ONEº15 Marina – Festive Bites [MEDIA DROP]

ONEº15 Marina at Sentosa Cove is the prime leisure district of Singapore and it is Asia’s most desired waterfront leisure destination. My first visit to ONEº15 Marina was in 2016 for a media tasting event at WOKº15 Kitchen. Since then, we have returned a few more times to dine there, especially when we are having our staycation in Sentosa.

Festive Bites @ ONEº15 Marina 

This year, the culinary team at ONEº15 Marina has prepared three Festive Bites to complete your celebration this Chinese New Year.

The Cookies

Organic Pineapple Rolls made with Organic Pineapple, Himalayan Pink Salt and Elle & Vire Butter. This mini roll is an absolute joy to eat. Once you pop it in your mouth, the buttery crust slowly melts in your mouth, followed by sweet and juicy organic pineapple fillings and finished off with subtle Himalayan pink salt that balance the richness and sweetness of pineapple tart perfectly.

Orange Pineapple Rolls

Hei Bee Hiam Pineapple Tarts (limited edition). A unique creation, blending the sweetness of the organic pineapple paste with spicy umami hei bee hiam. Although they use bird’s eye chilli for the hei bee hiam, I find the spiciness manageable.

Parmigiano Reggiano Cookies. A European take on Chinese New Year snacks. This reminds me of Kastengel tart / Dutch – Indonesian Cheese Tarts, one of my favourite snacks during Christmas and CNY. Of course, ONEº15 Marina uses 24-month aged Italian parmigiano Reggiano, delivering a super umami flavour in addition to the crunchy texture of the cookies. A must-have for cheese cookie lovers.

Each of the Festive Bites is packed in a solid glass jar with a gold colour cap. A very luxurious presentation. The festive bite can be ordered individually or in a bundle of all three, known as The Auspicious Trio at $78+

Greenwood Fish Market Quayside Isle – Remarkable Seafood Dining Experience in Sentosa

NZ Littleneck Clams 

Greenwood Fish Market and Bistro (‘GFMB’) at Quayside Isle is a one of a must visit dining destination in Sentosa. Located in the most upscale residential district in Singapore, GFMB sure offers one of the best dining experiences in Singapore.

Greenwood Fish Market and Bistro at Quayside Isle

The best seat in the bistro is their outdoor seating. During our visit that evening, the weather is windy and slightly chilly, making it perfect to sit outdoors and enjoy the breeze. The rows of gorgeous yachts docked at the marina definitely amped up dining experience.

Part of the Seafood Market

Once you completed your order, they will serve you warm bread basket. It crisp and fluffy and absolutely beautiful with some butter on it. We actually want to order another basket, but we decided to stop as we got lots of food coming. Hint: The bread basket does not come with butter as there are olive oil and balsamic vinegar on the table, so you need to ask from the service staff.  

Bread Basket

First to arrive are the oysters. We have Sentinelles Speciale ($12 for 2) and Coromandel NZ ($8 for 2) as it was only LD and me slurping the oysters. Both oysters are fresh, sweet, plump and slightly briny. We are not oyster connoisseurs, we just enjoy our oysters.

Oysters - Sentinelles Speciale and Coromandel NZ

On Wednesday, GFMB has sashimi specials, Swordfish Belly Sashimi ($14.95), Yellowfin Tuna Sashimi ($11.95), and Salmon Sashimi ($11.95). Their regular prices are $19.95 and $18.95 respectively. We ordered three of them and they are huge and fresh. I am most impressed with their yellowfin tuna almost like the maguro grade sashimi. Awesome!!

Swordfish Belly Sashimi, Yellowfin Tuna Sashimi and Salmon Sashimi

Next up is NZ Littleneck Clams ($21.95). We wanted the mussels, unfortunately, they run out on that day. The clams were a good replacement, they are juicy, succulent with a touch of springiness to it. Meanwhile, the broth is buttery and exudes a nice grape aroma from the white wine. We ordered Regular Fries ($9.95) so we can dip with the broth, however, it came after we almost finish the clams.

NZ Littleneck Clams

Regular Fries

Seafood Chowder ($13.95). It is creamy, filled with solid essence from the seafood. The ingredients are generous; however, it was a tad heavy on the pepper.

Seafood Chowder

Since there are four people, we decided to share the main meal Seafood Basket ($38.95) and Whole Fish, Sea Bream – Grilled ($89.95). The fried seafood basket contains battered oysters, prawns, fish and scallops. Nicely deep fried, while it maintains the juiciness of the seafood. I overlook the part where it comes with fries, so at the end, we did not touch the fries here. Recommend for sharing.

