CAROUSEL

Royal Plaza on Scotts, Lobby Level, 25 Scotts Road, S(228220) TEL: 6219 3780

Dining at Carousel is a comfortable, relaxed affair. The service is impeccable—you receive a warm welcome, your glass is always filled and it’s always easy to get the staff’s attention—but they give you plenty of space to explore the myriad dishes laid out in the well-lit dining hall. Fresh seafood tantalisingly displayed on ice welcomes diners when they enter the restaurant, along with the smoky aroma that trails from the teppanyaki station, which offers a variety of meats and vegetables cooked to your preference. Other notable mentions include the Mediterranean station, which features colourful dishes, from Andalus-spiced poached vegetables to pan-seared red snapper with salmorejo cordobés, as well as the Indian station, which caters to vegetarians with its curries and fragrant basmati rice. Don’t miss dessert—the seasonal garden desserts put a healthy spin on sweet endings, while the house-made ice cream showcases interesting local flavours.
