Jambu's Review

The best Chinese and Asian food in this tiny archipelago nation is served here at the chic Raffles Resort. Many of the dishes have flavors familiar to Singaporeans. With these Far East flavors, regional ingredients are often used as well, making for some intriguing combinations. It's a true East-meets-West kitchen. The Chinese "tapas" alone would make a meal unto themselves -- coconut seafood tom yam soup, pan-seared marinated duck with hoisin sauce in rice-paper rolls, or delectable soft-shell crab and lobster wontons. The barracuda served comes from the Caribbean, but the red chili curry paste is from the Pacific. Lemon grass-crusted lamb chops are another celestial delight. Opt for a beach-bordering table where candles flicker in the trade winds at the island's most romantic spot.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
