Lunch at Pool Grill @ Marriott Hotel


320 Orchard Road, Level 5, Marriott Hotel Tang Plaza, Singapore 238865
Tel: 6831 4605



Being a lover of anything facing the sea, pool, pier or marinas, it wasn't surprising that I would stumble upon Pool Grill at Marriott Hotel.


A casual elegant alfresco dining concept hidden on level 5 of Marriott Hotel, done in all white and set against a deep cobalt blue pool - the setting was romantic, and breathtaking. We had the perfect weather that allowed for enjoyment of the gorgeous pool view - cloudy and cool, no cutting glare from the glisten of sun-hit water surface.



Service was impressive from start to finish, polite crew attentively ensuring that we had a good dining experience, and understanding the guests' needs impeccably.

Items on menu consisted of starters, soups, pastas, poultry and of course their signature grilled items. Drinks and wine lists were pretty comprehensive as well.





We started with drinks, naturally. Iced Mocha (SGD $10.50) was described to be deliciously redolent with chocolate infusion. My Mojito (SGD $9.90) was a refreshing drink with the right hints of mint and sweetness. It looked so pretty and clear.



Their bread was served with interesting dipping platter of Butter, Olive Oil with vinegar and a crushed Nutty dip.



Grilled Asparagus (SGD $10.00) with shaved parmesan and balsamic reduction was a good appetizer; I never thought to pair asparagus with parmesan- the combination of its luscious crunch against the salted cheese was brilliant.



Pan-fried Cod Fish (SGD $38.00) was served with cauliflower tempura and confit garlic, with Shiraz reduction. Lightly crispy around the edges, the sweet freshness of flesh flaked off like snow, bouncy to the bite, and melting in the palate brilliantly.



From the grill items, we selected Grilled Tiger Prawns (SGD $39.00); that was 6 tiger prawns, around 240grams in total. The seafood was served with a single very-sweet vine cherry as well as Dragoncello butter on the side. Loved the smokiness that filled the prawn's natural luscious flesh, and the crunch of its springy freshness.

Overall, we enjoyed our lunch here very much, tranquil and beautific, with good service as well as palatable food. I can easily imagine brunching at this beautiful place as well, and shall try it out soon.

Dinner at Golden Beach Seafood Paradise @ Changi Beach Club


2 Andover Road, level 2, Changi Beach Club, Singapore 509984
Tel: 6542 7720



Decided to have dinner with the family one weekend, with the poolview-facing front and sea-surrounding everywhere else. The ceiling-to-floor glass windows made it possible; one felt like they were dining in the middle of the sea.




The interior decor was spacious and simple in design; uncluttered, fuss-free, neat. Menu was mainly Chinese cuisine - soup dishes, array of seafood, vegetables and polutry. Service was decent; staff appeared diligent but seemed to lack product knowledge.



We started with Crispy Fish Skin (SGD $6.00) for appetizers (they also served Braised Peanuts which I did not photograph).



Prawn Paste Chicken (SGD $8.00) was up next - crispy on the exterior and crumbled readily in the mouth, with succulent flesh.



Then it was Sauteed Scallops with Broccoli (SGD $22.00), crunchy and fresh brocooli stalks with mid-sized, springy scallops, gently sweet-flavored.



Following that, we had Spare Ribs (SGD $16.00) served with vegetables and Onion Rings on the side. Spare Ribs looked rather Westernized-style, huge pieces of juicy, tender ribs marinated with honey. The onion rings were all batter and very little onions detected though.



Half Roasted Chicken (SGD$16.80) was moistened, with crispy skin and served with prawn crackers. We enjoyed the succulence of the flesh.



Finally, Fried Ee-Fu Noodles (SGD $12.00) with chives and shimeiji mushrooms, well-oiled but not greasy; tasty even with the barest of meatless ingredients.

The Bro and SIL, who have dined here before, also recommend Peking Duck, Salted Egg Bittergourd and Wasabi Prawns. Overall, the dining experience was pretty pleasant, with decent dishes and gorgeous seaviews.
