Estuary is a new seafood restaurant & oyster bar by ex-radio DJ and restaurateur, Daniel Ong who is behind Dan’s Steak, Chef Polo Seah (the Ex-Group Executive Chef of Jigger and Pony Group), and Chef Gary Lian.

The new pescatarian restaurant has opened at Palais Renaissance in Orchard Road on 28 May 2022.

Estuary’s kitchen will be helmed by Chef Polo Seah, who is listed as the ex-Group Executive Chef of Jigger and Pony Group by Estuary and he was previously in charge of several popular restaurants under the Jigger and Pony Group including Humpback, Sugarhall, Live twice, Gibson & Caffe Fernet.

Chef Gary Lian, previously Ex-Chef de Cuisine for Sugarhall and Caffe Fernet, will be joining Chef Polo Seah in the kitchen.

Estuary specialises in seafood, oysters, grilled vegetables as well as a curation of wines, cocktails and local craft beers.

They have a fantastic Happy Hour promotion from 4.30pm – 7pm where you can enjoy live oysters at S$3 each and wines and beers at S$10. Estuary has 4-5 kinds of oysters available every day and some of the options include Coromandel (New Zealand), Coffin Bay (Australia), Geay La Friandise (France) and David Hervé Royale (France).

Other than seafood and oysters, Estuary delicates a section of the menu for its garden greens. They are working with local hydroponic farms to source for the freshest vegetables—grown in mineralised water instead of soil.

The Hispi Cabbage (S$15) didn’t look like much but it was truly outstanding. We never knew cabbage could taste like this and the accompanying rosemary cheese sauce was so good.

The Crispy Sebago Potato (S$16) featured layers with potatoes deep-fried to a beautiful shade of golden brown and paired with a super addictive anchovy aioli.

The Dungeness Crab Kataifi (S$18) was quite possibly our favourite item out of the many dishes that we tried. It came with huge chunks of crab meat stuffed in a pastry and served with Kano Miso sauce. It is definitely a must-order dish when you are dining at Estuary. Pro tip: ask for extra Kano Miso sauce to go along with the crab meat.

Another dish that you must not miss is the Tua Tua Clams (S$24)—huge and huicy clams served with roasted Jerusalem artichokes.

Estuary has a dry-aging cabinet on-site to dry-age Farmed Turbot, Murray Cod, Barramundi, Scottish Salmon and Hamachi.

We had the Scottish Salmon and Hamachi and both were absolutely delicious. Nothing too fancy, just simple and hearty dishes that were superbly cooked.

The Sarawak Bario Claypot Rice (S$35) was the highlight of our dinner. The claypot rice featured 4 types of aged fish including salmon, barradmundi, hamachi and tuna. And the Chao Tah rice was topped with uni and ikura. This was the bomb and easily one of the best claypor rice that we’ve ever had.

We ended off our dinner with Fresh Medjoul Date Pudding (S$14) with freshly roasted pecans and crème fraîche ice cream. If you love sticky date pudding, you will love Estuary’s rendition.

It goes without saying that Estuary is our new favourite seafood & oyster restaurant in Singapore. Come here for a great seafood meal without breaking the bank.

Promising a seasonal spread of festive meats and treats along with a bevvy of authentic local and Asian delights thrown into the mix, Spice Brasserie at PARKROYAL on Kitchener Road ranks high as one of our top venues of choice to indulge in a full-on feast this festive holiday.

Pulling out all the stops and ready to tantalise the senses (especially our taste buds) on all fronts, the culinary team behind Spice Brasserie impresses with their selection of colossal roasts featuring the likes of the all-new Peranakan-Style Roasted Spice Cured Turkey that wowed us with its succulent meat and its heady aroma of Nonya spices.

As far as drool-inducing food goes, they’ve nailed down their various festive roast meat offerings, but if you’re pining for something to satiate your sweet tooth, then you will not be disappointed with their Sea Salt Caramel Log Cake. But seasonal dishes aside, be sure to tuck into their various Asian and international items as well, not forgetting their selection of crab dishes—a mainstay and what Spice Brasserie is classically known for.

