\nAnyone who has been to Bangkok will have heard of the renowned Thai restaurant Nara; its delicious food attracts many visitors. A couple of weeks ago, Nara\u2019s sister restaurant, Apinara, opened a branch at Pacific Place. I went back there last week Apinara<\/span><\/span> We had dinner and tried quite a few delicious dishes; let me briefly introduce a few of them to you.
\n
\nAt the renowned Thai restaurant Apinara, start your meal with an aperitif called the \u2018Siam Myth\u2019, made with vodka, pineapple juice, lime juice, chilli and lemongrass.

This Thai-style raw prawn, of Japanese sashimi grade, is so fresh that you can taste the difference the moment it touches your tongue; it is in a completely different league to ordinary Vietnamese raw prawns.

This Tom Yum Goong, with its Central Thai flavour profile, is not overly spicy, allowing the rich, savoury flavour of the prawn heads and roe to really shine through.

Next up is the signature starter, the Thai meatballs\u2014substantial and made with quality ingredients. Wrap them in lettuce and tuck in; you\u2019ll want to lick your fingers clean.<\/p>\n

Another portion of fresh, springy fried prawns; whilst they may look rather ordinary on the outside, Apinara sources their prawns well, and the deep-frying process ensures they remain wonderfully springy.

Feeling thirsty? I ordered another glass of Thai tea with rum, but this time I asked for half the usual amount of alcohol. The tea\u2019s aroma came through immediately\u2014rich and intoxicating, with a real depth of flavour.

And finally, we proudly present our Thai-style shaved ice, priced at just $68. Each serving features a layer of creamy ice cream at the bottom, plus 12 generous scoops of Thai toppings\u2014from jellies and mango to red beans, coconut jelly, sweetcorn and peanuts\u2026 you name it, we\u2019ve got it all! ! Blown away, aren\u2019t you?!<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s the delightful surprise when you take a sip\u2026 The signature mango sticky rice drink, the richly flavoured Thai tea pudding, and the sinfully tempting durian ice cream are all not to be missed!!<\/p>\n
