With over 30+ outlets in Singapore, CRAVE is well known for their famous Adam Road nasi lemak by Selera Rasa and famous Amoy Street teh tarik from Rafee's Corner. Given the current situation that travelling is still pretty much restricted, CRAVE launches seasonal Thai-inspired dishes and drinks under the "Taste of Thailand" menu so that we Singaporean can satisfy our cravings to savour the delicious cuisine of Thailand.
"Thailand is one of my favourite holiday destinations. When we were brainstorming ideas for new products, Thai food came into our mind as both cuisines share some similarities in terms of flavours. We are very excited to combine our local favourite fare nasi lemak with popular Thai street food dishes, so that customers can enjoy the best of both worlds at one go," said Abdul Malik.
Long basmati grains are used and prepared using Abdul Malik Bin Hassan's (owner of Selera Rasa) family recipe that has been passed down over generations to create piping hot bowls of fragrant coconut rice.
The three main Nasi Lemak dishes found in this new menu are:
Nasi Lemak with Basil Chicken (from S$7.50)
Thai basil chicken is a famous street food in the country, a simple yet heavenly combination of the fragrant Thai basil and tender chicken. Served with a sunny-side-up egg, CRAVE's rendition pays tribute to this classic dish, with the ground chicken stir-fried with a generous amount of basil leaf and chili padi.
Nasi Lemak with Thai Green Curry Chicken (from S$7.90)
Another quintessential Thai dish is the green curry chicken. CRAVE uses a medley of herbs and spices, including green chilies, belachan, lemongrass, parsley, kaffir lime leaves, cumin, coriander, shallots and garlic, to achieve the curry's signature savoury and sweet punch.
Nasi Lemak with Stewed Beef Curry (from S$9.90)
Beef lovers will relish the flavours of this comforting dish. Beef cubes are stewed for hours in a pot along with chili powder, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, curry and turmeric powder, to name a few ingredients. Each sip of the curry hits the right spot of spicy, savoury and sweet!
During the lunch-time tasting session held at the Guoco Tower B2 outlet, we tried the Nasi Lemak with Basil Chicken as well as the Nasi Lemak with Thai Green Curry Chicken. My favourite has got to be the Nasi Lemak with Thai Green Curry Chicken. The spicy level is just nice for me, in fact it would be even better if they could add a bit more of the curry sauce. We also had their signature sides, fried bergedil and chicken wing. Thumbs up!
Just as important to Thailand's food scene will be the Thai Milk Tea. Under this new menu will be the Pearly Thai Milk Tea (S$4) which is made with authentic Thai black tea leaves and a blend of sweetened condensed as well as evaporated milk. They also served Pearly Bandung which is really sweet. I love the chewy pearls inside.
CRAVE's Taste of Thailand menu will be available in-store across all outlets for a limited period of time. From 24th March to 6th April 2021, it will be exclusively on foodpanda for delivery and from 7th April 2021 onwards, it will be available on various delivery platforms.
Thanks Kenny @_boyz86 for jio-ing me to this lunch time tasting knowing that I'm a big CRAVE's Nasi Lemak lover.
XOXO
