Neighbourhood gem

Singapore for almost 200 years has been at the crossroads of Southeast Asia, where many cultures and nationalities live, work and more importantly, eat together. Singapore's cuisines logically reflect this cultural diversity. The four major culinary cultures -- Malaysian/Indonesian, Chinese, Indian and Nonya -- are in fact a blend of each other, creating a new cuisine that is unique and more complex in flavors and fragrances. Straight Hawker Street offers a menu that features the complexity of all these Singaporean cuisines in chef Chris Yeo's unique interpretation. This Asian-Zen inspired Burlingame location opened in August of 2004.

Great flavors- all the dishes we ordered tasted authentic. The portion sizes were very small for the price points. They should be a bit more generous so that when a family of 4 people orders: 2 appetizers and 4 main dishes, and 2 orders of coconut rice, leave feeling full, not still hungry..

Straits has changed to a more casual "tapas" format. The roti prata is by far the best - thin and puffy (typical roti that I've had are pancake thick). The garlic noodles were excellent. Honey walnut prawns and the BBQ chicken wings were good too. The lychee mule was yummy ! The bar area should be expanded which would be more conducive to the new casual format. The benches and lighting are a bit sterile in the dining area.

My son has a severe nut allergy and our server did not seem to understand the severity of the situation so we lost confidence and as a result my son did not eat anything. Also, they got our order wrong and gave us the wrong check. Too many “wrongs” for a dining experience for us!
