Rumah Temasek Restaurant and Takeaway

DAYS OF BUSINESS

Mon - Sat:	10:00 to 22:00

The name Rumah Temasek comes from the Malay language, and translated to English means: House of Singapore, is dates back as far as 14th Century.

From those early beginnings, the history of Temasek has been one of constant change as Temasek moved from a small fishing village supporting a mix of Malay and Chinese settlers, and pirates into what is today a thriving sea port of some of the most exciting array of spices and food delights to be found anywhere in this region.

Tonight we invite you to enjoy just some of the dishes that have made this the Taste of Asia.

All Meat Served In The Restaurant Is Halal.
