The Golden Peanut

Serious Thai in the north. You book a table here—weeks in advance. The Golden Peanut delivers a sensory trip of punch-in-the-palate flavour. Diners tracking the Reservoir food scene crown this the undisputed heavyweight for authentic, vibrant plates. The dining room is tight. It gets loud. That’s the pulse of a kitchen doing things right. Start with the crispy fish betel leaf—a flawless, textural bite of modern *miang kham*. The green chicken curry? Phenomenal. Their crispy barramundi salad is an absolute masterclass in balance. Hand the reins over and order the 'feed me' menu—the kitchen pivots effortlessly for vegans and vegetarians. Just save room for the black rice pudding. A sharp squeeze of fresh lime over the top changes the whole game.
