Grissini @ Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel - Promotional Menu Featuring Sustainable Wild Seafood From Pacific Northwest Seafood

As part of World Gourmet Summit 2021, Pacific Northwest Seafood will be featured on promotional menus across a variety of cuisines in several of Singapore's renowned restaurants. One of the collaborating partners is Grissini at Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel. It has put together a set menu at $158 per person featuring the black cod and dover sole from Pacific Northwest Seafood.

The set menu started with some complimentary bread and breadsticks, followed by three different appetisers.

The three appetisers are Gambero Kataifi, Salmon Cornetto and Proscuitto e Melon. I enjoyed the crispy vermicelli wrapped around the prawn topped with a savoury burst from the ikura. Served in an ice cream cone, the salmon cornette is a textural enjoyment, while the prosciutto e melon is a classic combination that will never go wrong.

Hamachi Carpaccio 4.5/5

Next course, I had the Hamachi Carpaccio paired with Oscietra caviar and heirloom tomato. The ponzu and basil oil brightens the  Japanese Amberjack sashimi.

Casarecce Al Sugo Di Merluzzo 4.2/5

To showcase the Black Cod from Pacific Northwest Seafood, the chef has incorporated the buttery meaty fish in the pasta dish - Casarecce Al Sugo Di Merluzzo. The perfectly cooked pasta in black cod ragu is deliciously addictive in the tomato-based sauce, crowned with a piece of the melt in the mouth black cod.

Sogliola 4.2/5

The next fish featured in collaboration with Pacific Northwest Seafood is the Dover Sole, known for its sweet, delicate and nutty flavour. I enjoyed the sweet sauce that is glazed on the beautiful fish accentuating the flavours. Accompanying the dish, we have green lettuce, maitake mushroom and seaweed at the side. 

Cachi 4.5/5

There is even a pre-dessert course using the Japanese Persimmon with honeymoon and sour cream - a fruity and refreshing pre-dessert to freshen up the palate.

Tiramisu Alle Castagne 3.8/5

For dessert, we had the Triamisu Alle Castagne. It is like having two desserts on a plate. The topping of chestnut cream on the ladyfinger reminds me of mont blanc. The sweetness of the chestnut cream helps to balance the strong flavour from the alcohol-soaked ladyfinger.

Petite Four

Finishing the set course meal is the Petite Four. The promotional menu featuring sustainable wild seafood from Pacific Northwest Seafood is priced at $158 per pax. It is available from 27 October to 6 November 2021.

Tien Court Restaurant @ Copthorne King's Hotel - New Chef New Menu With Weekly Dish Promotion Up To 50% Off

Probably not known to many, Tien Court Restaurant is located within Copthorne King's Hotel on Havelock Road. Recently, Master Chef Lui Wing Keung joined the restaurant and embraced a grand menu revamp. On top of that, the restaurant is championing sustainability to repurpose imperfect foods that would otherwise be discarded.

Deep Fried Glutinous Rice with Minced Chicken 4.2/5

The Deep Fried Glutinous Rice with Minced Chicken is delicately crafted in the shape of an adorable chick, playfully nestled in a bed of hay and crackered eggshells. It is too cute to be eaten. The first bite is crispy, followed by the chewy texture and the mouth-watering filling of savoury minced chicken.

Teochew Steamed Crystal Dumpling 4/5

Tien Court Restaurant has a delectable spread of dim sum items on the menu. A crowd favourite is the Teochew Steamed Crystal Dumpling with Dried Shrimp, Preserved Radish and Jicama. While I enjoyed the thin and translucent dumpling skin's chewy texture, the stuffing was too coarsely cut to complement it.

Frozen Marinated Cherry Tomato with Plum & Homemade Beancurd Roll 4.2/5

The Homemade Beancurd Roll is an off-menu special. Besides the soft interior, it has savouriness and crunchiness due to the mixture of tofu, prawn paste, carrot and water chestnuts. On the side is Frozen Marinated Cherry tomato with Plum, giving it a refreshing touch. Noteworthy is the used of ugly vegetable that is deemed unfit for supermarket punnet.

Double-boiled Fish Maw Nourishing Soup 3.8/5

The Double-boiled Fish Maw Soup is both nourishing and comforting. Diners can find soft tendon, fish maw and dried scallops in the rich and creamy and milky broth. As it uses chicken collagen, the flavour is not as intense as pork collagen. Diners can also add a dash of black vinegar to balance the richness.

Teochew-Style Oyster Omelette 3.5/5, Deep-Fried Oyster Fritter with Garlic and Chilli Powder 3.8/5

The Teochew-Style Oyster Omelette is topped with Deep-Fried Oyster Fritter with Garlic and Chilli Powder. It is a two in one dish. First is the plump and juicy oyster fritters on top, with a crispy and fluffy omelette on the bottom. It is best enjoyed with the piquant homemade chilli sauce.

Signature Braised White Teat Sea Cucumber 4/5

The Signature Braised White Teat Sea Cucumber is soft and bouncy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The complementing moreish abalone sauce raises the taste profile, which deep-frying provides extra textural enjoyment.

Stir-Fried Pork Shoulder with Chef's Special Sauce 4.2/5

The Stir-Fried Pork Shoulder with Chef's Special Sauce has a delightful bite for its leaner cut. Marinated in honey and black vinegar, it gives the pork a lovely sweet-sour profile. Frankly, I didn't have the addition of Japanese matcha powder served any possible. 

Signature Teochew Wok-Fried Hor Fun with Diced Kailan and Preserved Radish 3.8/5

The staple Teochew dish, the Signature Teochew Wok-Fried Hor Fun with Diced Kailan and Preserved Radish, is given an elevated touch with the addition of crispy Sakura prawns for added pops of umami.

Homemade Tau Suan 4.2/5, Signature Teochew Crispy Noodle 4/5

Wrapping up our dinner at Tien Court, we had the Signature Teochew Crispy Noodle paired with a refreshing strawberry vinegar sauce that sits light on the palate. However, my favourite is the Homemade Tau Suan with freshly grated orange peel, gingko and fried dough fritter with a sweet, citrusy fragrance.
