Chinatown & the CBD
From the kitschy vintage posters to the meticulous cocktails to the wow-oh-wow modern takes on Southeast Asian flavours, it's all about attention to detail at this iconic Asian fusion restaurant. Book a table and drool over char siew pork belly with caramalised pineapple, duck dumplings with roasted duck consommé and baby bok choy or the moreish Ding Dong Scotch egg.
Good-value options include a weekday two-/three-course set lunch (S$29/37) and 'feed me' menus (S$78) for indecisive gourmets.