This festive feast will be going on from 17 December 2018 to 1 January 2019 and diners can quote ‘ladyironchef’ upon making reservations to enjoy 20% off both the lunch and dinner festive buffets.

PERANAKAN-STYLE ROASTED SPICE-CURED TURKEY

A brand-new addition to this year’s lineup of festive delights and one that’s worthy of a second round is their Peranakan-Style Roasted Spice-Cured Turkey. Specially created by Malacca-born Baba Chef Jimmy Bong, this unique rendition makes use of simple everyday spices and aromatics such as cinnamon, chilli, lemongrass and more, all working together to give the dish a vibrant appeal.

The meat was tender, robust and paired very coherently with the flavourful curry gravy—in place of the classic giblet sauce—that comes served along with it. Complex, hearty and full of flavour, the curry gravy is crucial for maximum enjoyment.

ROASTED BRINED TURKEY WITH CHESTNUT STUFFING, SNAIL SAUSAGE & PORCINI GIBLET SAUCE (DINNER BUFFET)

Not wanting to be restricted by the common notion of what a classic turkey should have, Chef Jimmy, takes it up a notch with his Roasted Brined Turkey with Chestnut Stuffing, Snail Sausage & Porcini Giblet Sauce, that sees a marriage of flavours and textures coming together to complement one another.

An element of umami is imbued into the sauce through the addition of porcini mushrooms that do well to elevate the overall dish, but unlike the many roast turkeys that we’ve tried, this version was fully capable of tasting delicious sans the sauce.

Boasting a crisp layer of perfectly seasoned skin and tender, succulent meat, this version easily trumps the conventional roast turkey and is something that warrants multiple trips to the live carving station.

HONEY BAKED HAM WITH PINEAPPLE RAISIN SAUCE

A quintessential component of any Yuletide feast is a honey-baked ham. Period.

Studded with whole cloves and given multiple bastes of sweet, sticky honey, the Honey Baked Ham with Pineapple Raisin Sauce hits the spot with its deep smokey, subtly-spiced appeal, coupled with a sweet fruity undertone.

A showstopper in its own right, the ham was easy to gobble down as it was soft, tender and enriched with a sweet, fruity bouquet that balanced out its saltiness well. The pineapple glaze sauce gives the ham sweetness but also a good amount of acidity that gives the dish balance.

AVAILABLE FOR DINNER BUFFET ONLY 

ROAST PORK WITH ROCKET, PINE NUT, FETA STUFFING & APPLE JAM

Charming our palates with its combination of unctuous flavours and textures, the Roast Pork with Rocket, Pine Nut, Feta Stuffing & Apple Jam was easily our favourite of the entire spread.

This mouth-watering Goliath of a pork delight sees an entire belly of pork, stuffed with salty feta cheese, peppery rocket and earthy pine nuts, before undergoing a slow, roast.

The result? Crackling that is literally to-die-for, succulent (and sweet) pork and a medley of flavour sensations that tantalised and teased our taste buds. This, if anything, is something worth shouting about—and don’t even get us started on how heavenly it was when paired with their house-made apple jam.

BAKED CRAYFISH WITH SALTED EGG MAYONNAISE

Grilled over charcoal to develop a charred, smoky taste before being generously slathered with a dollop of their homemade salted egg mayo, we can imagine the Baked Crayfish with Salted Egg Mayonnaise to be a surefire hit among both fans of barbecued seafood and of salted egg alike.

Boasting a heady aroma of curry leaves, accented with its signature savoury-sweet qualities, the salted egg mayo was viscous yet not cloying at all. It did well to enhance the naturally sweet flavours of the crayfish and provided a blanket of creaminess to balance out the bittersweet charred element.

BAKED OYSTER TRIO

This baked oyster trio is anything but simple. Designed to enhance the briny qualities of the oysters using an array of complementary flavour components, you have your choice of either the Oyster Kilpatrick, Oyster with Cheese and Oyster with Mentaiko Sauce—all prepared á la minute, bubbling and begging to be devoured.

