Singapore Garden

Food fiend ( 30s, Female, United Kingdom )

Singapore Garden is in a slightly offbeat location near Swiss Cottage and i doubt most would know about it unless locals. I decided to go as it had got a Squaremeal 1 star and was looking forward in anticipation to my meal.

The venue itself has been refurbished nicely, very opulent inside and a decent amount of tables. Id completely recommend booking as it was packed on a Saturday night – book for 8pm so you dont get shooed away due to their 2 hour table turnaround!

We ordered most of the starters – very tasty but nothing new to me – standard spring rolls, duck etc. Mains had a good range of pork, fish, lamb with an additional summer menu where you could choose from lobster or variations of crab. These looked very interesting and gave the place a slight edge over the normal oriental places we go to. There were a distinct lack of veggie options though which was quite disappointing.. Desserts looked unappealing – variations of deep fried fruit so we passed. Overall came to £30 per head with no dessert.

Service was ok but all in all, this is a good place to have a catch up with friends (with slightly more money than poor students) and have a classy night out in Swiss Cottage. For better oriental food, id recommend going into town to places like Haozhan (my favourite in Chinatown), Yautcha or Hakkasan, expensive but worth it!
