Hanuman Restaurant
If your ideal dinner consists of rich, Oriental flavours, then head to Hanuman Restaurant for tonight’s meal. A mixture of Thai, Nyonya and Tamil flavours, each dish is unique at this well-loved local restaurant. Their extensive menu ranges from Thai crispy whole fish with a hot, sweet-and-sour sauce, right through to a succulent braised pork belly with a Chinese-style sauce, cinnamon and star anise. Along with a huge range of soups, there is something to suit every taste at this modern gem. Don’t forget to save space for dessert! Their Sri Lankan love cake served with toasted ginger crumble and vanilla ice cream is a strong contender for their best sweet treat.

Casa Nostra Pizza & Spaghetti House
For a family-style feed everyone will love, the Casa Nostra Pizza and Spaghetti House is the place to visit. Specialising in traditional Italian dishes, every meal is cooked with love and full of flavour. Order the creamy carbonara with bacon and egg, or opt for the spicy tomato puttanesca pasta served with olives, anchovies, capers and chilli. Their menu also includes a huge variety of main meals and pizzas, although we recommend running your eyes over the house specialties. Named after the restaurant itself, the Casa Nostra is a pasta dish packed with chicken and mushroom, drizzled in tomato and cream sauce and sprinkled with black pepper. Yum!
