Source: The Halia We went to The Halia and tried out their newly halal-certified (just last May!) all-day dining menu. Here's what we think. The Halia is located at Singapore's Botanical Gardens, in the middle of lush foliage, about an 18-min walk from the Botanic Gardens MRT Station. We know, an 18-min walk sounds a tad bit exasperating but hey, good food awaits you on the other side, we promise! Just enjoy the walk in the garden itself until you find yourself in Ginger Garden (because 'halia' in Malay translates to 'ginger' in English). The restaurant features the main dining hall called the Dining Room as well as two al-fresco dining area called Viewing Decks. Both the interior and exterior of the restaurant are contributing factors to our whole experience at The Halia. We can only imagine how it is in the evening 😍 We started off with the Deepfried salt & chilli squid with spring onion, ginger-lime syrup and piquant mayo (S$15)....

Montigo Resorts is now no stranger to Singaporeans who are looking for a short getaway without the flight. This popular 5-star resort is known for the luxurious 2, 3 and 4 bedroom villas featuring a private pool. Yes, that means you don't have to get out of your villa for a swim! We had the chance to visit Montigo Resorts last week and indulge ourselves in the food served at the two in-house restaurants, TADD'S  and Pantai .  TADD'S Restaurant serves local, Asian and Western all-day dining in a casual semi-alfresco poolside setting. Here you can find local favourites such as Traditional Gado Gado Salad and Nasi Goreng Kampung.
