If you're looking for priceless ambience without the maddening crowd, Vanilla Pod - nestled amid the luscious Mandai Orchid Garden - is all that and more. Besides tranquil surrounding, it also offers quality, wholesome European fare, whipped up by Chef Peter Boon. Formerly from Friends restaurant, Chef Peter, who has been trained in French culinary classics, has come up with a menu full of affordable European-inspired dishes. Do try the tarte flambée or flammeküche, a light Alsatian pizza; homemade crab cakes with lobster and balsamic reduction; and the generous pork knuckles, slow-roasted until tender with addictively crispy skin. Accompanying the menu is an equally value-for-money wine list comprising quality picks from boutique wineries. Dine at the charming greenhouse restaurant, the sprawling alfresco deck or the quaint and cosy café for a dining experience like no other. - Joyce Huang
