Tucked away in the palatial JW Marriott Singapore South Beach is Beach Road Kitchen, a modern all-day dining establishment that aims to take diners on an epic, gastronomic journey.

Beach Road Kitchen was built in honour of the old Beach Road Market that first started out in 1873. Staying true to its roots, the place has never stopped believing in the importance of fresh produce and quality food, which is an ideology that the folks here at Beach Road Kitchen firmly believe in.

From indulgent brunch classics such as Eggs Benedict to spiced up local delights such as Lobster Laksa, this lavish brunch buffet is an epicurean feast that will be the highlight of your Sunday. There is no better way to spend a lazy day than at a sumptuous Sunday Brunch at Beach Road Kitchen.

It’s S$168++ per adult for the champagne brunch which comes with free-flow champagne, wine and beer.

On top of that, quote ladyironchef upon making your reservation to enjoy 50% OFF every second diner (terms and conditions apply) for the Sunday brunch at Beach Road Kitchen from now until 30th Dec 2019.

LOBSTER THERMIDOR AND BAKED OYSTERS

An opulent treat that you definitely should indulge yourself in is the free-flow Lobster Thermidor.

For the uninitiated, the Lobster Thermidor has its roots in France and consists of a mixture of chunks of lobster meat, egg yolks, brandy and mushrooms that are stuffed into a lobster shell, drizzled with cheese and baked to perfection.

The result is a decadently creamy ensemble packed with a medley of varying textures and flavours — the sweetness and chewiness of the lobster, the mild acidity of the brandy and the saltiness of the cheese — all come together to create a flavour bomb that will leave you gobsmacked and hankering for more.

Another must-try treat is the Baked Oysters which features briny oysters that are generously slathered in a thick layer of mash potato and then baked to a lovely golden brown. We could easily down a dozen of these!

SEAFOOD ROOM

Seafood enthusiasts, nothing can prepare you for Beach Road Kitchen’s iconic Seafood Room. This clean and white temperature-controlled alcove houses a tantalising selection of fresh seafood which includes the likes of smoked fish, sashimi and seafood on ice.

If you’re craving for some freshly-shucked oysters, you can help yourself to unlimited oysters sourced from Northern and Western France.

EGGS BENEDICT 

What is a Sunday brunch without some runny Eggs Benedicts? Eggs Benedicts are a staple of any brunch session; you can’t go wrong with a winning combination of toasted English muffins and perfectly poached eggs draped in a generous coating of hollandaise sauce.

Beach Road Kitchen has 3 variations that comes garnished with either spinach, bacon or smoked salmon. Break into the egg and watch the yolk sensually ooze out.

WHOLE ROASTED LAMB LEG 

Carnivores will be excited to chow down on this bad boy.

A whole roasted leg of lamb awaits you at Beach Road Kitchen’s Sunday Brunch and it is hard to simply walk past this massive hunk of meat. Get one of their friendly staff to help carve you a rack or two; it is quite a feat to have to tackle it all on your own.

It is undoubtedly hard to cook such a gargantuan block of meat thoroughly, but the chefs here did a phenomenal job. The lamb was incredibly tender and had a decent meat-to-fat ratio which gave every mouthful a nice, succulent bite.

CHARCOAL GRILL

A highlight of all Beach Road Kitchen’s buffet spreads is their Charcoal Grill, where diners get to select their cuts of meat and seafood and have them grilled à la minute. Look forward to a premium meat selection filled with options such as Asian Marinated Iberico Pork and Tomahawk Beef.

PIZZA FROM THE WOOD FIRED OVEN 

Standing right smack in the middle of the restaurant is the restaurant’s very own wood-fired oven that makes some of the most drool-worthy pizza out there.

Their Signature Truffle Mushroom Pizza comes highly recommended and it is coated in a copious amount of truffle oil, stracchino cheese and mushrooms.

