...haute Indian restaurant Rang Mahal. "To call something fusion in Singapore is taboo," he says, "because people think it is bastardized food." Culinary faddists be warned: if Singapore's chefs are any indication, you'd best send back that salmon tikka pizza and get your nose out of the lemongrass lobster bisque...

Small pieces of beef are tangled with mint, three types of fresh chiles, scallions, lime juice and copious amounts of slivered lemongrass that add a tangy brightness to the meat.
