Station by Kotuwa: Aboard For A New Wave Of Sri Lankan Flavours

All aboard for an unforgettable culinary adventure at Station by Kotuwa, the newest and most vibrant destination for Sri Lankan dining in Singapore. Opened in March 2025 at 21 Boon Tat Street, Station by Kotuwa reimagines the spirit of Colombo’s busiest railway station into a dynamic and delicious experience curated by acclaimed Chef Rishi Naleendra and Head Chef Jay Teo.

A Fun, Fresh, and Approachable Sri Lankan Experience

Inspired by the bustling energy of Kotuwa Station in Colombo, Station by Kotuwa invites you into a world where vibrant Sri Lankan flavours meet contemporary creativity. Unlike traditional family-style dining, the a la carte menu offers the flexibility to build your ideal meal, with snacks from $7++, starters from $14++, mains from $22++, and desserts from $12++. For a seamless experience, opt for the Station Feast at $68++ per person, featuring a curated spread of signature dishes.

Vivid Flavours, Inventive Creations: Every Dish Tells a Story

Start your journey with playful snacks like the Oysters with Achcharu Granita — freshly shucked oysters topped with a tangy Sri Lankan lychee pickle granita that delivers a refreshing, briny punch balanced with gentle tartness. The Banana Blossom Cutlets with Curry Leaf Aioli offer crisp, panko-crumbed croquettes filled with tender banana blossom and potatoes, enhanced by the aromatic notes of curry leaves.

For those craving rich, savoury bites, the Mutton Rolls with Spicy Tamarind Ketchup feature minced lamb seasoned with warming spices, wrapped in egg crepes, deep-fried to golden perfection, and paired with a tangy, zesty tamarind sauce that ignites the palate.

Among the starters, the Kingfish with Pickled Jambu is a standout. This delicate sashimi dish is bathed in a light coconut dressing, topped with pickled jambu, green chilli, crispy puffed rice, and finished with kaffir lime oil — a bright and refreshing way to awaken your taste buds.

Another must-try is the Chilled Rasam with Yoghurt and Tomatoes, a gazpacho-style reinvention of the South Indian classic, combining tamarind and tomatoes with cooling yoghurt and a subtle undercurrent of spices.

The Kaliya Chicken Liver with Egg Roti offers a comforting and rustic dish, featuring tender chicken liver simmered in an earthy Sri Lankan Malay curry sauce, accompanied by a rich, fluffy egg onion roti for mopping up every drop of the delicious gravy.

Hearty Mains and Thoughtful Sides

For a hearty main, the Pan-Roasted Red Grouper with Mustard Curry impresses with its perfectly crispy skin and a bed of vibrant mustard curry, blending the heat of green mustard with the smoothness of coconut cream. Charred Asian greens add a welcome crunch to this soulful dish.

Meat lovers will revel in the Slow-Roasted Lamb Shoulder, marinated in yoghurt, saffron, green chilli, and garlic, slow-cooked until tender, and finished with a smoky kiss from the grill, wrapped in banana leaves to seal in its aromatic richness.

Vegetarians are not forgotten — the Grilled Pumpkin with Cashew Nuts and Coconut showcases the luscious sweetness of roasted pumpkin paired with a light and nutty Sri Lankan kaju curry, brightened with fresh herbs and toasted shredded coconut for added texture and flavour.

Complement your mains with comforting sides like Tempered Dhal rich with lentils and spices, fluffy Basmati Rice, or Roti — alongside an array of classic Sri Lankan condiments including the fiery Pol Sambal (grated coconut, chilli, lime), sweet and tangy Seeni Sambol (caramelised onion relish), and the punchy Wambatu Moju (pickled eggplant).

Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth

End your journey with rich and satisfying desserts. The Valrhona Chocolate Biscuit Pudding is a luxurious, nostalgic treat featuring layers of biscuits soaked in milk and arrack, layered with velvety chocolate mousse, and crowned with an airy arrack-infused Chantilly cream.

For a vibrant finale, the Falooda brings together rose syrup, agar jelly, nata de coco, basil seeds, vermicelli, and crushed pistachios, topped with vanilla ice cream — a cooling and playful celebration of textures and colours.
