We made a last minute booking for the pre-theatre dinner (starting from 6-7pm) at Guy Savoy in Singapore. We arrived right at 6 and they were still getting the restaurant ready for the evening, we sat for around 10-15 minutes in the loungue area and the staff brought us some small bites while we waited.

Lunch at the Singapore outlet of the Mario Batali & Nancy Silverton casual pizzeria in the Marina Bay Sands shopping centre in Singapore. It is located adjacent to Osteria Mozza which is slightly more upscale. Was extremely busy on the day we went and we could only get a couple of seats at the bar. […]
As mentioned in the previous post, Jean-Luc Rocha was the second guest chef at Bilson’s in January 2011. Rocha is in charge of the 2 Michelin star Cordeillan-Bages in Pauillac, France.

Went on the second night of his one-week guest stint here. The restaurant was probably about half full. Served a […]
