Long Chim is celebrity chef David Thompson’s Singapore outpost, serving robust Thai street fare in a stylish, convivial dining room.

Begin dinner with the mouth-watering grilled long eggplant with dried prawns and steamed egg, which is a great counterpoint to the spiciest dish on the menu: Chiang Mai larp of chicken with Northern spices and herbs. Follow with the tilapia in salt crust, which comes with a lovely sour-spicy dip. To temper all that spice, order one of the creative cocktails on offer or wash it all down with Chang beer.
