With so many new entrants to the city’s gastronomic landscape, it can be quite the dilemma deciding where to eat. Don’t fret, we’ve got you! From luxurious classic cocktails, vegetarian hawker bites to premium seafood selections, here’s a list of our top picks this week.
Celebrate the Classic Sidecar with Rémy Martin
Rémy Martin is celebrating the centenary of the iconic cocktail classic, the Sidecar, with its newly-launched Rémy Martin 1738 Accord Royal (S$100). This award-winning cognac boasts a woody flavour profile with subtle notes of vanilla and brioche, thanks to ageing in lightly toasted barrels. Get a sip of it in Sidecar renditions at some of Singapore’s top watering holes, from the Ghevar at MO BAR to the Cracked Cardinal at the Tippling Club or the creative Colours Around Us at Smoke & Mirrors. If you’re looking for the real deal, head down to the Last Word for a traditional serve.
Rémy Martin 1738 Accord Royal is available for purchase on LazMall and Amazon. The Sidecar renditions will be served at Last Word, MO BAR, Smoke & Mirrors, Stay Gold Flamingo, Studio 1939 at Potato Head Singapore, and the Tippling Club. Guests purchasing a Sidecar cocktail from Stay Gold Flamingo stand a chance to win a 700ml bottle of Rémy Martin 1738 Accord Royal and a 700ml bottle of Cointreau. Visit Stay Gold Flamingo’s Instagram and Facebook for more details.
Get Wacky with Bread Sushi at Small’s
Serving up another outlandish new flavour experience is maverick chef Bjorn Shen with his brand new doughmakase menu at Small’s. His Bread Sushi Experience (S$165++ per pax) sees him marrying his dough-making knowledge with sushi techniques, swapping out the traditional rice in sushi with bread of all sorts. Some wacky bites to expect include lightly seared Engawa (flounder fin) laid on a bed of charcoal grilled bread, and Botan Ebi laced with dan dan and yuzu kosho.
