In the Far East, Singapore is an eminent culinary destination, with its confluence of different cultures and food, a fact that has been used to its full potential in this exotic Coulsdon restaurant. Traditional costumes worn by the smiling staff, pleasing décor and authentic dishes with the inclusion of the popular street food puts Singapore Orchid right up there on your list of 'must go' places in Croydon.

You couldn't go wrong with rock salt and pepper ribs, sautéed in garlic, fresh chillies and spring onions for starters, followed up with sea bass steamed with ginger and scallions and sealed with fragrant oil. The Hainanese chicken rice, deliciously smooth with pungent chilli sauce, is a signature dish of the streets while the pandan flavoured pancakes filled with bananas and served with ice cream is a most fitting finale. Cocktails and a wide range of drinks from their eclectic wine list help ease down the meal.