Do try to get your hands on this slice of heaven when it comes fresh and hot out of the oven so that you can enjoy it at its peak. The edges of the pizza have a lovely char that adds texture to the chewiness of the pizza base. This is further enhanced by the glorious mess of melted cheese and truffle oil that provides the pizza with an earthy, garlicky flavour that is incredibly addictive.

CHILLI CRAB AND LOCAL SPECIALITIES

For something a little more close to home, pop by their Local Specialities station for an appetising array of Singaporean favourites. Diners get to savour classics such as Signature Chicken Rice, Crispy Pork Belly and Roast Meat.

Crustacean aficionados will also be glad to know that the buffet lineup will include the holy grail of all local seafood dishes: chilli crab. Break open those bright red pincers and tuck straight into the sweet, plump flesh that lies beneath. Don’t forget to soak up all that ambrosial chilli gravy with the deep-fried man tou!

NOODLE BAR WITH LOBSTER LAKSA 

For more live-action, head on over to The Noodle Bar where you can get yourself a hearty bowl of Asian-style noodles of your choice. We love their Laksa broth which features a rich sweet and spicy broth that hits all the right notes. You also get to dazzle up your bowl of laksa by choosing your own ingredients and noodles that are displayed neatly next to the noodle station.

An open secret is that you can pick out a lobster (or two!) from the neighbouring Seafood Room, pass it to the chef and have him cook you a sinfully good bowl of Lobster Laksa. Definitely not something you can do at most places!

CHEESE AND CHARCUTERIE 

Beach Road Kitchen takes immense pride in their Cheese and Charcuterie selection which is switched up daily. Their impressive range of cheeses will make any cheese fanatic’s heart palpitate and you can expect flavours such as Blue Cheese, Taleggio, Brie, Camembert and Savarin.

You can also pair the cheeses with some of their cold cuts that come from different regions across Europe.

CHILDREN’S CORNER 

If your little ones are fussy eaters, fret not as the buffet line has a Children’s Corner that is packed with child-friendly options such as beef sliders, chicken nuggets and pasta. There is also a children’s play area set up in a corner of the restaurant for fidgety kids who won’t stay still.

THE BAR

Don’t worry, adults, we haven’t forgotten about you! If you want a glass of bubbly to celebrate the weekends, march on over to The Bar for some drinks. You can also top up S$70++ and enjoy free-flow champagne, wine, cocktails, beer and juices.

SWEET SHOP 

Don’t stuff your face at all the other stations and forget about the dessert section. Combat all the savouriness with some sweetness at Beach Road Kitchen’s Sweet Shop, where you can feast your eyes and tastebuds on their extensive dessert display with sweets such as cakes, macaroons as well as nostalgic snacks and sweets from the heydays.

Diners can also have some fun with the chocolate fountain which dispenses a mesmerising waterfall of milk chocolate for you to dip fruits and marshmallows in.

LIVE MUSIC AND BALLOON SCULPTING 

To add to the mood, there will be live music for you to enjoy while you gorge yourself silly on all that food. There will also be a balloon sculptor for the kids who will be going around making balloons for everyone. Adults, don’t shy away if you secretly want a balloon; you can ask for one too!

Sunday brunch just got kicked up a notch with Hilton Singapore’s newly revamped Champagne buffet brunch special. We are telling you that this is easily among the best champagne brunches in Singapore, for the spread features only the most premium of ingredients at reasonable prices.

You bet we were awed by the array of fresh seafood, premium Australian meat cuts, gourmet European delicatessen and more. To say we were enticed by the sheer spread is an understatement. Very often, champagne brunches come with an exorbitant price tag, and for those who do not drink, paying the premium just does not make sense.

And it does not happen here at Hilton Singapore. There is an option for those who prefer to indulge in only the food at S$88++/pax, and there are two options for those who want to luxuriate further with sparkling wine, red and white wines, and champagne.

Readers of ladyironchef will be entitled to S$50 off Hilton Singapore’s Sunday brunch with a minimum of two paying adults. More details at the end of this post. Meanwhile, here are the highlights of Hilton Singapore’s Sunday Champagne Brunch.

