Located within the Main Building and offering postcard views of the triple-tiered cascading pools and the South China Sea from both the living room and bedroom, the recently renovated 100sqm Capella Suite (there are only 4 in the entire property) plays it all relaxed luxurious residential in its refreshed stylings. The suite is decked in cool shades of mineral grey and slate green, with textures of teak, rattan and oak in homage to the property’s original Southeast Asian design influences.⠀#CapellaSingapore #CapellaHotels #FatbackHotelsSingapore #FatbackHotels #FatbackHotelsCapella #FatbackHotelsGHA #secretlifeoffatbacks #luxurytravel #luxurytravelblogger #luxurytraveller  #luxurytravels #luxurytravelblog #luxurytraveltraveler #luxuryhotel #luxuryhotels
        The Flavours of Peranakan menu at Peppermint, PARK The Flavours of Peranakan menu at Peppermint, PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, Singapore (@parkroyalcollectionmarinabay). The menu - available 17 March until 30 April 2023 - is a collaboration with 1 MICHELIN-star Auntie Gaik Lean’s Old School Eatery from Penang, Malaysia (@auntiegaiklean), and I will have to say this currently stands as my favourite Peppermint buffet spread ever.The Egg Belanda (fried eggs in sweet and sour tamarind gravy) was a spellbinding revelation, and one of the most raved-about dishes amidst my dining companions - I literally ate six fried eggs in total. The Fish Curry Tumis and Brinjal Sambal were other notable highlights in an extensive Peranakan food bonanza with offerings such as Ayam Buah Keluak, Itek Sio, Black Angus Beef Oxtail Pongteh, Beef Rendang, Nasi Ulam, Assam Prawn, Scallop Otah Otah and Shell, DIY Kueh Pie Tee and Wok-fried Seafood Dry Laksa, presented by both fourth-generation Nyonya Auntie Gaik Lean alongside Peppermint’s own Chef de Cuisine Leon Yee. #parkroyalcollectionmarinabay #auntiegaiklean #secretlifeoffatbacks #loveyourlocalsg #saveourfnbsg #sgfood #sgfoods #singaporefood #sgig #igsg #instagramsg #instasg #foodsg #exploresingapore #yoursingapore #instafood

Elsewhere, the collaboration with Itadakimasu by PARCO - which ends 30 April 2023) will showcase special dishes at the following restaurants: Yakiniku Heijouen (Sirloin Beef Chinese Tagliatelle Style)Menya Kokoro (Italian Style Niku Ramen)Sabar (Secret Menu Saba Nabe from the Okuda Family)Maguro Brothers (Maguro Singapore Roll)⠀#itadakimasubyparco #amarasingapore #japanesefood #masayukiokuda #secretlifeoffatbacks #loveyourlocalsg #saveourfnbsg #sgfood #sgfoods #singaporefood  #sgig #igsg #instagramsg #instasg #foodsg #exploresingapore #yoursingapore #instafood
