What to Avoid (6)

Food 6

Clam starter Net −1

“I had pieces of shell in my clam starter, and the chciken rendang was nothing to write home about.”
Ikan bakar Net −1

“The Ikan bakar was also just okay that day - not authentic but I did enjoy the flavour. The second time I only ordered the Wagyu satay and the Ikan bakar. I have to say the Wagyu satay had to be one of the best beef satays I’ve ever had. The flavour was divine and the beef really was tender. It was a delight. However I was really disappointed with the Ikan bakar this time. The flavour of the sauce it self was okay but oh man the fish was so rubbery and difficult to cut through and it had a slightly fishy taste to it. Considering the price, it was quite a disappointment.”
Rendang bao Net −1

“The chicken satay and rendang bao were a real let down.”
Rojak Net −1

“However, the Rojak buah was not exactly what I expected - I understand that this restaurant isn’t necessarily authentic, but the dish didn’t really do much for me. This felt like a fruit salad/pickle versus rojak buah. I wish they played around more with the crispy texture/ sweeter flavours.”
Roti john Net −1

“The roti john, for instance, tastes entirely different from what you find in SG.”
Wagyu beef burger Net −1

“The wagyu beef burger was another letdown; it tasted very average, with the cheese slice resembling supermarket-quality processed cheese.”

The Bottom Line

Harummanis brings a contemporary take on Malay-Singaporean food to Jumeirah, with a menu that rewards sharing. The beef rendang and duck pancakes are the most dependable starting points in the reviews, while chicken or Wagyu satay, Lempeng Itik and dishes such as Ikan Pepes broaden the experience. Desserts have their own following: Sarang Semut, the Harummanis dessert and teh tarik ice cream are all singled out.

The setting is warm and Malay-inspired, and service is a major part of the meal. Staff are often described as attentive and knowledgeable, sometimes explaining the story behind each dish. Free-flow rice, including white, brown and nasi minyak, helps make a substantial meal, and one review found parking easy on the service road or through valet.

There are caveats. A few diners reported heat, fumes or air-conditioning problems, so it is worth checking before a summer lunch. Food can also be uneven: ikan bakar was praised by some but described elsewhere as rubbery, while one online order had small portions and watery, salty sambal.

The restaurant has no liquor licence, though medicinal drinks are available. Expect a modern interpretation rather than uniformly traditional Singaporean flavours; one diner found the roti john different and the overall food too sweet.
