Must-tries: everyone’s favourite is the Town Laksa – delicious noodles in a spicy flavourful coconut broth. Also try what is often touted as Singapore’s national dish – the Hainanese chicken rice, with tender poached chicken, aromatic rice and a garlic chilli dip. A luxe take on a perennial local favourite, the Lobster Nasi Lemak marries a whole succulent lobster with coconut scented rice.
Jade
With more than 10 years at the fore of Singapore’s Cantonese cuisine scene, Jade’s refurbished interior includes specially commissioned wallpaper, evocative lantern lighting, private rooms and a jade colour palette – all of which provide a picture-perfect backdrop for the exquisite Cantonese flavours on the menu.
Must-tries: dim sum served in piping hot traditional bamboo baskets; simmered egg noodles with Boston lobster and X.O. chilli sauce; and daily double-boiled soups.
The Lighthouse Restaurant & Rooftop Bar
Perched on the very top of The Fullerton Hotel Singapore is The Lighthouse Restaurant and Bar – in the exact location where, in the 20th century, a beacon guided mariners to safety at the Singapore port. Authentic Italian is on the menu with a dazzling drinks list to match, and a mesmerising view of Singapore’s skyline and the Marina Bay waterfront. From 5.30 p.m. to 7.30 p.m.daily, enjoy aperitifs with complimentary Italian bites such as bruschetta and olives.

The Fullerton Cake Boutique
Choose from a wide selection of cakes, tarts, traditional sweets and more at The Fullerton’s very own dessert boutique. To mark the 90th anniversary of The Fullerton Hotel Singapore, the aptly named “Mile Zero” cake is a special addition on the menu – think rich layers of chocolate mousse perfectly balanced with tart rosella cremeux. Mile Zero – which the Fullerton Building was known as during its time as the General Post Office – is the point from which all of Singapore was measured in road distances before postcodes were implemented.
