Gourmet Park @ Resorts World Sentosa - Gourmet Food Truck Park Featuring Exciting Michelin-Starred Names

Gourmet Park is conveniently located just outside the main entrance of Universal Studios Singapore in Resorts World Sentosa.

This innovative food truck park concept was created to offer visitors, whether tourists or locals, a carefully curated selection of emerging food brands and Michelin-starred cuisine to savour.

The food trucks are lined on the circumference, each serving their usual signatures and/or dishes specially prepared only to be enjoyed at the park.

Other notable park highlights include the alfresco dining area, live DJ sets on weekend evenings, the intentional inclusion of vegetarian options at three trucks, and free entry for all.

Blue Lotus - Signature Chilli Pomelo Crab Meat Rice Bowl 4/5

Blue Lotus is most known for its modern Chinese creations. The first we had from them was their Signature Chilli Pomelo Crab Meat Rice Bowl ($19). Although a tad pricey, it was great to enjoy the crab meat without needing to peel, and we particularly enjoyed the heat and variety of spices packed in its chilli crab sauce.

Blue Lotus - Five Spices "Lu Rou" Kurobuta Pork Belly Rice Bowl 3.8/5

The second dish, the Five Spices "Lu Rou" Kurobuta Pork Belly Rice Bowl ($17), was decent, with chunky and well-braised pork belly on white rice.

The Kathi Roll Co - Butter Chicken Roll 4/5

At The Kathi Roll Co, dig into their range of Indian street food consisting of wraps, rolls and bowls. Our Butter Chicken Roll ($18) came with nicely spiced and tender chicken chunks, but we also found it quite pricey.

Kotuwa - Chicken Kottu 4.5/5

Kotuwa is a Michelin-starred name that focuses on traditional Sri Lankan cuisine. It was a unanimous nod of approval from all of us for their Chicken Kottu ($16). This elevated rendition of a Sri Lankan street classic features a mix of chopped roti, vegetables, chicken and a curry-like gravy. It was hearty with the perfect spice, richness and textures.

Chun Noodle Bar - Truffle Char Siu Noodle 4/5

The wanton noodles from Chun Noodle Bar are available in various renditions. We had the Truffle Char Siu Noodle ($13) that had egg noodles tossed in their housemade sauce, tender Iberico char siew and wantons.

Lavi Taco - Pulled Mushroom Taco 4.2/5

If you want a vegetarian option, check out Lavi Taco's Pulled Mushroom Taco (3 for $20 / 2 for $26). The tacos were generously filled with its well-textured mushroom filling, so much so that one of my dining companions didn't realise it was vegetarian till the end!

Luke’s Lobster - Lobster Roll 4/5

Luke's Lober's Lobster Roll ($27.60) uses lobsters from Maine, USA. Most would be familiar with them and their buttered rolls stuffed with your choice of lightly seasoned seafood.

QUEIC & Olivia Market - Olivia Cheesecake 4.8/5

Moving to desserts, I was so excited to spot QUEIC & Olivia Market's truck as they made my favourite cheesecakes! The prized Olivia Cheesecake ($14) has this amazingly oozy filling made of cream cheese and blue cheese, sat on a crunchy almond sable crust. It is so intense yet so well-balanced. I highly recommend this to all cheese lovers.

Spank My Dough - Artisanal Brioche Doughnuts 4.2/5

Grab more desserts from Spank My Dough, which specialises in Artisanal Brioche Doughnuts ($4.50 - $6.80/piece) produced in small batches daily and with piped fillings. The fluffy bombolonis are available in various flavours, including Vanilla Bean, Raspberry Cheesecake, Pistachio Cream, Blueberry Lavender Lemon and more.

With the wide variety of cuisine available here, there is something for everyone. Other brands not featured here include Blue Smoke, Coolhaus, Dickson Nasi Lemak, JAMBA, Mad Roaster, Quattro Pizza and Seafood Bar by Bleu.

Oishii Bar @ Frasers Tower - Experience The Delicate Craftsmanship of Tempura Through an Omakase Set Menu

Oishii Bar at Frasers Tower started as a Japanese and Italian fusion restaurant, Oishii Ristorante before it was rebranded in February 2023. Shifting the focus to bring authentic Japanese Cuisine to the diners, Chef Shigenari Sato decided to enrich your dining experience in Oishii Bar by offering Oishii Omakase Tempura.

Oishii Bar at Frasers Tower started as a Japanese and Italian fusion restaurant, Oishii Ristorante before it was rebranded in February 2023. Shifting the focus to bring authentic Japanese Cuisine to the diners, Chef Shigenari Sato decided to enrich your dining experience in Oishii Bar by offering Oishii Omakase Tempura.

The Appetizer was excellent, aesthetically plated with four petite dishes, each showcasing one of four core ingredients - onion, tofu, abalone, and eggplant. Chef Sato skillfully utilized various ingredients with distinct umami profiles to accentuate the subtle flavours of each element - Onion with mozuku seaweed and Junsai (Watershield) Jelly, Beancurd skin with Dashi sauce, Miso Eggplant with Dashi Jelly and Abalone with abalone liver sauce.

Ebi

Kisu

Ama Dai

We managed to try 6 seafood tempuras. I appreciate how Chef Sato prepared the Kuruma Ebi Tempura, a rich aroma with sweet shrimp. Instead of dipping the crispy ebi head into the tempura sauce, Chef Sato suggested we try it simply with salt. That allowed me to really taste the lightness of his batter. Amadai was tasty with the expected crispy scale, but it wasn't the best I had thus far. Kisu was interesting. It is lean white fish, but deep drying made it plump and juicy. It is pretty moreish, akin to eating Finnish Muikku.

Mehikari

Ika

Ika tempura certainly surprised me with its beautifully creamy texture. Another standout was the Mehikari fish, also known as the greeneye fish. Despite its exotic nature, it was delicious with a delightful, fluffy texture, enhanced by the thin tempura crust.

Anago

It was my first time having Anago prepared in tempura style rather than the usual simmering method, which brought out its suppleness even more.

White Asparagus

Maitake Mushroom

Sweet Corn

The Vegetable tempuras were simply delicious. Chef Sato's tempura batter excels at the quick frying process, sealing in the tenderness and juiciness of each ingredient in a thin, crispy crust. The Sweet Corn, sourced from Hokkaido, was the most memorable among them. Its intense corn flavour and sweetness were heightened since it was in season, with an almost buttery taste. Both the Maitake Mushroom tempura and the seasonal White Asparagus were equally delectable.

Rice

The highlight of Chef Sato's Omakase Tempura was undoubtedly the rice dish. Ours was similar to a Shrimp kakiage Tendon, crowned with an egg yolk tempura. Bursting the yolk tempura open was immensely satisfying, watching its creamy yolk lava ooze onto the contents below. Finished with a drizzle of tare, the shrimp kakiage took on a slightly chewy texture, and every bite was filled with the satisfying crunch from the plump shrimps, diced to perfection for the full experience. The rice was pearly and fragrant, and the dish wouldn't be complete without it.

Dessert

Dessert showcases one of Japan's best produce - fruits! Both the melon and pear were sweet and refreshing.

Each session will be in an intimate setting, with a limit of 6 persons for Lunch and Dinner service. Hence, Reservation / Rescheduling / Cancellation needs to be done 5 days in advance.
