The Roof Garden - Splendid Rooftop Dine and Wine

After an invite to The Roof Garden post dinner at the restaurant Quenino by Victor Liong and loving the idyllic and exclusive atmosphere here, I knew I had to especially come here for a dinner to just soak in that atmosphere while enjoying great food and drinks.

So after an online reservation, here I am, at early evening, surrounded by lush greenery, admiring the unblocked view of the city landscape around me, enjoying the cool gentle breeze, sipping on drinks and munching on delicious bar food.

Since the rooftop garden is more for enjoyment of the facilities and the view, the menu consists of selected light Bar Snacks, Flatbeard for sharing, Special Fried Chicken and lots of choices of drinks. Despite the limit on choices for food, the food options here are so good, it is still worth it for foodies, and of course more so for bon viviants like me who love enjoying great food with great ambience.

The long pool, the beach beds, stylish black and white rattan chairs with matching tables, yellow lights illuminating the surrounding plants and the beautiful landscape of the city as backdrop, this place feels so relaxing while having that upmarket vibe. I can just sit here for hours.

By the way, if you are not a guest of the hotel, like me, there is a need to make reservations to gain access to this exclusive rooftop bar.


New England Lobster Roll got me swooning in delight at first bite. It is so amazingly good. Half a butter-poached briny sweet lobster is soaked with the richness of melted butter. The slightly chewy texture of lobster juxtaposes in perfection with the crispy surface and soft moist interior of the toasted milk slider. Watercress and mayonnaise add that extra light kick to the taste. The pickled shallots is a brilliant addition to this dish. The refreshing zest and slightly crunchy texture plus a touch of vegetal pungency of the pickled shallots elevate the whole taste profile. This is a must-order because it is the best lobster bun.

Chorizo and Prawn Flatbread decked with paprika spiced chorizo, chopped local prawn and coriander is a very hearty treat. The main star is the local prawn, which is fresh and springy in texture, and marinated with local spices to hold so many harmonised flavours within.
