I started having a weekly lunch outing with the husband of one of my wife's colleagues. We are both stay-at-home Dad's at this point. In past weeks, we went to sushi and Chinese. It was my turn to select the place this week and I was in mood for a true New York style deli sandwich. I searched online and came across the Seah Street Deli in the famous Raffles Hotel. The reviews sounded positive and it was an excuse to finally get to visit the Raffles Hotel so we went.
The atmosphere was nice and clean, but kind of cheesy. We were floored when we looked at the prices on the menu. The most absurd item was a $9 can of diet coke. They brought us the can of soda and a nice mason-type jar that was popular in the US in the early 1990's. We joked that the fancy glass explained the price. The sandwich prices were equally shocking- $28 for a rueben and coleslaw. Not even Mayor Bloomberg would pay that price.
All in all, given the prices you can skip eating here and you won't be missing much. Do walk through the hotel though.
