I am currently quarantined at home, having just returned from the United States, and decided to try out Alma's new takeout menu. The Angus Beef Burger was juicy and delicious, and the flavor of the freshly baked buns complemented the burger really well. It comes with a side of chips and a brownie for dessert - at only $29, I think it is worth it to have a Michelin-starred meal from the comfort of your own home! Part of the proceeds are also donated to help support our healthcare workers in this time of need, which is a bonus! Would definitely get it again!

Although the food is supposed to be modern European, we liked the use of Japanese ingredients such as the pear and 'june plum'. We also liked how some of the food, like the langoustine,was so fresh it was served sashimi style. The A5 Ohmi beef was also excellent. Without using chilli, the chef managed to add 'spice' to some of his dishes, with the use of ingredients like fresh radish. As expected, the dishes were beautifully presented - but what we found more important was the delicious blends of textures and taste, including the snacks served before the main course. The potato bread was also very delicious. The only negative point is that if you are hungry, you might need more of the potato bread. However, this was not an issue as the restaurant happily served more bread when asked - my husband took 6 pieces of the bread, which he enjoyed and helped to fill him up. I was full just eating the snacks, the main dishes, and the desserts. Loved the canele dessert (served as part of the petite 'ha') as it was made with smoked gula melaka.

The lunch menu is a fantastic value for the quality and taste. We had the 4-course menu and did not disappoint. Crispy tofu and the Lobster Pasta were the highlight. You could add $12 Singapore Dollars for the Pork Jowl, which reading other reviews, may have to give it a try next visit. That being said, can't believe it took me this long to come here, hopefully will be back soon!
Though it was near the end of their lunch period, there were still many diners. The service was professional and welcoming.

Went to Alma last weekend for their 5-course dinner at $198++. Made the reservation for Dec initially, then was told before our Dec date that the menu has been revised to over $300 for the festive menu and we could wait till after Jan 5 where it would be back to $178+. We waited and did as asked, and was even asked to pick our food options which I did (Hungarian goose).
One day before our dinner on Friday, I get an email that says the menu has been updated and it is now $198++ with duck instead being offered. I decided against my better judgement not to cancel as this reservation had involved many calls from them and emails, and they also apologised with a free bottle of Bordeaux red (their house pour at $78 per bottle, retails around $25 in supermarkets so their cost is closer to $15).
We arrived soaked because the restaurant's parking is outdoors and they did not have a shelter to receive guests at the front entrance which had 5-6 steps of stairs that were uncovered. In the heavy downpour, we had no chance. The hostess did not have any staff offering to shelter guests coming out of their cars in the wet.
I had indicated that we do not eat foie gras and prefer not to eat sea urchin in my initial reservation. The 3 snacks offered, 1 had foie gras and the first course was sea urchin ! So far not so good. First course also came with a sorbet (not as a palette cleanser after but as part of the food), then second course came with an ice cream. Innovative but surely not back to back ?
Main course sadly we both chose duck, and it was an unqualified disaster. The duck breast was undercooked, very pink and the fat unrendered. It was tiny sliver of duck, about 4 includes long and tapered from the thickest part at about 7mm to the thinnest part which was about 3-4mm. I am not kidding, it was such a thin sliver we didn't think they were serious. My partner took half a bite and left the rest, and the only thing they offered was to put it back in the oven which we declined because it was very fat anyway.
Saving grace was the ode to the local culture with the tribute to Yan Kun toast (they put a foie gras toast in Chinese style paper bag) and the dessert which was light and delightful, a thin wafer coated with chocolate served on top of a white chocolate ice cream.
Overall, the worst Michelin experience we have had, and we have clocked 13 Michelin stars in the last 4 months so we have had a lot to compare with.

visited using the citibank prestige dining promo late last year. based on it being a 1-michelin star, I think the food menu and service could be improved. Perhaps, the menu was curated for a discounted citibank menu costing about $200 and thus, I didn't feel that it has delighted us as a 1-michelin star restaurant offering quality food, unique presentation and fabulous service. It is not that they didn't use expensive food ingredients, it is just that the creations somehow weren't exciting which cause diners to keep drawing parallel to other similar places which they may have dined before.
aside, the service crew spoke so softly that I can't hear most of the time on the dish I am having. The other guests around us were louder (not that they were shouting).

We were really excited to try Alma after reading all the glowing reviews online. We were very impressed by the service quality. The wait staff was engaging, attentive and knowledgeable about the dishes.
Our dinner started with a bang with the amuse bouche but it all went downhill when the main courses began.
The ravioli dish might be due to personal preference because I am not a fan of foam and I felt the texture and taste of foam didn't elevate the dish in any way aside from trying to be avant-garde.
My meat course was an utter disappointment. My pork rib was dry and the dish in itself was disconnected. The gobo root and ginseng foam complemented each other whilst the leek stuck out like a sore thumb. And honestly, I couldn't get past how a 1 michelin star restaurant could allow dry pork out of the kitchen. One would have expected some quality control for the price we are paying. They tried to make it up by providing us complimentary coffee and tea but honestly my night was ruined.
I severely question their 1 michelin star. Pls ensure you can cook meat properly before you try all these fancy techniques.

