Lime Restaurant @ PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering - "Hokkaido Treasures of the Sea" Buffet celebrates Rich Seafood Heritage of Hokkaido.

Lime Restaurant launches its first-ever "Hokkaido Treasures of the Sea" buffet theme, celebrating Hokkaido's rich seafood heritage. Available from 13 March to 26 April 2026 for dinner only, the luxurious buffet spread showcases prized Hokkaido ingredients through a range of creations, spanning both local and international favourites inspired by the region's specialities.

Hokkaido Scallop Carpaccio

Hokkaido Ramen Salad

To start, there are cold appetisers such as the exquisite Hokkaido Scallop Carpaccio, alongside the light and refreshing Hokkaido Ramen Salad.

Hokkaido Scallop Gratin

Miso Butter Salmon

Hot small bites include Hokkaido Scallop Gratin, Mini Lobster Sliders and Miso Butter Salmon skewers, offering comforting flavours with a touch of indulgence.

Stir-fried Baby Octopus

Crispy Hokkaido Pork Schnitzel

One of the highlights is definitely the selection of hot specialities. Local interpretations such as Assam Saba Fish and Stir-fried Baby Octopus incorporate familiar Southeast Asian flavours. Alternatively, the Crispy Hokkaido Pork Schnitzel offers a heartier European touch, with its golden, crisp breaded exterior encasing succulent pork.

King Crab Parmesan Wheel Risotto

On Friday and Saturday evenings, the feast gets even grander with the King Crab Parmesan Wheel Risotto, which was one of my favourite dishes of the evening. The warm, melted, sharp Parmesan enhanced the natural sweetness of the crab meat while adding an indulgent richness to every bite.

Unagi Claypot Rice

Another must-try is the Unagi Claypot Rice, which exuded a delightful hint of wok hei as I scooped into the fragrant rice.

Elevating the entire Hokkaido seafood experience is the Live Maguro Tuna Cutting. You can witness an up-close look at the skills behind preparing premium tuna, which then makes its way onto the table as freshly prepared sushi such as Negi Maguro, Uni, and Ikura.

Hokkaido Cheesecake

Japan Melon Panna Cotta

Desserts were equally sublime, featuring a spread of Japanese-inspired creations that were elegantly presented and pleasantly light on the palate. Notable highlights include the fluffy, spongy Hokkaido Cheesecake and the light, creamy Japan Melon Panna Cotta.

To further enhance the dining experience, guests may also opt for pairings from a curated à la carte sake menu. To mark the launch, diners can also enjoy 20% savings on bookings made for the first seven days of dining, from 13 to 19 March 2026.

FOC Restaurant @ Keong Saik - Reintroduced Signature Spanish Dishes That Defined A Decade in Singapore

FOC Restaurant has settled comfortably into its new home along Keong Saik Road, 6 months after relocating from its original space. The long-standing Spanish establishment continues its legacy of Catalan hospitality, serving bold flavours and refined plates that have defined the restaurant in Singapore for over a decade.

As the Lunar New Year festivities wind down, it’s a good time to take a break from reunion feasts and rediscover the vibrant flavours of Spain. With its cosy ambience, thoughtfully crafted dishes and well-balanced cocktails, FOC makes for a lovely spot for date nights, celebratory gatherings or a relaxed evening out.

Foie Gras Terrine & Ahrenka Caviar in Crispy Phyllo 5/5

Sea Urchin, King Crab & Tarragon Butter on Toast 3.5/5

We started the evening with two snacks. The Foie Gras Terrine & Ahrenka Caviar in Crispy Phyllo ($20 / 2pcs) was an instant highlight. The buttery foie gras terrine is sandwiched between a delicate, crispy phyllo shell and crowned with briny Ahrenka caviar. Each bite delivers a rich, indulgent contrast of textures that is crisp, creamy and luxurious.

Next was the Sea Urchin, King Crab & Tarragon Butter on Toast ($32 / 2pcs). While lighter in comparison, it carries a deep umami flavour from the sea urchin and sweet king crab, complemented by aromatic tarragon butter. It was enjoyable, though slightly overshadowed by the decadence of the foie gras bite.

