Haven’t decided where to celebrate this coming deepavali?

No further introduction is needed for Raffles Hotel Singapore’s Tiffin Room, one of Singapore’s grandest and popular go to restaurant for Indian cuisine and easily one of the popular place by many to celebrate this special occasion.

For this year’s Deepavali menu, award-winning Chef Kuldeep Negi have specially curated a set menu which starts with popular Indian snack, Dal Pakori from Delhi and Fafda Chaat from Gujarat, served with lentil dumplings, crispy chickpea bread complemented with tamarind and mint chutney.

Next will be the Tandoori Red Snapper which is specially procured from the Malabar coast in India, the snapper is marinated in a blend of spices before being grilled and is served along with spicy tomato chutney, plus cheese marinated tandoori broccoli to complete that umami taste. Despite being cooked over an intense fire in a clay oven, the snapper remains firm with soft texture. This is our favorite dish from the set!

In typical Tiffin Room style, you will get to enjoy your main courses in their elegant tiffin boxes, with elegant spread of Murgh Dhansak, a combination of tender and firm boneless chicken leg cooked with pineapple and Indian spices. The Chettinad Prawn Biryani, featured a combination of light and fluffy basmati rice, juicy prawns, saffron, mint and coriander leaves.
