Standout dishes come from duck-led plates and comfort mains rather than a generic pub list. Confit Duck Wings, Tiny Duck Tacos, and Short Rib & Wild Mushroom Gnocchi give diners memorable anchors.

Princess Cafe earns its strongest food identity through paninis that feel specific to the room rather than generic cafe filler. The Yamwich, The Big Marc, and The Bee's Cheese give the menu clear signatures across vegetable-forward comfort, richer halloumi crunch, and a memorable sweet-savory grilled cheese.

Royal Butter Chicken gives Empress Of India a clear first-order anchor: rich, familiar, and built for naan or rice. The menu also backs that signature with tandoori dishes, dal, paneer, seafood, and Indo-Chinese plates, so the meal can branch out without losing the core order.

The house Lao sausage is specific enough to steer a first order: lemongrass, lime leaf, chili, Jeow Bong, and sticky rice make it more than a generic grill item.

The Salmon Bowl is the clearest first order, with a complete mix of fish, greens, avocado, corn, edamame, seaweed salad, spicy mayo, and house soy that explains the restaurant quickly.

Wonton Nachos give the menu its clearest share-plate hook. Ginger-braised pork belly, pineapple picante, pico de gallo, sriracha aioli and chive sour cream make it feel specific to this kitchen rather than a generic bar snack.

Salmon sashimi is the easiest starting point: it appears as a direct sashimi order, in salmon-only sets, and in value lunch formats, giving first-time visitors a clear route into the menu.
