There’s something about parenthood that makes us unconsciously put the needs of our kids before our own.
Even when it comes to food, chances are, we’ve been mainly ordering safe food choices that will not get rejected by our little ones. And sometimes that means no spicy food even when we’re craving for it!
It’s time to put yourself first and go for a date night with your spouse.
Here are some of the top Thai restaurants that will not only satisfy your Tom Yam cravings, but also perfect for a romantic night out.

Don’t miss out on their Chef’s specialty, the River Prawn Tom Yam in Young Coconut! And the Tab Tim Krob dessert to end your meal on a sweet note.
