Aleeya is a Chinese restaurant at 2 Dickson Road in Little India, Singapore, holding a 4.8 rating on Google. Chinese kitchens in Singapore draw on several regional traditions — Cantonese, Hokkien, Teochew, Sichuan among them — so menus can differ widely from one shop to the next. The best sign of a good one is often a short list of dishes the kitchen cooks daily, rather than an encyclopaedic menu. Meals are built for sharing: a soup, a meat or fish, a vegetable and plenty of rice, with everyone reaching into the middle of the table. Wok hei — the smoky breath of a properly hot wok — is what separates memorable fried rice and noodles from the ordinary, so a stir-fry is the dish to order first. Tucked into Dickson Road amid Little India's spice shops and curry houses, Aleeya adds another thread to the neighbourhood's already rich mix.
