Bugis Street - Kensington and Chelsea

Just wanted to share my opinion of this place. I recently went on a bussines trip and stayed in the hotel. I was impressed by the general ambiance and it doesn't get exceptionally busy. Me and my colleague shared some dishes but what I wanted to emphasize was how well we were treated by the waiter there. I was suprised there was only one person working there but end of the day we were satisfied with the service provided.

The restaurant's deceptive pictures did not match our experience on Saturday night around 9pm. While the décor was as expected, the cleanliness of the restaurant left much to be desired as three tables were left dirty. With only two staff members working, it was clear that the restaurant was trying to cut costs, resulting in poor service when the restaurant got busy. The food was also disappointing, with thick pastry in the chicken dumplings, overly crispy duck, tasteless hoisin sauce, and vegetable-less spring rolls. Overall, the experience was subpar and I would not return. Iceland offers a better value and tastier Chinese meal.

Service is friendly. I had the Laksa and the Hainan Chicken Rice, which I think are the most Singaporean dishes on the menu. Chicken rice was so so: the rice lacked flavour and the broth was a bit thin. But the Laksa was superb full of prawns and sliced fish balls bean sprouts and decent noodles and reasonably priced at 16 quid for a big big bowl. Broth was rich and spicy but not too much (could have taken a little more heat). I didn’t really need two dishes. If you are in the area or staying in the Tara Copthorne this place is worth a try.

We decided to dine at this restaurant simply because it is located within the hotel where we were staying. The food, service, and ambiance were all adequate, but nothing exceptional. It's a decent option if you're staying at the hotel and need a meal, but otherwise, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it. Additionally, we found the prices to be on the higher side.

I had a wonderful experience at this cozy restaurant, enjoying their authentic and delicious food. The laksa soup was particularly outstanding. The service was excellent and the prices were very reasonable.
