................................$The menu at The Basement @ Hong Leong feels like a melting pot of casual comfort and curious daily eats, all under one roof at 16 Raffles Quay. Even though this spot leans more like a food‑hall experience than a traditional sit‑down restaurant, the variety really stands out when you take a close look. You can wash down hearty bites with a simple tea to kick off your meal or pair pretzels with something more filling, adding a playful twist to quick bites. When you’re hungriest, the menu swings between homey Asian classics like bibimbap and rich rice with curry mutton, giving you that satisfying, simmered‑flavour comfort that CBD workers crave on a busy weekday. There’s also beef noodles, robust and warm, perfect for when you need something substantial, and a lighter, fluffy salmon omelette that somehow feels both indulgent and wholesome.
What I loved most as a reviewer is how these seemingly random items come together in a coherent lineup - it’s not just about eating fast, it’s about enjoying variety. Dishes like the bibimbap bring vibrant colour and mix of textures, while the curry mutton rides on bold spices that make you pause and savour each bite. Even the tofu offerings, like Yao tofu ingredients, add a plant‑friendly punch to the menu, making sure there’s something for almost everyone. Altogether, this spread makes The Basement @ Hong Leong a reliably diverse choice if you’re wandering through Raffles Place and want a casual bite that still feels thoughtfully put together.
