SKAI

SKAI is a lively contemporary grill, situated on the 70th floor of Singapore’s acclaimed Swissôtel The Stamford. Here we are at SKAI celebrating our wedding anniversary on 3 January 2022. 

The view was spectacular. Pity we did not get to sit by the window view. Also we were forced to take the festive dinner which by right should have ended on 2 January. The main course was blend and average. 

Charred Aji Mackerel

Cured Scallop - Pink Grapefruit, Caramelised Cauliflower, Tapioca

Bread and herb butter

Potato and Leek Soup - Great presentation

Grilled chicken - blend

Scarlet Prawn with glass noodles, Tamarind Shiitake and Soft Shell Crab - this dish was rather blend if not for the asparagus which I personally felt was the better of the dish.

Caramelized Banana - the effect when this dish was brought to us  was spectacular 

Matcha Tiramisu -Super delicious

A small cake for us

Petit Four

 Night View

River HongBao 2022

Here we are at River Hong Bao 2022 at Gardens by the Bay on the 2nd day of CNY. Managed to get the tickets when it was made available online. We  booked for the afternoon slot. The night slots would be nicer. Yet I am thankful at least we managed to see the display despite the hot sun. 

Really reminds me of holidays

The Dempsey Cookhouse & Bar

This was one of the rare occasions when I was not working on a Saturday in December 2021. We managed to make a reservation at the Dempsey Cookhouse and  Bar. It was a leisurely lunch where we could people watch and admire the greenery.

Kale and Broccoli Salad, Soft boiled egg, Parmesan and Crouton - healthy dish.
