Chef André Chiang

There are two restaurant cars — each is decorated in floral motifs reflecting the culture of the region and featuring either elm panels with light-wood design inlays or rosewood with decorative lacquered panels hand-painted with delicate flowers.

Distinctive cutlery and hand-cut crystal glassware are used. Table d’hôte meals are included in your fare. On most journeys, there are usually two sittings for lunch and dinner. Your preference for the first or second sitting will be noted by the Maitre D’ at check-in. Breakfast and afternoon tea are served in your cabin or in the restaurant car. For passengers wishing to rise early to take advantage of the beautiful scenery, tea and coffee will be served in the Observation Car from 7 am onwards.

We endeavour to cater for special dietary requirements. To avoid disappointment, please inform us fully of your personal requests at least 14 days in advance. We regret that we are unable to provide meals requiring strict religious observance in their preparation.

Complimentary tea and coffee are available at all times. A selection of wines, spirits and local beers can also be served. Premium drinks and drinks served to your cabin will incur an additional charge. Bar drinks may be ordered in the Observation Car, the Bar Car, or served in your cabin by your steward. The Bar Car stays open as long as you wish, but drinks service may be temporarily suspended at the Singaporean/Malaysian border for Customs formalities or at the Train Manager’s discretion.

We will do our best to cater for special dietary requirements, such as vegetarian and vegan, provided a detailed request has been made at the time of booking. If a special request has not been made, Chef André’s team promise to prepare a dish with the ingredients available on board.

In order to comfortably accommodate all passengers, meals have multiple seating times. Preferences for seating times can be noted in advance, however reservations will be confirmed once on board.
