About Nana Original Thai Food Clementi
Nana Original Thai Food Clementi brings the brand's 'enjoy Thai food the way Thais do' ethos to 18 Clementi Road — and keeps the kitchen going around the clock. The website notes that cravings for Thai food are no longer restricted to time at Clementi, one of its 24-hour locations alongside Golden Mile Complex, so pounded salads, hotpots and plates of basil rice are on offer whether you drop by at lunchtime or in the small hours.
The menu leans into the dishes Thais order for themselves. Pounded Thai salads lead the way, from the classic som tam — shredded green papaya with peanuts, tomatoes and a tangy lime dressing — to bolder versions with pickled crab, fermented fish sauce, salted egg, prawns, cockles and flower crab. Mixed Thai salads, fried delights, soups, rice and noodle categories fill out the card, and the restaurant encourages guests to browse the full menu for 'hidden gems,' with curry, seafood, fish, clams, vegetables, vegetarian, dessert and house drink sections beyond.
Clementi has its own exclusive: Moo Krata, the Thai BBQ set with proteins, vegetables and a dipping sauce, listed at this outlet alone. It sits alongside the northeastern-style Thai Hotpot (jim jum) and shareable platters like the Sunny Scramble Platter — a feast of prawn and crab scrambled-egg fried rice, tangy fried papaya salad and crispy garlic chicken for 2–4 pax.
The room is set up for easy, everyday visits: free WiFi runs at all Nana outlets, baby chairs are available for families, and delivery partners GrabFood, Deliveroo and Easi bring the food to your door when you're busy or lazy.
Nana Original Thai Food Clementi: 24-Hour Thai Dining, Pounded Salads and a Tableside BBQ Exclusive
Nana Original Thai Food Clementi keeps things simple and ambitious at once: enjoy Thai food the way Thais do, at any hour you like. The outlet at 18 Clementi Road is one of the brand's 24-hour locations — the website says cravings for Thai food are 'no longer restricted to time' at Clementi and Golden Mile Complex. In practice, that means pounded papaya salads, bubbling tom yum and plates of basil rice are on the table whether you arrive at midday or in the small hours.
The setting is built for easy, everyday eating. Free WiFi is available at every Nana outlet, baby chairs are on hand for families with little ones, and the brand adds a playful nod to travellers, inviting anyone preparing for a trip to Thailand to come and learn Thai dishes in Thai at the restaurant. Staying in? Delivery partners GrabFood, Deliveroo and Easi bring the menu to your door.
The pounded salad line-up
Som tam is the headline act. Nana's Thai Papaya Salad pounds shredded green papaya with peanuts, tomatoes and a tangy lime dressing — a spicy, flavourful classic that customers order again and again. But the Pounded Thai Salad section stretches well beyond the usual: the same mortar-and-pestle treatment is applied to long beans (Beanstalk Salad), cucumber (Tang Salad), fresh corn (Crunchy Corn Salad), salted egg, parboiled prawns and Thai rice noodles. For adventurous palates there are versions with pickled crab and fermented fish sauce — the Mango Pickled Crab Salad pairs shredded green mango with that bold, salty depth — plus a Pounded Flower Crab Salad and an Assorted Salad built on cockles.
The Mixed Thai Salad category runs just as deep: mango salad, crispy pork belly salad, glass noodles with prawns and squid, chicken claw salad, cockles tossed in spicy yum sauce, and the Meat Frenzy Salad — fried chicken, pork and prawns with cashew nuts under a tangy yum drizzle. Thrill-seekers should note the Raw Prawn Salad: fresh prawns cured in Thai fish sauce and served with gourd, garlic, chillies and spicy sauce.
Made for sharing — with a Clementi exclusive
Clementi holds a distinction no other Nana outlet can claim: Moo Krata, the Thai BBQ set, is listed here alone. It arrives with a variety of proteins and vegetables to cook at the table, plus a dipping sauce for a flavourful, satisfying meal. The Thai Hotpot (jim jum) is just as hands-on — a north eastern-style hot pot of meats and veggies for a fun, interactive meal with family and friends.
Feeding a crowd? The Sunny Scramble Platter serves 2–4 pax with Nana's prawn and crab scrambled-egg fried rice, tangy fried papaya salad and crispy garlic chicken. Fried snacks round out the table: pandan-wrapped chicken, Thai prawn cakes in four- or eight-piece serves, ten crispy aromatic wings, deep-fried pork ribs, and a quirky Fried Papaya Salad that plays crispy against soft under a tangy dressing.
The classics, any hour
Beyond the salads, the kitchen covers the Thai greatest hits. Tom Yum comes in creamy or clear form, built on shrimp, mushrooms and lemongrass. Basil Rice is stir-fried with Thai basil and egg — choose chicken or pork, with seafood, prawn and squid options listed — and Pad Thai anchors the noodle category as one of the dishes customers order most. The online menu hints at much more, with categories for curry, seafood, fish, clams, vegetables, vegetarian dishes, desserts and house drinks; the restaurant itself suggests browsing the full menu to find hidden gems.
Nana Original Thai Food is a Singapore group with outlets at Clarke Quay, Aperia, Far East Plaza, Tampines, Jurong and Punggol as well, so the brand travels with you around the island — but the Clementi branch keeps its own hours and its own signature BBQ set. Whether it's a midnight plate of basil rice, a weekend Moo Krata session with friends or a solo som tam fix, this kitchen is ready, 24 hours a day, at 18 Clementi Road.
