Brunch At The New Quayside Saint Pierre

Hi Huneybees,

Saint Pierre has officially shifted into the attractive and idyllic precinct of Quayside Isle at Sentosa Island. Veering away from the usual over-priced French Cuisine dining scene, Chef/Owner Emmanuel Stroobant and Chef-de-Cuisine Daniel Grobnik has come together to provide high-quality French Cuisine with affordable price points. They are focusing on organic produce as well as seafood and vegetarian options for patrons.

The main change to the menu would have to the Saturday Brunch. I got to try the Saturday Brunch out before the restaurant is officially opened and all I can say is combining delicious food and great ambiance, Saint Pierre is my new fav for brunch dates with hubby.

Chef/Owner Emmanuel Stroobant

The kitchen of Saint Pierre.

Available every Saturday from 11.30am to 3pm, the brunch menu revisits classic breakfast mainstays with a twist. I like that with the price of $38++ per person, you can enjoy the full set of refreshing fruit choice, main course, assorted bread basket and a cup of warm coffee/tea.

With the dishes as the main stars, the design of the restaurant was kept simply elegant with earthy and soothing tones, allowing maximum sunlight in whilst we dined by the pier, watching yachts come and go.

Introducing a few dishes that we tried that day. And as mentioned, when you order the set menu, you will get a basket full of homemade assorted breads - Brioche, Croissants, Breads, paired with homemade jam and farmed butter and a dash of salt to wake up those sleep taste buds of yours.

The Eggs Benedict - Eggs, Brioche, Iberico Ham, Champagne Hollandaise, would have to be one of their signature must-haves. Eat it while it's hot and your mouth would a melting volcano of egg yolk that tasted well with the slightly salt-ish Iberico Ham.

If you are not a fan of Eggs Benedict, you can also try their Scrambled Eggs or Eggs Florentine.

My favourite would have to be the Beef Parmentier - Homemade Corned Beef, Mashed Potato, Truffle Brunoise. Served in a palm size pan, the soft mashed potato that melts right in your mouth, tasted heavenly with the beef and truffle slices. It's a luxurious meal for the morning and I'm loving it.

I also shared the Smoked Salmon (Home-Smoked Salmon, Sourdough, Wild Chives and Lemon Juice) with hubby. We are both fans of smoked salmon, but nothing beats the one done in Saint Pierre. You can still taste the "charcoal" in the salmon slice and the lemon juice enhanced it even more. However, I find that to have this as main course was a little too!

P.S. There is an optional choice of adding 30g Schrenkii Malossol Caviar for an additional $118.

A dish that you can't find it elsewhere, would have to the Waffle. It is no ordinary syrup top waffle. This comes with Foie Gras Mousse, Apple Compote and Vanilla Beans! A 5 star breakfast dish that I got to try at Savour 2012 and 2013, which I never fail to have. The foie gras together with the sweet apple compote is not overpowering and in fact, I never feel sick eating them!

If you are fans of cheese and looking for something light to start the day, you can also have the Goat Cheese or Cheese Platter, paired with nuts, fruits and arlettes. 

After the hearty brunch, I even got to take a walk along the marina, whilst hubby indulged in his photography. The Quayside Isle is a great place to really chill out and relief all the stress you have bored throughout the week.

Another new permanent addition to the Saint Pierre menu would hae to the English Sunday Roast. It is a all-you-can-eat semi-buffet that offers patrons a selection of 3 choice roasts and a variety of salads and sides, as well as a dessert spread to end the meal.

W Hotel Singapore

Hi Huneybees,

W HOTELS WORLDWIDE BRINGS NEW ISLAND GLAMOUR TO SINGAPORE WITH THE OPENING OF W SINGAPORE - SENTOSA COVE

Check out the grand entrance of the Hotel.

Located in the heart of the Singapore’s entertainment center, W Singapore is an urban oasis that infuses the energy of the cosmopolitan city with Sentosa Island’s tropical landscape. It's officially launched and here's a preview trip around the hotel...

W Hotels Worldwide announced the opening of its first W Hotel in Singapore with the debut of W Singapore - Sentosa Cove and The Residences at W Singapore – Sentosa Cove.

The Residences at W Singapore from W Hotel Singapore.

Owned and developed by an affiliate of City Developments Limited, W Singapore is an urban oasis located on Sentosa, the city’s most glamorous island only minutes away from downtown Singapore.

The nature floral theme begins right from the moment you step into the lift and step into the lift lobby...

The opening of W Singapore – Sentosa Cove marks the W brand’s 43rd hotel worldwide, and the seventh W Hotel in Asia Pacific. Starwood’s continued momentum across Asia Pacific reflects the strength of its nine leading brands and the deep relationships the company has fostered with developers, partners, and guests in the region over the last 27 years.

I love the check in counter. It matches the theme of Nature.

“We are thrilled to announce the opening of W Singapore – Sentosa Cove today. The arrival of a design-led hotel brand like W Hotels to Singapore comes at the right time as Singapore has emerged as Southeast Asia’s lifestyle and creative hub. Without a doubt, the hotel’s iconic design infused with the W brand’s passion for what’s new and next will offer Singapore the ultimate lifestyle destination.” --- Stephen Ho, President, Asia Pacific, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. 

Wana have a sweet, sweet garden wedding?

Designed by London-based architects WATG and renowned design firm Rockwell Group, W Singapore has been inspired by the buzzing energy of the city set against Sentosa’s natural surroundings to create a new scene in this international capital.

