Savour, the gourmet food festival with all the Michelin-star and celebrity chefs, held at The Promontory @ Marina Bay this year. So with complimentary tickets, here are snippets of the event.
Tents housing the different chefs/restaurants
You have to purchase savour dollars in order to buy anything there. Buying $100 worth using stanchart credit card will earn you $10 more. Is $100 enough? Well, depends on your appetite. If you are going there with a (very) hungry stomach, then no.
Complimentary coffee, and you can choose the one you prefer π
From Stellar @ 1 Altitude
Meat Lovers Platter
Smoked Wagyu Ribeye (for some strange reason, we had a hard time chewing), Kurobuta Pork Knuckles (in another words – roast pork, which was pretty good) and Braised Short Ribs (which was oh-so-delicious). Honestly, Stellar is pretty good. Β I have tried the food before and I would still say the same. If you wanna give it a try, restaurant week is round the corner. Go for the lunch deals! π

Peeking at the kitchen
House Made Blood Pork Sausage w Apples, Tatin’s Tart Style
Other than saying this looks really photogenic, sadly we don’t really know how to appreciate it. It’s… strange. haha
Seafood at Jason’s marketplace
Absolutely adore this photo I took. So artistic π heh
Flavourerd Oysters Shooters
So amazing. Oysters were fresh and the taste was good.
Baked/Salsa
The oysters were just sweet and fresh
Probably the most crowded stall in the marketplace
What’s a meal without desserts?
Hands up for English Earl, no doubt.
Thoughts:
1. Go early. It helps. Lesser people, more seats. You get to meet the chefs and talk to them too, and also good lighting if you wanna take photos
2. I wouldn’t say it’s cheap. So be prepared to spend $6 for ONE xiao long bao. Expensive food, small palette.
3. Pack light. Insufficient tables. You probably end up standing around at a corner eating.
4. If you are still hungry after finishing your credits, just wander around in the marketplace. You will get what I mean… π
5. Ticket costs $55 for lunch and $75 for dinner (inclusive of $30 credits) if you buy it at the booth located at the entrance. I wouldn’t get it if I were you. It’s just crazily expensive.
And for those who already bought/going soon, have fun! π It’s an experience. Maybe you’ll meet someone famous there.