WELCOME DRINK, SERVED TABLE-SIDE

But of course, a warm welcome first!

Alright, not really warm, but hey, we are talking about a complimentary Bloody Mary that is served table-side as a welcome drink. This pleasantly savoury drink is the perfect way to kick-start your meal here at Hilton Singapore. Think about how much a cocktail would typically cost, and you would know that you are beginning your meal with value already.

GREAT APPETISERS TO START THE BUFFET

Appetisers range from a fantastic Smorgasbord station to adorably plated small dishes. The latter really impressed us with the intricate plating, coupled with the use of premium ingredients.

Our picks are Alaskan Crab Meat with Mango Jelly, Tiger Prawn with Green Mango, Tuna Tartare with Avocado Mousse, Seafood Ceviche with Spicy Dressing and more. These spherical beauties sure whet our appetites with the freshness and clean tastes.

Not photographed here but another one you would enjoy is the gazpacho. We love our soups hot, but for gazpachos, anything goes. That refreshing, chilled tomato soup by Hilton Singapore tastes so close to the ones we’ve had in Spain.

The Smorgasbord section here is a little different – in a very good way, of course. The charcuterie will be thinly-sliced for you at the station itself, with care and precision. The meats that are included in this section range from imported whole leg of Iberico ham to Saucisson sec cured meat.

A good range of olives and pates are also available to complement the cured meats. We don’t know about you, but olives always get us all excited. There are pitted and stuffed ones here, and the chefs will gladly explain their region and preservation methods.

THE FRESHEST SEAFOOD – OYSTERS, MAINE LOBSTERS, SCALLOPS

Now, we have arrived at the truly good part and everyone’s favourite – seafood! What’s not to love about fresh premium seafood, especially when you can have them free flow? Get ready, because the spread will make your eyes pop!

Think freshly shucked oysters (3 varieties), fleshy Maine lobsters, yabbies (a type of crayfish), half-shell scallops and more.

Can we just say how much we love the oysters in particular? Most brunches or buffet spreads only serve one type of oysters, but Hilton Singapore will offer you three – the ever popular Fine de Claire, succulent Irish oysters and Pacific Oysters.

The seafood is also served alongside fresh sashimi and a sushi selection.

A LA MINUTE SELECTION

One of the reasons why we were immensely impressed by the selections here at Hilton Singapore is the a la minute selection.

The residential dish is Scotch Egg with Truffle Hollandaise Sauce. Scotch Eggs are extremely hard make, even more so to perfect it. Here at the champagne brunch, have it unlimited – all you want. The perfect runny yolk is encased in tasty and well-seasoned meat, then drizzled with fragrant black truffle hollandaise sauce.

Another a la minute dish that is also included in the brunch line-up is the egg cocotte. So hearty, so warm and the addition of savoury meats made the dish a lot more dimensional.

Well, foie gras lovers would be elated to know that pan-seared foie gras is also part of the a la minute selection – unlimited. Hilton Singapore’s version is served with an apple and passion fruit compote, and the sweet-and-sour mixture cuts through the creaminess of the piece of liver so beautifully.

INTERNATIONAL COOKED DISHES

Pizzas, Asian dishes and even beef pho? They will have you covered in this section. Grab either a Seafood or Mushrooms & Anchovies pizza. And if you want something creamy and comforting, go for the Seafood Fricasse with Bisque & Parmesan. The Pan-Fried Chilean Sea Bass with Orange & Fennel Compote sounds boring, but the sweet compote brought out the freshness of the sea bass so well, you’ll love the combination.

For the Asian dishes, dim sum is a must and Hilton Singapore offers both Custard Bun and Braised Pork Ribs, alongside wok-fried dishes such as Stir-Fried Garlic Prawns with Cilantro and Kam Heong Style Crab; bursting with flavours and wok hei, this might be where your grandparents would camp at if they prefer only Asian food.

