Town Restaurant @ The Fullerton Hotel Singapore - Experience Local & International Cuisine Sunday Brunch

TownRestaurant2

Sit back, relax and toast to a Sunday brunch at Town Restaurant, situated in The Fullerton Hotel. Guests get to enjoy delicious brunch staples like Egg Benedict alongside irresistible favourites such as Chilled Maine Lobsters and Scallops, Grilled Angus Striploin, Slow-Roasted Lamb Leg scented with Rosemary and Garlic, and more.

With the current ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, The Fullerton Hotel has set up rigorous cleanliness practices and safe distancing measures at their restaurants to ensure that diners can experience an enhanced level of protection. Guests will experience a whole new different way of enjoying buffets in these unprecedented times, as ala-carte dishes can only be ordered from the menu, which will then be freshly prepared by the chefs upon order and delivered to your table. But of course, dishes will be free-flow for the duration of the buffet!

TownRestaurant4
Chilled Seafood Delight 4/5

First, we kickstart the buffet with some crustacean delights from the starters menu. The Chilled Seafood Delight comprises a half Maine lobster, tiger prawns, half-shell scallops, snow crab legs and Venus clams.

TownRestaurant9
Omakase Makimono 3.8/5

We had the Omakase Makimono - with a selection of maki rolls including the lobster & avocado salad maki roll, spicy tempura ebi roll and California maki, as well as the selection of sushi which consists of Hamachi, Norwegian salmon, octopus and yellowfin tuna. While fresh Hamachi, Norwegian salmon, yellowfin tuna is served on the sashimi platter for the seafood lovers.

TownRestaurant6
Butcher Block Charcuterie 3.8/5

Moving on to the Butcher Block Charcuterie, it is a must-order for the cheese lovers for the mini platter of Parma ham, duck rillettes, saucisson, bresaola with freshly baked olive & rosemary focaccia.

TownRestaurant15
Lan Zhou Hand Pulled La Mian Noodles 4.2/5

TownRestaurant10
Traditional Malay-Style Grilled Chicken & Beef Satays 4/5

Not to be missed is the selection of their local favourites. The Lan Zhou Hand Pulled La Mian Noodles comes in a flavourful rich broth, with tender-braised wagyu beef cheek, Szechuan chilli, and scallion oil. We also had the Traditional Malay-Style Grilled Chicken & Beef Satays with Ketupat and chunky peanut sauce which adds a rich nutty flavour to the satays.

TownRestaurant19
Dim Sum Selection 3.8/5

From the dim sum selection, they have the Steamed Crystal Prawn Dumplings, Chicken Siew Mai, and the Hong King-Style Char Siew Pau.

TownRestaurant12
BBQ Hong Kong Roasts 4.2/5

From the BBQ Hong Kong Roasts selection, we had the Five-spiced Roasted Duck, Crispy Crackling Pork Belly, and Honey Glazed Char Siew. The tender roast meats are best paired with the Town Signature Tender-Poached Chicken Rice with house-made chilli and ginger.

TownRestaurant20
Spaghetti Vongole with White Wine Fresh Clams and Chilli 3.8/5

For something substantial, opt for their meats from the grill, as well as pasta and pizza from the Italian corner. The Italian classic of Spaghetti Vongole with White Wine Fresh Clams and Chilli was quite balanced with a light briny, garlicky aroma, and a subtle tinge of chilli.

TownRestaurant22
Grilled Angus Striploin 4.2/5

From the grill station, the Grilled Angus Striploin was one of my favourite dishes, which was cooked to perfect medium-rare doneness, and the addition of mousseline potato, smoked mustard and au just elevated the dish. Another highlight is the potato, which is made using premium french butter and sea salt for its superb smooth, buttery tones. We ordered additional Potato Mousseline, Broccoli Almondine, Roasted Champigon Mushrooms with thyme, and Signature Truffle Fries with Parmesan to go along with the steak as well.

