Seafood Bar

Our first stop was the fresh Seafood Bar, with choices ranging from Snow Crab Leg, Sustainable Boston Lobster, Pacific Clam, Half Shell Scallop, Sea Conch, and more. Our favourites were the sweet Snow Crab Legs, crunchy Tiger Prawns, and the plump Seasonal Oysters with an interesting selection of condiments, including hot sauce, Thai Nam Jim sauce and red wine mignonette.

IMG_8356
Handcrafted Meats & Antipasto

The Iberico Ham was a standout for us with its delicate, thinly shaved slices. The Handcrafted Meats & Antipasto station also featured a range of charcuterie, including Beef Salami, Chicken Ham, Pastrami, and more.

IMG_8465
Boutique Cheeses

The Boutique Cheeses section is truly a cheese lover's paradise. All sorts of cheeses were available, and you could create your perfect bite paired with options like dried fruits, assorted nuts, honeycomb, and cheese crackers.

IMG_8408
Breakfast Station

The popular live Breakfast Station offered a variety of eggs, including Omelette, Scrambled, Sunny Side Up, and the luxurious Lobster Egg Benedict. Pair your eggs with Rosti Potato, Chicken & Pork Sausage, Streaky Pork Bacon, and Grilled Tomato with Pesto for a complete breakfast experience.

IMG_8414
Hand-Stretched Pizza

There was even Hand-Stretched Pizza with different flavours available.

IMG_8405

IMG_8490
Live Pasta Station

We sampled the Squid Ink Linguine Aglio Olio and Truffle Creamy Mushroom Tortellini from the Live Pasta Station. Unfortunately, the linguine was underseasoned, and the tortellini was a bit too salty for our liking.

IMG_8406
Whole Golden Pig

IMG_8361
Singapore Chilli and Salted Egg Crab

Make sure to check out the Singapore Chilli and Salted Egg Crab, where free-flow fluffy golden mantou is available for the best pairing.

IMG_8399
Western Hot Station

At the Western Hot Station, you can expect hearty choices such as Baked Chicken Roulade with Creamy Mushroom Sauce, Pan Seared Sustainable Barramundi Fillet with Citrus Emulsion, Seafood Bouillabaisse and more.

IMG_8378
Local Delights

If you crave Local Delights, you can satisfy them with dishes such as XO Fried Rice with Shrimp, Wok-fried Kam Hiang Tiger Prawn and Samsui Kampong Chicken. I particularly loved the unassuming Stir-fried Beans with Minced Pork that was seasoned perfectly.

IMG_8368
Roasted Stall

The Roasted Stall offered Roasted Pork Belly, Maltose Honey Char Siew and Roasted Chicken, served with staples of rice, chicken rice chilli sauce, dark soya sauce and ginger paste.

IMG_8497
Edge Nyonya Laksa

The Edge Nyonya Laksa was nicely lemak. We also appreciated how you could add your preferred Yong Tau Foo to your bowl.

IMG_8391
Indian Cuisine

Indulge in a vibrant spread at the Indian Cuisine station, including Lamb Biryani Rice, Butter Chicken, Tandoori Tiger Prawn, various Naan, and more.

IMG_8468
Desserts

We were spoiled for choice with a stunning variety of Desserts. The intricately designed desserts came in a huge variety, including Tartlets, Macarons, Pralines and Trifles.

IMG_8430
Assorted Nyonya Kueh

IMG_8428
Assorted Ice Cream, Gelato and Sorbet

Finish on a sweet and refreshing note with the Assorted Ice Cream, Gelato and Sorbet with flavours such as Strawberry, Mango and Lemon Lime. We had the Strawberry and liked that it was creamy and wasn’t too sweet.

FYSH @ The Singapore EDITION - New Communal Seafood-focused Sunday Brunch by Australian Award-winning Chef Josh Niland

IMG_7613

FYSH at EDITION is unlike your traditional steakhouses and Sunday Brunches. Led by Australian Award-winning Chef Josh Niland, the restaurant adopts an ethical and sustainable approach to seafood, with a menu focused on "whole fish cooking." This approach also means that at FYSH, every part of the fish is creatively incorporated into the menu as much as possible.

IMG_7598

The FYSH Roast experience, available exclusively for Sunday lunch from 12pm to 2.30pm, offers a communal dining experience priced from $108 per person. Diners can also opt for Flowing Champagne packages, along with complimentary free flow coffee, tea, juices, and soft drinks.

IMG_7530

IMG_7541

Diners can choose between two distinct dining areas. The corridor seating offers a serene ambience surrounded by greenery and bathed in natural sunlight. In contrast, the main dining hall features dimmer lighting, creating a warmer and cosier yet elegant atmosphere.

IMG_7566

Our knowledgeable servers rolled the FYSH Trolley to our table, introducing the various fish and cuts that will be served during our meal. Depending on your group size, you can choose your preferred main dish, with options available for individual portions or group servings for two or four people. For a wider variety, I definitely recommend dining with a larger group.

IMG_7571
Charcoal Grilled Slipper Lobster 4.5/5

The brunch begins with five seafood starters. The Charcoal-Grilled Slipper Lobster stands out as a favourite for many of my dining companions and me. It's succulent and lightly seasoned, allowing its natural sweetness to shine through.

IMG_7580

IMG_7586
FYSH Egg Tart 4/5

The vibrant FYSH Egg Tart was another popular starter. The burst of briny trout roe in a crisp tart shell was delightful.