We wanted to try this restaurant for a while since it has a good number of excellent reviews, but sadly it wan't for us.
Although the food was presented beautiful, but the taste was confusing so I don't remember what I ate. And, the portion was way too small.
The restaurant deco was a bit outdated and boring, not suitable for a romantic meal.
The service seemed to be very attentive and yet the table was left uncleared with left-over breads and bread plates even after we had finished the dessert and coffee. Not the kind of service expected in fine dining.

We were pleasantly surprised by Alma. We expected great food (which there was) but also assumed the service would be "uptight". The staff were very professional but also very friendly, I nice change from many of the typical formal tasting menu restaurants.

My husband & I went for the 7-course degustation dinner & had an absolutely delightful dining experience! Every single course (especially the Alma snacks at the beginning & piping hot bread served on hot coffee beans) was simply delightful! The chefs weaved in a mixture of flavours & textures into every bite, we absolutely enjoyed ourselves. Dinner was also made even more amazing because of the excellent service of Saravana & team. We were very well taken care of by the service staff.
Thank you too to the Alma team for accommodating my dietary restrictions as I'm currently expecting. They paid extra attention to tweak each course to ensure I wasn't consuming anything raw/undercooked, unpasteurized cheeses, cured meats, alcohol etc.
We had a thoroughly great time & look forward to be back!

We dine here regularly and on special occasions and we have never been disappointed with the food and service. It is always nice to experience the different menus every time they change it. The nine course meal we just had was fabulous and most memorable. The staffs are also very pleasant, friendly and attentive. Great dining experience overall and Michelin Star well deserved!

I've been going to Alma since it opened and have always found it to be reliably fantastic value for very good food. Since restaurants closed for the pandemic, my dinner group has been actively ordering from restaurants we hope will survive this tough time, and Alma has been consistently the best of the takeout options to date. The weekend sets are delicious and come with clear instructions (including plating). Portions are generous and the dishes are curated to travel well. There are a lot of things that can go wrong with high end takeout, and Alma gets it all right. I hope the takeout continues even after we open up, because it is perfect for date nights.

The rack of lamb came with instruction on simple reheating which brought out the fragrance of the gulai spices crust and bouquet of herbs, without affecting the meat. It was done perfectly with just the right amount of pink and still juicy. The gulai spices added a very local flavour which surprising went very well with the smoked tomato rice! Yum!
The rice and other dishes came all warm. Love the warm potato salad which was made of baby potatoes including little purple ones. Not sure what was mixed in it but it was so full of flavours that they were gone instantly. The carrots and roasted cauliflower were great accompaniments without being piping hot.

Food was nice but fish i ordered came not cooked well and was told it is normal. I asked to recook it but that is already not as good as if the fish was cooked properly from the start....the strange thing was when i asked the server whether it was meant to be done not completely cooked & she said yes (OMG). Separately, when I asked for an additional piece of bread but was told i need to ask for the whole box of 3 (inflexible for a high end restaurant), that's a let down.

My heavenly experience in Alma began with the 100% Sangiovese red wine from San Felice Campogiovanni Brunello di Montalcino Riserva II Quercione – surely when I sipped the top 1% of all wines in the world, I knew I just had to savour the taste and let it linger, and forget about finding the words to describe the taste of this exquisite vintage. Next came Alma’s signature potato bread that oozed with aroma with its warm texture that is perfect for the spread of Bordier Smoke Butter, leaving me to crave for more, and yes, I did end up eating all three pieces served in the beautiful wooden box laden with coffee beans. My first course of today’s lunch was the popular Crispy Tofu – when my teeth sank into the tofu with the blend of wild mushroom, truffle and foie gras, it was ecstatic – the mix between hard and soft for the palate is like consuming sweet music to the ears. When the second course Boston Losbter was served, it was so picturesque I halted to admire the dish – the Angel Hair pasta and broccoli formed the mountainous terrain with the top flattened by the lobster boulders while the Hijiki Seaweed projected the source of multiple waterfalls cascading down the mountains. The finale of the 3-course lunch ended with “Poire Belle Helene” with Alma’s new dessert – with the unique pouring of passion fruit juice with (jin xuan) tea onto the vanilla poached pears, served with 72% chocolate, whipped cream and roasted almonds. I was mesmerized by the balance of flavours (the bitterness in the chocolate that contrasted with the sweetness of the pear and cream) and balance of textures (the soft juice with tea contrasted the crunch of almonds and the firm pear). If you want to experience how food could be served to titilate your palate and senses, go to Alma.

Was craving for a good meal but didn't want to venture out. Therefore, I had a take away from Alma. It looked like any ordinary burger but at first bite, the beef was really cooked just right and so full of flavor. The cheese has multi layer of complexity. Plus fresh crispy salads, chips and a yummy brownie. Very satisfied after that!
Plus I can do charity work with this lunch. Part of the takings is donated to National Univ Hospital in appreciation of their fight against COVID 19.
