As we chatted, a bowl of soup was placed before me – Thought it appeared dry. Chef albert reached for a kettle and poured in the broth. Chicken soup for the soul, indeed. Herbal, soothing and without cornflour – a delicate balance between a clear soup and a broth, and someating I would not mind as a dinner staple. It was followed by chicken satay, beautifly chargrled and tender.
Singapore’s Rich Culinary Heritage – Chinese, Malay, Indian, and Pranakan – Shines through in icons like chilli crab and hainanese chicken rice. Tiga’s menu nods to these, along with nasi lemak and lamb rendang.

I was served a kaffir lime and bitter chocolate petit gâteau – Light, Citrusy, Not Too Sweet – and a Singaporean River Mud Cake, Rich and Goey, Perfect for ChocoHOLICS.
