TWO ISLANDS A tale of
Done with business in Singapore? Stay for the weekend to explore the southern precinct and the famed Sentosa Island – a scenic getaway less than 20 minutes from the bustling city centre
WATERFRONT SMORGASBORD At HarbourFront, you can wine and dine, and even shop, with a view. Here are some ideas: Vivocity 1 is a 1.5 million square feet of
retail, entertainment and lifestyle experience. For gourmands, it is also a paradise. Jamie’s Italian 2 probably needs no introduction – enjoy authentic Italian cuisine in an environment that oozes rustic charm with bespoke furniture handmade by local artisans. Advance bookings are recommended. No Signboard Seafood Restaurant 3 serves up one of Singapore’s very own signature dishes, chilli crab, as well as house speciality white-pepper crab. Nyonya & Baba Peranakan Cuisine lets you learn about Singapore’s history through its food – the Peranakan culture is a result of interracial marriages between foreign traders and local women between the 15th
and 17th centuries.
Highlights include babi pongteh (slow-braised pork) and Assam curry fish head. Paradise Dynasty gives a classic Chinese dish a twist – its multicoloured xiao long bao range from black to pink and even green! Linked to Vivocity, HarbourFront Centre provides another three storeys of shops and restaurants, including quick and easy options such as MOS Burger and Yoshinoya.
Nearby Food Republic Beer Garden, located just outside popular nightclub St James Power Station, is a chilled 1960s-style drinking venue with alfresco seating. It also serves no-frills local hawker food such as bak chor mee (minced pork noodles) and orh luah (fried oyster omelette). For haute cuisine in the most literal sense, try Sky Dining 4 – enjoy a 90-minute cable car ride with a breathtaking view of the precinct while sampling food prepared by executive chefs at Faber Bistro at Faber Peak.
