2. BBR by Alain Ducasse

We may not be able to travel to Europe now, but we can still get a delicious taste of Spain with the Spanish Very BBR menu, crafted by chef de cuisine Louis Pacquelin and available until April 30.

He created eight exclusive dishes brimming with Mediterranean flavours, including the must-try arroz bomba con langosta, a robust appetiser of bomba rice and lobster chunks slowly simmered in a cookpot. Made for seafood lovers, the merluza al pil-pil features hake fish delicately grilled with chilli, garlic and olive oil.

Dessert is a simple yet toothsome crema Catalana, with gluten-free caramelised custard. Choose to pair the meal with Red Sangria or a range of Spanish tipples from the sommelier’s selection.
