Tiffin

Description:

• The only way to do justice to Tiffin's impressive 158-item, all-day dining menu featuring food from all over the world is to come back repeatedly. Eating is a celebration here, enhanced by presentation and a lively decor. We recommend the following: salad of palm hearts, fennel, thin slices of tart apple, and water chestnut; for main courses we like the trio of Australian lamb or the pork cutlets with black truffle mash. You can also get a rigorously Japanese sushi and sashimi platter at the interactive sushi bar, where Filipino chef Francesco Balanquit takes orders. Don't miss pastry chef Ravindra Varma's ice creams, which combine unusual flavors such as wasabi and caramelized brown sugar, green tea and candied ginger (refreshing), or star anise and rambutan (a tropical fruit). Wash it down with a fresh juice, though some of the "healthier" ones containing amla (Indian gooseberry) can run a tad sour; opt instead for the more sane apple, red beet, and celery blend. For a snack, you can now also get sandwiches, burgers, and salads.
