Halia – A Splendid Date With Nature

Nothing I enjoy more than an outdoor dining in the nature and Halia is no exception. Surrounded by trees and flowers (it is located inside the Singapore Botanic Garden,) Halia provides the calm and soothing ambience for a romantic dining experience. The indoor sitting is comfortable. The floor to ceiling glass window provides a view of the garden from the dining area. I personally prefer the outdoor deck sitting. Nothing says romance more than being out in the open.
To set the mood for the evening, I would recommend taking a walk in the garden before arriving for dinner. It’s a pre-date date. It allows you to get closer to your partner and it helps set the tone for the entire evening.
The service is excellent. The Asian-influenced fusion menu provides variety of options to diners. According to the wait staff, the Crisp Black Pepper Soft-Shell Crab is a local favorite. Since I don’t eat seafood, I can’t attest to that statement.
Every second Sunday of the month, you can enjoy a mellow tune of the past and contemporary love songs performed by the Retro Trio. And on last Sunday of the month, you will be entertained by Caravan Jazz Quartet who livens up the evening with cool renditions of jazz favorites and toe-tapping bossa nova hits.
For an evening you and your date will not forget, you can’t go wrong with an outdoor dining at Halia. Reservation is highly recommended.
