Make the most out of your mealtime with our round-up of timely treats
It’s not hard to indulge this week, with a bevy of Italian restaurants serving scrumptious fare, other than hearty favourites of pasta and pizza. Continue the feasting until the weekend with filling brunches and take your pick between a healthy breakfast away from the maddening crowd or a filling one in the heart of the city.
1. 15 Stamford by Alvin Leung
Instead of lazing around at home this weekend, make an exception for the newly-launched Fancy at 15 Sunday Brunch. Chef de cuisine Douglas Tay will make sure it’s worth your while, as he has prepared an expansive spread of succulent meats and seafood—cooked on the massive customised grill that anchors the gorgeous space—as well as appetisers, sides and desserts.
Always start with something light, like seafood at the cured fish section—home to ocean-fresh salmon gravlax studded with fried capers and showered with a zesty apple mustard dressing; yellowtail amberjack ceviche bathed in kaffir lime, scallion, chilli and coconut water. Or, you can always have your usual fill of freshly sliced Hamachi, tuna and salmon sashimi.
Don’t forget your proteins, though, which are the real stars of the meal. At the grill carvery, you’ll find wagyu beef cubes like oyster blade, hanger steak and tomahawk that are all grilled and carved to order. Elsewhere at the rotisserie spit are more options like suckling pig, spring chicken and lamb leg—best had with the sauces available, like red wine, Sarawak black pepper and Asian chimichurri.
