Thanks for sharing! Looks interesting...but my friends don't like the stress of the parking situation there...

You are welcome! If you don't mind a short, pleasant walk in the outdoors, there is convenient parking in the surrounding area. Even parking at the nearby Ritz Carlton, Marina Square or Millenia Walk is feasible if you don't mind a 10 minute stroll.

I'm sold! Need to hop over from the office!

Worth a try! Go for it!

Looks very good. Do they have a no-kids policy like some others there?

Not sure, but I doubt it. It is not an especially formal place.

Looks good. Must try!

Yes you should!

Thanks for the review. I think I'll have to check this $68 chicken out sometime

You are welcome! At $68 for a whole chicken, which feeds two, this represents amazing value, considering how delicious it is.

This restaurant is within the Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort, not in the iconic 3 towers with the cantilevered platform and rooftop infinity pool, but in the adjoining waterfront casino and shopping complex near ground level.



You don't need to enter the casino to dine at the restaurant, and in fact, the way into the restaurant gives you a very good view of the main casino floor. This was the first time I had ever seen the actual casino gaming floor, as I never felt it worthwhile to cough up the $100 entry fee that Singaporeans have to pay to enter.

Here is another view of MBS, taken from Gardens by the Bay East...a beautiful park on the Eastern side, connected to Gardens by the Bay South by the Marina Barrage.



Restaurant aside, the Gardens by the Bay are worth a visit if you are visiting Singapore, and have an afternoon or a weekend to spare.

Last two pics here were taken earlier this afternoon. Thankfully the haze has lifted a little!

We finished off with dessert, a selection of various icy and chocolatey/nutty treats, beautifully presented.

It was time to tuck in, and this dish was absolutely delicious. Some of the best, if not THE best, chicken dish I have had in a very long while. The smoky barbecued aroma was rich and intense, the flesh tender and moist, and there was almost no oil or grease apparent.



The rice and truffle flavours complemented, but did not overwhelm, the taste of the chicken.



A remarkable dish, one of Chef Yamamoto's signature creations.
