Highlights include the Smoked Petuna Ocean Trout garnished with pink grapefruit and parmesan emulsion, and Caramelised Packham Pears, complemented by a glass of Cane Cut Viognier 2019 with lots of ginger spice and stone fruit notes.

Join The Search for Singapore’s Next Iconic Cocktail
Ever wondered how your favourite rojak would taste in booze form? Well, you can find out at Neon Pigeon this Friday as seven leading bars shake it out for the title of Singapore’s Next Iconic Cocktail.
Using Johnnie Walker Gold Label, the bartenders will brew up original cocktails crafted around uniquely Singaporean flavours. The lineup, which includes Anti:dote, Jekyll & Hyde, Tippling Club, and Jigger & Pony promises some truly zany, marvellous concoctions – think highballs inspired by nasi lemak and brews paying tribute to the Samsui women of yore.

Enjoy Reimagined British Favourites at JAAN
Classic British fare gets a modern makeover in JAAN by Kirk Westaway’s new summer menu. With Fish and Chips, Chef Kirk reinterprets this beloved staple as a crisp tartlet filled with cod fish brandade and served with tartar sauce. The humble English potato is jazzed up with truffle juice in Roast Potato Soup, while the Majestic Irish Oyster sits pretty on a decadent bed of artichoke custard and Kristal caviar. The menu will be available for both lunch (from S$98++/4-course set lunch) and dinner (S$268++/8-course set dinner).
JAAN by Kirk Westaway‘s new summer menu is available from Mon-Sat, 11.45am − 1pm and 6.45pm − 8pm at L70, Swissôtel The Stamford, 2 Stamford Rd, Singapore 178882, p. +65 6837 3322.
