Situated along the riverside at Boat Quay, The Sampan serves unique Pan-Asian cuisine and a variety of beverages with a fantastic view of the Singapore River. The three-storey restaurant and bar is ideal for lunch dates or a relaxing dinner.
Here's a classic Asian flavour - spiciness. The Pork & Chicken Choi Bao with Water Chestnuts & Lap Cheong appetizer definitely started the meal off with a kick.The water chesnuts gave an earthy flavour to the salty meat, and when eaten, there is at first a spicy hint to the Choi Bao, and the spiciness gets stronger over time, making this appetizer one to want more of.

For those who want a healthy main option, The Sampan serves Organic Soba Noodles, Confit Salmon & Ginger Dressing topped with avocado and seaweed. The salmon is fresh and flaky, while the ginger dressing is sweet, creating a famliar and classic combination. This dish fulfills all the food groups and also satifies your appetite without having to worry about the consequences later!

For dessert, we tried the Warm Coconut and Tapioca pearls - a classic dessert enjoyed in every Asian household. The warm and sweet coconut gave a sense of comfort to the consumer, while the tapioca pearls added a unique texture to the thick mixture. Served in a wooden bowl with a wooden spoon, the dessert ended the meal with a warm and comforting touch.
