Asia’s Dining Destination – db Bistro Moderne

Asia's Dining Destination - db Modern Bistro- Marina Bay Sands (12)

I enjoyed my first dining destination as part of the Asia’s Dining Destination which saw us having dinner at db Bistro Moderne, helmed by Executive Chef Stephane Istel (Pictured above holding a slab of Kagoshima beef ready to be split and plated for our table).

 To be honest, my experience at db was perhaps the most enjoyable of the lot, so much so that when a close friend’s birthday came around, we both chose to have dinner at db (On our own expense, of course)  To dine at a restaurant twice in the short span of 2 weeks says quite a bit, I’ll say. I’ll blog about that particular dining experience shortly too! 

Osia – Resorts World Singapore

[Note from Glenn: I visited Osia sometime in May or June last year: For the pictorial, see http://www.hungryepicurean.com/2010/07/osia-at-resorts-world-sentosa-a-pictorial/]

Multi-award winning Australian restaurant, Osia, recently added another feather to its cap, clinching Best Dining Experience award at the Singapore Experience Awards 2011. Situated along the Festive Walk at Resorts World Sentosa, the 120-seater restaurant embodies the free-spirited nature of Australian dining and feel, with uncluttered interior bedecked in a neutral colour palette, creating a relaxing, laid-back and casual dining ambience.

The Da Paolo Ristorante, for instance, embodies both the pleasures of Italian gourmet and wine.  The branch at Holland Village exudes a relaxing ambience reminiscent of a tropical resort that provides for an ideal getaway from the bustling city where you will feel at ease.

Make Shake

 

MakeShake, the first customisable milkshake concept in Asia recently launched its flagship store at City Square Mall in October 2011.

Once you get down the escalator to the basement 2, MakeShake will immediately catch your attention. Its colourful façade with bold logos in shades of rainbow will prepare you for the jovial treats coming ahead.

At MakeShake, you can customise your own milkshake with a variety of Shake-Ins and flavours to choose from, blended with a homemade reduced sugar malted vanilla ice-cream –the less sweet ice cream will appeal to the health conscious. For those with a sweeter tooth, go all out with the add-ons.
