How to Have the Best Day Ever in Singapore

"Set in the historic former City Hall building, now home to Singapore’s National Gallery, the National Kitchen by Violet Oon offers a beautiful backdrop for an Asian-influenced afternoon tea ($56 for two people). Get cozy on the museum’s scenic outdoor veranda and choose from traditional kopi (coffee) or hand-blended tea from the Singapore Tea Company. To eat? Take your pick from Chef Violet Oon’s sweet dishes like tea cakes laced with gula melaka (palm sugar) and tapioca cake infused with coconut cream. Or...go savory, with slow-cooked pulled beef buns and turmeric glutinous rice topped with fried coconut flakes." - Dan Q. Dao