The Oyster Kilpatrick comes punctuated with an apparent smokiness that resonates well with the briny oyster and the crunchy bits of crispy bacon and wilted spinach provided a nice texture

Mentaiko Baked Oyster is enriched with a silky smooth cream sauce that is savoury, umami-dense and velvety, making knocking back a dozen or more of these bad boys way too easy. The cheese version is flame-torched prior to serving, allowing a crust to develop and also to give the oyster a charred flavour.

SEA SALT CARAMEL LOG CAKE

A quirky yet unsurprising twist on the traditional Christmas log cake, Spice Brasserie’s version features ingredients that play on the balance of salty and sweet with a creamy, crispy feature—courtesy of the hazelnut crunch—that worked incredibly well.

The decadent mocha sponge, accompanied by the sea salt caramel mousse and caramel core gives the cake a profound savouriness that makes reaching in for seconds (or even thirds) impossible to resist.

This festive feast will be going on from 17 December 2018 to 1 January 2019 and diners can quote ‘ladyironchef’ upon making reservations to enjoy 20% off both the lunch and dinner festive buffets.

Oysters are considered a luxurious treat in many parts of the world and they are highly prized by shellfish connoisseurs because of the decrease in supply in recent years. This saltwater delicacy comes in hundreds of varieties and each one of them carries their own unique taste and identity.

Oysters are bivalve molluscs that can be eaten raw, roasted or cooked, and most people prefer pairing them with luxurious wines. As with most premium seafood, oysters have their own categorisation—from grade 0 to grade 5—and prices are highly dependent on their respective grades. That means you can find both affordably priced oysters, as well as top-grade oysters that come with heavier price tags.

Our guide to 14 Best Places To Eat Oysters In Singapore gives you an overview of restaurants that offer the finest oysters so you can teleport yourself to oyster heaven.

When it comes to impeccable dining and service standards, no one puts two and two together better than Pan Pacific Orchard, Singapore’s 10 at Claymore.

This affordable buffet restaurant is among one of the most popular dining destinations in the city and is a true highlight for carnivores and just about anyone else who appreciates an endless spread of indulgent treats—from local favourites such as prawn noodles to crêpes that come with a selection of sweet toppings of your choice.

In the months of October and November, gear up for 10 at Claymore’s brand new dinner buffet lineup, themed Epicurean Treasures – Jamón Ibérico, Belon Oysters and Lobsters, that will feature a luxurious spread of Jamón Ibérico from Spain, Belon and Fine de Claire oysters from France and Boston lobsters.

These star attractions, in addition to the rest of the buffet spread, can be enjoyed at only S$98++ for 2 pax all week from 01 October to 30 November 2017 when you quote ‘Ladyironchef-Dinner Buffet’ upon making reservations. So gather your friends and family because this is one epic buffet to indulge in!

JAMÓN IBÉRICO FROM SPAIN

The newest addition to 10 at Claymore’s dinner buffet is Spain’s prized Jamón Ibérico. Deftly carved by the chefs at the restaurant’s live station, each piece is sliced super thin to ensure a melt-in-your-mouth sensation along with a robust flavour, courtesy of the magnificent marbling.

For the uninitiated, the Ibérico refers to a special breed of pig that is fed on bellotas (acorns) which are rich in oleic acid and is what gives the meat its pronounced nutty flavour. The meat of the Ibérico is high in healthy omega-3 fatty acids and is also known to lower bad cholesterol.

This specific diet for the pig results in the meat being immensely flavourful, encompassing sweet, nutty and mildly salty flavours.

Jamón Ibérico is best enjoyed at room temperature, paired with a glass of chilled fine wine, on its own or atop a slice of crusty bread. We highly recommend having it thinly sliced to be able to savour the full flavour and texture of the gorgeous pig—with such a high-fat content, the meat will literally melt on your tongue like butter!

BELON AND FINE DE CLAIRE OYSTERS

What is a buffet at 10 at Claymore without some fine oysters?

