For this year's anniversary, we went for dinner at a very special place. A one-of-a-kind dining experience. What's more, it's by a renowned celebrity chef. Both B and I are fans of Masterchef and some other cooking shows, so imagine our excitement when we decided to dine at Ocean Restaurant by Cat Cora, the first female Iron Chef.
We wanted a seat just next to the aquarium but guess we made our reservations too late, 1 day in advance, and thus got the second row seats which were good too!
Our dinner items for the night…
Starter:
Tasting of oysters (warmed oyster tartare, bean sprout & sago; chilled ham cream & smoked paprika; yuzu-soy reduction & purple shiso ice)
The highlights of the dinner have got to be the mains.
Mains:
Seared Hokkaido Scallop (pumpkin bulgur wheat, sea urchin cream, pickled baby fennel, crackling pork skin & apple slaw)
Brine Cured Magret of Duck (yuzu puree, king oyster mushroom, sauteed wakame & pomegranate molasses)
We ended the night with some desserts.
And a must-take photo ;)
Although there are many photo opportunities, to upload on Facebook, sending them to your friends on WatsApp, it's the company that counts. Take some photos, keep your mobiles and enjoy the lunch or dinner with your dining partner(s). #firstworldproblems
This dinner at Ocean Restaurant was made possible partly because we had $200 dining vouchers from joining the RWS Invites. They have different welcome packages with a $150 annual membership fee. The initial reason why we got the membership was because of the hotel promotions. However, now that we are pass holders to Universal Studios Singapore, the Invites card is so important because of the privilege of redeeming all day parking with Invites$1.50. Invites$ are rebates earned at participating outlets.
