Singapore’s Ann Siang Hill, known for its laid-back charm in contrast to the bustling CBD, is now home to a new dining establishment: Jungle. This Thai grill and bar promises to bring a fresh take on Thai cuisine and offer a unique culinary experience that diverges from traditional Thai restaurants.

Jungle distinguishes itself by spotlighting regional Thai dishes and emphasizing Thailand’s rich and diverse food culture. Unlike typical Thai menus, Jungle’s offerings are crafted with carefully sourced ingredients, hand-pounded curry pastes, and fire-glazed cooking techniques. The restaurant aims to replicate the vibe and flavours of Bangkok’s eclectic late-night venues and vibrant streets in the heart of Singapore’s CBD.

Jungle’s Menu Highlights

Discover the unique dishes on Jungle’s one-page menu. The Pomelo-Lemongrass Salad, a delightful balance of sweet and tangy flavours, and the Northern Duck Laab, a fusion of herbs, spices, and chillies from North Thailand, are just a few of the distinctive offerings.

Indulge in a variety of grill offerings at Jungle. From the Southern-style charcoal-grilled Chicken with a red-curry glaze to the Sugarcane-Smoked Pork Jowl with its sweet, smoky, and umami flavours, there’s something for every palate. Classic Thai curries, such as the Southern Crab Yellow Curry and Beef Penaeng Curry, are also on the menu.

Jungle offers a Grilled Banana Cake with Gula Melaka caramel banana and creamy coconut ice cream for dessert. The drink menu includes a selection of homemade cocktails and an expanding list of sakes and beers.

Vegetarian diners are encouraged to book in advance, as Jungle prepares its vegetarian sauces and ferments from scratch. The restaurant’s commitment to freshness and authenticity means the menu may change frequently.