New to 10 at Claymore is the famed Belon oysters, which some refer to as European Flats. Not to be underestimated, the oddly misshapen Belons, large and plump with a distinct metallic flavour, are a real connoisseur’s oysters to be enjoyed on its own without any lemon or mignonette sauce.

Only a minuscule 5,000 Belons are pulled and sold, making them one of the rarest oysters in the world. Some may love its distinct umami taste while some may not, but nevertheless, you can be sure that they will make an impression.

Delicate in nature, special care must be taken during packing and transporting of these delicious morsels. Belon oysters must be laid on seaweed with the rounded side of their shells—also known as the oyster’s belly—facing down.

Next to the briny Belons is its sweeter and fruitier flavoured counterpart—the Fine de Claire oysters. From the fresh waters of the French Atlantic Coast, these oysters may not be as meaty but they sure leave an aromatic and lingering aftertaste that is both earthy, smooth and deliciously sweet.

BOSTON LOBSTER

10 at Claymore’s dinner buffet also sees this favourite mainstay—Boston lobsters on ice.

The sweet lobster meat is plump and oozing with delicious roe. It is best appreciated when dipped in clarified butter, with a dash of Tabasco sauce or even simply just a fresh lemon squeezed over top. Frankly, the Boston lobsters here are so fresh that they are delicious on its own.

At S$68++ per person, Epicurean Treasures – Jamón Ibérico, Belon Oysters and Lobsters is a complete multi-faceted culinary experience that will appeal to connoisseurs of all cuisines.

On top of the lavish spread, diners will also be treated to 10 at Claymore’s signature Penang favourites, other Asian delights such as sashimi and International dishes. And after the feasting is done, round off your meal with some sweet goodies at the dessert buffet line.

One of the most popular desserts made in-house are the crêpes prepared a la minute with a selection of decadent toppings, from Nutella to refreshing tropical fruits—which we strongly encourage you to leave stomach space for!

And just for Ladyironchef readers, quote ‘Ladyironchef-Dinner Buffet’ to enjoy the buffet at S$98++ for two pax. The buffet is available for dinner only from Monday to Sunday. This promotion is valid from 01 October to 30 November 2017 for dinner from 6.00pm to 10.30pm.

With the high price tag on most seafood dishes, it is not surprising that most would turn to satisfying their seafood cravings at buffets instead of regular seafood dining establishments.

But the problem arises when we do not find ourselves craving the entire spread of seafood but just some freshly shucked oysters. Where then do we turn to for affordable oysters when the hunger arises?

Here are 11 Places In Singapore For Oysters Under S$3++. It is time to take advantage of these amazing oyster happy hour deals in Singapore whilst saving your wallet some pain.

Fancy slurping down cold, freshly shucked oysters for only S$1.99 at any time of the day? Yes, you can actually get a plate full of Canadian oysters without burning a hole in your pocket at this American bar in Clarke Quay—Oyster Co.

Situated opposite popular Central Perk Cafe (and managed by the same team), Oyster Co is the first bar in Asia to serve Budweiser on tap. Drink to your heart’s content while you indulge in affordable S$10 Western set lunches and light bites.

Being oyster lovers, we could hardly contain our excitement when the grade 3 Canadian oysters (S$1.99/piece) were served to us. Freshly shucked upon order, the moderately salty and robust flavours won our hearts.

While we were given Canadian oysters, the owner also sources oysters from other regions such as Ireland and France as well.

//

We recommend heading over during lunch time as Oyster Co has a decent menu featuring S$10 set lunches. The Fish & Chips (S$10++) came with batter-fried mackerel fish, Belgium straight cut fries and Hainanese Chilli.

Deep-fried till golden brown, the crispy skin encased tender and moist fish meat which we enjoyed with the spicy chilli. We particularly liked how they chose to pair the dish with Asian chilli instead.

Those who are health conscious may want to consider the Beef Bowl instead (S$10++). The moist brown rice was paired with runny sous vide egg, sauteed spinach and savoury mushrooms.

