DUTCH HIRAMASA YU SHENG AND FRENCH SUCKLING PIG

Ocean Restaurant

When it comes to being environmentally conscious, it’s best to put your money where your mouth is – at this underwater dining establishment helmed by Chef de Cuisine Marvas Huang, who proudly uses sustainable and responsibly sourced ingredients. The stars in its five-course modern Asian dinner set this festive period are the Dutch Hiramasa Yu Sheng showcasing Marine Stewardship Council-certified fish paired beautifully with daikon, yuzu, pomelo and honey, as well as a very refined French Suckling Pig served with kumquat, mustard, cherries and hoisin jus. Other courses also feature guinea fowl and sea whelk imported from France.

CHOCOLATE KOI

Singapore Wish good fortune upon your loved ones with a gift of these beautifully handcrafted Chocolate Koi. The colourful fish, which symbolise good luck and abundance, are filled with crunchy Praline Feuilletine and candied orange, coated in single-origin Équateur 76 per cent dark chocolate and artfully hand-painted in vibrant, natural colours. The koi come in a pair and are housed in an exquisite gold glass box to resemble a koi pond. Visit janicewong.online or the retail stores located in Raffles City and Paragon.
