The Raffles Hotel's branch has the same garden subject every bit its big sis at the Botanic gardens, alongside added colonial vibes. Planted leafage matched alongside colonial vogue dark together with white subject decor, together with tall classic French windows giving the interior natural lighting during the day. Check out the centerpiece, a carved wooden tabular array made from a 150yrs one-time tree.
Interesting tabular array setting alongside cutlery housed inwards an one-time schoolhouse tin give the axe container together with H2O ice H2O served inwards a wine/beer bottle. The card hither showcased modern European dishes alongside Asian influences.
We ordered a principal class each together with 2 appetizers for sharing.
For drinks, I had the Ginger Jive $12++, a concoction of fresh ginger, fruits together with wild honey. I love its refreshing fruity gustation alongside subtle hints of ginger kick. Some of my friends had their signature Halia Infusion $10++, a ginger imbibe served alongside wild dear (hot/cold). The ginger gustation was to a greater extent than prominent for this imbibe every bit compared to my mocktail.
Appetizers were served soon afterwards nosotros placed orders. Crispy tabular array salt & chilli squid $15++ served alongside piquant mayo together with ginger & jump onion lime dip, together with Potato fries $8++ served alongside piquant mayo together with truffle aioli dip. Both were delish together with addictive to munch on.
The principal courses did non accept long to last served but alas, they keyed inwards the incorrect fellowship for 2 of our dishes. The apologetic staff explained the mistake to us, together with chop-chop served upward or together with then other ready of appetizers (on the house) for us to kill fourth dimension (another 15mins wait) spell they range the dishes. Good service recovery from the restaurant!
My Halibut en Papillote $44++, baked fish fillet wrapped inwards parchment newspaper alongside mirin broth together with veggies, served alongside sushi rice together with wakame. This was a fabulous dish, fish was succulent together with good infused alongside flavors. The rice topped alongside seaweed together with cucumbers has a overnice contrast of textures too. Thumbs up.
My friend's Slow Cooked Canadian Pork Loin $33++, was amazingly tender despite its 2" thickness. We suspect it has been sous vide for long hours earlier pan frying to accomplish the overnice browning on its exterior. Another first-class dish.
Steak & Eggs $30++, alongside extra Bacon plough over off upward at $4++, served alongside grilled tomatoes, poached eggs & spinach on toast, together with buttery Béarnaise sauce. The steak's doneness was simply right, retaining its moist together with juicy texture, wonderfully executed.
To terminate the enjoyable luncheon on a sweetness note, liberate dessert was served. Crème Brûlée alongside Rum & Raisins H2O ice cream, together with a Happy Birthday message. This uncomplicated looking dish tasted much improve than its looks, nosotros were non disappointed.

Magnificent food, incredible service, coupled alongside lovely ambiance, a swell selection for that particular occasion yous are planning to celebrate.