MEATS, MEATS AND MORE MEATS

If you love  quality meat selection, you will be glad to know that Hilton Singapore’s brunch includes popular meats such as Premium Flank Steak, Lamb Chop and even Tenderloin. All cooked on an open flame charcoal grill, to your preferred doneness with a much loved smoky flavour.

ROAST MEATS 

If you like your meat roasted, fret not; like we said, there is something for everybody.

Think Herb-Roasted Baby Chicken, US Prime Rib and Roasted Pork Rack. Despite being pre-cooked roasts, the meats were not dry and we enjoyed the seasoning of herbs, salt and pepper.

AMAZING SELECTION OF CHEESES

We have never experienced a fuller cheese spread than the one here at Hilton Singapore. A selection of more than 20 cheeses are available on the cheese board, and boy were we spoilt for choice.

Any cheese lover will go gaga over this spread that includes premium selections – Parmigiano Reggano, Fromage Du Maquis, Lavort, Comte, Bleu D’Auvergene and even Persille Du Beaujolais.

… AND A BIGGER RANGE OF DECADENT DESSERTS

Our eyes lit up and our jaws dropped. Nothing screams a good dessert spread like the one at Hilton Singapore. It is literally a dessert shrine! They have even incorporated cool molecular gastronomy techniques into a blueberry meringue dessert that tasted nothing short of amazing.

Cakes are in abundance too – Chocolate Passion, Ivory Coffee, Cassis Caramel, Rainbow Cake and Red Velvet Mascarpone; quite basically a cake for any preference.

Individually-plated desserts include crème brûlée, Orange Chocolate Hazelnut, Red Wine Poached Pear with Chantilly and our favourite one – a glass cup of Sake, Cassis and Butter Sponge that had all the right flavours and textures.

FREE-FLOW CHAMPAGNE!!!

Well, of course, drink to your heart’s content if you get the champagne option. Prep yourselves; you will be treated to free flow of house pours, sparkling wine and beers. That’s some massive weekend there, huh?

Prices:
S$88++ – brunch buffet only.
S$108++ – brunch buffet and free-flow sparkling wine, selected white and red wines and beer.
S$138++ – brunch buffet and free-flow of Louis Roederer champagne, selected white and red wines and beer.

Introducing the coolest Sunday champagne brunch in Singapore… The Brunch Beats (S$158++/pax) at Seasonal Tastes, The Westin Singapore. With Dutch DJ Lindo Martinez spinning cosmopolitan tunes and deep house grooves, indulge in an amazing spread with free flow of Veuve Clicquot champagne, wines, beers, and cocktails. Spend your Sundays in an unparalleled gourmet world – from daily bakes, to salad assortments, to the freshest catch from the ocean, to roasts and vegetables… we just wish we had the stomach to try everything. So, go with an empty stomach – and we mean it.

Seasonal Tastes’ culinary and service team all work with a uniform passion – a passion to serve their best to you. The chef always listens to his guests, and is always improving on the spread to best pamper everyone’s palate.

At S$42++ for lunch buffet, it is quite an unbeatable price. To add to that, the spread is extremely satisfying, and we could really eat to our hearts’ content without busting our budgets. Dinner buffet is priced at S$62++ – an amazing spread that is unrivalled and definitely among the most affordable hotel buffet dinners. You get to indulge in your array of seafood (seafood lovers have to go on Fridays because that is Seafood Night S$75++) and free-flow of roasts and sushi, while you unwind and enjoy your evening with the company of an unobstructed view of the Marina.

And if you do not mind the splurge, how about treating yourself to The Brunch Beats at Seasonal Tastes? Easily one of the bests in town, and for one, if you have ever been to heaven, this is twice as nice.

Here are 10 things we love about The Brunch Beats at Seasonal Tastes, The Westin Singapore.

