You’ll find popcorn at the Screening Room’s movie theatre – truffle salsa popcorn, to be exact. But don’t expect any finger food at the posh bistro, a ground-floor dining room decked out with chandeliers and a central bar.The restaurant is a Mediterranean sequel to owner Samia Ahad’s blockbuster Persian-Asian original, Coriander Leaf in Clarke Quay. Try the escabeche of red mullet; the fish is flash-fried and marinated in lemon, making for a deliciously tart, tender white fillet on salad greens. Also recommended is the chicken tagine with whole preserved lemons and olives, richly infusing the slow-cooked stew with a piquant after taste.
