Straits kitchen serves up a good array of Indian 🥘 food and what better place to get a taste of a huge variety of poultry , lamb and seafood cooked in authentic Indian style .

My favourites are the dish curry , dhal and the charred garlic naan . The tandoori fish and chicken are also marinated till piquant and tender.

One of the key highlights of straits kitchen .

One of the tastiest beef rendangs I have eaten as part of a hotel buffet.

The rempah is so fragrant and authentic . Just by looking at this makes me feel like going back all over again ... ....

It is so hard to find good kuehs these days and I am glad straits kitchen dishes out a good variety and kuehs and mind you - all are of superb quality - almost like there was a nonya making these kuehs fresh in the kitchen 🤣.

All the kuehs were fresh , not too sweet and very authentic . Special mention must be made of the Puteri ayu which is the Pandan coconut cake kueh that you see on the TOP shelf , third from
The left . I used to be able to only find them from glacier - but the ones at glacier are sickening sweet and pretty dense and sticky .

These Puteri ayu are the best I have tasted with an authentic Pandan taste - very very light in texture and not too sweet. I wolved down 2 of these in a go even after a heavy lunch so you must know how good these are.

Best Satays in singapore

When I mention the goodness about straits kitchen , some would raise their brows and ask why would one pay 💰 that much just to eat local food .

But one bite of straits kitchen ‘s Satay and I kid you not - you might be made a convert like many of my friends whom I have invited .

The chicken satays here are in my opinion the best I have had in singapore 🇸🇬. Not exaggerating . After being disappointed with satays that I have tried in various “ famous stalls”- they were either too sweet , meat was not fresh , or not well grilled .

Tender chicken ✅
Very Fresh chicken parts ✅
Not so sweet glaze ✅
Well charred and well grilled ✅
Superb peanut sauce ✅

I used to like Punggol satay at Alexandra village but after a very bad experience with them some time back - lukewarm satays , can’t care less service by the ladies manning the stall and pretty stingy attitude over their peanut sauce ( not one drip more ) . I decided not to return again 😊

Try these satays at straits kitchen and you will know what I mean ... by best satays .

Extremely delicious and earthy tasting home - made artichoke dip - a change from the usual hummus or pesto spread that are more commonly found .

The sourdough bread was lovely in texture with a light sourish tang which went beautifully with the artichoke dip .

Nothing Beats a good toasted bread and a homemade dip .

An interesting combination of green tea sponge , chocolate dusted crispies , chocolate mousse and vanilla ice cream . The flower pot was made of praline 😊.

The whole dessert was consumable ( except the plate of course ).....

Pretty interesting combination .

Koma has such an outstanding ambience - I was swept off my feet the moment i pranced through the Long walkway leading to the restaurant .

Wait till you enter the restaurant - the vibes , lighting and deco will so captivate your heart that food is perhaps , secondary ...

I actually enjoyed this aburi dish - with a fusion undertone of slightly sweet and sour sauce .

Portion was on the smaller side but taste was 101 percent .

Weekends are made for these...

With a carrot cake that looks so unique - you’d know that this didn’t came from a central kitchen in Bedok .

Whilst most Chinese restaurants get their support of dim sum from a central kitchen . Kai duck does them fresh .

Lightly pan fried radish cakes generously filled more with radish than flour and then served with a drizzle of sweet chilli - almost “ pretending “ to look like an okonomiyaki 😂

Excellent execution and beautifully presented .

Kai garden specialises in Peking duck / canton / Sichuan dishes with a slight fusion twist .

Same same but different .

Why would you get monday blues with a pita so good .

The best homemade pita I have eaten thus far . Crisp and fluffy with a good texture and bite .

For those of you who know bread - this pita was literally alive . It seemed to take on a life of its own - integrating the taste of the falafel , the homemade parsley chutney and the beautiful creamy hummus.

The falafel had an interesting texture ( almost tasting like there were corn grits inside ) , was well seasoned without being too salty Nor greasy .

The stall owner was nice to give me a dallop of homemade chilli paste to go with my meal .

I was fed , nourished ... ...
This was so amazingly good .....

Blessed to be in a multi cultural country like singapore where you get a melting pot of cultures and of course - food 🥘

Topped luxuriously with cherry tomatoes and a dollop of homemade pesto.

Free flow bread of your choice .

Part of 10 scotts tea buffet .

As part of the international seafood night buffet .
Extremely extremely high quality sashimi.

I would say better than some high end Japanese restaurants.

This alone makes it all worth while .

One of the best renditions of mapo toufu that I have eaten .

Perfectly silken toufu , aromatic spices and the whole dish came together very well without being overly salty or greasy .

The best part is that this feels very much “ home cooked” too .
