開飯喇!

A big thank you Openrice.com for choosing me as one of the winners, together with fellow bloggers like SmithankyouDonaldCuisine Paradise and Miss Tam Chiak, to experience the exclusive food tasting session at the Singapore Flyer on 30 Jun2010!

Say hi to Openrice.com!

OpenRice

If you haven’t heard of OpenRice, it’s my favourite dining guide in Hong Kong and it has since made it’s way to Singapore! It’s currently in it beta stage and will be launching with a big bang sometime at end of this year!

Singapore Flyer Sky Dining

If you have been following my blog, this isn’t the first time that I’ve gone up on the Singapore Flyer! Last year, I had my virgin visit to the Singapore Flyer and also experienced the F1 qualifying race at the Singapore Flyer.

But never had I tried the Sky Dining at the Singapore Flyer – the World’s First Full-Butler dining in the skies!

SPECIAL SKY DINING CAPSULE

In this special sky dining capsule, which can seat 10 person comfortably, we were served by dedicated butler throughout this Uniquely Singapore dining experience!

WELCOME DRINK: FRESH SUMMER BERRIES IN GINGER ALE

WELCOME DRINK: FRESH SUMMER BERRIES IN GINGER ALE

The whole dining experience started off the welcome drink after we were seated comfortably. I always loved Ginger Ale and the addition of the Summer Berries just give it a different twist!

STARTER: MARINATED TUNA SEAWEED FURUKE

The starter was Ahi tuna in Japanese spices laced with kumquat pommery dressing and accompanied with olive honey tomato and daikon cress and the starter went pretty well with the welcome drink!.

STEWED LAMB SHANK VINDALOO

ARCTIC CHAR SALMON ESCALOPES

ARCTIC CHAR SALMON ESCALOPES

While there is a choice of either Chicken, Lamb or Fish, no one from this group ordered Chicken as the main course! The main course was served after 1 rotation on the Singapore Flyer and they had to serve the dishes really fast! I the the Arctic Char Salmon Escalopes which tasted quite nice, but I do prefer Ee Von’s choice of Stewed Lamb Shank Vandaloo – I simply love the aroma of the spices!

DESSERT: STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING

DESSERT: STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING

Desserts were being served at the VIP Lounge after the second rotation and who can resist desserts, right? Well, you need to have a sweet tooth to really enjoy this ;)

Instead of staying at the air-conditioned VIP Lounge, we went for the alfresco area outside and enjoyed the nice breeze and scenery out there.

I would say this is a must try for tourist who are visiting Singapore and probably a good place for anniversary celebrations for couples – So do consider the Singapore Flyer Sky Dining if you have ran out of ideas to impress your other half! ;)

Who says healthy food can’t taste good? Until you try the food from Eden Sanctuary Floral Cafe!

Eden Sanctuary Floral Cafe

I was invited for a food tasting session at Eden Sanctuary Floral Cafe awhile back and I simply love the food there! Being someone who is picky about quality of food, it’s rather hard to please my taste buds.

Together with other food bloggers like Sparkette and Calvin Timo, we were presented with a 5-course dinner with the Colours Theme!

I loved every single dish I ate that evening, but my personal favourite was the “Prawns with Edamame Peas Green Pasta”! The prawns were very fresh and crunchy, while the pasta was cooked just right!
