1. Tamba
Housed in a two-storey conservation shophouse along Duxton Road, Tamba is an intimate yet transcendent restaurant that fetes the vibrant spirit and rich flavours of West Africa.
Designed by Virginia Pérez-Orive, who spent two years researching and curating to reflect the essence of Tamba, the interiors unearth stunning sculptures and cultural artefacts. A palette of terracotta and earthy tones is juxtaposed with striking colours, while the textured walls—painstakingly crafted by hand-etching forks across clay—are charmingly rustic and lend the effect of windblown sand.
As for the menu, expect a feast of punchy yet comforting flavours, with a bold use of spice and smoke. Cherished staples include Jollof rice, succulent sakura chicken, dense Tapalapa bread served with creamy goat’s milk ricotta, and flame-kissed Suya (Angus tenderloin), accompanied by kachumbari (a piquant tomato and onion salad) and a crunchy smoked kuli kuli (nut chip).
