Relax and lazy noon
The Halia at Singapore Botanic Gardens
2018-01-09
Even though this was not the first time to Singapore, i still like to explore new delicious food and relax environment. So i came here because of the leisure feeling showed in the picture in travel book. My friend and I just walk in arrive this restaurant inside the Singapore Botonic Garden around 4:30 pmIt is located inside the Ginger garden which surrounded by all green trees and plants. The waitress leaded us to outdoor seats which allow us expose to the garden but with cover hanging with decorated ceiling and fans. (That suits my expectation in which i was planned to have a relax tea after mu flight this morning) For me, it looks like going into a Villia in Thailand. The waiter is so friendly and recommend food and drink while we are deciding to make the order. Telling us what is famous and recommended by other customers as well as ingredients inside drinks.The first thing to come is the drink — the Lychee & Thyme. The presentation matches with the environment and good for picture taking. It is not only Lychee juice but with the Thyme juice on side mixing together make it a special refreshing as well as sweet yet healthy taste! Then come the food after we enjoy the drink and environment.We have the Rangers Valley 48 Hours Short Rib ( left up ) , Sauteed spinach & mushroom (left down) and Halia’s Singapore-style chilli crab spaghettini (right).Coming to singapore, of course i would try the chilli crab thing. The taste of chilli crab spaghettini here is of strong yummy taste and what is different from other restaurant is that it also contain a little bit ginger taste, which actually help lift up the taste better without not just feeling spicy but let your tongue sense the ingredients in the sauce better. Highly recommend if anyone like me love chilly crab so much. The waiter later told me that the ginger taste actually is designed for matching the ginger garden. However, for the short rib, i was a bit disappointed by the rough feeling and high portion of fatty tissue inside. For me is still ok, but my friend who cares so much about keeping slim just took those fatty tissue out. Anyway, having this plate just because to have something warm before chilli things inside stomach.And for the snack spinach and mushroom is nothing special expected. Yet is healthy and fresh. After all, we also have the dessert — sticky toffee pudding! This dessert had all the favourite things i like mixing together — toffee, ice cream, and chocolate like pudding cake. The running sauce taste so nice sweet and just make the meal so satisfied. 😋 …Read More
