Welcome to Boat Quay. Looking for Fine Dining places?

The 5 or 7-course Matera Journey menu is one of my top picks for fine dining so far this year. With influences from Chinese and Japanese cuisine, you will not find a second modern Italian dining experience like Matera. The 7-course meal starts off with hot and cold snacks before the first course of La Lune Oyster with an egg pudding, similar to a chawanmushi. It was followed by a foie gras with toast and chrysanthemum jelly before the Hokkaido abalone with dried vegetables that is chef kissed.

The restaurant’s signature dish of Dumpling that contains juicy and plump red prawn and paired with an umami XO sauce with a side of prawn toast. The pigeon with cevennes onion course is cooked perfectly without any gaminess before the entree of wagyu beef with morel with an accompanying side of rice donabe with cheese. It was a spectacle sweet ending with the Japanese melon with limoncello, burrata and tofu ice cream.

Dessert: I topped up for Japanese Melon which was a sorbet ice blend made with lemoncello over tofu ice cream and burrata creme 💗 This was 💯👍 sweet refreshing with layering texture ✨awesome.
EVERYTHING ELSE:
Pasta dish is too small a portion for my liking 🥲 small till i can’t really taste the flavor of the dish…
…
Main course was the Kimedai - a common fish choice after a few restaurant visit ‘oops’ - simple sauce pairing, skin was crisp well done but no wow factor.
…
Petite Four: another mala but in the form of bourbon artisan chocolate, fancy pineapple tart and red bean mooncake for the festive season. hm it’s ok but not my favorite.
…
Overrall, an option for a more price-friendly fine-dining experience with really nice views of the singapore river but will hope to see more refinement and volume to the menu for a return visit 😊

Foie Gras was the best fine-dining creation in the menu for me - worthy of the price point✨ beautifully done with the pudding-like foie gras paste paired with truffle, sweet grapes and elderflower touch ✨ with bread stick on the side to balance out the intensity.

💡: I like their menu pricing which ranges from $78+ (2-course) to $268+ (6 courses) and slightly customisable with add-one 👍
📍:
💰: $ 138+ (4 course) add on $18 for japanese melon✨
…
Canapés started with Mala-style Kalamanta Olives which tbh wasn’t my thing 🥹 olives is not a very popular favorite i feel among asians and tbh the mala couldn’t save it for me🥲 another is the Parmesan Cheese Ball along with citrus mayonnaise sauce which is a better hit for me but not that unique.
…
Amuse Bouche : Tartlet is 💯 finally feel like an experience to start with the use of refreshing pomelo. The focaccia bread was a pass for me too with the array of flavored olive oil (lime etc. )👍

Tried this in the lunch omakase menu. Oh boy, it wow me so much that it deserve a post! I will definitely head back next time to try their sushi omakase next👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Finally gave a try to the lunch omakase at Shinzo, this was my first visit and i am very satisfied with the sushi and sashimi quality here. I would highly recommend their sushi omakase as i think their sushi offerings are more delectable. The sushi here managed to WOW me and all dishes are served according to your eating pace 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Luxurious log cake that had decadent layers of chocolate within each slice of this cake. The blackcurrent in the middle with a jam like texture injected a tinge of sourness which neutralise the sweetness from the chocolate. Overall, the chocolate was rich, of great quality, and not to sweet at all. Simple but great dessert to end off a festive meal!

Rate:🌟🌟🌟🌟

Fullerton have rolled out festive treats such as three new festive log cakes - Japanese Marukyu Matcha Yuzu Log Cake, Mango Medley Yule Log Cake and Vanilla Mont Blanc Yule Log Cake ($75 each).

Featuring the Mont Blanc which boast a luscious composition of vanilla creme chantilly, vanilla praline and candied sabaton chestnut. It’s surprisingly light and even after finishing a slice, leave you wanting more.

Take a bite of the airy classic fruity panettone filled with raisins, candied orange and lemon. This year they have also introduced the Strawberry Panettone, studded with tangy dried strawberry for a pop of flavour and colour. Comes mini-me size panettoncino too!
