| - If you're searching for authentic Singapore food, then I highly recommend you not to come here.
My boyfriend and I already knew beforehand that this was a 'fusion' restaurant, so with open minds we went in...
We ordered two Tiger beers ($6/bottle imported from Singapore), the Hainanese chicken ($13), and a Laksa noodle ($10 for a medium bowl).
The Hainanese chicken as expected was not the greatest. The chicken was indeed slightly dry, but after combining the ginger and the two sauces (chili sauce and sweet soy sauce) with the chicken, I didn't mind it that much. We ate all of it.
Surprisingly, the rice was SUPER delicious! Might actually be the best rice I've had from a Hainanese chicken dish.
(FYI - this is not plain ol'rice, the rice in this dish is usually infused with chicken broth, ginger, garlic, and chicken fat)
The Laksa...well, it didn't taste anything close to an authentic Laksa, but more of a Thai Green-Curry crossover version. It was a tasty noodle dish though, but its not Laksa.
The service here was absolutely great. It really makes a drastic difference on your whole experience. The two waitresses were friendly, attentive, and fast.
I would probably come back with some friends who don't have a clue about Singapore food, as it was a very enjoyable evening with good drinks, lovely service, and a 'fresh take' on Singapore cuisine.
