Other Details:
We serve “Straits Cuisine,” the cuisine born in the British "Straits Settlement" colony of Singapore and of coastal cities like Panang and Malaka, whose mixed population included Chinese and Indian settlers along with Malays. The basic cooking style is Chinese, stir-fried fresh in a wok. The ingredients are typical of the region: bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, various gingers (galanga, turmeric, “regular” ginger), lemon grass, jicama and basil. Many spices and sauces hail from Southern India and Sri Lanka (Ceylon), with coconut milk an important part of the curries. Our food is basically spicy, but since all dishes are cooked individually, we can make most more or less spicy.