This is a great dish for those who want to opt for something healthy that does not compromise on taste.

//

Do not miss out on their tapas if you are there for a drink with your colleagues or friends. Prices range from S$8 to S$12.

Some noteworthy finger food that we tried include the Cauliflower 3 Ways (S$10++) which allows you to enjoy roast, puree and tempura cauliflower with burnt butter quinoa and Squid Ink Paella (S$10++).

Fans of 10 at Claymore will be pleased to know that the restaurant’s much anticipated and highly raved Oyster Occasions buffet is back! This time with a scrumptious addition of succulently fresh lobsters to boot!

From 01 April 2017 to 30 June 2017, indulge in premium oysters sourced from five different parts of the world, before sinking your teeth into a bed of succulent lobsters on ice. If cooked oysters are your thing—10 at Claymore at Pan Pacific Orchard, Singapore has added a marvellous spread of lobsters cooked in a variety of styles for your dining pleasure. What more can shellfish enthusiasts and buffet goers ask for!

Now here’s the best part – quote ‘ladyironchef’ to enjoy the Oyster and Lobster Occasions feast at S$98++ for two pax (dinner only).

OYSTERS FROM FIVE DIFFERENT COUNTRIES

Hands up if you love oysters just as much as we do! Let your taste buds travel all the way to Canada, France, Ireland, Australia and the USA with these plump and juicy oysters. An all-you-can-eat oyster buffet is a dream come true for shellfish aficionados!

For those just starting out on oysters, you may not know that oysters from different regions around the world have their own unique identity. Oysters do not taste the same!

10 at Claymore is the perfect place for you to treat yourselves to the different varieties before you decide on the ones you would go for extra helpings. After all, no one is going to fault you if you so decide to eat every single variety and as many pieces as you want.

If you are a beginner making your first tasting of oysters, we recommend you start with the plump and smooth American Oysters from Washington Bay as they are milder in flavours and definitely not overwhelming. If you prefer something sweeter, go for the Canadian Fanny Bay Pacific Oysters, these have a briny taste with a distinct cucumber finish.

If lighter flavours are not your thing, head straight for the Irish Premium Oysters which are loved for being creamy and luscious. Those with a fondness for oysters that are less fleshy, but equally juicy, can opt for the French Fine de Claire Oysters.

Try too, the hearty and robust flavours that come with oysters from Australia. They are simply delightful with a hit of fresh lemon.

One of the best things we love about having oysters at 10 at Claymore is how each and every oyster is freshly shucked right before you! This season your oysters will be shucked by none other than Chef Eric Cheam, one of the restaurant’s resident chefs and runner-up in the recent Singapore 21^st Guinness Oyster Opening Championship!

CANADIAN LOBSTER WITH GARLIC HERB BUTTER

Your feast does not stop here. For the first time ever, 10 at Claymore is bringing the buffet spread up a notch by introducing the finest lobster dishes.

Canadian Lobster with Garlic Herb Butter is our favourite lobster dish and was the first one to be polished off by all of us sitting at the table. It was masterfully executed—with creamy and rich garlic herb butter on fresh lobster meat as the highlight.

ASIAN FUSION SLIPPER LOBSTER IN SPECIAL KAM HEONG SAUCE

Singaporeans always make it a point to order Kam Heong dishes at zi char stalls because it is an all-time favourite and the robust taste is something we can always seek comfort in.

Look out for the Asian Fusion Slipper Lobster in special Kam Heong (Golden Fragrance) sauce in the buffet spread. 10 at Claymore’s rendition of the familiar spice blend is a lovely combination of spicy and savoury flavours which come from aromatic curry leaves, chopped chilli and crispy bits of dried shrimps.

STIR-FRIED BOSTON LOBSTER WITH GARLIC AND GINGER

With so many outstanding dishes, remember to make room for the Stir-fried Boston Lobster with Garlic and Ginger. This method of stir-frying lobsters is a perennial Chinese classic and is a fantastic addition to the lobster spread.

