The Halia

A hidden gem amidst the Botanic Gardens, The Halia takes its title from the Ginger Garden in which it’s located: ‘halia’ in Malay stands for ‘ginger’. The restaurant’s interior is an elegant complement to its picturesque surroundings: completed in natural tones with high ceilings and glass walls that open a breath-taking view on the garden.

There is an outdoor part of the restaurant, the so-called ‘Viewing Deck’, where you can enjoy breakfast between 9 and 11am or hide away during a hot afternoon in the shade of ancient trees, surrounded by more than a hundred varieties of ginger plants. Naturally, ginger became an active ingredient in many dishes of this restaurant, those are marked with a special symbol on the menu.
