The

serving tiffin since the 1890s, when Sunday
tiffin curry was an essential aspect of colonial life.
As such, the stiff white tablecloths, white-jacketed waiters and
gleaming silverware whisk you back to this forgotten era. The lunch
and dinner curry buffets are hot favourites with tourists and should
be on your essential list of 'to-dos' when visiting Singapore. Also
popular is the daily High Tea, which includes an English High Tea
stand and local buffet.

7. Khansama Tandoori Restaurant
Located
up a narrow staircase in the middle of bustling Serangoon Road in the
heart of Little India, this little gem continually churns out
fantastic-tasting, great value curries. Its incredibly comprehensive
menu features everything from starters to mains, and chaats to
dahls, to raitas. The Mixed Tikka starter is a good way to kick off
as is the Paneer. Meat lovers can't go wrong with a Mutton Lababdar
with its creamy tomato gravy, or everyone's favourite -- Chicken
Tikka Masala. Vegetarians won't be disappointed here either -- the
Gobi Manchurian -- cauliflower in a spicy sweet and sour sauce
should not be missed, nor should the Bindi Masala cooked with
tomatoes and spices.

Samy's
is something of an institution in Singapore, having been dishing up
cheap Indian cuisine in informal surroundings since the 1950s,
making it one of Singapore's oldest Indian restaurants. The large
mess-like brightly-lit hall sees groups of friends tucking into
Signature dishes such as Masala Chicken, Mysore Mutton, Fish Cutlet
and Masala Prawns. Whichever dish you choose, it will be
unceremoniously sploshed onto your banana leaf along with as much
rice, dahl and vegetable curry as you can manage. Don't expect any
airs and graces, but do expect plenty of good curry and good
times.
