Pleasing our tastebuds in Sentosa

Visiting a popular island resort in Singapore can be a thrilling experience. Couples and other individuals visiting Sentosa, in particular, are delighted to find that the destination has several Singapore restaurants serving diverse cuisines and offering a god view of the scenery. Sentosa challenges the palate to discover new possibilities. Couple-friends of mine recently were recently in town en route to Sentosa, and we decided to dine at The Garden at the Sentosa Resort & Spa.

The Garden is one the gourmet Singapore restaurants that puts emphasis on innovative and wholesome foods prepared using healthy natural ingredients like grapeseed or olive oil. It’s the place to be for vegetarians and organic food lovers. We ordered watermelon soup with mint, ginger and cucumber, and for the main entrée, organic chicken rice (ginger-soy marinated chicken breast) topped with crisp rice cakes, and beef tenderloin with asparagus, and soya milk panna cotta for dessert. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at The Garden. The ambience was lovely and the dining staff courteous. Who would have thought healthy food can be so delicious! The restaurant offered good value for money.

One of our dining companions mentioned that one of the other must-visit Singapore restaurants in the area is Il Lido, which she said has several scintillating Italian dishes and meals. If delectable dishes like crab and watermelon salad with fennel, champagne risotto with prawns and sweet peas, and veal ravioli with sage and truffle sauce sound enticing to you, that may be just the dining spot for you. Hubby and I loved Sentosa and we agreed that next time we visit the place, we’d go for some pizza and pasta in a restaurant called Trapizza. Indeed, there are lots of Singapore restaurants that look promising and it’s up for us to discover the most satisfying ones.

Time to Indulge & Enjoy Exotic Food

Call me adventurous… Every now and then, I like to indulge in exotic eats in one of the promising Singapore restaurants in town. While eating at food centres and coffee stalls are easier on the budget and enjoyable, an occasional lunch or dinner in one of the elegant fine dining Singapore restaurants can be a great experience.

Good food is best savored in the company of friends or family, so with a friend in tow, we headed towards Duxton Road to a dining spot called Casa Mediterranea, which is situated inside a quaint boutique hotel. The place had an old-world appeal, and there were noticeably large paintings hung on walls awash in warm Mediterranean hues. We walked on thick carpets and settled on comfy upholstered chairs then checked out the menu, that consisted of home-style dishes that were not that exorbitantly priced.

We began our meal with delicious tapas, bite-sized morsels that tickle the tastebuds. For the main entrée, we enjoyed the sumptuous Paella Valenciana, another Spanish-inspired dish spiced up with saffron. The prawns, squid, sausages and mussels in it more than satisfied our rumbling stomachs. For dessert, we had decadent Chocolate Trio with chopped nuts and a tinge of orange flavor. We saw other enticing dessert options on the menu, like the Greek dessert Baklava which we planned to try the next time we visit the dining destination. We’re also planning to enjoy good wine when we return. We’ll also probably try the buffet, which is understandably priced higher but offers an assortment of succulent eats a foodie can desire.

Dining in such Singapore restaurants with a cozy ambiance and good service is definitely something to look forward to and enjoy. I hope to continue my food journey, and the next time around I also intend to visit some Singapore restaurants with both classic dishes and all-time favorites like spicy chilli crab and mouth-watering pizzas with the freshest ingredients.

Enjoying a lavish meal in one of Singapore’s best dining destinations

Singapore can serve up lots of heart-stopping culinary pleasures. It’s hard not to fall in love with the destination. I’ve been collecting wonderful memories of topnotch grub which I’ve enjoyed by my lonesome, or in the company of friends, family, or colleagues. The best Singapore restaurants offer cuisine as delectable as it is varied, highlighting a fascinating heritage. You can go to the bustling food stalls, choose your chow, and have the cooks prepare the dish for you. Or you can go classy and check out the restaurants in Singapore hotels. Whichever way you get your gastronomic thrills, you can be sure that Singapore can deliver.


For a cool, plush and elegant dining option, Raffles Hotel retains a top spot.It has long been drawing business travelers and tourists. I was fortunate to have been invited to a special birthday celebration held at the magnificent hotel frequented by well-traveled out-of-towners. Anyway, the grand colonial style hotel is where the Long Bar Restaurant can be found. We weren’t surprised to find the floor strewn with peanut shells. Long Bar carries the usual pub meals and the popular Singapore Sling. If you enjoy dining in elegant Singapore restaurants, don’t miss out on Raffles Hotel’s dining options.

Our gastronomic journey did not end with the drinks at Long Bar. We were heady with delight when we proceeded to enjoy a juicy steak dinner at the steakhouse. Unless I have extra funds, I don’t think I’ll be going back there soon on my own. Overall, it was a memorable dining experience and I can say now that I’ve set foot in one of the best Singapore restaurants.
