Cliff(y) Goes Dining

"A juicer is not a machine!" Hailing from Copenhagen, Denmark, Joe & The Juice is a chain of stores serving coffee, juice and sandwiches made with organic ingredients. Founded in 2002, it has got more than 300 locations around the world as of 2019. At the point of writing, there are three outlets in Singapore. I dropped by the one at Sentosa Cove during my staycation at W Singapore - Sentosa Cove.

Poke bowl for breakfast - that's a first! My second last staycation during Singapore's Phase 2 of Reopening was at W Singapore - Sentosa Cove (5*). In November 2020, a la carte buffet breakfast was served in a temporary space dedicated to The Kitchen Table as the restaurant was undergoing renovation. I wonder which other hotel dishes out healthy Hawaiian poke bowls for breakfast.

Satisfying dinner that ended with a peculiar olive oil cake! Welcome to the last post of the year! SKIRT is a modern steakhouse tucked away inside W Singapore - Sentosa Cove (5*) that's located far, far away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Given lots of thumbs up by meat lovers, the restaurant that's only open for dinner offers prime cuts of meat and sustainably sourced seafood.

Quite a huge spread for breakfast, but... I had the opportunity to stay at Amara Sanctuary Resort Sentosa (5*) before the COVID-19 pandemic kicked in. The hotel has been approved for staycation during Singapore's Phase 2 of Reopening, but it's definitely not offering self-service buffet breakfast for the time being. Let's have a look at the spread back then during my staycation on Labour Day.

Ever had sticky rice gelato or green curry gelato before? Gin Khao (lit. Eat Rice) Bistro is one of the restaurants lining up Quayside Isle at Sentosa Cove. After enjoying a peaceful, breezy walk, my BFF and I decided to have Thai cuisine for dinner. At the point of writing, there are two other branches at One Raffles Place and SAFRA Tampines.

Ever had bite-sized Scotch eggs? Shutters is a contemporary dining restaurant at Amara Sanctuary Resort Sentosa (5*) that serves an array of local and international cuisine. It boasts a romantic outdoor terrace area. I had the opportunity to go for a much-needed quiet lunch there after a hectic week of work.

Delicious chicken rice, though on the expensive side... After a fun-filled day at Sentosa Island last week, my stomach was growling. Not far from Beach Station is Good Old Days, a Halal -certified self-service eatery that whips up a variety of local dishes to visitors of the island. 

Delectable grilled sea bass with refreshingly sweet and sour soup! UPDATE (24/07/2019):  The restaurant has moved to IMM Building at 2 Jurong East Street 21. A relatively new player at Resorts World Sentosa, Shu Jiang Grilled Fish Restaurant does look grand from the outside. Its pseudo-underwater dining concept, coupled with its signature grilled fish cooked in an array of flavours, promises diners of a treat for the tongue and soul.

Quite a nice bowl of salad with chunky beef in front of the sea, but... UPDATE (05/10/2018):  The eatery has closed down. Situated along Siloso Beach on Sentosa Island, Mambo Beach Club draws its inspiration from the classic 1950s beach bars in Miami, the USA. Facing the ocean front, it serves not only cocktails, which I didn't try, but also snacks and main courses.

The most expensive biryani I've ever eaten thus far! :P UPDATE (01/12/2020):  The restaurant has closed down. Situated at the luxurious residential enclave that is Sentosa Cove, which has a feel of an overseas marina resort, Earl of Hindh aims to "bring the opulence, once enjoyed by the royalty of India, to those who've earned their right to it in modern times." There's even a big painting of, well, an earl. :P

One of the best, tangy salad dishes in the recent years! UPDATE (11/10/2020):  With the closure of Mövenpick Heritage Hotel, the restaurant has closed down as well. Have you heard about Mövenpick Heritage Hotel in Sentosa Island, which is just a stone's throw away from Imbiah Station? Housed inside the hotel is Tablescape, a chic restaurant with a delightfully relaxing ambience.

"Four iconic Singapore favourites in one satisfying platter!" UPDATE (12/07/2017):  The restaurant has closed down. Above is the description of the dish which really captured my attention when I was trying to look for a place to dine after roaming around Sentosa Island. Tastes of Asia boasts an enticing menu from Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam, but to give some examples.

My very first time with salted egg crab! UPDATE (01/10/2020):  The restaurant is still available within Resort World Sentosa, but has moved to #02-138 Festive Walk. Singapore Seafood Republic is a collaboration between four famous seafood restaurants here: Palm Beach Seafood, Tung Lok Seafood, Jumbo Seafood and The Seafood International Market & Restaurant. Nevertheless, do you know that the restaurant actually made its first foray in Tokyo, Japan in 2008?

Sweet and savoury peanut butter pie to end your meal! UPDATE (09/04/2020):  The eatery has closed down. Have you had the chance to visit the Maritime Experiential Museum, as well as the newly opened Marine Life Park situated within Resorts World Sentosa? I'm an avid lover of marine creatures, and thus I took the opportunity to visit the world's largest oceanarium which houses over 800 species. Following which, I dined at Fish & Crab Shack, a casual eatery offering Chinese and Western food.

Six course Chinese New Year dinner! :D UPDATE (17/06/2014):  I just went to Sentosa again yesterday, and discovered that Chinois has been renamed to Tung Lok Heen. I'm pretty sure that most, if not all, people think that a reunion dinner on Chinese New Year should be loud and cheerful. Since I'm a person who just wants to avoid the crowd and noise all the time, I purposely had mine with my eating buddy, as well as Pikachu and Melon last Friday instead at Chinois, a restaurant by a HK-born celebrity chef, Susur Lee, who migrated to Canada where he worked his way to become a renowned chef.

Big cherry tomatoes and small cheese balls on sticks! UPDATE (17/06/2014):  The eatery has closed down. Has anyone been to the iFly building in Sentosa? I once stepped my feet into, not to try the indoor skydiving though, but to go to the 5th floor where Skyloft Rooftop Bar & Restaurant runs a business. I went there for a Saturday brunch which menu is available daily from 11.00am to 6.00pm.

Value-for-money Chinese fast food! UPDATE (09/04/2020):  The eatery has closed down. October is here! Anyway, let's take a break from France stuff. Ruyi is a Chinese fast food eatery founded by the famous Tung Lok Group of Singapore. You could expect a wide variety of rice and noodle dishes in this particular eatery. I visited the branch at Resorts World Sentosa the other day for dinner.

"It's time to play with your food!" UPDATE (11/10/2019):  The restaurant has closed down. Why play? Read to find out more! Before I begin, actually the Sanpou Tonkatsu Ramen is said to be their specialty, but neither my friend nor I ordered that the other day. I shall save it for next time!
