New Basilissimo Dinner Menu at Basilico (Regent Singapore) - 2016 Quarter 3/4

The Basillissimo Dinner Menu at Basilico (located within Regent Singapore) is a year-long dining affair that features a different menu each quarter of the year as part of the three-course Basillissimo (The Best of Basilico) dinner - this includes an appetiser, an à la carte main course as well as a dessert buffet that you definitely have to leave some (stomach) space for. Much like my previous article, the images photographed here are tasting portions and they are in no way representative of the actual portions you will receive at the restaurant. Having explored the flavours of the Appenine Mountains and Adriatic Sea in quarter one and two respectively, Basilico Head Chef Luca Beccalli introduces new menu highlights from the Mediterranean Sea and the Alps this quarter three (July to September) and four (October to December).

New Harlem-inspired Menu at Manhattan (Regent Singapore)

Tucked away quietly in Regent Singapore, Manhattan is one of Singapore's best bars (it ranks amongst the world's top 50 bars too!) and as much as I wish to keep it a secret, it has to be shared. When I checked out the Hell's Kitchen district last year, I fell in love with the smokey Mad Dog (S$24++) . As such, when I got invited by the kind folks at Manhattan to try out the brand new Harlem district (read: menu), I knew I had to bring my drinking liver.

5 Hotel Stays to Remember in 2015

As 2015 comes to a close, I would like to reflect on some of the most memorable hotel stays that I have had this year. Not only did I check out one of the most haunted hotels in Asia, I also went to the most opulent one (in my opinion). 2015 was also the year that I managed to bring my toy poodle (lawfully) to a weekend staycation that I enjoy so much (on a far-too-regular basis). In addition to all that, I also had the opportunity to experience living in my very own Serviced Suite (even for a night) in the heart of Singapore while having some time to check out one of the most beautiful beach resorts in Phuket (which serves excellent Thai food) on a separate weekend.
