A staple in Saint-Henri for a lively food experience. Enjoy Singaporean food, everything on the menu is absolutely delicious. That said, you have to try the pork buns.

I like going here for a midnight snack or a hangover cure. Generous portions of sloppy food like fried chicken, cheeseburgers, milkshakes, but also some lighter stuff like their famous truffle pasta. You can add foie gras to literally anything on the menu :)