A WHOLE SUCKLING PIG

You have no idea how excited we were to see suckling pig among the offerings. At The Brunch Beats, the chefs will prepare four suckling pigs for the champagne brunch, so you can rest assure that there will be more than enough to go around. And you can have any amount you want!

THE HEAVENLY DESSERT SHRINE

Love at first sight. Once you step into Seasonal Tastes, you will be greeted by the shrine. The Westin is known for its Heavenly Spa and Heavenly bed, but we have something else to add to the list – the Heavenly Dessert Shrine at Seasonal Tastes.

The dessert buffet is among the most impressive in town, and the pastry chefs always go all out to wow us – every single time. The options change all the time; look forward to beautiful creations like the citrus lemon cake, raisin cinnamon cheesecake, rainbow cake, the exceptional spiced carrot cake and the dazzling matcha chocolate fondue. Also, the homemade gelato is noteworthy. The dark chocolate and raspberry are excellent, but we always end off our meal with two scoops of our favourite avocado and tiramisu.

FREE FLOW OF VEUVE CLICQUOT CHAMPAGNE

This is pretty self-explanatory. Free flow of Veuve Clicquot champagne – this is quite the paradise for champagne lovers.

A SELECTION OF COCKTAILS, BEERS, AND WINES

Not to worry even if you are not a big fan of champagne. The Brunch Beats has quite a selection of beers, red and white wines, as well as cocktails like mojito, margarita and bloody Mary. Dress up for Champagne brunch, pick your poison, and behave yourself.

LIVE MUSIC BY DUTCH DJ LINDO MARTINEZ

The cosmopolitan tunes and deep house grooves by DJ Lindo make a huge difference, and his passionate spinning penchants the whole restaurant with a positive and energetic vibe.

VIEW OVERLOOKING SINGAPORE’S SOUTHERN COAST

What we appreciate is the view that overlooks Singapore’s southern coast. It makes us wonder what Singapore will look like in ten years’ time, and gives us the space to slow down and enjoy life with a champagne flute in hand.

FOR A TASTE OF OCEAN

Mussels, scallops, prawns, lobsters, king crab legs, and freshly shucked oysters… Our hearts skipped a beat, and we could not help but gush about the glorious seafood selection at The Brunch Beats, which offers a lot more seafood than its usual lunch and dinner buffets.

SUSHI AND SASHIMI GALORE

Intricate, luxurious, satisfying, elegant… Japanese food is always a good idea. The Brunch Beats has an assortment of gunkan, nigiri and maki which will make you go crazy. But we would say go easy on the sushi and save room for the other stuff. On display here are also various kinds of salmon – smoked salmon, coffee cured salmon, and Thai style salmon.

THE MEAT STATION WITH RIBEYE, TENDERLOIN AND SAUSAGES

There is also a meat station where you can get ribeye, tenderloin and a selection of sausages cooked ala minute on the grill. Tell the chef your preference for the meat, and he will prepare it on the spot. Rejoice, all carnivores!

THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW TO LOOK OUT FOR

Like what we have mentioned in our previous feature on Seasonal Tastes, the food menu at Seasonal Tastes is always rotating to keep things fresh and interesting. Some days, Thai food takes the center stage, and guests will be treated to an array of Thai dishes on the buffet line. Whenever seasons call for it, the Indian and Chinese chefs would take over and showcase the bests of their ethnic dishes.

Among all the champagne brunches that we have been to in Singapore – and we have been to almost all of them – The Westin Singapore’s The Brunch Beats easily comes up top. The marriage of an impressionable buffet spread and a splendiferous view is a winning formula; together with the upbeat music by DJ Lindo, and a dedicated team that is ever passionate to serve you the best, a splurge at Seasonal Tastes’ The Brunch Beats is quite the perfect note to your Sundays.

The Westin Singapore presents The Brunch Beats at Seasonal Tastes every sunday from 12pm – 3pm, at S$158++/pax. Reservations are required, call +65 6922 6968 or email seasonaltastes.singapore@westin.com
