Singapore Food Tour

I decided to stop over for a few days in Singapore on the way back to London from Perth, and dived into the amazing food offerings. Singapore truly is one of the ”food” cities of the world, with such a variety of great food ranging from cheap and tasty hawker meals through to fine dining and everything in between.

The first night was a nine course dinner at three-Michelin star chef Santi Santamaria’s new restaurant “Santi” at Marina Bay Sands. This was seriously amazing food.

Update Mar 2012.  Shortly after the untimely death of Santi Santamaria, Santi in Singapore closed down, with his family deciding to focus on the Spanish restaurants.  Condolences to Santi’s family.

Santi’s version of potato chips which came out while deciding which menu option to choose. It came with an interesting and tasty aioli.

There was a selection of 6 or 7 different breads that they brought out. my favourite was the olive focaccia which is the one in this photo.

I cannot remember exactly what the appetiser was. The fish was tuna.

Octopus salad with baby beetroot, yoghurt and white truffles.

Tomato salad with oyster escabeche, roasted peppers and iberico ham.

Chestnut cream soup with egg confit and chanterelle mushrooms. My favourite dish of the night.

Artichoke and cauliflower rice with crustaceans and cava butter.

Market fish (tonight it was snapper) with calcots, Japanese corn and red wine sauce.
