White Rose Cafe: Penang Hawkers’ Fare

December 19, 2016 by Bino Leave a Comment

The hugely popular Penang Hawker’s Fare is back at White Rose Café with 12 hawkers specially handpicked by York Hotel to fly into Singapore to whip up perennial favorites such as Char Kway Teow, Penang Laksa, Cuttlefish Kang Kong and Ban Chang Kueh. This is also the 30th anniversary of the Penang Hawker’s Fare so diners can expect a few extras for this particular round.

The Penang hawkers will be in York Hotel for slightly over two weeks which makes it pretty convenient if you’re in the Orchard area to do some Christmas shopping. I was invited for a media tasting during the first day of the buffet and was pleasantly surprised to find the dining hall already brimming with people. As with previous years, the buffet stations are arranged by dish. You can eat as much as you like during the duration of the meal but do note that you can get up to two plates each time you queue.

One Ninety at Four Seasons Singapore – Market Fresh Semi-Buffet

December 17, 2016 by Bino Leave a Comment

One Ninety, the all-day dining restaurant in Four Seasons Singapore, has recently revamped its famous Market Fresh semi-buffet by including around 30 main dishes that can be ordered ala minute alongside a buffet spread featuring a myriad of appetizers and desserts. Recently, I had the opportunity to check out the venue for the very first time and I must say I was impressed.

Man Ho in Marriott Manila – Fine Cantonese Cuisine at the New West Wing

December 8, 2016 by Bino Leave a Comment

After coming back from Hong Kong, I found myself craving for some Roast Goose. It occurred to me that even with the abundance of Chinese restaurants in our country, satisfying my Roast Goose hunger was not exactly an easy task. It all changed when I saw that Man Ho was opening in the new Marriott West Wing.

Man Ho (萬豪) is the literal Chinese translation for Marriott. Bringing the flavors of Man Ho in Manila is none other than Chef Chef Law Wui Wing, a Hong Kong native who has been cooking since he was 15. He has been an executive Chinese chef in several of Marriott’s signature restaurants in China (the Man Ho in JW Marriott Hotel in Shanghai, the Pearl Restaurant in Beijing Marriott Hotel City Wall and the Four Seasons Restaurant in Marriott China Hotel in Guangzhou). He also spent time in Japan which can be seen in some of the Japanese inspired Cantonese dishes. Chef Law assures us that there is no MSG in the food he serves. He prides himself in the best ingredients, which is why he imports only from the best places if it cannot be found here in Manila (an example would be the signature Roast Goose). A fan of casual conversations with guests, he makes sure that they are happy so that he can be happy in return. He prides himself in the quality and being honest in the food he serves.

Artemis Bar & Grill – Refreshing Mediterranean Dining in Singapore’s CBD

December 4, 2016 by Bino Leave a Comment

Not long ago, I wrote about my experience in Artemis Bar & Grill in CapitaGreen – one of the most atmospheric rooftop bars in Singapore. Aside from the myriad of cocktails that they had on offer, I found their bar bites to be quite memorable (I still have fond memories of that Wagyu Hanger Steak!). My experience then was more or less limited to the open-air bar area but I did remember that the venue also came with an elegant dining hall which catered to the well-heeled executives of Raffles Place.

You can check out my previous experience at Artemis Bar & Grill here.

Cassia at Capella Singapore: Weekend Dimsum Brunch

November 6, 2016 by Bino Leave a Comment

I have written before that the Capella Singapore is my favorite resort in the country. I love the quiet and relaxing feeling I get each time I come here. It is by no means the most secluded among the accommodation options in Sentosa but its low-density setup certainly creates an exclusive air.

Pete’s Place at Grand Hyatt Singapore Food Review

November 4, 2016 by Bino Leave a Comment

If you recall my post a few weeks back, Pete’s Place, the Italian restaurant at Grand Hyatt Singapore, recently introduced a new chef – Cataldo Chiloiro. He brings with him a new menu showcasing influences from Puglia where he hails from. I recently visited Pete’s Place as I had heard so many good things about the restaurant. The F&B offerings at Grand Hyatt Singapore never disappointed before so it was only a logical step to check out their Italian restaurant.

Wan Hao at Marriott Singapore Tang Plaza – New Look and Menu

November 1, 2016 by Bino Leave a Comment

Wan Hao at Marriott Singapore Tang Plaza has always been one of my go-to Chinese restaurants in the Orchard area. The food is delicious and value-for-money considering its 5-star hotel setting, especially when using their 1-for-1 tie up with the Entertainer app. The restaurant unveiled a new look recently after undergoing refurbishment for the past few months. The new façade is elegant and refined, especially with the “House of a Chinese Scholar” theme now permeating the four walls of the venue. I recently dropped by Wan Hao for a media tasting as the new look also coincided with some changes in the menu. While old-time favourites such as the Crispy Fried Chicken are still very much part of the offering, diners now get to relish in creations such as black truffle dumplings and stewed bird’s nest with a separate soup. During the tasting session, I managed to try quite a few of the dishes from the new menu.