“Huevos Rotos” Japanese Egg 4/5

Argentinian Prawns ‘al Ajillo’ 4.5/5

For tapas, we tried two classics. The “Huevos Rotos” Japanese Egg ($22) is served with crispy potatoes, Iberico ham, piquillo peppers and a light foam. Breaking the egg over the potatoes creates a comforting, creamy mix of textures. While the dish was enjoyable, we wished the smoky sweetness and spice from the piquillo peppers came through a little more prominently.

The Argentinian Prawns ‘al Ajillo’ ($32), on the other hand, was a standout. The prawns are cooked in a fragrant garlic sauce and paired with a spicy white bean emulsion that adds creaminess and depth. The sauce was so addictive that we happily mopped up every last drop with toast.

Seafood ‘Senyoret’ Paella 4/5

No Spanish meal is complete without paella, and the Seafood ‘Senyoret’ Paella ($54) delivers a generous spread of seafood including Carabinero red prawns, Hokkaido scallops and squid. The seafood was impressively fresh and sweet, and the flavours were well-balanced throughout the dish. We personally would have liked the rice to be slightly more al dente with a more pronounced socarrat (the prized crispy layer at the bottom), but overall, it remains a very solid and satisfying paella.

Suckling Pig with Cabbage ‘Trinxat’ 4.5/5

Another highlight of the evening was the Suckling Pig with Cabbage ‘Trinxat’ ($12 / 100g). The pork was incredibly tender, with beautifully crisp crackling skin that provided a satisfying contrast in texture. There was a slight gaminess to the meat, though the accompanying sauce and the earthy cabbage trinxat helped balance the flavours nicely. It’s a dish that showcases the richness and rustic charm of traditional Spanish cooking.

Flaming Grand Marnier Baba 4/5

To end the meal, we had the Flaming Grand Marnier Baba ($16) served with vanilla ice cream and confit orange. The dessert is theatrically finished tableside, flambéed with whisky while guests are warned about the robust alcohol kick. The baba itself is wonderfully soft and fluffy, soaking up the fragrant liqueur while remaining moist and airy inside. Paired with the creamy vanilla ice cream and citrusy orange, it makes for a lovely dessert to share.

FOC’s new Keong Saik space feels intimate, polished and welcoming. We were seated at the counter, which allowed us to watch the chefs in action, which is a delightful experience for food lovers who enjoy seeing the craft behind the dishes.

With its cosy atmosphere, attentive service and consistently well-executed Spanish cuisine, FOC remains a wonderful spot for special occasions, date nights or relaxed gatherings over good food and drinks. For those looking to visit during the day, FOC also offers a Weekday Lunch Promotion: a 3-course set lunch for $56++, with 1 diner free for every 4 guests, making it an attractive option for group lunches.

Sundae Royale @ Resorts World Sentosa - Chef Paul Pairet’s Nostalgic Playground for Artisanal Soft-Serve

Located right next door to Moutarde at Weave, Resorts World Sentosa, Sundae Royale is the latest venture by the acclaimed Chef Paul Pairet. Stepping into this space feels like revisiting a childhood dream, but with a decidedly premium and sophisticated twist. It is a playground dedicated to soft-serve ice cream and sweets, where nostalgic flavours are elevated through Chef Paul’s signature precision and original recipes.

All the mixes here are freshly homemade, reflecting a meticulous approach to both popular classics and the chef's own personal favourites. Whether you are looking for a quick icy treat or a sit-down dessert experience, Sundae Royale brings a unique, world-class craft to Singapore’s dessert scene.

The menu unfolds into several distinct lines: Simple Sundaes, Sundaes Liégeois (topped with homemade Chantilly), and the texture-heavy Sundaes Crunch. Every cup is freshly churned to ensure the perfect balance of smooth texture and bold flavour.

A few standouts include the Caramel-Butter-Soy Ice Cream, which offers a sophisticated savoury-sweet depth, and the Pistachio-Cherry Sundae, which provides a classic nutty and tart combination. For those who prefer something fruitier, the Mango-Raspberry Melba and Strawberry Trifle are vibrant and refreshing. Chocolate lovers shouldn't miss the Chocolate Liégeois, featuring a rich cocoa base topped with that luscious, airy Chantilly cream. It is a rare opportunity to experience an archetypal childhood favourite elegantly crafted with such culinary finesse.

