Outside Hotel 1929 lies the notorious red-light district of Keong Saik Road; inside, the mood is more serene as diners peruse the eclectic Mod Euro menu from the talented Sebastian Ng. The food is consistently good and imaginative, including pan-seared scallops with parma ham in an orange and tarragon vinaigrette; and sea bass with smoked bacon ragout and truffleyuzu butter sauce. Like the food, the decor is neither fussy nor pretentious.
