Huge menu but overrated. Service was fast and friendly but prices were expensive and food was only average.

Temasek used to have consistently excellent Singaporean/Malaysian food. On recent visits, have been underwhelmed (changes in the kitchen support?) with the food eg serai pork tasting overly sweet and with an oily flavour, over-cooked Hainan chicken and smaller portions overall (seemingly disguised by new crockery). Service has always been casual but with fast cooking. The prices used to be justified by the quality of food but with the recent declines and more competition, there is better value elsewhere.

Food was flavoursome and desserts were delicious. All the food arrived together. Not cheap, but considering the location and quality of the food, value is reasonable. Service was attentive from the time we sat down to throughout the meal and staff were courteous throughout the meal. Only problem was when trying to get the bill and also when making payment - staff wouldn't acknowledge us and it took about 1/2 hour to sort things out. Apart from this frustrating aspect, it was a pleasant experience and I'd return.

Food used to be fantastic. On my last 2 visits, food was very oily and was very ordinary. Very disappointing - either the chef has changed or kitchen is very inconsistent.

What a find. Delicious satay, Hainan Chicken rice and beans. Good value - would go again.

Great ambience - terrific for a party. But food is not very authentic- on the sweet side and dear for what you get.

Food was average overall - ingredients were fine but food was a bit bland and light on spicing. Still like going there for the ambience and service and Indian bread. Now that the early bird dinner special has been deleted, food is a bit pricey for Indian food though reasonable for the location.

Authentic, tasty and great value Chinese food. Tried several varieties of dumplings - all were delicious and recommended. It's a place more for casual eating, rather than fine dining.

This restaurant is one of my favourites. Good value, reliable food and friendly staff. The Peking duck and dumplings are recommended. Service is speedy - not really a restaurant for lingering unless you dine later at night.

Food was average and service was poor. Restaurant gave us the wrong change and there was a lot of hassle getting it back. Disappointed, given that the BBQ restaurant in the same chain is very good.
