Tucked away in an unassuming street along Jalan Besar, in a quaint shophouse filled with vibrant colours, this restaurant will delight your palate with an abundance of spices and a refined twist on Singaporean cuisine. Begin your meal with a combination appetiser dish comprising the perfectly seasoned ngoh hiang and cuttlefish kueh pie tee before moving on to bigger creature comforts. Such is the assam snapper that’s deftly seasoned and paired with a refreshing cucumber salad in a plum sauce dressing. Due to the long duration of cooking, the pork belly in the urban baba babi pongteh dish is extremely tender and will have you coming back for more. If you’re a fan of the king of fruits, the durian cake is great way to enjoy the fruit’s distinctive taste; it’s paired with light pandan genoise sponge layers with just the right amount of sweetness. But if you prefer something classic, the moist chocolate cake with house-made salted caramel, pink Himalayan sea salt and coconut ice cream will end your meal on a high note.
