Shashlik In Singapore
Shashlik is a Russian cuisine. Shashlik is also the name of a popular restaurant serving Russian cuisine in Far East Shopping Centre. The last time I was there was with Linda, about a few years back.
I met up with Sergey and Jane who are in town to settle some administrative matters for the Singapore office they are setting up. Sergey is the founder of Bioron, a biomedical company headquartered in Russia. After setting up their first sales office in Germany, they're now setting up their Asian office in Singapore.
Since my Russian friends are in town, I thought it'll be a good idea to bring them to Shashlik to check out how authentic the food is. They had a good laugh at the name of the restaurant and told me that it's hard to find a restaurant that serves good shashlik in Russia. Jane also told me that shashlik is usually prepared outdoor over burned ash.
Both of them ordered Chicken a la Kiev and I had lamb shashlik. They really liked what they ate and Shashlik definitely passed their taste test. Jane took a picture of me and Sergey pointing to the restaurant signboard. I'll post it up when I get the picture from her.
Anyway the address of the restaurant is:
#06-19, Far East Shopping Centre (oppo Thai Embassy)
Tel: 6732 6401
Remember to call to make reservations cos it's usually packed, even on weekdays.

Hi Logan. This is Ben. Nice blog.
Yeah Shashlik has those really old but good Hainanese waiters/waitresses.