IMG_7574
Raw Amberjack in Royal Kombu 3.8/5

The Raw Amberjack in Royal Kombu might look ordinary, but it had a surprising slice of amberjack wrapped within crunchy and thick kombu.

IMG_7579
Abrolhos Island Scallop 4.2/5

Accompanied the fresh Abrolhos Island Scallop was an addictive housemade XO sauce.

IMG_7577
Swordfish Empanadas 4/5

The curry puff-lookalike Swordfish Empanadas had an appetising swordfish filling with a bit of spiciness. Make sure to pair this with the roasted garlic yoghurt.

IMG_7611

IMG_7655
Selection of Dry-Aged Wooloolaba Yellowfin Tuna 4.5/5

Next came a showstopper: the Selection of Dry-Aged Wooloolaba Yellowfin Tuna. This dish featured a dry-aged yellowfin tuna ribeye steak, merguez sausage, and glazed skirt steak, accompanied by various condiments such as parsley and shallot salad, Café de Paris butter, harissa, chimichurri, and tuna bone sauce. Not only was it a visual feast, but it also showcased FYSH's expertise in seafood and grilling. It was fun pairing it with a variety of condiments for different flavours.

IMG_7630

IMG_7637
Sides of Selection of Dry-Aged Wooloolaba Yellowfin Tuna

Alongside the yellowfin tuna, we were served a refreshing Salad of Ox Heart Tomato and Stone Fruit, as well as perfectly fried and seasoned Salt & Vinegar Onion Rings and Kombu Fries.

IMG_7625

IMG_7648
Butterflied Aquna Murray Cod 4.2/5

Roasted in the Josper grill, the smoky Butterflied Aquna Murray Cod was presented with a golden brown finish and surrounded with pressed roast potatoes, BBQ padron peppers, and BBQ tomato chimichurri. Recommended condiments here were herbs & shallot vinaigrette, and garlic aioli.

IMG_7636
Roasted & Glazed Free-Range Duck 4.2/5

If you are less into fish, the Roasted & Glazed Free-Range Duck would be the one to consider. The succulent slices of duck complemented sweet barbecued white peaches, chickpea & fennel seed panisse, sweet & sour radicchio and hazelnut & duck sauce.

IMG_7621
Line Caught Flounder on the Bone 4.5/5

The last of our mains was the Line Caught Flounder on the Bone with java brown clams, creamy celeriac purée and BBQ apple purée. The tender fish meat is finished with a buttery flounder bone sauce.

IMG_7616
Side of Line Caught Flounder on the Bone

On the side is a selection of mushrooms, black funghi and tangerine spinach.

IMG_7673
Apple Tarte Tatin 4/5

We moved on to desserts, starting with the Apple Tarte Tatin. This thin-crusted tart was served with celeriac custard.

IMG_7676
Chocolate & Murray Cod Fat Caramel 4.2/5

The Chocolate & Murray Cod Fat Caramel is a unique chocolate tart because it includes Murray cod fat caramel, which imparts a slight hint of fishiness. It may not be for everyone, but it definitely surprised us.

IMG_7668

IMG_7679
Tart Trifle of Red Fruits 4/5

Put together with rose cream, rose jelly and coconut, the Tart Trifle of Red Fruits should be your choice of dessert if you have a sweet tooth and are a fan of floral flavours. It was sweet and tangy and made an excellent conclusion to our meal.

Despite the mixed reviews online, we had a lovely dining experience that showcased an emphasis on sustainability. Guests can make reservations directly at www.sevenrooms.com/reservations/fyshsingapore, and it's best to come in a group to try more dishes.

LUCE's Roman-style Pinsas are a must-try, with eight selections available. Hand-stretched and served hot from the woodfire oven, they range from the classic La Margherita Classica and La Parmigiana to the Northern Emilia-Romagna inspired La Tartufata and La Mortadella.

Girelle di Pasta al Forno Emiliana 5/5

Luce52
Fettuccine Truffle Alfredo 4.5/5

The curation of pasta dishes will satisfy all paste lovers. From the Emilia-Romagna region, there is a baked pasta dish - Girelle di Pasta al Forno Emiliana. The texture of the pasta was on point, delectable with a stuffing of ricotta and mascarpone cheese, green asparagus, and brown butter. Spaghetti di Gragnano alla Bolognese is a rustic and homely dish featuring spaghetti coated in savoury beef sauce. Do leave space for Fettuccine Truffle Alfredo, fresh pasta cooked ala minute in a Parmesan wheel, complemented by Truffle Cream Espuma or Roman Carbonara Espuma.

Luce32
Assorted Meats 4.5/5

Live Stations are where you find savoury and succulent meats catering to all palates - Pollo Ripieno, a Tuscan-style rice-stuffed roasted chicken served with Nocellara olives, wild mushrooms and chicken jus.

La Salsiccia e Purea di Patata 4.5/5

Other Italian Specialties are aplenty too. Le Mascagnine di Carne in Umido is a flavourful handmade meatball in fresh tomato marinara. Le Costine di Maiale in Umido is an interesting dish that is new to me - Braised Pork Baby Ribs with Wild Mushroom and Red Wine Reduction. Dishes of more familiar flavours include La Salsiccia e Purea di Patata - Roasted Italian Sausage with Mashed Potato and Il Salmone al Vapore, a steamed Norwegian Salmon that is citrusy with Fennel, Dill and Sauce Vierge.

Luce37
Lotus Leaf Wrapped Glutinous Rice 4/5
