And the award goes to...

Those of us in Singapore aren't the only ones to rate Lion City restaurants highly. Both Iggy's (www.iggys.com.sg) and Les Amis (www.lesamis.com.sg) came in at 45 and 60 respectively on San Pellegrino's World's Best 100 Restaurant list, compiled by 837 restaurant experts - including well-travelled restaurant reviewers, restaurateurs and chefs.

          My Humble House also has something to shout about as the recipient of the Luzern Asian Restaurant of the Year Award 2009, announced at Singapore's recent World Gourmet Summit Awards of Excellence 2009. Executive chef Sam Leong was also named Asian Chef of the Year 2009 and inducted into the World Gourmet Summits' Hall of Fame. To judge My Humble House for yourself, try the weekend buffet - adults pay just $38 and children $24 - and sample dishes such as smoked duck breast salad and pork ribs seasoned with salt and pepper. #02-27/29 Esplanade Mall, 8 Raffles Avenue.
