Food customisation is becoming a huge thing worldwide and it is not surprising that this trend is reflected in Singapore too. Though having a standard menu is the usual practice of a restaurant, diners nowadays enjoy making their own choices based on their personal preferences.
With the option of creating your own meal, it is likely that visitors will have a better experience while dining as the meal has been catered specially for their tastebuds. And let’s face it, who doesn’t like the fun of customising your own meal?
