Sky on 57 – Lunar New Year Luncheon with Kagoshima

January 22, 2012 / Glenn Lee / 5 comments

Christmas came and went, then New Year’s arrived with a bang. Before we realize it, Chinese New Year is just on the horizon. To all my readers and friends celebrating the festivities, here’s wishing all of us a bountiful new year ahead!

I was invited to the press luncheon of the launch of the Lunar New Year Luncheon Menu at Sky on 57 last Monday however as I was in Hong Kong over the weekend, I was not able to attend. From what I see on the blog posts of some of the bloggers who attended the luncheon, it was quite the event with Kagoshima Governor Yuichiro Ito gracing the luncheon. Chef Justin Quek and his restaurant, Sky on 57, was accorded a Certification of Recommendation from the governor himself. The Certificate of Recommendation is an affirmation that the dining establishment is serving up worthy ingredients from Kagoshima.

However, all was not lost, for I tried the Lunar New Year Luncheon menu last Friday. Of course, it was good that work ended early and that Marina Bay Sands was a mere 5 minute taxi ride away. Read more

Our Korner – Scarlet Hotel

January 9, 2012 / Glenn Lee / No comments

What used to be Desire is now Our Korner. But, I’m not complaining! Located in the boutique hotel, The Scarlet, near Ann Siang Road in Chinatown, gone is the fine dining atmosphere of Desire and has been replaced with a more contemporary bistro appearence.

The menu offers mainly comfort food with the usual favourites as well as dishes with a local flavour infused in them such as laksa clam chowder, chili crab sliders, curry-chicken pizza and a dessert with Horlicks ice-cream.

To get the ball rolling, we had the Laksa Clam Chowder. Both of us tried it and to be honest, it tasted really good. It was raining that evening; So, the chowder was perfect!

The laksa chowder was more flavoursome than spicy per-se, so it should suit most taste buds. Read more

Perth: C Restaurant in the Sky

September 10, 2011 / Glenn Lee / 2 comments

One of the to-go restaurants in Perth is The C Restaurant in the Sky on St. Georges Terrace.

If it’s not for the food, go for the view! It”s not picturesque in any dictionary, but still, it’s a view.

Well, you see – It provides one a 365 degree look of Perth city(It’s a revolving restaurant ala Prima Restaurant). The view, is quite good too – considering that much of Perth is low rise and thus being perched on the 33rd storey of an office building does have it perks. Read more

Marina Bay Sands Dining Experience – Bazin

August 9, 2011 / Chu Yang / No comments

Forenote: C.Y., my guest blogger, dined here as a guest of Bazin.

Bazin is a swanky new restaurant that opened in the Marina Bay Sands Waterfront Bar area. Overlooking Boat Quay, Raffles and Esplanade, this area spots one of the best views for dining in both day and night. Marina Bay Sands Waterfront Bar has 5 F&B outlets, all with their own uniqueness.

Bazin serves an Euro-Oriental menu with special creations like Thai Green Curry Pizza and Seafood Wasabi Pizza (which I tried and I loved), an extensive list of bar snacks and also long lists of liqueurs, liquors, cocktails, beer and wine. The ambience is best defined as contemporary with a touch of European quaintness to its decor. It is also one of the places to view the nightly light and water show – Wonder Full. Read more
