Hoshino Coffee @ Bedok Point - Launches New Dinner Set Special With Series Of Special Selection Items

Known for its large selection of Western-Japanese food, Hoshino Coffee Singapore recently launched two new outlets at OneKM Mall and Bedok Point. To celebrate the opening of its new outlets, Hoshino Coffee launches a series of new special selection items. As part of the Hoshino Coffee Dinner Set Special (worth $60) for 2 pax, diners can pick any 2 main dishes, 2 drinks, and 1 dessert from more than 60 items in the main menu. Expect new dish offerings such as the Softshell Crab Aglio Olio, Softshell Crab Rice, "Omu" Souffle Curry, Mentaiko Carbonara, Ginger Chicken Spaghetti, and Pancake Souffle Style with Strawberry (Seasonal).

Ginger Chicken Spaghetti 4/5

One of the newest dishes in the menu, the Ginger Chicken Spaghetti ($16.80) features al dente spaghetti noodles with generously portioned chicken chunks. Somewhat a reminiscent of a traditional chicken rice dish, yet infused with a western element as spaghetti is used here instead of the usual chicken rice. Although the chicken meat is a tad dry, it is well-seasoned with a aromatic ginger fragrance.

“Omu Rice” & Angus Beef Steak Plate 4/5

“Omu Rice” & Angus Beef Steak Plate ($18.80) features generous juicy beef slices with tomato omelette rice. Served medium rare, the angus beef steak is pinkish in the middle, and boasts a tender consistency, while the omelette is soft and fluffy.

Pancake Souffle Style with Strawberry 4/5

End your meal on a sweet note with the Pancake Souffle Style with Strawberry ($12.80) which consists of a double layer of thick pillowy pancakes soaked in fresh cream, and topped with strawberries as well as a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The dish plays out a perfect tangy-sweet balance with the fresh berries and ice cream, while the fresh cream added some moistness to the pancakes which have a drier texture. Do note that the dish takes about 20 minutes to prepare, so it’s best to let the service staff know in advance once you are ready to have it served.

Atrium @ Pan Pacific Singapore - Launches New Weekend High Tea Buffet With Peranakan And English Delights

Atrium at Pan Pacific Singapore launches a new Weekend Afternoon Tea Buffet, which takes places on every weekend from 2:30pm to 5:30pm, where it will feature a variety of English and Peranakan signatures, enhanced with Nyonya highlights dishing out at live stations helmed by Pan Pacific Singapore chefs.

Served on a 22-metres long bar, diners can literally take a trip down memory lane with the nostalgic Peranakan signatures, such as the Nyonya Kueh, and Heritage Coconut Scones with Kaya and Pineapple Jam.

Not to be missed are all-time favourites – the D-I-Y Kueh Pie Tee. Make your own Kueh Pie Tee by your crispy tart shells with cooked turnip, vegetables, egg yolk and fresh shrimps.

The Nyonya Chicken Curry with French Baguette has a thick coconuty aroma with flavourful chicken and potato chunks. Best paired with the crispy French Baguette. Diners can also pop by the live stations serving Popiah with Sweet Turnips and Condiments and the hearty Pacific Lobster Laksa, a recipe created by the resident Nyonya Chef Nancy Teo.

Apart from the classics, delve deeper into the Orient with the unique East-Meets-West dishes where the chefs infuse Peranakan ingredients and spices into dishes. Expect Peranakan Pork Sausage with Achar, Otah Quiche, Ayam Panggang Skewers to excite taste buds.

Those who prefer a quintessential English afternoon tea can look forward to a curated lineup of finger sandwiches such as the Organic Egg Mayonnaise English Cucumber Sandwich.

Indulge in savoury delights including Roasted Beef and Apple Remoulade on Ciabatta, Norwegian Salmon and Fruit Puree on Malt Toast and Foie Gras Terrine and Fig Marmalade on Brioche.

Not to be missed is the Mini Wagyu Beef Sliders, which feature mini-sized tender beef meat with melted cheese in between pillowy slider buns.

Round up the weekend high tea with a plethora of petite sweets such as the Blueberry Cheesecake and Strawberry Pistachio Shortcake. Starring the cake of the month (April) - Matcha Opera Entremet. The cake flavour changes every month to excite tastebuds, so you will be in for a surprise with something different served in the following month.

One of my favourites is the fragrant and fluffy Pandan Gula Melaka Chiffon Cake, which is made using fresh juice extracted from pandan leaves and authentic Gula Melaka from Malacca. Expect intricate and delicious desserts such as the Araguani Hazelnut Royaltine Entremet as well.

Among the various sweets available, the buffet line also features a series of colourful macarons and homemade Bonbons with different flavours. It incorporates the bright colours, intricate beading and rich embroidery to reflect the elements of the Peranakan culture.

The Nostalgic Weekend High Tea Buffet comes with two beverages of your choice. New additions to the beverage menu include two special cold brew teas – the Earl Grey infused with Orange and Cinnamon and Chamomile infused with Berries. For those who prefer the freshly brewed tea or coffee, pair the delectable canapés with a range of TWG teas or Lavazza coffee.
