You’ve probably been around the historic One Fullerton and The Fullerton Hotel precinct in Singapore a fair bit. Now a lifestyle hub, the area is home to a number of handsome restaurants that look good, and we can assure you, dish out food that is equally delightful. And if you’ve been wanting to try some of them without burning a hole in your pocket, the annual Flavours of The Fullerton Heritage, which runs from now to 28 February 2018, is your answer. Here are five participating restaurants in particular to check out.
La Brasserie
Haven’t had a chance to dine at the famed La Brasserie? Known for its spacious salons as much as its finely curated menu of French cuisine du soleil classics, this lively brasserie at The Fullerton Hotel is all about elegant business lunches and handsome steak dinners. Through the week, Citibank cardholders can enjoy 20% off all regular set menus and a la carte food orders, on highlights such as the stunning Suprême De Canard Confit with Mediterranean elements, good ol’ Steak and Frites, galettes (a savoury crepe of sorts), and tarte tartine.

Monti
The newest restaurant on this list to join the Fullerton Precinct, Monti currently occupies the renowned spherical Fullerton Pavilion, and throughout February, they’ll be offering an exclusive five-course Omakase tasting menu from just $99++! Look out for Head Chef Felix Chong’s signature Italian dishes, from a seafood-laden Housemade Squid Ink Tagliolini to the Oak Charred Prime Ribeye with Japanese Sweet Corn, and Capon Consommé, which boasts tasty mortadella tortellini.
Off the a la carte menu, you might want to try the premium Tajima Wagyu Beef Carpaccio ($24) with seasonal truffle and acacia honey, or their Pan-seared Monkfish ($52).

1919 Waterboat House
At the iconic 1919 Waterboat House, expect to find some of the freshest ocean catch this month. Those on the hunt for a good lunch to beat the work week blues can look to the ‘Flavours of Fullerton’ three-course set lunch ($39++), which sees stunning options like the Trio of Saumon (tartare, smoked, and parfait), Red Bass Bar De Ligne in shellfish bisque, as well as Braised Beef Short Ribs with an intriguing wasabi kale. And for dessert: the signature 1919 Chocolate Mountain or deconstructed Passionfruit Tart.
As night falls and the restaurant baths in a romantic light, dive into a four-course set dinner ($79++) with dishes such as Truffled Crab Pasta with kombu and caviar, the hearty Bouillabaisse Cappucino, and Margaret Duck Breast on sweet potato puree. Sounds like a steal? It definitely is.

The Clifford Pier
Lobster roll aficionados would be remiss not to head down to The Clifford Pier for their take on this buzz-worthy food offering.

With gourmet local specialities and Southeast Asian delicacies in mind, feel free to stuff yourself silly with nostalgic signatures such as Salted Egg Yolk Chicken Wings ($24/three), The Pier’s Prawn Laksa ($23), and classics like the “Honto” Black Cod marinated with miso and sake ($43), and Spicy Jumbo Lump Crab Meat Spaghetti ($34).
