Singapore’s vibrant culinary scene welcomes Jungle, a new Thai grill and bar located at Ann Siang Hill. Officially opened on June 19, 2024, Jungle promises to captivate guests with its unique take on Thai cuisine, combining traditional flavors with modern twists in a relaxed, stylish setting.
For the unbeknownst, Jungle is not your typical Thai restaurant. Instead, it draws deeply from Thailand’s rich and diverse food culture, showcasing a curated selection of regional dishes brought to life with carefully sourced ingredients and artisanal cooking methods. The open-fire kitchen and soundtrack of classic funk and soul add to the laid-back yet sophisticated atmosphere.
Signature Dishes to Savor
The menu at Jungle features a range of distinctive dishes that highlight the best of Thai cooking:
- Pomelo-Lemongrass Salad: A refreshing starter made with dried shrimp, homemade candied coconut, and Thai pomelo, offering a tantalizing balance of sweet and tangy flavors.
- Northern Duck Laab: A robust blend of herbs, spices, and chilies, this dish is a rare find outside the rural North of Thailand.
- Southern Style Charcoal Grilled Chicken: Known as Gai Golae, this succulent dish is slow-cooked over hot embers and topped with a hand-pounded red-curry glaze.
- Sugarcane Smoked Pork Jowl: A must-try tender dish smoked with lychee wood and sugarcane before being finished over charcoal.
- Southern Crab Yellow Curry: A crowd-pleaser that seafood lovers will adore, with rotating curry offerings to keep the menu exciting.
Vegetarian Options and Desserts
While vegetarians currently need to book ahead, Jungle is working to include vegetarian options permanently on the menu. For dessert, don’t miss the Grilled Banana Cake with Gula Melaka caramel and coconut ice cream, a decadent treat that combines warm, caramelized banana with creamy coconut ice cream.

Complementing the food, Jungle offers a small selection of homemade cocktails, a curated low-intervention wine program, and a growing list of sakes and beers.
