Celebrating Chinese New Year at a restaurant has never sounded this enticing.

Jen's Kitchen On-The-Go @ Hotel Jen Tanglin Singapore

After a huge facelift, J65 is ready to host eager patrons and hotel guests. Why J65? You might wonder.

J65 is a befitting name for the convergence of all things local.

The Festive North Indian Buffet does not only feature the Tiffin’s Room iconic North Indian specialities but also a few Western additions from such as a platter of European cheeses, scrumptious desserts and even a Christmas Ham and Turkey carving station! The buffet is really a showcase of the best of both worlds.
