The Royal Mail (已結業)

For more reviews, visit http://www.umakemehungry.com/2015/04/the-royal-mail.htmlThe Royal Mail is housed in the former Asia Insurance Building (now Ascott Raffles Place) and was once the tallest building in South East Asia. This building has been gazetted under URA (Urban Redevelopment Authority) for conversation. We headed to the Royal Mail via the curved stairways from its ground level for their Lunch Special 3 Course Set under Restaurant Week for $25++.TRM (The Royal Mail) is accessible by th

And I have to admit I my mind was blown with this Gruyere Cheese Bread, it's like an aromatherapy to my soul, this

Highlights for the starters include the Bay Scallops Salad with Walnut Mustard Dressing. Expertly cooked till the surface were lightly browned, the scallops were sweet and tender, complemented by red radish and mesclun at the side.To most people, chestnuts means turkey stuffing or Mont Blanc. But here, chestnuts mean soup, a luxuriously cre

We were here during the restaurant week. Overall the food and dessert here were decent, nothing to rave about. Service was good from the reception staff but not the server staff. If you just want to find a slightly better restaurant with adequate food at Raffles Place area, you can consider this place.So far I only enjoyed this starter the most: Pan-Seared ScallopsLove their scallops so much - Succulent and Crisp at the top!Pan-Seared Foie Gras - We thought the size of the foie gras will be some

The Royal Mail had been around for about 2 years but it was never on our to dine at list for one reason or another. We finally decided to give it a shot one Friday evening before the wife took off for an extended work trip to Korea. InteriorOccupying a spot in Ascott Raffles Place, the restaurant's name is inspired by its location, where a former British post office once stood. And it serves up "modern British cuisine" of course. The restaurant is situated on the second floor, up a flight of sta

The Royal Mail Restaurant & Bar established in year 2012 has revamped their menu recently.The bar area is situated on the ground floor and the restaurant itself is on the second level. The bar area is comfortable and cosy which makes a perfect chill place after work hours.This new facelift introduces new specialty cocktails and British-inspired tapas on its menu.We had a great night sampling all the new cocktails on the menu, which was launched after a three months of hard work by the kitchen an

Despite being a non-alcoholic drinker, I enjoyed the "Apple of my Eye" ($18), made with an entire crushed apple mixed with vodka, frangelico, an egg white for a frothy finish. This light and sweet martini with lovely cinnamon perfumes d

I had the privillage to attend a media tasting at Royal mail to indulge in some of the best cocktails and bar grub. Guests can expect an appetizing range of specialty cocktails, a well-curated range of whiskeys and spirits, as well as bar grub that boast modern British sensibilities. The best moment is spending time w your friends, colleagues and loved ones, and settle down at The Royal mail during Happy Hour.Favorite drink was 'apple of my eye' martini and prime beef as a bite. Prime rib must t

An elegant restaurant cum bar that serves modern European cuisine focusing more on British flavors, the concept here was actually inspired by a vintage brass mail chute located in full view at the lift lobby of The Ascott. A concept exuding Old World charm dating back to the days of Doris Day's letter writing era, Grace Chang and policemen in shorts (and possibly, handsome postmen on bicycles).My main course was served first - the Pan Seared Duck Breast (SGD$32.00) - served with Celeriac puree,

{Visit lazyfoodies.com for a full review with photos}Though Singapore was once British ruled, we have hardly heard or speak of British cuisine here. The Royal Mail is one of the rare restaurants that serves up unique modern British cuisine with an emphasis on roasts and prime rib. Housed within Ascott in the busiest business district, an after-work dinner there was surprisingly a relaxed one.

This poshy restaurant was my favourite venue for a romantic dinner with my loves one. This time I have brought my good friend here to celebrate her birthday.Restaurant is quiet and cosy, and the service here is quite tip-top, as they are super helpful and prompt in service.  Have ordered their 3 courses set dinner, which includes the New Zealand mussel chowder, that the texture is super thick and creamy with generous amount of fresh chewy mussel inside.  Garlic toast is crunchy and fragrant as w

In fact, I was surprised having to work in CBD for the past couple of years, and didn't knew the existence of The Royal Mail. Do not be fooled though. Nothing to do with postage and such.. Rather, its focused on satisfying your stomach in a cozy and a little classy type of ambiance!They had two seatings available, and while we reserved for the second seating, they still allow us to have our slot pushed forward since we were there early Candlelight dinner?Menus ranging from ala-carte to set menus

Went to The Royal Mail for a birthday celebration. We ordered the Blue Swimmer Crab & Avocado for starters. It came in quite a small serving, but was really yummy! The use of ingredients was good, I like the mixture of the crab meat with the roe, which burst in the mouth. Could taste that the crab was very fresh. I ordered a Roast Prime Rib Classic Cut medium rare, it was cooked to a great perfection. The steak was soft and tender, and I like the sauce on the steak. There were some side dishes w
