From 01 November to 08 November 2015, Sheraton Towers Singapore will collaborate with Guest Chef Markus Peter Dybwad to present a Norwegian seafood extravaganza using various Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certified produce. Working with the culinary team at Sheraton Towers Singapore, Chef Markus has specially curated a series of menu for DOMVS, The Italian Restaurant (1-4 Nov) and The Dining Room (5-8 Nov).

Sashimi 4/5 and Canapes 3.5/5

I am privilege to be given a glimpse of what to expect from the week long Seafood Fete from Norway. Starting from the The Dining Room, the buffet spread will offer the finest and freshest seafood from the cold, clear waters of Norway, best showcases in the purest Sashimi form. For some light bites, we had a variety of Canapes that once again highlighted the seafood.

Lobster Bisque 4.8/5

This is not your ordinary Lobster Bisque. The robust flavour of the lobster bisque is further accentuated with a hint of spiciness. This has set a new benchmark for me.

Salmon Trout Carpaccio with Horseradish and Roe 4.2/5

At DOMVS, The Italian Restaurant. Chef Markus has created a 3-course Set Lunch ($52/pax), 5-course Set Dinner ($90/pax) and a White Truffle Wine Dinner ($168/pax). The white truffle wine dinner is only for 4 November 2015.

The clean taste of the Salmon Trout Carpaccio, paired with the horseradish and roe was beautiful on the palate with occasion tickling from the heat of the horseradish and popping surprises from the roe.

Atlantic Cod with Polenta and Sage Jus 3/5

I have mixed views on the Atlantic Cod with Polenta and Sage Jus. The poached Atlantic cod has an interesting texture that is quite similar to scallop. The whole execution was a bit one dimensional for me. I felt that it needed some tanginess to zest up the dish and bring out the flavour of the fish more.

Panna Cotta with Lingonberry and Sago 4.5/5

The Panna Cotta with Lingonberry and Sago was the perfect ending for the night. There were so many different textures and flavours at play here. I was already quite full and I was telling myself to just have a scoop or two to try but I ended up cleaning the whole plate.

For the first 8 diners to enjoy the Seafood Fete from Norway promotion, Sheraton Towers Singapore is giving away a 500g Norwegian Smoked Salmon each. Terms and Conditions apply.

Sugalight @ The Rail Mall

IMG_2765ed

One of my greatest weaknesses is towards ice cream. Once I started on a pint tub, I can simply go on and finish it in one go. Leaving me feeling sinfulIy guilty. I first get to know Sugalight back in my early days when I started blogging. Sugalight is a guilt-free ice cream, made without sugar and cream. It is some sort of a reunion with Sugalight as it has moved to the west at The Rail Mall, while I also re-located to West Coast.

Sugalight ice cream is made from a special recipe that does not use sugar. It is sweetened with premium natural sweeteners including Xylitol and Stevia. Xylitol has zero net carbs, prevents tooth decay and does not cause dangerous spikes in diabetic blood glucose. As no cream is used in the recipe, it is naturally low in fat and cholesterol. Compared to other premium ice creams which contains around 17% fat and cholesterol, Sugalight ice cream only has 9%. Lastly it contains beneficial prebiotics to help maintain a healthy digestive system.

At Sugalight, it offers an eclectic selection of more than 21 flavours ranging from standard to premium flavours.

Premium - Bailey's Irish Cream, Italian Hazelnut, Jamaican Rum Raisin, Mao Shan Wang Durian, Strawberry Cheesecake, Valrhona Chocolate

Standard - Cappuccino, Caramel, Chocomint, Coconut, Cookie Monster, Madagascan Vanilla, Mango Sorbet, Marvellous Milo, Matcha Green Tea, Purple Yam, Pulut Hitam, Roasted Black Sesame, Rocky Chocolate, Strawberry Bliss, Very Berry Drizzle

Sugalight has also recently created 4 new flavours in Froyo Vanilla, Champedak, Young Coconut Sorbet and Soy French Dark Chocolate.

So how do I personally find Sugalight? Compared to many other ice cream places, the ice cream at Sugalight is lighter in texture and not as sweet. Without the use of cream, it is not as creamy too. Nevertheless, it seems to bring out the distinct flavour of the ingredient more. Weighting on the health benefit, the difference may be insignificant, especially for diabetic patient.

If you are planning any corporate function/event, party or charity event, Sugalight can setup ice cream booth complete with friendly scoopers to cater for your requirement. For more details, please contact Sugalight.
