Bangkok JAM @ PLaza Singapura Review

I'm a person that love Thai food a lot, despite I can't really take spicy food. It was a weekend which I feel like shopping at the new extension of plaza singapura.

As it was almost dinner time, walking a few rounds at the extension, we finally settle down at Bangkok Jam.
It was quite crowded but less than 5mins queuing, we were lead to the seat.


Feeling super hungry, I quickly make some orders - Pineapple Rice, Green Curry Chicken with steam rice, mix seafood platter, Clear Tom Yum Soup and Red Ruby, and was been alert that waiting time is about 20mins before the food will be serve. Well in that case I had requested the Red ruby to be serve immediately , at least I can have something down my tummy first.

The Red Ruby dessert was unlike those normal that you get in outside dessert stall. Something worth to try. Instead of having ice, it is served with coconut flavor ice-cream. Light in taste but you can feel refreshing and yummy. At that moment, I thought me and hubby choose the right place to have dinner.

It was only after 20mins, we start asking for the food we had ordered that made me flare up. Food was not serve, and we still need to wait. and in almost 45min we finally got our pineapple rice, and before we start to cool down, why is the table that came later than us have the seafood mix grill first?  Well since I don't want to spoil my mood, I continue to eat while waiting for others food to be serve.

Pineapple rice was quite yummy, except for one scoop which I ate seems like the salt did not mix evenly.


And in around 15mins later, we finally had our next dish serve, which is the mix platter.


For this dish, was rather disappointing. With the price and such portion, really not worth it. Taste was normal as it seems like just putting on top of the charcoal and grill with nothing. Maybe some people will comment that this is how it should be. But frankly speaking, I been often traveling to Thailand for business trip, even those road side stall that charcoal grill the food is better than the plate I had in Bangkok Jam.

It took quite sometimes before another dish was been served, which is the green curry chicken.
Again to my disappointment of the food.

And when we almost finish all the food, my Tom Yum Clear Soup had nowhere to be seen. Doesn't Soup should be served first? And it is rather standard that all restaurant boil a big pot of soup base, and when you order seafood favor, all they need is grab the ingredient and heat it up? I really wonder why it came in the last dish and also not serving piping hot.

The portion is so small that both of us quickly finish up and wanted to leave the place immediately.


The experience with this Bangkok Jam is really bad. Food is so-so, speed is the worst and if you would like me to comment whether value for $$$?? A definite no-no.

With the same amount, I could go Bali Thai have a nice food and good service.

So I'm sorry that Bangkok Jam is coming under my ban list.
