In October 2018, I checked into the Stamford Suite at The Capitol Kempinski Hotel Singapore, which is notable for being the first Kempinski-operated hotel in Singapore. Comprising 157 guest rooms and suites situated within the restored historic neoclassical buildings Capitol Building and Stamford House and minutes away from City Hall…
Crispy Charcoal Nest from Janice Wong Singapore – pork belly, collagen broth, mushroom poem paper. (The collagen broth is poured into the bowl at your table- there is no Invisibility Cloak magic here.) Janice Wong Singapore 93 Stamford Road #01-06 National Museum Singapore Singapore 178897
