Coriander Leaf

Colonial District, the Quays & Marina Bay


Slip into your chair while admiring the sleek, modern Asian surroundings before perusing the fusion Southeast Asian menu, based on the five flavour verticals; fresh, familiar, spicy, umami and sweet. There's a wide selection of constantly changing dishes – try Samia's signature frontier chicken if available. Serving sizes are on the smaller side, so best to order a few and share.

Finally, two purpose-built cooking studios offer you the chance to pick up a few tips; check the website for details.