LOBSTER ON ICE

There is no way we are leaving out the fresh Lobster on Ice. Using only fresh Boston Lobsters, you can expect high-quality seafood when it comes to 10 at Claymore. The purists will enjoy the sweetness of the tender and juicy lobster meat on its own.

For something heavier on the palate, choose among various dipping sauces including cocktail sauce, wasabi mayonnaise and homemade Thai sauce.

Diners can also expect a mouth-watering array of seafood on ice, sashimi and the usual Asian and International hot food stations. End your meal on a sweet note with a spectacular selection of desserts featuring homemade pastries, chocolate fondue fountain and signature crepes that come in many flavours.

Judging by the overwhelming success of their previous Spring Time Oyster Rhapsody buffet, our advice – book early, in fact – book now!

When it comes to value-for-money where buffets are concerned, this season’s Oyster and Lobster Occasions Buffet at 10 at Claymore is a hard one to beat!

Remember to quote ‘ladyironchef’ to enjoy the Oyster and Lobster Occasions at S$98++ for two pax. The buffet is available for dinner only from Monday to Sunday.

This post is brought to you by Pan Pacific Orchard, Singapore.

10 at Claymore at Pan Pacific Orchard, Singapore has successfully established itself as the go-to place for a value-for-money buffet. It is especially well-known for their freshly shucked oysters and Penang local delights. Dishes are on a rotational basis, whereby the gourmet highlights would largely depend on the period’s festivity.

We hope you guys thoroughly enjoyed last year’s yuletide feast at 10 at Claymore! This year, the award-winning hotel establishment is launching a curated Spring Time Oyster Rhapsody Buffet, where you can sink your teeth into unlimited Lunar New Year delicacies such as Eight Treasure Lotus Leaf Rice, Superior Fish Maw Soup and Yu Sheng at very affordable prices.

Apart from that, the buffet lineup also features many of its popular Penang classics such as Char Koay Teow and Bak Kut Teh, as well as free-flow oysters from five different countries.

Quote ‘ladyironchef’ to enjoy an all-you-can-eat indulgent feast at S$58++* for two during lunch (U.P. S$42++/pax) and S$98++ for two during dinner (U.P. S$68++/pax). This exclusive promotion** is valid from 10 Jan 2017 to 28 Feb 2017 (blackout dates apply).

While most places are closed during Lunar New Year, locals and holidaymakers would be pleased to hear that 10 at Claymore will be operating as per normal—and with a bigger and better menu. This Chinese New Year, be pampered with a Chinese New Year buffet which includes fresh seafood, a divine dessert spread and an array of international dishes.

A traditional lion dance performance will be held at Pan Pacific Orchard, Singapore’s hotel lobby on 03 Feb 2017 at 9am. Tourists and locals on a staycation should definitely wake up early to check out this auspicious dance performance.

Now, let’s get back to the main topic: Food.

No Chinese New Year is complete without Yu Sheng. We understand that the preparation for a family meal could be arduous, so why not take a backseat this year and allow the restaurant’s A team to handle this stressful responsibility?

All you have do is to pick up the gigantic chopsticks and toss to prosperity!

Penang native Executive Chef Andy Oh and his talented crew have gone through the lengths to ensure you feel at home!

Lo Hei aside, you can too anticipate other signature symbolic dishes such as Fatt Choy with Sea Cucumber and Eight Treasure Lotus Leaf Rice that your in-laws will approve.

For those unfamiliar with Chinese delicacies, this is the perfect opportunity to sample a variety of oriental classics. The Fatt Choy—which by the way, sounds like ‘getting rich’ in Cantonese—is a dish which symbolises wealth.

The pen cai is basically a casserole filled with this Fatt Choy we were talking about, braised dried oysters, leafy greens, sea cucumber and prawns. When you talk about luxurious lunar dish, people would think of pen cai, and this will be part of the buffet line-up where you can help yourselves to unlimited portions!

The Sticky Rice Cake—otherwise known as Nian Gao in Mandarin—is an oriental sweet treat that the Chinese would eat every Chinese New Year.

