SINGAPORE - Media OutReach - December 3, 2018 - Singapore’s vibrant
local food scene plays a quintessential part in its cultural heritage, and The
Lobby Lounge at Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore supports the preservation of this
culinary heritage. With the success of The Lobby Lounge’s Heritage Lunch
Buffet, the restaurant extends the indulgence of perennial local favourites all
under one roof with the launch of six signature dishes available during
breakfast. The Lobby Lounge’s Heritage
Breakfast offers an authentic Singaporean breakfast spread showcasing national breakfast
favourites, such as Nasi Lemak, Roti Prata, Soft-Boiled Eggs with Kaya Toast, Wanton
Mee, Carrot Cake and Hainanese Porridge.

 

Shangri-La Hotel,
Singapore worked with prominent local food advocate Dr Leslie Tay to curate the
breakfast menu. The hotel also collaborated with popular local food brands, The
Coconut Club and Springleaf Prata Place to showcase their respective signature
recipes for Nasi Lemak and Roti Prata.

 

A Michelin Guide Bib
Gourmand Singapore 2018 awardee, The Coconut Club is renowned for its Nasi Lemak — jasmine rice infused with
the fragrance of fresh coconut milk and served with crispy anchovies, peanuts,
fried egg, sliced cucumber and sambal chilli that offers a real kick. The dish
is completed with a serving of spice-marinated chicken deep-fried till crisp
and golden-brown.

 

Springleaf Prata Place,
which is famous for its Roti Prata with
Dhal Cha and Fish Curry, features its hand-stretched dough that is fried
with ghee for a fluffy centre and crisp outer layer. This famous Indian flat
bread is best complemented with Dhal Cha and Fish Curry.

 

No Singaporean breakfast
line-up is complete without the most iconic local breakfast dish: Soft-Boiled Eggs with Kaya Toast. A
labour of love, the kaya is made from scratch using the hotel’s Executive Chef
Franco Brodini’s recipe, which he developed after countless tastings and months
of research. Simple, yet gratifying, the kaya toast is served with soft-boiled
eggs.

 

Another favourite is the
Wanton Mee featuring al dente
ribbons of noodles tossed in a special black sauce made by Shang Palace’s
Chinese Executive Chef Mok Kit Keung. The noodles are topped with
fried pork and shrimp dumplings, barbecued pork and served with a side of
dumpling soup.

 

Get a taste of The Lobby
Lounge’s very own Chef Yong Jia’s Fried Carrot
Cake — steamed turnip cake stir-fried with pickled radish, egg, spring
onions and a generous amount of dark soy sauce. Rounding up the line-up is the Hainanese Porridge, a comforting bowl
comprising silky porridge, homemade meatball and sliced pork. The flavour is
enhanced with a dash of sesame oil and julienned ginger. Immerse the Youtiao
into the porridge to soak up its goodness.

 

These six signature breakfast dishes can be ordered from the à la carte menu,
or enjoyed as part of the weekend buffet from 7am till 11am. The semi-buffet
includes an à la carte selection, unlimited servings of the buffet spread and a
cup of local beverage such as Kopi Tarik, Teh Tarik and Milo.

 

The buffet also features
other iconic dishes from the local cuisine, including Tiong Bahru Jian Bo Shui
Kueh’s signature Shui Kueh; Ah Yee’s Soon Kueh; HarriAnns’s Yam Cake and Tau
Suan; and Lina’s Confectionary’s Kueh Lopes with gula melaka syrup. The Lobby Lounge’s chefs will also
whip up a feast that includes mee siam, fried economic noodles, lontong with sayur
loden and beef serunding, fried glutinous rice, tau huay, and many more. The
side dishes on the buffet spread will be available on a rotational basis.