Made fresh at the service counter, the Warm Churros are a must-try. Dusted lightly with sugar, they are served alongside a mini ice cream. The contrast between the hot, doughy pastry and the cold, melting soft-serve delivers the ultimate comfort hug. It’s a simple pleasure executed with high-level consistency. For those seeking a hint of the classic French café experience, Sundae Royale also offers an assortment of homemade pastries and viennoiseries. Paired with their classic line of coffees, it makes for a delightful afternoon pitstop in the heart of the city.

Overall, Sundae Royale is a polished addition to the neighbourhood, offering a playful yet high-quality take on soft-serve that will appeal to both kids and adults alike.

Drim Gold @ Resorts World Sentosa — Singapore's First Cave-Inspired Korean Steakhouse

Drim Gold marks a confident and polished addition to the dining line-up at WEAVE, the newest lifestyle and dining enclave within Resorts World Sentosa. What sets Drim Gold apart from its predecessor is sheer scale and ambition. This is Singapore's first Korean steakhouse to merge a dramatic, large-scale cave-inspired interior with refined modern Hanok architecture. You enter through a sculpted stone passageway, its textured walls and warm concealed lighting immediately slowing your pace, as if inviting you to leave the bustle of the island behind entirely. Inside, wooden frameworks, layered fabric panels, and raw stone surfaces coexist in a balance that feels simultaneously grounded and quietly luxurious. At its core, Drim Gold champions premium Korean produce, from prized Hanwoo beef to Jeju abalone, framed within a menu that balances indulgence with restraint.

Kimchi Scampi 4.2/5

Kimchi Scampi comprises two sashimi-grade scampi, arriving plump and glistening. A staff member torches them lightly tableside, just a quick pass of flame that barely kisses the surface. The scampi stays almost raw within, springy and sweet, with that fresh oceanic snap that only top-quality shellfish delivers. The kimchi XO sauce adds depth and umami, delivering a savoury punch without overwhelming the delicate shellfish.

Jeju Jeonbok Butter Gui4.2/5

Jeju Jeonbok Butter Gui comes with fresh Jeju abalone, gently seared in butter until just tender. Butter coats every surface in a glossy, golden finish, and a scattering of Parmesan cheese and roasted garlic melts into that fat to create a savoury, nutty glaze that clings with every bite. The combination sounds indulgent, and it is.

Korean Beef Cut – Hanwoo 4.2/5

An exclusive selection of premium Hanwoo Beef, chosen for its fine marbling and clean, refined flavour. Grilled simply, the beef shines with its natural juiciness and tenderness, delivering a depth of flavour that lingers without heaviness. This is Korean beef at its best, allowing quality to speak louder than technique.

Drim Prime Cut – Signature Galbisal 4/5

Iberico boneless ribs are grilled to reveal their signature nutty richness. Tender and juicy, with just enough char to enhance their natural fats, the Signature Galbisal is satisfying and comforting. While less nuanced than the Hanwoo cuts, it remains a crowd-pleasing option for those who enjoy a richer, meat-forward experience.

Condiments and Vegetable Wrap

A classic accompaniment done well, featuring ssamjang, kimchi and an assortment of fresh vegetables for wrapping. The condiments add balance and contrast, cutting through the richness of the grilled meats while allowing diners to customise each bite according to their preference.

DRIM Signature Noodle – Deulgireum Makguksu 4/5

Made with 100% buckwheat, the Deulgireum Makguksu cold noodles are light yet satisfying, coated in fragrant perilla seed oil that lends a gentle nuttiness. Give everything a good toss to fully release the aromas before digging in. A vegetarian option is available, making it a refreshing and inclusive way to round off the meal.

Korean Beef & Vegetable Hot Pot – Eobok-Jaengban 4.2/5

The Eobok-Jaengban is a generous platter of Hanwoo beef brisket and beef shank, gently simmered in a rich Korean beef broth. The result is comforting and deeply flavourful, with the beef becoming tender as it enriches the soup. Served bubbling at the table, it is both hearty and communal, ending the meal on a warm and satisfying note.

Overall, Drim Gold delivers a thoughtfully curated Korean dining experience that emphasises ingredient quality, subtle technique and polished presentation. It is a welcome addition to Resorts World Sentosa, appealing to diners seeking premium Korean flavours in a refined yet relaxed setting.

Note: This is an invited tasting.
