Stellar Wine Lust Sunday Brunch

French toast, smoked salmon benedict, sushi, salami, truffle pasta, slow roasted wagyu rump, roast duck, free flow of wines and sparkling, and a tasting table with more than 10 wine labels from around the world… Now, that is one brunch that is worth waking up to.

Stellar at 1-Altitude (www.1-altitude.com) has recently launched its new Wine Lust Sunday Brunch. Be spoilt with the enthralling selection of live stations plus specially crafted dishes that are served to the table, and dine at the highest vantage spot in Singapore with a million dollar view of the city’s skyline.

W Singapore Valentine’s Day Promotion at SKIRT

by / No Comments

Skirt W Singapore

Anytime is a good time for steaks, but SKIRT at W Singapore – Sentosa Cove is one chi-chi steakhouse that we prefer to reserve for dates with the discerning loved ones. And this is why this Valentine’s Day, there is nowhere better than romancing your date with an unforgettably lavish dinner at SKIRT. After all, you need a reliable outlet where the service is impeccable and professional, and SKIRT is ideal with its mix of elegance and chic factor.

This Valentine’s Day, SKIRT presents a 5-course dinner menu (S$350++ for 2) with a bottle of Auris Spumante Brut. Wake your palate up with a trio appetiser, the Titanic – starring the Tuna Tartar with avocado puree that is a brilliant blend of the fish’s freshness and the rich taste of the creamy fruit; luxurious chicken pate accompanied by fragrant homemade roasted chicken crackers; and cured halibut with grapefruit that is a refreshing juxtapose to the first two strong flavours. Quite a myriad of flavours and textures to begin the evening, indeed.

Skirt Steak Sandwich

Succeeding the trio is the Casablance that further pays homage to the ocean’s freshness – generous chunks of crab meat with tomato jelly and an apple sphere beautifully set in a martini glass. Moulin Rouge Champagne & Roses will take your breath away – seared scallop covered with champagne foam and rose petals. Nothing quite like celebrating the love in the air with a gorgeous dish like that. Every bite is pleasure to remember.

When Harry met Sally is when we indulge in a main course of Steak Sandwich – Black onyx sirloin with Marrow crumbs, tomato and onion puree. The meat is served medium, and the marrow and bread crumbs complemented the creaminess of the beef so well.

Last but certainly not least, show your date how intricately delicate and poignantly rich your love is via the dessert of 5 textures of chocolate. We really loved the chocolate ice-cream!

OCF Valentine's Day

Valentine’s Day is just a few weeks away, and we have sussed out two recent favourites for you to bring your date to.

At the second level of The Arts House, overlooking the Singapore River is modern French Restaurant Olivia Cassivelaun Fancourt (OCF). We like OCF because it is intimate, chic and sophisticated, and serves a superb and well-thought through meal using the freshest produce. On 14 & 15 Feb, OCF is offering a 4-course dinner (S$168++/person) with a glass of Pierre Paillard Grand Cru NV champagne. There will also be live music brought to you by talented artistes from Timbre Group playing your favourite love ballads throughout the dinner.

Start with a Maine lobster salad because you can never go wrong with the sweet crustacean. French Seabass with artichokes, oscietra caviar and vin jaune, wine made in the Jura region in France, succeeds the appetizer. The main course, Beef Tenderloin drizzled with bordelaise sauce and topped with foie gras, is the dream for all meat-lovers. Your sweet ending is the Valrhona Chocolate Royale with coffee crémeux and caramel ice cream.

Be the first 50 to secure your reservation at OCF by making a 20% deposit, and stand a chance to win a ‘Kate Spade Tudor City Lacey’ wallet (worth S$350), sponsored by Reebonz.com. Please refer to  OCF’s website for terms and conditions.

Now, that is a first.

Asher BWS: Online Store for Beer Wine & Spirits

Asher BWS Singapore

Food and wine is the best way to connect and meet new friends, and it is always fun to attend parties, private functions and events. Your best friend’s bachelor party, your family’s Christmas gathering or your company’s D&D event… no matter what the occasion is, if you are organising the party, we can fathom the hassle of buying all the alcohol and beverages. Oh, the horror of lugging home many cartons of beer and bottles of wine!

And if you are unfamiliar with the different kinds of alcohol, it can be rather intimidating to step in to a liquor store. Should you get a red or a white? A Riesling or a Chardonnay? The selection is overwhelming to say the least, and it is challenging to find something that suits everyone’s palate.

This is when Asher BWS (www.asherbws.com) is the perfect solution, as we have recently discovered. Besides offering the most comprehensive ranges of beer, wine and spirits products online, Asher BWS aims to educate and encourage the appreciation of alcoholic beverages among consumers, and at the same time, provide convenience by delivering the products to your doorstep.

Asher BWS

We had the privilege to attend Asher BWS’s soft launch part to learn more about the brand. In this post, we will share with you why we love Asher BWS, and why you should order your beers, wines and spirits from www.asherbws.com the next time you are host a party or need to look for a gift.

We are also giving away S$60 x 5 vouchers, read on to find out how you can win them.

Singapore Changi Airport

Chasing planes is always a thrill that adds on to the entire travel experience, and this was what we used to enjoy, until we got spoilt by Changi Airport and decided we all need a travel ritual to kickstart a true blue holiday.

No two airports are identical, and for that, Changi Airport is outstanding and amongst the best in the world. A holiday actually begins at Changi Airport, because our award-winning international airport has an enthralling list of offerings that makes it all worthwhile to check-in early so as to enjoy the facilities and amenities to its best.

Need to fill your tummy? The F&B options cater to different taste buds and time allowances. Whether you are rushing for a flight and need a quick take-out, or looking for a cosy diner to enjoy a meal with family and friends who are sending you off, there are plenty of options in both the public and transit areas.

Shopping at Changi Airport

And if you need to pick up duty-free items, the shopping is so irresistible that we strongly advise putting aside more time for some retail therapy. From perfumes and cosmetics, to books and electronics, you can find everything you need at Changi Airport.

Here is a guide to Changi Airport, featuring some of our favourite dining options, places to go, and things to see at the World’s best airport.
