Welcome to Raffles Place.

($6.50) I finally tried their best selling gelato after I have tried their Christmas gelato last 2 years ago? Pistachio was quite creamy, milky and nutty aftertaste.

Used the 1 for 1 Fruity Series deal to purchase 2 large cups - lychee bomb tea and mango crush tea! What a good deal to satisfy my bubble tea cravings on such a hot day 🥵

(Iced - $8.90) I opt out for less sugar as I wanted to try cremu (cream) w/o matcha taste before mixing it together. I would want to say that their quality for matcha was not that bad as I thought of. Matcha was quite strong bitter taste before mixing it together. But the cremu (cream) was quite plain and light in taste and flavour tbh. Finally clear my food wishlist since last year.

($6) included hot drink (Teh O) it was quite savoury, salty and oily aftertaste tbh. I think it's one of best selling and their recommendation for toast.

If there’s one dish that truly stole the show at VUE, it was the Grilled Maine Lobster and their signature Wild Forest Mushroom Risotto.

The lobster was grilled to tender perfection, its natural sweetness elevated by a rich fermented carrot butter sauce—an unexpected yet delightful pairing that added depth and umami. Buttery, flavorful, and melt-in-your-mouth good.

Then there’s the risotto—creamy, earthy, and intensely aromatic. Each spoonful was a luxurious blend of wild mushrooms and perfectly cooked rice, comforting yet indulgent, making it the ultimate pairing with the lobster.

With the stunning rooftop view of the Singapore skyline, these dishes alone make a visit to VUE worth it.

Dining at VUE is more than just a meal—it’s an experience elevated by binchotan-grilled specialties and stunning rooftop views of the Singapore skyline. We had the privilege of indulging in the 5-course Winter Tasting Menu, and every dish was a standout.

For the cold appetizer, I couldn’t resist the Kumamoto A5 Black Wagyu Beef Tartare (+$10 top-up), hand-cut and mixed with egg yolk gel, yuzu, and a hint of chili oil—absolute perfection. My dining partner went for the Summer Heirloom Tomatoes, beautifully paired with smoked burrata and a refreshing tomato gazpacho poured tableside.

The Grilled Maine Lobster (+$20 top-up) came highly recommended, and it did not disappoint. Cooked to a tender bite, the fermented carrot butter sauce added an unexpected richness that complemented the seafood so well. But if there’s one dish you must order at VUE, it’s their signature risotto. The Wild Forest Mushroom Risotto was luxuriously creamy and earthy—each spoonful a burst of flavor.

For the main, I went back to my favorite—Kumamoto A5 Wagyu Beef, perfectly grilled and paired with a red wine reduction for a touch of sweetness and acidity. Ending on a sweet note, we indulged in the Caramel Banana with gingerbread sponge, the Mont Blanc with chestnut ice cream, and were pleasantly surprised with a serving of Shizuoka Musk Melon from the chef.

A spectacular meal with an equally breathtaking view—VUE is definitely one for the books.

Lastly, for dessert, The Waffle Ice Cream ($20) was okay in my opinion because I don’t really care for their salted milk ice cream (and I was expecting a little more). However, I love the nutty hazelnut crumble, the apple compote also added that fruity sweetness and I basically inhaled the crisp hazelnut waffle.

What saved the night was the Iberico Pork Chop ($48)! Think bone in grilled Iberico rib chop paired with yummy rich vin jaune sauce, luscious artichoke purée, green peas (ugh no), and crunchy aromatic hazelnuts. I could seriously just pick up the plate and lick up all the sauce. Grilled nicely, the pork was sufficiently tender and succulent on most parts but some bites were certainly more firm.

A miss, the Tagliolini Fresca ($40) was completely over-seasoned - too salty. I do, however, enjoy the tangy sweet heirloom cherry tomatoes and the execution of the tender grilled baby squid and Argentinean red prawns. I would say skip this.

Toast to the new year with Brasserie Astoria’s signature/ namesake Toast Astoria ($32), topped with savoury shoyu brined trout roe, sweet Japanese snow crab (quite a sizeable mound) and fresh-tasting coldwater shrimps on a crispy golden-brown butter fried toast amped up with piquant wasabi aioli and pickled red onions. A very refreshing and refined starter (even better with the squeeze of lime).

Goyohan Soul offers a refined take on Korean cuisine, balancing bold flavors with elegance. The Mini Kimchi Pancake was crisp outside, soft inside, and packed with tangy, umami-rich kimchi. The Silky Plump Oyster lived up to its name, fresh and briny with a delicate sweetness.

The Kimchi Fried Rice with Chicken had a satisfying wok hei, with well-seasoned grains absorbing the deep, spicy notes of aged kimchi. The tender chicken made it even heartier. The L.A. Galbi was a standout—juicy, Korean-style BBQ short ribs marinated in a sweet-savory sauce, perfectly caramelized yet tender.

The Grilled Half-Shell Scallop was cooked to perfection, its natural sweetness enhanced by a buttery glaze. The Army Stew was warm and comforting, loaded with Korean sausages, luncheon meat, tofu, rice cakes, kimchi ramyeon, and fish cake, all swimming in a rich, tangy broth.

Overall, Goyohan Soul elevates familiar Korean flavors with quality ingredients and thoughtful execution, making it a spot worth revisiting.

I had the Elvis ($11) which had PB, raw cacao, banana blended together to form a thick & creamy smoothie bowl, topped with house-made vanilla granola. Also topped with raw peanut butter cubes which were to die for!! The top layer was rich pb & choc, and the bottom sticky crunchy layer was a mixture of crushed cashews, pitted dates & coconut.
