One-stop dining spot

We’re loving the newly revamped Orchard Cafe, an all-day dining restaurant that serves a much wider selection of local and international treats than before. Think European cheeses and charcuterie, a temperature-controlled Seafood Room and Oyster Shucking station, a Vertical Salad Bar as well as a Charcoal Grill station teeming with handsome cuts, such as the tomahawk steak. For those who can’t do without carbs, there’s a Noodle Bar dishing the hotel’s signature seafood laksa, and freshly baked truffle pizza from the Pizza Oven. What’s a meal without dessert? Besides ice cream sandwiches, Nyonya kuehs and waffles and crepes made à la minute, the Dessert Showcase’s most impressive feature is the panning machine that coats freshly roasted nuts in a chocolate dust. From $58/person (lunch), from $78/person (dinner). Orchard Hotel, 442 Orchard Road. Tel: 6739 6565
