Singapore Flyer Sky Dining Experience
To commemorate a special occasion, my partner and I decided to embark on our first ever Sky Dining experience at the Singapore Flyer. The weather decided to have plans of its own and we found ourselves reminiscing about the history of Singapore at the Singapore Flyer Time Capsule while waiting for the skies to clear up.
And yes, this shot is my “ Tron-esque” tribute where I am grateful to be receiving the three course dinner waiting for me at my Sky Dining experience.
As the skies finally cleared up, we were quickly ushered into our pod along with 3 other couples. First item on the menu is the classic Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc to quench our thirst while we eagerly anticipate our first course.
First course is Miso Tofu Mushroom Salad featuring Quail Egg, Mixed Mushrooms, Citrus Miso Dressing. It is a delicious appetizer that is surprisingly refreshing and satisfying, inspiring my partner to take notes for our culinary experimentations at home.
Second course is Boston Lobster served with Japanese Wasabi Cracker, Yellow Frisée, Pearl Onion, Gherkin, and Wasabi Tobiko. It is a fine dish though paling in comparison to the appetizer.
Next up is our two main courses. First up is the Deep Fried Lamb Rack marinated in Rosemary Buttermilk infused with 1664 Blanc Beer and served with Mesclun Salad, Pumpkin Purée, and Mint Mayo Pesto. Lamb has always been a tricky meat to prepare and the beer did not seem to alleviate the taste of the dish significantly. It is still a worthy attempt though a suggestion is to reduce the batter coating to avoid overpowering the star of the dish.
The second main course is Shogayaki Chicken served with Sautéed Herb Potatoes, French Green Beans, and Shoga Sauce. Overall, the dish is fine though I would have preferred it to be a bit less salty. The Shoga Sauce is definitely the main attraction of the dish as it helps to tie the dish together.
For desserts, we were treated to Banana Soft Pudding with Mixed Berries and a selection of tea and coffee.
Our Sky Dining experience would be incomplete with spectacular views of our beautiful city skyline.
Overall, the Singapore Flyer Time Capsule and Sky Dining experience was an amazing adventure. We had a lot more fun than expected with a delicious dining experience, attentive service, and lots of memorable moments to cherish for a lifetime.
