Description
The epitome of ethnic cuisine, Raffles was founded a decade ago by an expatriate Englishman who had traveled extensively throughout Southeast Asia before settling in Japan. His original shop, a little off the beaten path, proved so successful he was able to build his own place in a more convenient location. The various dishes, with origins from Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, etc., are all authentic, delicious and spicy: the owner maintains a garden of spices he raises himself. Each dish is prepared with care, so they occasionally take time, but the wait is well worth it.
