It’s a case of no holds barred at Resorts World Sentosa’s latest celebrity chef restaurant, Table65. With a fully open kitchen, you get to watch chefs at work right in front of your table. Helmed by Dutch chef Richard van Oostenbrugge of the Michelinstarred Restaurant 212 in Amsterdam, this “fine-casual” dining spot showcases modern European creations in a menu that refreshes regularly throughout the year.

Highlight bites: Go for the full works – the eight-course Experiential Menu ($218) – if you’re out to splurge. Otherwise, there’s a five-course Discovery Menu ($148) and à la carte options to pick from. A standout from our meal was the turbot with choucroute, smoked eel and black truffle, smoky oxidised wine and eel broth. This divine umami-laden dish is piled with heaps of freshly shaved black truffle on top of perfectly poached fish. Our hands-down favourite, however, was the duck with mole madre, a sweet-sour blueberry reduction and duck liver sauce. Made with locally sourced duck from Toh Thye San Farm, it’s bold, earthy and rich, yet exquisitely well balanced at the same time. Even if you’re stuffed to the brim, end the meal with the chef’s show-stopping “Apple” dessert (pictured above): gingerpoached green apple with salted caramel and puff-pastry, encased by an impressive hard sugar casing in the shape of an apple.

Psst… Head to the bar for pre- or post-dinner drinks! On top of a splendid cocktail list, there’s an attractive ladies’ night offer ($98 per person) on Thursdays, which gets you three courses and free-flow prosecco.