The glutinous rice-based cake is deep-fried with an egg wash and the end result is an incredibly chewy cake encased in a golden brown crisp. The consumption of the Nian Gao is associated with achieving greater heights.

By now, you would have noticed that each Chinese New Year dish has a meaning behind it. Fish is an important ingredient in every Lunar New Year meal as it indicates abundance. From Norwegian fresh salmon sashimi, Hong Kong-style Steamed Grouper to Superior Fish Maw Soup, you will have your fair share of fish dishes here at the buffet. The more, the merrier!

To get the most bang for your buck, head to the Seafood Harvest and Japanese Display Counter and pile your plates with endless Indonesian Mud Crab, Pacific Short Neck Clam, Vietnamese Tiger Prawn, New Zealand Green Lip Mussel, Salmon Sashimi, Maguro, Oysters and more!

Besides Chinese New Year dishes, there is also a mouthwatering selection of Asian and Western delights.

We are talking about authentic Penang hawker fare, Chinese roast meats and Western roasts. The items are on rotation and are subjected to the change and availability of seasonal produce but the quality remains consistent throughout.

Admittedly, the free-flow freshly shucked opulent oysters from five different countries will always be the biggest draw at 10 at Claymore. The decadent variety will make you lose your mind, i.e. Canadian Family Bay Oysters, French Oysters, Irish Premium Oysters, New Zealand Pacific Oysters and the United States Washington Bay Oysters.

This alone is reason enough for us to return to the buffet at Pan Pacific Orchard, Singapore over and over again.

P.S. The oysters are only available during dinner buffet.

10 at Claymore’s massive dessert spread will have your little ones grinning from ear to ear. Just look at the chocolate fountain and the sheer number of cakes!

There is also a Crêpe live station where you can request for a cooked-to-order French crêpes. The choice of fillings includes Nutella, peanut, blueberry, strawberry, peach, fresh cream and even durian.

Now, don’t you agree that this is buffet spread with an irresistible promotion?

Living in one of the world’s most expensive cities has its pros and cons. While those residing in Singapore are blessed with an impressive variety of watering holes, the drawback would be the exorbitant prices of alcohol.

These days, it is extremely common to pay at least S$20 for a glass of champagne in Singapore; going out for drinks is far from affordable.

So, imagine our surprise when we were told that Raffles Hotel’s Bar & Billiard Room is offering an awesome value-for-money promotion. You guys, two glasses of premium champagne, four freshly shucked oysters and a complimentary bucket of Indian flatbreads papadums – all at only S$30++ on every Friday from 6pm to 9pm.

Now, that is a rare indulgent treat without an extravagant price tag!

Located on the ground floor of the luxurious Raffles Hotel is Singapore’s oldest existing bar, Bar & Billiard Room. The drinking spot is characterised by high ceilings and elegant chandeliers; a great venue for business meetings and romantic dates alike.

Play a game or two at Bar & Billiard’s century-old pool table and experience what it feels like to be teleported back into Singapore’s colonial era.

Boasting over 400 whisky labels and a cabinet of high quality cigars, this gorgeous institution is a must-visit for all whisky-and-cigar connoisseurs. A comprehensive whisky-centric programme run by resident whisky expert Christoph B.

Nyfeler is conducted here and guests can expect exciting events such as whisky appreciation nights and whisky master classes.

Whisky aside, Bar & Billiard Room features an extensive list of artisanal cocktails too. Do check their handcrafted concoctions out during Singapore Cocktail Week. A must-try would be the ‘Stray Tiger’ – a strong mix of absinthe, lemongrass foam, lime juice, orange liqueur, rum and vermouth.

Hanging out at Bar & Billiard Room sounds like a costly affair but it need not be when you visit on Fridays. Usher into the weekend with just S$30++ and you are entitled to luxuriate over four Irish oysters that are shucked right in front of you, two glasses of award-winning Ernest Rapeneau Selection Brut Champagne and savoury papadums. That is a spanking good deal for things that we would otherwise have to break a bank (well, sort of) for!

