Seroja offers a distinctive take on Malayan cuisine within a fine-dining setting, setting it apart from other establishments in the same category. The well-executed dishes showcase a variety of ingredients from the Southeast Asia region. While the restaurant encourages wine pairing, the food itself is flavorful enough to be enjoyed independently.
The Place While the name might not sound like a Chinese restaurant, I checked out 5 On 25 recently for lunch, the Chinese restaurant concept of Andaz Singapore in Bugis.
The Place One of the most highly anticipated new restaurants at the end of last year, I finally got down to Seroja restaurant located at Duo Galleria in Bugis recently. The name Seroja means lotus flower in Malay language and is also the street name of Chef Owner Kevin Wong’s family home in Klang, Malaysia. The space of Seroja is elegant and minimalist, where the layout is a mix of a long counter seating and intimate table settings for larger groups. Prior to Seroja, Chef Kevin was the Head Chef of Meta Restaurant Singapore.
Overall, the experience was quite underwhelming for a Christmas high tea where it would be nice if the items were served in nice tiers instead of casually placed on plates like buffet-styled plating.
Andaz Singapore’s 5 ON 25 is a new Chinese restaurant which offers refined Cantonese cuisine in an elegant space with panoramic views.
Service at Andaz Singapore is frustrating. Staff are friendly, but perhaps overly stringent, though they carry out tasks quickly and efficiently.
The room is super spacious, with an estimated size of about 42 sqm, with a Super King size bed, built-in sofa, a round table, TV and minibar complete with coffee machine and mini-fridge.

Good meats at Yen Social and as a yakiniku lover, this is one restaurant I will recommend to check out. It is probably ideal to come in groups of 3-4 persons, where you can try more variety of cuts without breaking the bank.
If beef is not your kind, they have seafood and chicken ingredients for you to grill too. Other staple dishes include O-Chazuke, Wagyu Fat-Fried Rice, Yuzu Cold Noodle and Wagyu Curry Rice.
