IndoChili is known for being one of the most authentic Indonesian restaurants in Singapore. Their menu mainly consists of dishes from Java, Padang, and Bali. They take pride in only using natural ingredients to flavour their items, so the dishes are entirely MSG-free.
Priced from $12.80++, go for their variety of chicken dishes such as Ayam Bakar Kecap, a BBQ flavoured chicken, or the Ayam Kari Padang for a Padang-style curry chicken. For something more interesting, check out the Bunut Goreng Special ($17.80++) which is a sauteed oxtail, paired with onion and sweet sauce.
IndoChili also offers set rice meals if you are not planning to share with others. A few items you can try are the Nasi Goreng Seafood ($13.80++), Nasi Kampung ($11.80++), and a traditional Javanese-style rice dish—the Tumpeng Mini ($15.80++).

4. Suki-Suki Thai Hot Pot
Celebrating a special occasion doesn’t always have to be all fancy and formal. Consider jazzing up your occasion with a Thai-style hot pot at Suki-Suki Thai Hot Pot.
Diners pay $22.90++ for lunch and $27.90++ for dinner. For an additional $10.90++, they can upgrade to the Premium menu, which features indulgent options such as Wagyu beef and tiger prawns.
Suki-Suki Thai Hot Pot offers six different types of soup bases. If you are contemplating which soup to go for, pick the crowd favourites—Red Tom Yum and Sweet Basil Chicken. The former has a strong and rich herby flavour, while the latter is light and aromatic; both complement each other well! We also recommend having the seafood dipping sauce to pair with your meat, as its slightly tangy notes go perfectly with the umami meat.
