@tiffinroomsg is rounding off a series of successful collaborations with an enchanting showcase of specially curated dishes and well-crafted cocktails from @elephantroomsg (4 courses + 4 cocktails - $118/guest). We definitely are no stranger to wine pairings but Indian cuisine paired with Indian-influenced cocktails? That might just be a first!
The first course sees a Crispy Fried Prawn with a sweet and spicy guava chutney and masala peanuts paired with “Buffalo Road” - a cocktail with Juniper spirit and pink guava. The cocktail was really good(my fave) and I absolutely enjoyed the textural contrast and explosion of flavours in the dish
The second course highlights an interesting ingredient - betel leaf. Expect the softest melt-in-your-mouth lamb kebab which has been minced 8 times over a span of 8-9 hours, on a delightfully crisp fried betel leaf, complemented by “Race Course Plantation” - a rum-based cocktail with sugar cane juice, coconut, and betel leaf. I’ve never been a fan of lamb but this was breathtakingly delicious! I don’t think I’ll ever find a lamb kebab this good!
Third course : Achari Murgh Curry, Madras Fish Curry, Dalcha Chop Masala, Paneer Pulao (in signature tiffin box) with plain, garlic and cheese naan. I’m a little sad that the Achari Murgh and Madras Fish Curry will not be available after this collaboration ends because they are insanely yummy. I rarely eat Indian food but I would kill for these two curries and the fragrant naan anyday! Will strongly urge you to give them a try before this menu runs its course (16 September). The accompanying cocktail “Mr Desker” (made with 2 Indian whiskies) was pretty strong when I first tried it but when I took sips of it in between bites of naan, rice, and curry, I realised that the cocktail actually tasted perfect. I was really surprised but I Guess that’s the beauty of food and alcohol pairing ! So much art and finesse!
And finally, a unique dessert of rice and milk dumplings cooked with Jaggery, paired with Sippin @ 78(Bru coffee rum, coconut kombucha & caramelised onions)
I don’t think you can get such an exclusive meal with 4 cocktails at just $118 anywhere else so make a reservation now!

Check out the differences of Orchard Road in Singapore during COVID19 Phase 1 and Phase 2.
Music by David Meraki: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCI-ShiSbaApBfnKdgVaSWsQ
Fun Facts:
Orchard Road is a famous street in South East Asia, and increasingly across the world. Adorned with stores, malls, eateries and sites, the 2.2km strip is a paradise delight for shoppers and tourists alike. But there are a few things about Orchard Road that are little known, and adding these to your bank of knowledge could quite impress whoever you choose to stroll down the famed boulevard with. It’s not all about shopping and consumerism, there’s a lot more to this historic street in the Lion City.
1. If you perchance to stroll down Orchard Road between around 6:30 to 8:30pm, you may notice that the human species is somewhat outnumbered by another; hundreds and hundreds of birds flock to the famed shopping street in the evening, The Birds
If you perchance to stroll down Orchard Road between around 6:30 to 8:30pm, you may notice that the human species is somewhat outnumbered by another; hundreds and hundreds of birds flock to the famed shopping street in the evening, and their singing of sunset songs can actually become quite a racket. But why are there so many birds? Singapore is actually located right on course of the East Asian-Australasian Flyway – the migrating path of thousands of birds, and the island is an essential stop for the birds to refuel – and what a place to do it! Munching on leftover food, and singing from the many treetops that line the streets are four different species of birds; the Asian Glossy Starling, the Javan Myna, the house crow, and the rock pigeon.
But their presence comes with an unsightly catch – the poop. Executive Director of the Orchard Road Business Association, Steven Goh, is expending much effort and a lot of resources to keep the boulevard clean. For example, up to 3’000 litres of water every night is used to pressure clean the street and rid it of bird poop.
1. What’s in a Name?
The name Orchard Road actually originates from where you might think – it was once lined with orchards! Early in the 19th century it was home to Pepper and Gambier plantations, which years later gave way to Nutmeg and Fruit Orchards.
It’s rumored that a “Mr. Orchard” used to own some of the land at the corner of present-day Scotts Road and Orchard Road, and as lovely as that might be, there doesn’t seem to be much evidence to support it.
1. What Once Was…
As well as fruitful orchards (that sadly diminished mostly due to disease), Orchard Road was also once the location of three cemeteries; a Chinese cemetery, a Sumatran cemetery, and later on, a Jewish Cemetery.
By the 1860’s there were many private houses on Orchard Road, and in the early 1890’s, King Chulalongkorn, King of Siam, acquired “Hurricane House”. Later two pieces of property were added on, and it is now the site of the Royal Thai Embassy, at 370 Orchard Road.
The early 20th Century saw Orchard Road as home to a number of different things including fresh produce markets, car parks, the Orchard Road Railway and the Glutton’s market – where locals would wait for the clock to hit 5pm before setting up a number of stalls selling local cuisines and goodies.
And then in 1958 the Orchard Road that we know now began, with the opening of CK Tang’s Department store – the first and longest-running of its kind on the strip.
1. A Secret Street
Just a hop behind the glamourous Orchard Road, is another awe-inspiring street, but not for any of the same reasons.
Emerald Hill is a little street of terraced houses that feels as though it’s been frozen in time – a stunning display of Chinese Baroque architecture, this little street definitely deserves a little of your time away from Orchard Road.
What was once a nutmeg plantation (which sadly failed due to disease) has since become the home of many-a-wealthy Singaporean, and has even been the mystical setting for many short stories written by pioneer of Singaporean Literature Goh Sin Tub.

