Views are breathtaking at Hotel Indigo’s 26th-floor restaurant overlooking the well-kept grounds of “Embassy Row” on Wireless Road. Char’s svelte and chic lounge ambiance makes this perfect for intimate dining, and the restaurant also offers multiple private rooms for larger groups, each with sweeping city vistas. Chef Jaime Rojas from Mexico, no stranger to famous kitchens, presents a creative and adventurously varied menu. A Mexican dish gives the best start to the meal, with mini beef birria quesadillas an excellent appetiser, plumped up with luscious pulled beef and served with a consommé dip that adds depth to galvanise the ensemble. For mains, jambalaya seafood rice topped with grilled chicken has a surprisingly fiery kick to secure the spotlight. A meat selection from the grill menu is also recommended supplemented with one of the richly layered and innovative pasta sides of smoked pork sausage mac and cheese. Desserts are equally innovative, with polenta corn cake made with dulce de leche and served with caramelised bacon and coffee ice cream for that extra layer of mischief. Cocktails and mocktails are abundant; innovative new mixes sit alongside the classics and a concise wine list, giving ample choice by bottle and glass.
