Bukit Timah is known for its lush forest enclaves and urban appeal, although we don't tend to think of it as a dining destination when it comes to eating out in Singapore.
How wrong can one be? This is a district full of gorgeous eateries with popular tried and true establishments serving some of the best meals for all-day dining on the Island.