The thoughtful people of W Hotel even have these "helmets" around the hotel for non-disturbance ambient sounds when you are answering your calls...

Adjacent to the 228 W-branded residences, the hotel offers a fully integrated lifestyle experience, featuring 240 guest rooms and suites, two signature restaurants, a destination bar, the W Lounge experience, WET pool deck and bar, Away Spa, and more than 1,500 meters of modern meeting and event space.

Island Glamour Unleashed on Sentosa Island

Located minutes away from Singapore’s Central Business District, fashionable shopping and iconic sights, Sentosa Island is a modern playground for stylish locals and international jetsetters alike, offering lush rainforests, sandy beaches, award-winning spas, luxurious residences, and a deep-water yachting marina. W Singapore and The Residences at W Singapore – Sentosa Cove are situated in the heart of Sentosa and adjacent to Quayside Isle, a unique specialty retail complex with waterfront restaurants and shops.

The design of W Singapore has been inspired by modern interpretations of Sentosa’s lush, tropical landscape. For instance, upon arrival, guests are welcomed by a waterfall with projections of vibrant graphic patterns on the water, while the outdoor terrace features glowing grass lights, rock-shaped daybeds, and an over-scaled rock garden. Patterns evoking Singapore’s national flower, the Vanda Miss Joaquim Orchid, can be found throughout W Singapore and serving as inspiration for guestrooms. In the hotel’s W Lounge, a DJ console carved out of natural stone creates a centerpiece, overlooking the lawn, which illuminates in the evening.

Sip and Mix, Indulge and Escape in Singapore’s New Urban Oasis

Setting a new gourmet scene in Singapore, SKIRT, the W brand’s first contemporary grill restaurant, makes its debut with a slick bar for sipping the latest cocktails and aging cabinets serving the finest meats, sensational seafood, signature soups and tantalizing desserts.

SKIRT is all about cows and every section, every decoration in the restaurant revolves around the theme. You can find leather holders, horns, milk tins etc around the restaurant....

The Kitchen Table all-day dining restaurant features an interactive experience with various live food stations and tastings at the whim of the chef.

The fun part of this is that the restaurant works like a walk about buffet. You can go to each station to eat and order your food and the whimsical design of the restaurant, makes you feel as though you were dining with the Mad Hatter...

Colourful dining utensils on at The Kitchen Table.

It's a Topsy-turvy world in there....

You can also opt for the alfresco dining outside.

WOOBAR, W Singapore’s destination nightclub, offers innovative cocktails creations by the W
mixologist and sounds by the hotel’s resident DJ at nightfall.

For a chill out moment, WET Bar is a poolside spot to socialize, sip and nibble under Singapore’s glistening sun.

When I got to the pool, it was such a refreshing sight. I bet alot of you city dwellers would be dying to get out of your seat now and get yourself a room in W Hotel! A walk around the pool made me awake and seriously, jump right in to the pool.

And when it turns dark, the DJ would be spinning his music on the deck. The pool area turns right into a pool disco!

This is a room at the ground floor and the rooms on this stretch have their very own spa ready beds and jacuzzi.

W Singapore features an Away® Spa, the W brand’s signature spa concept that offers an escape for both guests and locals to detox and refuel for what’s to come. Guests of the spa are greeted by rainforest inspired decor and natural sculptural pieces that personify the exotic gardens of Singapore. Away at W Singapore exclusively features iLA products and highly-customized beds that offer maximum comfort.

Walking towards the Away guest room.

The presidential suite has a super fancy door! Imagine inside...

For guests seeking the ultimate spa experience, W Singapore offers nine Away guest rooms and suites, located on the spa level of the hotel and each featuring a private plunge pool. The hotel also features GYM state-of-the art fitness center and WET pool deck, featuring a 1,300 square meter outdoor pool with 24 underwater speakers.

Below is the Away guest room, not the suite room.

Little details in the room makes it all so comfortable to stay in. A love cushion at the corner, mirror with a moustache, iPod player and alligator skin lining for the wardrobe makes it even more luxurious...

All guest rooms and suites at W Singapore feature a signature W Bed, Munchie Box stocked with exclusive amenities (psst, they also have the baby control rubber in there. =P), 40” LED HD TV, state-of-the-art surround sound system, high-speed Wi-Fi, and MP3 player plug-and-play device.

 In the room, you can change the settings and mood to change the colour and set the mood for different occasions.

View from the room's balcony is magnificent!

All bathrooms are stocked with Bliss® amenities to ensure a relaxing experience after a day of sun or night of fun. The hotel offers W’s signature Whatever/Whenever® service philosophy, offering guests whatever they want, whenever they want it, as long as it’s legal!

 The Great Room has Swarovski Crystal-ed floral lamps all over the ceiling.

Can you spot the fairy??

W Singapore features more than 1,500 square meters of meeting and event space, including an 732-square-meter Great Room, seven meeting rooms, and a stunning outdoor space outfitted with adaptable conference furniture and state-of-the-art audio/visual equipment.

We found chips along the corridor of the meeting rooms!

Brainstorm under the thinking tree for more creative ideas!

The lamp is a thinking cloud too!

 The hotel has berthing stations ready for their hotel customers.

W Singapore is the first hotel in the city to feature private berthing stations along the shore with direct access to the Great Room for an enhanced grand entrance.

Of course, not forgetting a wonderful shopping experience is a store in the main lobby that promotes the local brands and designs like Ashley Isham, Rezilienz, etc.
