Quayside Fish Bar & Bistro Singapore

by / 4 comments

Quayside Fish Bar

There has always been a debate over the difference between farm-bred and wild-caught fishes. The former, while much more readily available and affordable, has a higher chance of being contaminated, hence more prone to getting disease. The latter live in their natural habitats out in the open waters, and is hence a lot healthier. We can go on and on about the benefits of wild-caught fishes, but we will leave that for another day. While I am always happy to order wild-caught fishes when I dine out, restaurants in Singapore hardly place an emphasis on it and hence stick to using conventional farm-bred ones.

Quayside Fish Bar Seafood Platter

This is why I am so happy to introduce Quayside Fish Bar & Bistro as it is really a heaven for seafood lovers. Located at the charming Quayside Isle at the luxurious Sentosa Cove enclave, Quayside Fish Bar & Bistro has daily fresh imports of wild-caught seafood and fish from different parts of the world.

Appetising starters include Hokkaido Scallops Crudo (S$19), freshly shucked oysters, and the beautifully-plated Torched Holloumi Cheese (S$18). The pastas (S$28) are too delicious to a fault, and nobody can resist the Baked Half Boston Lobster (S$54). But the highlight of the menu – and something that you must order – is the qsfb’s Fresh Seafood Platter (S$150).

Oktoberfest at Gravity Bar, Carlton Hotel Singapore

AdvertorialGravity Bar Carlton Hotel Singapore

Gravity Bar at Carlton Hotel Singapore is the kind of place that regulars would probably prefer to keep it as their secret hideout, and it is not difficult to see why. Not only does Gravity Bar has a superb and extremely convenient location, it also has live band playing music in the evenings. For those of you who are always on the lookout for nice bars with live music, note Gravity Bar down. The resident band plays live music from 7.15pm to 11.30pm from Mondays to Thursdays, and from 7.15pm to 12 midnight on Fridays, Saturdays and eve of Public Holidays. Speak about having the perfect spot at a centralised area to chill out with friends till late!

And because Oktoberfest is round the corner, I am sure beer lovers are getting all excited and mapping out drinking spots. Why not drop by with a bunch of pals to celebrate this annual German drinking event? If you need any more convincing, Gravity Bar has several promotions – a bottle of Erdinger Weissbier is going for S$15 (Usual price S$18), and the Erdinger Weissbier Set at S$60 which is inclusive of three bottles of Erdinger Weissbier and one mini platter of Bratwurst Sausage.

Oktoberfest aside, Happy Hour drinks are from opening to 8pm daily. It offers an extensive selection of single malt whiskies, wines, international cocktails and delectable finger food.

It is the combination of these collective parts: the atmosphere, the live band belting out live music to get you grooving, the central location, the happy hour promotions, the expertly mixed drinks that make Gravity Bar a place to go for a drink before heading to dinner, or to enjoy the evening while you catch up with your companions. With that, let’s cheers to this fantastic bar and its fantastic October promotions!

OSIM uInfinity

While we are only a few hours away from spa destinations like Bangkok and Bali, it is not possible to travel there on a regular basis. To enjoy a relaxing session in the comfort of your home, the new OSIM uInfinity Massage Chair (www.OSIM.com/uInfinity) is really the ideal solution for everyone.

The OSIM uInfinity Massage Chair is a revolutionary chair that offers an endless choice of massage pleasures. Not only is it extremely stylish and intelligently designed, it redefines comfort and brings massage chairs to a whole new high – the OSIM uInfinity can be fully reclined, and it feels akin to sitting on a Business Class seat. The massage itself? Certainly feels like having a real masseur exercising her skills on you.

Since getting the massage chair, I have been using it everyday to relieve the nasty knots in my back and shoulder. Here are 5 reasons why I love the OSIM uInfinity massage chair.

LÈ Restaurant & Bar Singapore

AdvertorialLÈ Restaurant & Asian Tapas Bar

Updated on 27 Apr 2014: LÈ Restaurant is no longer in operations.

Regulars will know that I am a huge fan of Paradise Group. It is really inspiring to see how a small Chinese seafood restaurant at Defu Lane has evolved and expanded to a restaurant empire within such a short span of time.

LÈ Restaurant & Bar at Suntec City is Paradise Group’s latest venture – and its biggest project till date, spanning over 10,000 square feet – consisting of a trendy bar, contemporary restaurant which faces the open kitchen, and eight classy private dining rooms. LÈ offers a complete dining experience where you can indulge in pre-dinner cocktails and tapas, before having a delectable dinner at the restaurant. After the meal, relax at the lounge over post-dinner digestifs till late.

LÈ Dirty Duck

If I were to sum up LÈ Restaurant & Bar in a paragraph, it would be this: polished and well-furnished interior decorations; attentive and genuine service from the eloquent and smartly-dressed staff; unconventional and ingeniously concocted cocktails at the swanky bar and lounge; tantalising modern and refined Chinese cuisine; stylish and sensuous music and lighting – LÈ takes pride in delivering even the tiniest details for an immaculate experience. It is very sexy and it makes you feel alive.

Here are some of the highlights of some of the signature dishes at LÈ Restaurant & Bar.

AdvertorialRWS Food Outing

As the annual RWS Food Affair is nearing (14 to 22 September 2013), the excitement builds up and everyone is looking forward to a week of feasting. Last weekend, a group of 25 readers and friends joined me at Resorts World Sentosa for a preview of some of the exclusive menus by the celebrity chefs, and it was a fulfilling day spent over good food and company at the dining destination of Singapore – Resorts World Sentosa.

If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen a few posts of the tantalising dishes we had. Check out the hash tag #rwsfoodaffair and you will see everyone else’s posts too. For more details about the RWS Food Affair, log on to www.rwsentosa.com/rwsfoodaffair.

Tangerine ESPA

We started off with a 3-course lunch at Tangerine; a cosy spa cafe nestled in the tranquil ESPA. Helmed by Chef Sam Leong, Tangerine boasts a healthy menu that emphasises a lot on eating whole foods with maximum nutrition without compromising on flavours and aesthetics. We had the honour to have had Chef Sam Leong himself and Chef Forest Leong – his wife and Consultant Chef at Tangerine – introduce the menu of the day to us all. With Chef Forest Leong being a Thai, we learned more about her choices of inculcating Thai flavours to the dishes at Tangerine. And with that, everyone was filled with anticipation for a great lunch ahead.

Also, read more to find out about the 5-course dinner menu – a combination of Forest, Osia, and Executive Pastry Chef Kenny Kong’s RWS Food Affair menus served during the 9 days - that we had at Forest.
