"It's worth arriving early to wander around the beautiful colonial mansion, which dates from 1889 and was once the embassy of the Soviet Union. The porte-cochère entrance leads to a sumptuous bar and the perfect spot for a cocktail. The food is Asian with a Turkish twist; the combinations are ambitious and the presentation flamboyant—the Turkish chef's travels inform his cuisine. 'Sultan's Message Can't Deliver' is his speciality." - Kenneth Goh
