Restaurants
The Fairmont Singapore is also the home of unique culinary delicacies to treat your taste buds. The Inagiku restaurant, majestically adorned with the bird motifs, walls of light wood, etched-glass panels, and tables of wood, offers Japanese cuisine in a perfect ambiance for lunch as well as dinner. Other highlights are à la carte items like tempura, private rooms, and set menus.
The lion-guarded Szechuan Court will draw your attention as soon as you come to know that its welcoming doors are 200 years old. In this spherical Chinese eatery, you will be first stunned to see the antique crystal chandeliers, marble floors, and black-lacquer chairs and then be surprised at its Szechuan delicacies for lunch and dinner. I enjoyed the hot-and-sour soup here.
The Prego brings to you the typical Italian-American ambiance as you savor wood fired pizzas as well as pastas that were prepared in an open kitchen. Look for a typical deli that serves breads, salads, and pastries until evening. The décor include red-leather chairs, black-and-white wall prints, street-level windows, and white tablecloths.
Savor the Asian flavors at the Asian Market Café featuring buffet servings of Chinese, Malay, local, and Indian dishes. If you want to enjoy all meals along the pool, Alligator Pear is your best place offering a la carte menus, buffets, and all-day spa meals.
