Crown Jewels

The world witnessed St Edward’s Crown being placed on the head of the United Kingdom’s new monarch at Westminster Abbey to signify the start of the reign of King Charles III. Though most of us could not be in London to witness the historic event, visit these gems of British cuisine in Singapore instead — each shining as bright as the Crown Jewels. From modern interpretations of English fare to traditional afternoon tea, honour the coronation of King Charles at these British restaurants.

Celebrity chef Marco Pierre White recalls the grace of the colonial era colliding with the dignity of the Chinese towkays at his Singaporean outpost, the English House. Classic Old-World British interiors jostle shoulders with framed Chinese calligraphy — a fitting prelude to the menus, which include both a traditional English menu and a Hong Kong dim sum menu.
