Colony


Rarely do I get so excited about a buffet restaurant. Colony at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore has a gorgeous British-colonial setting.

Eight different conservatory kitchens incorporating live cooking offer Singapore heritage cuisine and more. One place where you can bring your foreign friends to try out our local delicacies all at one go.

While you are here, it is a necessity to leave with the signature Colony Laksa with Homemade Lobster Ball. The gravy is lemak (coconut-y), mildly spicy and out-and-out satisfying.

Address: Level 3, The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore, 7 Raffles Avenue Singapore 039799
MRT: Promenade
After the meal: A short walk to Singapore Flyer, that giant Ferris wheel, for a different view of Singapore.

Amoy Street Food Centre

Several good food centres start with “A” actually – Amoy Street Food Centre, ABC Brickworks Food Centre, and Alexandra Village Food Centre. Amoy Street Food Centre located in the central business district continues to offer quality hawker fare at very affordable prices. Located just a few minutes’ walk away from Telok Ayer and Tanjong Pagar MRT stations, the place is very crowded during lunchtime when office workers head down in droves for lunch, although that is also the only time most of the stalls are open. One of the highly recommended stalls is “A Noodle Story” which serves “Singapore-style ramen”, and is also listed on the Michelin Bib Gourmand. You get a bowl with Japanese style charshu, soy-flavoured braised egg, Hong Kong style wontons, potato wrapper prawn fritter for that crunch.

Killiney Kopitiam

Image
Kopitiam is a common part of Singapore, where a typical drink stall would sell coffee (kopi), tea (teh), milo and other soft drinks, along with breakfast items such as kaya toast and soft-boiled eggs. This is our way of life. There are Killiney Shops around, but what better way to have it at… Killiney Road! I will introduce friends to slurping half-boiled eggs with pepper and dark-soya sauce, both disgusting-looking but delicious. Also, our Nanyang-style coffee is in a class of its own. Address: 67 Killiney Road Singapore 239525 MRT: Somerset (5-10 min walk) After the meal: A Killiney Curry Puff a few shops down, or back to Orchard Road which is 5 minutes away.
