The boutique hotel is exceptionally… small . I almost couldn’t locate the hotel lobby since there is only 1entrance. Once you enter the hotel lobby, Nectar restaurant is just right beside.The restaurant is bright , colourful and cheerful. I guess the name ”Nectar” is derived from the nectar of flowers the designer made use of the bright colours to furbish the restaurant.The menuThere aren’t many dishes in the ala-carte menu.

The menu
There aren’t many dishes in the ala-carte menu. They offer fusion cuisine- sandwiches, fried beehoon and western dishes.
Their signature starter – The warm seafood salad ( $14++) is popular with diners.
The set lunch menu
I was informed that the set lunch menu changes daily. However, I was more keen to try dishes from the ala-carte instead. There is a $12 nett promotion for main course – choice of 4 dishes
- Teriyaki chicken
- Spring chicken
- Chicken sandwich
- Turkey sanadwich
I thought that the $12 nett promotion sounds attractive and I had the spring chicken as my main course ( though I had been eating chicken leg for the past 3 days)
Warm seafood salad ($14++)
The signature starter, was certainly well-presented. I can happily indulge in seafood (scallops, prawns, soft-shell crab and squid)The soft-shell crab was very crispy but the downside : batter was slightly salty.The squids were my favourite , the scallops were well-seared and prawns were crunchy.The mango salsa served alongside was sweet and addictive !
Spring chicken, natural herbs, veg melange ($12 nett )
Wow! They actually served 2 whole chicken leg! After having the warm seafood salad ( portion rather huge ), I felt 3/4 full and the 2 chicken leg was kinda… a challenge for me.The roast chicken legs were tad too ordinary, basked with herbs & roasted. I would prefer the skin to be slightly crispier ( even though I would just nibble a little ). The chicken legs were tender but on the dry side. The sauce tasted weird… like a combination of soy sauce and oyster sauce but was rather diluted.
Verdict: I can’t complain since the the chicken leg was $12 nett and the serving was generous . The warm seafood salad was recommended. Service is prompt and friendly.
