Eating in Singapore

[Vanessa07]

Hey AFF People!
Heading to Singapore 11th August.
I know there are so many amazing restaurants there, however I don't have the time to trawl through and find one!! Hoping you helpful people might once again be able to assist.

Looking for:

• lunch for 3 people
• around SG$100 per person (food only), possibly a set menu
• maybe with a view, if not, no bother

Go for a walk around Tanjong Pagar. Plenty of nice restaurants in restored shophouses.

Peony Jade in Amara hotel (also in Tanjong Pagar) is amazing. The person who runs it is the brother of the late owner of The Old Raffles Place in Collingwood (Melbourne).

Also the Arab quarter is worth a visit, especially if you're traveling during Ramadan.

lunch for 3 people

So many places for for the price, I would suggest:

Quay House : Asian Tapas (Singapore River neighbourhood)
Dragon Chamber: the entrance is through a fridge door of a non descript local cafe . Closed apparently moving to a new location.
Whitegrass: The "executive" lunch is if I recall about $100 before the "++" added on.

++ in singapore means service charge and GST is extra - add 19%. Which is a silly number - just add 20%.

But really for the price, I would rather hit the great hawker food that is Singapore (bring small $ cash unless you have Alipay or WechatPay but most do cash):
Maxwell Food Centre
Lau Pa Sat
Chinatown complex (biggest in SG)
Tiong Bahru
Newton

If not familiar with Hawker food, maybe get a Hawker food tour guide

Last December a mate and I went to Ce La Vie at MBS which was absolutely sensational, although quite pricey. I think indoor seating where we were had a minimum spend of SGD100 per person, but I also had probably one of the top 2 best steaks of my life there and we got some incredible photos so it was worth it.
I went back again at the start of June and couldn’t get in there but I did go back to the Maxwell Food Centre and Lau Pa Sat which are both hawker markets with fantastic food, also went to Xiao Ya Tou which is a lovely little restaurant recommended by my uncle who is one hell of a foodie, and Wing Seong Fatty’s, a lovely simple Asian spot patronised by many airline crews on their layovers.
On my last night there I went to Kinki which had some nice drinks at a decent price and a great view of the MBS but I don’t recall if they had food available or not, possibly in the downstairs area.
