About Song (by Kin Kao)

Song means "two" in Thai, a nod to it being the team's second restaurant. The kitchen offers a distinctive take on Thai dishes that you won't find elsewhere in the city.

Judges praised its complex flavours and a room that works for casual hangouts and celebrations alike, with cocktails built on tom yum, toasted rice and Thai tea.