A few days ago , I joined PUAK Payong to observe and learn how they go about managing cases that are brought to their attention, in hope to be able to do it independently in the future and hopefully, in my own home state.
Case 4:
M U S T A F A’ S F A M I L Y
Family of 11 children. All they wanted was a TV. But more of that in just a bit.
Eldest child is 23 years old. Youngest is 2 months old.
Laki bini toreh getah (rubber tappers). They tap rubber at a rubber plantation nearby and earn RM2.10 per kilo ; half of the earnings goes to the land owner.
To supplement their income, they are able to provide simple motor repairs around the village.
One of the older children quit school to help the parents make ends meet. He earns RM30 a day - RM10 he keeps for himself , RM20 to buy food ingredients so the family can cook a meal.
They receive RM200 from JKM (welfare department) but that’s barely enough to feed a family of 11. They don’t pay rent though the owners do ask they help “maintain” the house.
The house is falling apart but they make do with bits and bobs they find or able to buy with “extra” income.
The fridge does not work - it merely stores their daily meals. They too have a decorative fan and have used old machinery to make a proper fan for one of the rooms that the young daughters share.
(There are 2 bedrooms : one bedroom is for the parents. One more for the older girls. The rest sleep outside on the floor with makeshift beds using thick blankets).
They just want a TV - maybe equipped with ENJOY TV?
Tuan Syed Azmi asks, “if you could have anything on your list beside a TV... what would it be?”
“Washing machine!”
“Fan!”
....
“A bicycle?” stammers the small boy who stands quietly behind his siblings.
We all smile at the boy.
TokAyah (our logistic liasion who is a retired Oil&Gas consultant) shares his concerns with us about the wiring of the house.
Syed Azmi tells the family that he will try his level best to raise funds for their needs, but the wiring of the house is paramount.
Dejected faces of the young children but spirits are up when they know they won’t have to worry about no electricity when thunder strikes.
The children show us how they fit all family members on one sedan Proton car. Some of the older boys sit on the back of the car.
Dangerous one might think.... this is survivor skills they know how.
I return the sleeping 2 month old bub to his mother with a reluctant heart and pass some toiletries and makeup I brought with me to pass to the ladies of the house.
We bid our goodbyes and then I see the Jambu air tree.
I asked for a ladder so I could climb the tree but the little ones offered to help me pluck the fruits instead.
So fresh and sweet!
They seem quite content with their lives. The mother has such an endearing smile. No wonder her husband is so smitten by her 🥰.

All I want is nothing more
to hear you knocking at my door
'cause if i could see your face once more
I could die as a happy man I'm sure
when you said your last goodbye
I died a little bit inside
I lay in tears in bed all night
alone without you by my side
but If you loved me
why did you leave me
take my body
take my body
all I want is
all I need is
to find somebody
oooohhhh ohhh
'cause you brought out the best of me
a part of me I'd never seen
you took my soul wiped it clean
our love was made for movie screens
but If you loved me
why did you leave me
take my body
take my body
all I want is
all I need is
to find somebody
ooooohhhhhh
if you loved me
why did you leave me
take my body
take my body
all I want is
all I need is
to find somebody
to find somebody
like you
oooohhh

High Chaparral: The tale of the villagers ---
|| For the past few months, the story of once little known Kampung Buah Pala on the island of Penang and its inhabitants have seemed to be the only talk of the island.
Also popularly known as 'Tamil High Chaparral' to Penangites due to its traditional population of cowherds, this old settlement is located at the heart of the rapidly developing eastern part of Georgetown.
The plight of the Kampung Buah Pala villagers hit the headlines recently after they received a court order to vacate their old village of which three generations have lived to make way for a modern condominium.
Local historians claim the village had existed for more than 150 years. It was part of a large coconut plantation owned by the family of a Margaret Brown.
Certainly there seems to be a document testifying that Margaret Brown had stated before leaving for Britain that the land is to be left to the people who were living and working there. This was in 1938. The current residents are believed to be descendents of the original settlers.
Because of this bit of history, there are parties who are pushing for Kampung Buah Pala to be gazetted as heritage property. Its perhaps the only way to save this village from certain disappearance.
Malaysiakini visited the village to document for posterity a peace of history that is about to be wiped out in one fell swoop.
We were expecting to see a large settlement of 300 villagers, in 33 houses with 50 or more families living harmoniously in a highly cultured village because it was referred to as a model Tamil Hindu settlement, with a traditional population of cowherds and many other essences of Tamil heritage.
But we were disappointed. There wasnt even an old Hindu temple central to a Tamil settlement.
Kampung Buah Pala in reality is a stretch of road lined by less than 30 houses standing next to modern residential properties.
The hey-day of a bustling coconut plantation population has certainly left Kampung Buah Pala many, many years ago.
