The Halia (已結業)

The Halia Restaurant has a lot to celebrate. Just recently, their outlet at the Singapore Botanic Gardens celebrated its 11th anniversary. Next up, they opened their 2nd outlet at the iconic Raffles Hotel. Newsflash, foodies: The Halia at Raffles Hotel is the first home-grown brand to set foot in the country’s iconic hotel. For small plate teasers, indulge in options which include the vegetarian Celeriac Lasagna ($12++), Foie Gras Salad ($23++), Oriental Pulled Duck ($18++), and the Confit Salmon ($16++). If you want our recommendation, you can start with the salad, which is a semi-healthy but tasty offering of apricot, chutney, candied ginger pecan, blueberry, and croutons.

I love dining at Halia, but the only problem was it was such an effort to visit their outlet in the Botanic Gardens. Thankfully, they opened a new restaurant last month at Raffles Hotel. Anyway, I went last night to have dinner for the first time. First thing I noticed was their al fresco bar area which had a large bath tub with a tap in the middle. I think it's used for private functions when everyone just wants to get drunk.. As for the restaurant, Im quite surprised on how they brought the essence of their Botanic Gardens outlet in their new restaurant. You can see a tree in the middle, plus some vines on the wall. Real or not? I'm not sure. I didn't have time to check because the orders were served. As for the dishes I ate, I had the:1. Halia Chilli Crab-This was my fave out of all the dishes that I had. It was spicy, which just blended well with the crab taste. 2. Sous Vide Baharat Chicken Leg-Chicken was just so tender, I can eat this everyday!3. Seafood in Saffron Orange Broth- Interesting dish, which if I would recommend to those who want to try Halia for the first time. 4. Javanese Spiced Maori Lakes Rack of Lamb-Lamb was good, too! I'm not a fan of lamb, but this one, I LIKKEEE! =D…查看更多
