Bangkok's trendy cafe chain has landed on our shores. Replacing Cedele on the ground level of Paragon, Greyhound combines a chic glasshouse setting with cheeky aesthetics (check out the slogans on the servers' shirts) and Thai-fusion dishes. Signatures include the Greyhound Famous Fried Chicken Wings ($16) and Complicated Noodles ($18), the latter named so because it requires you to nimbly wrap together bite-sized parcels of noodle sheets, minced pork sauce and a couple more toppings. We really like the Fried Salmon Toro with Dip ($14), a starter of salmon belly with tangy tonkatsu sauce and jaew mayo (a moderately spicy Thai dried chili sauce), and the Crab Meat Fried Rice with a Twist ($28). We're not sure what the twist is, but we like that the tasty rice comes topped with real crab meat. If it's your first time to Greyhound, try the Thai Tea Granita ($9.50). Prices here are a lot higher compared to its Bangkok outlets, but it's still worth a visit to find out what all the hype's about. Pro tip: Come early as signatures sell out fast, and also allocate plenty of time for your meal — the servers were rather slow and disorganised when we visited.
Avg Price: $35 per person
