Sometimes when I visit Singapore I'm left wanting for more eating options. There are plenty of great street eateries, but when I want something special I only have a hand full of ideas. Then I found Flutes at the Fort!
In an old colonial bungalow on Fort Canning, Flutes is the most uniquely Singaporean experience I've had. We started with drinks on the balcony, watching fruit bats speed in an out of the leafy canopy above us. A warm Singaporean breeze moved past us before the mandatory dusk rain started to pour down on us. We made our way indoors, weaving in and out of the white linen tables. You can easily imagine Futes as someones home - the rooms seem to have been opened up but largely kept in place, giving the dining room a private and personal feel. Several people commented on the unique artwork - it's obvious that someone has put a lot of thought into decorating this beautiful venue.
As a main I had risotto and for desert a chocolate tart. Beautiful salads and breads seemed to be continuously coming and going from the table. We were there are part of a large party (30+ people) and I was impressed that the veggies amongst us were so well-fed (usually function vegetarian is an after-thought!). I'll definitely be going back on my next Singapore trip! Flutes suits a romantic dinner for 2 or even a small to medium sized work event. Finally I've found the soul in Singapore.
