    Bit Of A Voyager ..

    Tucked away in the heart of the British capital, Singapulah promises "a taste of Singapore in Soho". Having sampled a few of the highlights on their menu, I can say with some confidence that they deliver on that promise. For context, my partner and I tried the Char Kway Teow (£14.95), Sambal Seafood Fried Rice (£15.95), Kueh Salat (£5.50), Mantou (£3.50), Durian Ice Cream (£7.50), and two Tea-O Peng (£9.00). Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and true to its roots. Having had the pleasure of enjoying these dishes in Singapore itself, I can vouch for their authenticity - the subtle wok hei in the rice, the lively heat of the Char Kway Teow, and the gentle fragrance of the coconut-pandan dessert were all commendably faithful to the original. Having said that, the only dish throughout the evening that truly exceeded our expectations was the rich, sumptuous and unapologetically aromatic durian ice cream. It captured the essence of the fruit without tipping into excess, and it lingered pleasantly on the palate without becoming cloying. Prices are, as one might expect, noticeably higher than their equivalents in Singapore (roughly two to three times more). But such is the inevitable exchange when importing culinary authenticity across continents, just as British exports in Singapore would no doubt incur a similar, if not greater, premium. All in all, Singapulah succeeds in evoking the genuine spirit of Singaporean dining - convivial, flavour-driven, and refreshingly unpretentious. It's a warmly recommended stop for those seeking the real thing, only here you can enjoy it without the long-haul flight.

    Went there on a Tuesday for lunch without a reservation, and didn't have to wait for a table, tried the chili crab bao and laksa, there were so many things I wanted to try but I could only eat so much. The portion was perfect, the laksa brought me right back to Singapore and my server Aaron was great. Would definitely go back next time when I am in London.

We were tired after exploring Leicester Sq, and the Trafalgar area and looking for quick food. Googled and found this, looked very bright and quick grab, so decided to try this There's also a short menu of noodles and soups served in cardboard bowls. Inside, it's bright yellow and cheerful, but the vibe is grab-and-go, with just a sprinkling of seats. We ordered *Curry Chicken Potato puff - spicy mix inside, crunchy outside. It's commonly stuffed with curried chicken or potatoes and is a hybrid of other food items. It blends cornish pasties, samosas, and empanadas in the most beautiful way. * Fried Laksa Noodle with Sambal (Shrimp noodles) Joint runs by the owner and, I guess, his daughter. The owner was very polite and helpful, and made us go through the menu. We sat outside and enjoyed our food. Vibe was chill. It's near Covent Garden, so it's always lively. Note: when we sat out, the owner immediately came and warned us about how thieves are active in this area, and last night, someone stole a phone from the table, and the owner had to go to the police station to help his customer (just wanted to put this)

Their flavors for the most part were right, portions are small, and prices are high which contrasts for its norm, since this is street food in Singapore which would cost 3-6$ a plate. Would recommend a more Peranakan decor to make this place feel like Bugis in Singapore. Hainanese chicken rice- good chicken, soup was way too salty that it was nota drinkable at all. Rice was right flavor but wrong texture. Maybe the certain rice can't be found in UK. Seafood Chow fun- I was actually impressed with the chow fun part that charred part and the oily noodles that require high heat and high oil to make it that texture. this dish was good. Would highly recommend it. Chinese leaf- just dressed up Napa cabbage but well done. Salt and pepper shrimp were also not bad The hakkien mee was good but was a little sweeter than what I remembered from Singapore. Overall an ok place- If you've not had Singapore food before this is a good pricy intro to what's ahead.

    I was a complete supper-club virgin...until "Plus-Six-Five" deflowered me!…read more I had heard about this supper club through the grapevine and then decided to gather a few friends and try it out. To be honest, I wasn't quite sure what to expect: who are these people who invite complete strangers into their homes and cook up a storm for them? Don't they have their own friends, who they can invite? What if this is a trap and they hold us ransom and ask for a shit-load of money to let us free again? - Well, turns out that all my suspicions and concerns were thrown over-board, once I entered the Goz's flat (Goz, by the way, is the host of this Singaporean Supper Club.) We were seated immediately and started nibbling on the spicy appetizers that were placed in front of us. Soon the room filled up with other strangers just like us and, while in the beginning it was certainly a little awkward, the common experience of this awkwardness made us bond rather quickly and soon we were chatting away with our fellow supper-clubians. To be honest, I can't remember what kind of dishes were served up, but I do remember that all of them were excellent - especially a meat dish, that had stewed away for a few days apparently. At the end of the night, we were in for two more treats: 1) we tried home-made macaroons by a local amateur-pastry chef and 2) we experienced coffee from a Singaporean coffee-roastery; the owner himself poured the coffee for us, explaining various intricate details about the bouquet along the way... Overall, I truly enjoyed my first time...and I can almost say that since then I've been to another supper club and I've already lined up two more.

    Stopped by for a solo Saturday lunch recently around 1pm -- the ground floor was really busy then,…read morebut there were still a handful of tables available on the relatively-peaceful upper level. My friend had recommended trying the singapore laksa, and I'm grateful that I did -- it was fantastic! The portion size was sooo big, with a huge helping of yummy rice noodles. (I didn't know laksa came with rice noodles sometimes -- think I've only had it with egg noodles before.) The variety of ingredients -- shrimp, fish cakes, tofu puffs, chicken, and more -- were all delicious, and the healthy level of spice added more of a kick than i expected. I also ordered a teh tarik, which was nice. Nothing too remarkable; it tasted very authentic. Overall price point was very reasonable, and the service was prompt and friendly. I really like the feeling of this restaurant being somewhat tucked-away in a side alley -- makes it feel like a small escape from the relative bustle of the central Chinatown neighbourhood. I will definitely be back to try some of their other dishes.

    So, I've been coming here for many years, but frankly with a large gap of years in between. Was…read morereally hankering for some Malay Cuisine, and this was feeling like a nostalgia trip. The restaurant has been around since the late 80's and somewhat hidden down an alleyway off Chinatown/Leicester Sq. I ordered the Hainanese Chicken Rice, that I had there many times before, in what now feels like a former lifetime. Unfortunately on this occasion it was a little bit disappointing. Perhaps because I'm not of the origin of food that they serve, they palmed me off with 2 pieces of chicken breast meat, with a fork and spoon of course in order to add to the debacle. For those who know this dish swill understand that the best part is the leg meat, on the bone, that becomes somewhat gelatinous, and somewhat undercooked when it is immersed in ice quickly after cooking. Unfortunately I didn't get any of this, and the breast meat a little overdone. Service was a bit dull and rather unenthusiastic.