TownRestaurant17

Because breakfast is an all-day luxury, go for their organic eggs done in 3 different ways, and accompanied with a choice of sides such as mini rosti, crispy bacon and chicken chipolata.

TownRestaurant23
Graham Cracker Key Lime Tart, Mango Pana Cotta & Exotic Macaroon Platter 4/5

We ended the meal on a sweet note with their Graham Cracker Key Lime Tart, Mango Pana Cotta & Exotic Macaroon Platter. Of the three, we fancied the Mango Pana Cotta the most for its lightly sweet but not cloying fruity flavours, as well as its soft and smooth texture. From the dessert menu, there is also an assortment of Nyonya Kueh, Classic Crème Brulee, selection of tropical fruits, cheese platter, and ice cream & sorbet available as well.

Beach Road Kitchen @ JW Marriott Singapore - The All New Chefs-On-Show Dining Sunday Champagne Brunch

BeachRoadKitchen38

Beach Road Kitchen at JW Marriott Singapore welcomes you back with their latest Sunday Champagne Brunch, featuring a new Chefs-On-Show dining format to elevate your dining experience. The roving live stations prepare food live by your table, including some tableside theatrics that one can look forward to.

BeachRoadKitchen26
Artisanal Cheese with Fig Jam and Crackers 4/5

Their Sunday Champagne Brunch costs $108 per adult, and with a $50 add-on, you are entitled to a free-flowing Moët & Chandon’s Grand Vintage 2012. With a glass of champagne in hand, the roving Gourmet Cheese Station entices me even more!

BeachRoadKitchen3
Chef's Salad 3/5

BeachRoadKitchen52
64-Degree Egg Benedict with Truffle 4/5

For a light start, we had some aesthetically pleasing Chef's Salad. Moving on to their 64-Degree Egg Benedict with Truffle, there is nothing not to love about it, especially given that the egg was exceptionally creamy.

BeachRoadKitchen8
Cold Seafood Platter 3.8/5

Before other hot dishes arrived, we were served a Cold Seafood Platter with poached prawns, Alaskan King Crabs, Poached Lobster.

BeachRoadKitchen16
Grilled Lobster with Herbs and Garlic 4/5

BeachRoadKitchen43
Iberico Pork 3.5/5

BeachRoadKitchen37
Seabass 4/5

From the Charcoal Grill, one of the highlights is definitely the sumptuous Grilled Lobster with Herbs and Garlic. Our Grilled Catch of the Day was Seabass, which was well done with crispy skin, and we enjoyed the Iberico Pork just as much.

BeachRoadKitchen44
Salt-baked Barramundi 4.5/5

One of the main tableside theatrics is this Salt-baked Barramundi that is flambeed right before us. Stuffed with aromatic ingredients such as kaffir lime leaves, the moist and tender flesh was perfumed with herbaceous notes.

BeachRoadKitchen46
Roasted Striploin 3/5

BeachRoadKitchen20
Slow Baked Salmon 4/5

From the Carving Table, the Slow Baked Salmon was one of my favourite dish of the day, and it outshone its counterpart Roasted Striploin with its crisp skin and tender flesh that was consistent on every order.

BeachRoadKitchen31
Chilli Crab with Mantou 3.5/5

Local delights are also the stars here, such as Chilli Crab with Mantou from the Wok Flambe station. The sauce was on the milder side, but it was quite balanced without being too sweet.

BeachRoadKitchen39
Lobster Laksa 4/5

I enjoyed the Lobster Laksa much more, not solely because of its luxe factor, but for its robust gravy which was light and flavourful at the same time.

BeachRoadKitchen58
Nasi Lemak Tart 4.5/5

For dessert, there is a range of sweets available in the menu. Still, I suggest leaving space for the roving dessert showcase which serves one of the most incredible desserts inspired by local dishes and flavours - Nasi Lemak Tart. It was sweet but not cloying, coconutty and spicy with the quintessential Nasi Lemak chilli layered in between. It was memorable.
