Beach Road Kitchen @ JW Marriott Singapore South Beach - The Art Of Afternoon Tea in Collaboration with Nespresso

In celebration of Earth Day on 22 April 2022, Beach Road Kitchen at JW Marriott Singapore South Beach has collaborated with Nespresso to launch The Art of Afternoon Tea ($40++ per person). Guests will find Nespresso-centric savoury treats and coffee-infused sweets. The Afternoon Tea is available every Saturday and Sunday 3.30 pm-5.30 pm for April and May 2022.

Before diving right into the main course, enjoy their warm entree of Lobster Bisque and Quiche Lorraine, included in the afternoon tea set.

Indulge in coffee infusion treats such as the Chocolate "Origin Brazil" Duck Rillettes and Foie Gras "Origin Peru Organic" Tart for savouries.

The local favourite kaya toast inspires the Truffle Kaya "Guatemala" Toast. The coffee's elegant bitterness balances the sweetness from the kaya spread.

Another of my favourite is the Lobster Tartare with a crispy charcoal shell and the Salmon Tartare with pesto cone.

The sweets selection was both a visual and sensory pleasure. My favourites include the Vanilla "Origin Guatemala" Coffee Caramel Tart, Latte "Peru Organic" Gateau, and Origin Peru Organic Coffee Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse. The melt in the mouth Origin Peru Organic Coffee Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse stood out for its luscious creaminess, neither too sweet nor bitter.

Coffee-infused sweets include the Raspberry Coffee Praline, which is punchy and robust in its fruity aroma without overpowering the coffee's bittersweet notes.

Take a break from the caffeine loaded treats with the Pistachio Strawberry Swiss Roll and Lemon Almond Gateau, which are equally delicious.

Enjoy the quintessential Scones in plain and tomato flavours, served with clotted cream, lemon curd, and raspberry rose jam. However, we found the scones a tad dry and lacking in the buttery taste.

End the afternoon tea on an even sweeter note with their Softserve Ice Cream with berries. We had the yoghurt flavour, which is superbly creamy and has a nice tangy-sweet flavour.

Una Una @ Vivocity - 8 Outlet-Exclusive Unagi Surprises With Prices Starting From $12.80

Una Una has recently opened its third outlet at Vivocity. Known for its best-value charcoal-grilled unagi, it now includes 8 outlet-exclusive unagi dishes with prices starting from just $12.80.

Unagi Hokkaido Pork Hitsumabushi 4/5

You may go for Unagi Hokkaido Pork Hitsumabushi ($22.80) for something more hearty. You get chargrilled Hokkaido pork belly paired with signature unagi glazed with Chef's secret sauce. I find this pairing extremely satisfying, with both ingredients deliciously unctuous.

Unagi Ikura Don 3.8/5

Unagi Hitsumabushi 4/5

Unagi Ikura Don ($32.80) is a relatively pricier item on the menu, where the bowl comes brimming with ikura pearls. It was tasty for sure, but at this price, I would prefer to stick with its bestselling classic Unagi Hitsumabushi ($16.80/Medium). At Una Una, all unagi is freshly grilled over charcoal using a double-dipping technique. They are basted with special in-house sauce and grilled over controlled temperature twice for about ten minutes. The beautifully caramelised exterior of the unagi forms one of the best parts of the dish.

Una Una Kaisen Roll Sushi 2.5/5

There are also smaller side dishes, such as the Una Una Kaisen Roll Sushi ($24.80). It was merely passable. The best is to stick to the classic.
