Degustation Menu (Japan) at Hilton Singapore's Poolside Italian Restaurant il Cielo by Chef Yohhei Sasaki

It has been slightly under a year since my last visit to the Hilton Singapore's rooftop Italian restaurant, il Cielo, and so I was very excited to check out the new dining experience with newly-appointed Chef de Cuisine, Yohhei Sasaki.
