Rimland

With its rich prawn broth layered with mellow creaminess and a gentle hum of spices rising from beneath, laksa is an ideal choice when you want a warming, satisfying meal. The soup combines thick Asakusa Kaikarou noodles with thin rice vermicelli, garnished with plump prawns alongside familiar everyday touches like aburaage deep-fried tofu, kamaboko fish cakes, and fresh shiso leaves. Lunch sets also offer the option of a side of chicken rice, letting you dip the grains into the leftover broth to savor down to the very last spoonful.

Another signature dish is the Hainanese chicken rice, featuring succulent, gently poached chicken accompanied by fragrant rice. Served with 3 distinct dipping sauces on the side, it lets you vary each bite to your liking, making for a comforting meal whether as a daytime set or an evening main. There are also playful cross-cultural creations such as the "RIM Napoli," which tosses Asakusa Kaikarou tonnarelli pasta in a sweet tomato sauce lightly accented with cumin and other ethnic spices.

Come dinner, the menu expands to include dishes like Fujian-style bak kut teh simmered with pork spare ribs, beef rendang, and stir-fried morning glory with garlic and fish sauce. Because many offerings come in half sizes, solo diners and pairs alike can easily sample a variety of small plates. You can take your time lingering over wine, beer, or cocktails, before rounding off the meal on a refreshing note with desserts such as douhua soybean pudding drizzled with jasmine syrup.
