New Menu at Lime House

Beef Ribs at Lime House, Singapore

Despite the diversity of Singapore’s food & beverage scene, Lime House is astoundingly still the only place to get authentic Caribbean food in Singapore. The recent re-jig of their menu sees all the meatiest sharing plates take centre-stage in this loveable establishment. For instance, the colossal Beef Ribs ($98) consists of a hunk of beef that comes slathered in Lime House’s house-made BBQ sauce.
