Sustainable Meat
Milestone Shandi Global has launched Singapore’s largest plant-based chicken manufacturing facility. Shandi produces plant-based chicken products in various forms, from patties and pieces, to strips, shreds and drumsticks. The brand’s name means “because we care’’ in Hebrew, and it was founded on the premise of creating truly sustainable, affordable, nutritious meat alternatives. The reality of a global food shortage as the world population continues to increase spurred the company’s founders to seek alternatives for a sustainable food source for the entire world.
Tea with a View
Enjoy a tranquil green escape to the Flower Dome gardens for a seasonal afternoon tea at Hortus (Latin for “garden”). Vegetarian and non-vegetarian seasonal options include five sweets, five savouries and a plate of warm Devonshire scones served with JING tea or coffee. The dishes come on vintage porcelain tiers – a nod to the tradition and classic elegance of a quintessential afternoon tea. The set costs $58 and includes complimentary access to the Flower Dome and a limousine buggy service to and from Hortus. There’s also a two-hour free-flow Prosecco option available as an add-on.
New Dining Hotspots!
Fresh from Japan
Ganko Sushi has launched its first Southeast Asian outlet in Singapore! The restaurant offers a lavish 12-course omakase experience, without breaking the bank. Using a myriad of seasonal ingredients air-flown three times weekly from Japan, Ganko’s specially curated menu is ever-changing to showcase the restaurant’s innovative creations with the change of seasons.
French Dining with a Twist
Restaurant group Les Amis Group has opened the newest addition to its stellar line-up of dining concepts. Located at the Shaw Centre, Élan brings approachable, modern French cuisine with a sprinkle of Asian influence to the table.
