PRINCESS TERRACE

Copthorne King’s Hotel Singapore, 403 Havelock Road, S(169632) TEL: 6318 3168 Served as part of its well-loved Penang buffet, the Penang laksa here is a perennial favourite, with resplendent poached rice noodles in a bowl of spicy tamarind fish broth, topped with cucumber, pineapple, mint leaves and prawn paste. The char kway teow is the classic wok-fried rice noodles with prawns, Chinese sausage, chives, egg, bean sprouts and soya sauce. Traditional desserts include nonya kueh, peanut-filled pancakes and delightfully rich chendol with tender green noodles and fragrant gula Melaka, drizzled with coconut milk. Teh tarik (frothy milk tea) is recommended for the fragrance and taste of pure unadulterated tea; beer and limited house wines are also available.