Seafood Basket

The grilled Sea Bream is grilled to perfection. Nicely charred externally, while internally the flesh remains moist and flaky. It is served with mash sweet potato, baked vegetables together with truffle sauce and garlic butter sauce. Both the sauces are just Yummy and I actually dipped the some of the fried seafood into this sauce. Yum Yum.

Grilled Whole Fish - Sea Bream

The service staff here are friendly and provides good recommendation according to your likings. Making it a wonderful dining experience. Taking into account the location, the price of the food is reasonable.

Part of the Indoor Dining Area

Overall, Greenwood Fish Market and Bistro at Quayside Isle is definitely a dining destination that you must consider when it comes to seafood. The price, service and quality of the food are just remarkable. Cheers!!

It has now more than 120 F&B outlets, definitely has something to satisfy your discerning palate.

From those splendid selections, these few outlets are highly recommended by Chubbybotakkoala.com

#1. Wokº15.

Chilli Crab

Located at ONEº15, this Seafood & Cantonese restaurant is opened to the public. It served one of the best Chilli Crab that LD & I have ever tried in Singapore. The touch of sweet, tangy and spicy egg gravy was so addictive, each person needs about 2 to 3 fried mantou to polish the chilli crab gravy.

Golden Fried Man Tau

The rest of the dishes truly represent the Cantonese influence in the dish. The double boiled soup is a must order to start your meal. It is clean and nutritious broth will warm up your stomach in anticipation for the main dishes to come. Dim Sum is available on the weekend.

Double Boiled Japanese Chicken Soup with Himematsutake Mushrooms

To accompany the sumptuous meal here is the stunning view of luxurious yachts docked at the marina. It is a what I called Millions Dollar View.

#2. OSIA Seafood and Grill

OSIA Seafood and Grill earned its first Michelin Star in 2016. It is likely to retain this recognition with the strong collaboration between Celebrity Chef Scott Webster and Chef de Cuisine Douglas Tay.

Stone Hearth Flatbread

The highlights of the food here are their Stone Hearth Flat Bread, Stone Hearth Oven Grill Byron Bay Berkshire Pork and of course the to die for soufflé. On the first bite, the flat bread has a distinct crispiness in the crust, follow with moist, fluffy and resilient texture in the middle.

Byron Bay Berkshire Pork Rack 300 gram

The Berkshire Pork is in the class of its own. The cut is generously thick, cooked just right with slight pinkish in the middle but absent of blood. It is well seasoned, tasty, tender and succulent. It is so tasty that I almost did not touch the fresh hollandaise sauce. There is nothing much to say about the soufflé, except for you will regret it if you don't order.

OSIA Macadamia Soufflé

The portion served at OSIA is generous and suitable for family and communal dining. With the open kitchen concept, you can also have a peek at Chef Douglas Ng and his team at work.

Wokº15 Kitchen – Dining with Million Dollars View [MEDIA INVITE]

Wokº15 Kitchen

It is not very often you can dine in Singapore, with the sight of of a “boat” (all right, a Yacht) that cost more than your house in Singapore. Well, at Wokº15 Kitchen, the million dollars picturesque view is part of the package. While walking to the restaurant, LD and I had fun choosing which yacht we like most.

The "Boat" View

Wokº15 Kitchen is the flagship Chinese Restaurant by Oneº15 brand in Marina Sentosa Cove Singapore. With Executive Chef Chum Kar Ho leading the charge in the kitchen, expect to see the most exquisite Cantonese dishes. In case you are wondering, Wokº15 Kitchen is open to public.

The Kitchen Table – Food from The Heart Buffet

I have heard about the reputation of W Singapore through social media and other bloggers posting. So when there was for SPG member promotion (Starwood Preferred Guest) popped up on my FB page, there was no reason to delay our food adventure there. Food from The Heart Buffet 1 for 1* promo valid from Monday to Thursday dinner at $65++ per pax. Offer ends 31 March 2015.

The Drink Bar

Distance to W Singapore might be a turn-off for people who are not driving. Located at one end of Sentosa Cove, it take about a good 5 mins plus drive in from the Sentosa gantry. While driving towards the destination, we have to watch out for the multiple speed cameras. As I'm not familiar with the area, I drove like a turtle here, 40 km / hour. Meanwhile the Lamborghini and Ferrari who stays in the cove, zooming pass like nobody business. Gosh!!
