Italian cuisine is more than just pizza and pasta. Basilico, Regent Singapore’s flagship Italian restaurant, presents a gastronomic array that’s as varied as the many regions of Italy.

Showcasing a different region each month, their well received wine dinners and Basilissimo (Best of Basilico) dinner draw inspiration hugely from the regions’ rich culture and produce.

The culinary team works hand-in-hand with an esteemed wine estate from the showcased region each month, creating exemplary pairings of food and wine in an intimate Wine Dinner affair.

“Winesday Night Live” happens every Wednesday, where you will enjoy 50 percent off selected regional wines. Look forward to the “live” station where their chef will demonstrate the art of pasta making.


This rustic pasta-cutting tool ensures that the width of the pasta is consistent.

Three-course Dinner with Antipasti Buffet, Dessert Buffet and your choice of Mains at $78++ per person, $108++ with 2 glasses of wine pairing and $128++ with 3 glasses of wine pairing. 6.30pm to 10pm.

The popular three-course Basilissimo dinner has recently launched the “Italian Journey”, which begins with a spectrum of antipasti, featuring premium cold cuts, cheeses, marinated seafood and seasonal vegetables.

Grand Park Orchard –“Festive at Open House”

Posted on by Melissa Koh
Reply

Open House is a modern restaurant located on the forth floor of Grand Park Orchard, offering all day dining daily with both international buffet and a-la-carte menus.

My first impression of the restaurant was: chic, classy, neat, and… where’s the food, is that it?

Supposedly a buffet restaurant, I imagined there to be an abundance of food where ravenous diners pile on their plates and vie for the last morsel, awaiting fresh replenishments thereafter.

This isn’t the case for Open House.

Striving for quality and not quantity, they maintain the freshness of the food by offering live stations, where diners are treated to piping-hot food that are fresh from the stove/oven –such as freshly made pizzas and cooked-to-order claypot dishes.


Roasted Char Siew Turkey with Five Spices

This Christmas, classic holiday recipes are injected with local flavours. One of such is the Roasted Char Siew Turkey with Five Spices.

Here is a mini festive buffet dining guide:
The magic of Christmas and the splendour of a New Year

This jolly season gives you all the reasons to loosen that belt and take a break from your stringent diet.

Festive All-you-can-eat (10 to 23 December 2012):
Lunch (12pm-2.30pm): $42++ per person

Spice Market Café –A must-visit buffet restaurant in Penang

Posted on by Melissa Koh
Reply

Spice Boutique – located at the entrance of Spice Market Café – houses an array of over 100 varieties of dried herbs and exotic spices, together with an assortment of curry powders, which will ignite your culinary imagination in a whirlwind tour. They are available for purchase, or simply for your exploration pleasures –to expand your knowledge on the diverse range and endless applications. Herbs and spices are great for enhancing the flavour of your dishes without adding artificial flavourings or fat.

Spice Market Café is an informal buffet-style restaurant, marketed as international, but tends to be heavily Asian influenced. The restaurant is pork-free, although obtaining a Halal certificate still poses a challenge for them, especially for items like sashimi.

One thing that disappointed me was the lack of traditional Penang cuisine, but the scrumptious spread made up for it. After all, we’re in Penang, and you can get Penang food everywhere else.

The spread is determined by the season and availability of ingredients, but variety and quality are two factors that remain consistent.

A Nyonya Food Affair at Buffet Town

Posted on by Melissa Koh

Ever since my last visit to Buffet Town for the ‘Salmonlicious’ themed buffet, I’ve been meaning to return, to engulf in whatever my stomach didn’t have space for the previous time.

This October, Buffet Town presents ‘A Nyonya Food Affair’ themed buffet, which this gives me the perfect excuse to go back!

Prided as one of the largest (if not the largest) buffet restaurants in Singapore, Buffet Town has attracted a huge following with their smorgasbord of over 300 items available –many patrons make repeat visits to sample its changing variety.

It’s evident from the snaking queues in front of the restaurant that Singaporeans love buffets.

I have a little Peranakan blood flowing through my veins (my grandmother is Peranakan), but I grew up eating Chinese, Western and fusion so if you were to ask me anything about Nyonya cuisine, you’d be putting me on the spot.

With the ‘Nyonya Food Affair’, it’s time for some enlightenment and lots of nomming.
