Right up your

ALLEY ON 25 at the

chic new Andaz hotel

offers seven eateries

under one slick roof. We

tell you what’s good.

All-day dining just got a leg up with the opening

of Alley On 25, the spanking new Andaz hotel’s

seven-in-one dining concept that reinterprets street-side

dining in posher fashion. It’s the flagship eatery of this

hipper, luxe sister property of the Hyatt group. Spread

across the 25th storey of the hotel, the five restaurants,

one bar and a lounge all segue into one another via

chic walkways that mimic the feel of strolling through

the alleyways of an enclave.

But you won’t find the likes of nasi padang, curries,

or quintessential hawker dishes here. The hotel has

eschewed these offerings since time-honoured renditions

can be found along the streets right outside its doors in

the surrounding Kampong Glam and Bugis area.

Rather, the concepts run the gamut from classic

Chinese with a Sichuan twist and modern Asian

barbecue cooked over charcoal, to elegant desserts

inspired by Singaporean flavours. The hotel’s chef de

cuisine Raj Kumar oversees Alley on 25, guided by

executive chef Soren Lascelles.

If you want to save your visit here for some festive

feasting, Alley on 25 is serving a buffet ($168) on
