COLONIAL CLUB
The Colonial Club takes diners on a gastronomic journey through Singapore's rich culinary heritage.
Patrons at the restaurant, which can accommodate 70 to 80 people, will find a mix of heritage cuisines, which include Hainanese-style Western offerings, Nonya dishes and local favourites with British colonial influence.
One of its signatures is the Straits Nonya Laksa with Soft Shell Crab ($18.90++). For this dish, the chefs visited Melaka to pick up tips from local chefs working in famous eateries.
There is also the Signature Colonial Club Nasi Lemak ($15.90++, above) - the restaurant's version has fragrant blue pea rice and short-rib rendang.
The Colonial Style Oxtail Stew with Toasted Baguette ($15.90++) is a classic dish that takes many hours to cook and features potatoes and carrot in a thick and rich gravy.
Do not miss the Colonial Style Hainanese Chicken Chop ($15.90++), which features pan-fried, cracker-crusted chicken thigh drenched in an in-house tomato Worcestershire sauce.