You now have a better idea on how to welcome the weekends, don’t you? And who knows? Friday nights might just be when you get to rub shoulders with other celebrities at Bar & Billiard Room!

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.

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).

Quayside Fish Bar & Bistro has a spacious interior that looks very inviting and though nothing fanciful, it makes you want to sink in to the seat for a meal. The splendiferous waterfront view makes it a wonderful choice for all-day dining; breezy environment to say the least, and you cannot get any more relaxing than this. And the cherry on top? The al fresco area is pet-friendly.

The Torched Holloumi Cheese (S$18) – with compressed watermelon, wild rocket, raspberry wine vinaigrette and squid ink crumbs – is a work of art on its own. The very colourful dish is simply too beautiful to behold. It is intended to spark the palate and leave you anticipating what is to come.

The Horseradish Marinated Yellowfin Tuna Tartare (S$18) is also another great way to start your meal. So too are the oysters. If you like oysters, you will be spoiled by the choices at Quayside Fish Bar & Bistro. They have oysters (S$4.30 – S$9.35 per piece) from around the world – Tasmania, Scotland, Ireland, France, to name a few…

What I also like about Quayside Fish Bar & Bistro is that it has a special and very personalised Blackboard menu which changes daily with the freshest produce that the chefs source for the day. First, you choose a fish (min order of 200g for dine-in), then select your preferred cooking method – baked mole, herb crusted, roasted, cartoccio, and poached. And finally, choose the side dish to go along with the fish.

We tried a Chilean Seabass in Baked Mole style. The fish was fresh and tender, but what worked wonders for it was the sauce, which was tangy and very flavourful. It was accompanied by a generous stack of shoestring white truffle fries.

Among the three pasta dishes on the menu, we sampled qsfb’s Signature Chilli Crab Linguine and Squid Ink Lobster Spaghetti. The former was a kick-ass spicy and fiery hot rendition of the iconic Singapore dish, while the latter came in delicious squid ink XO cream with hint of brandy, topped with huge chunks of lobsters.

The standout dish on the menu is surely the qsfb’s Fresh Seafood Platter (S$150, for 2 to 3 pax) – with the choice of hot or cold – which features an entire Boston lobster, seasonal oysters, Hokkaido scallops, snow crab, crawfish, tiger prawns, scampi, and more truffle fries.

Desserts are baked freshly in-house, too. The Black Sesame Cheese Pound Cake (S$9), with a scoop of green tea gelato, is a unique creation. Chocolate Coated Strawberries (S$9) are bites of decadence. White Truffle Flavoured Lava Chocolate Cake (S$12) will make you go weak in the knees. But the must-try dessert is their Homemade Tiramisu (S$14), which is rich and doused in a copious amount of alcohol. This might just be one dessert to leave you with withdrawal syndrome – if that is even possible.

Citibank card holders get to enjoy a complimentary glass of sauvignon blanc or Pinot Noir with every S$60 spent at Quayside Fish Bar & Bistro (valid from Tue – Fri). Ultima Cardholders get 10% off total bill with minimum spend of S$100.

The weekly promotion here is also equally enticing. From a glass of Bloody Mary oyster shooter at a jaw-dropping S$5 (on every Sun), to a 1-for-1 deal on Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and Prosecco (on every Tue), and 1-for-1 cocktails (on every Wed) – there is always something to anticipate at Quayside Fish Bar & Bistro.

If you are the adventurous type, and thinking of a place to celebrate Halloween with your pals, the “Peer by the Pier” Scary Halloween Party at Quayside Fish Bar & Bistro is definitely your kind of party. There are many scary activities lined up for the evening – expect free flow of brain booze for your indulgence if you dare. Find out more information on their facebook event page.

The marriage of super fresh seafood with an array of speciality cocktails, wines and craft beers served up in a comfortable and cosy gastrobar setting makes this fish bar at Quayside Isle a spot to head to if you haven’t been. For those of you who are already regulars there, the ongoing promotions are reason enough to make you return soon.
