Nahm has recently secured its top spot in the World’s Best 50 Restaurants. Thai cuisine is showcased by using some of the best market-fresh produce in the world, all carefully put together by Executive Chef David Thompson and his experienced team.
A menu with simple design.
The pool view was tranquil but we also risked getting fed to the mozzies.
A thoughtful gesture by the restaurant.
Amuse bouche of a bread slice with a savoury topping - delightful though I can barely remember what it is!
Sour Duck Soup
This is a lot easier on the palette, with sweet undertones in the mushrooms and duck. Heartier and easy to pair with rice.
Tom Yum Soup
The
spice level of this thai delicacy was too fiery to handle. The
delicious burns whatever it comes into contact with and leaves such a
spicy trail, it takes an addiction to pain to embrace this with open
arms and an open mouth. This is one dish that made me go – someone
finally understood the beauty of thai cuisine and brought it to fruition
in one single broth dish. The country may be in shambles politically
but the rich culture shines through its food.
Our beautifully plated rice.

Crab and Duck
This cream based dish made rice such a perfect accompaniment with the dishes.
Not forgetting the duck that came with it - slivers of roasted bliss.

Bamboo fish braised with wild ginger and asian celery (700 THB)
I
usually scoff fish dishes and this was a mellow version of braised fish
with a pile of asian herbs and condiments. Very likeable and a
refreshing respite from their spicy alternatives.
Grilled pork cheek with smoky tomato sauce (600 THB)

I
love pork cheek, despite this part of the pig being the highest in
purine levels. Char grilled pieces of tender meat, the smoky tomato
sauce was quite a lovely smoky contrast.
Rambutan in scented syrup with thai cup cakes (280 THB)
Rambutans
have to be the most underrated tropical fruits for dessert.
These were soaked in a fruity syrup and served with scallion thai pancakes – we could not have picked a better dessert though mango sticky rice would have been the most close to heart for thai dessert.

One of an epic meal at Nahm, our senses were brought onto a journey.
