRA Toa Payoh has closed.

What to order

The restaurant names three dishes as its signatures: red tom yum soup, chicken in green curry, and fish head in tom yum curry. The fish head is a good pick for a group, as it is made for sharing.

The full menu is long and easy to build a meal from. Some dishes to look for:

• Starters: Thai fish cakes, prawn cakes, pandan-wrapped chicken, stuffed chicken wings and grilled chicken satay.
• Salads: green papaya salad, mango salad and a spicy seafood salad with glass noodles.
• Soups and curries: red tom yum with mixed seafood, clear tom yum with chicken, and red curry with seafood.
• Rice and noodles: pineapple fried rice, crabmeat egg fried rice, Thai basil with minced meat on rice, and pad thai.
• Drinks: Thai milk tea, Thai green milk tea and lemongrass tea.

Set lunches are also offered. Promotions change through the year, so check the website for the current ones.

The setting

The dining room is casual, with decor that draws on Thai design. It suits family meals and relaxed group dinners. The clubhouse around it is busy with other things to do, including a large indoor adventure hub, a swimming pool and an indoor playground. Several other restaurants share the building.
