SOUTHERN-THAI MALAY DISHES AT SIAM KITCHEN. Featuring seven dishes with tastes unique yet familiar to Singaporeans, these new additions to its a la carte menu include the Kai Kor Lae, or Southern-Thai-style grilled chicken wings, and Khao Mok Gai, which is a Thai-Malay-style chicken biryani. The latter is a speciality in Southern Thailand’s Muslim community. The chicken drumstick is cooked with curry powder, coconut milk, turmeric, cumin, cinnamon and other Thai spices. Another southern speciality is the Khua Kling Gai — stir-fried minced chicken in a spicy yellow curry — which, unlike its usual curries, is a dry meat curry.
