Around the World In One Day with Ritz Carlton's 12th SuperBrunch: The Voyage.
What would you eat for your last meal? If you could choose a meal to have before you die, what would it be? I don't quite intend to die yet (for a long time), but for me such a last meal could possibly be The Ritz Carlton, Millenia Singapore's ultra-decadent bi-annual vintage champagne super brunch extravaganza.
Such as the upcoming one on 19 October at 12pm, themed SuperBrunch: The Voyage, where Ritz Carlton's executive chef Massimo Pasquerelli and his team will take you on a whimsical epicurean journey through the Old World and the New World where you would eat to your hearts' - and stomachs' content.
This edition of the superbrunch - the last being held in March earlier this year - will see the many parts of the hotel transformed into a bustling shipping port set during the Roaring Twenties era. From the Greenhouse to the Chihuly Lounge, diners would encounter delicacies from cuisines around the world, such as:
From the Old World
Caviar Bar: A selection of Caviar with Blini (Pancakes) and Condiments; Sevruga, Avruga, Osetra, Ikura (Salmon Roe), Sea Urchin, Tobiko (Flying Fish Roe) and Mullet Roe

But while the Roaring Twenties saw the United States embroiled in the period known as the Prohibition where the consumption of alcohol was actually discouraged by making the manufacture, distribution and sale of alcohol illegal, at Ritz Carlton's superbrunch there will be no such inhibition. You'll be plied with unlimited flutes of vintage champagne from the house of Louis Roederer - Cristal Brut Vintage 2006 or Brut Vintage 2008/Brut Rose 2009 - or, if you're more of a cocktail flapper you could pick your poison from a range of remade classics such as the Skinny Manhattan, Kiribati Sour, Bloodless Mary and the Congo Cocktail.
SuperBrunch: The Voyage costs $398 per adult for First Class Cabin tickets (with unlimited Louis Roederer Cristal Brut Vintage 2006), while Business Class Cabin tickets are priced at $258 per adult (with unlimited Louis Roederer Brut Vintage 2008 and Brut Rosé 2009). Both come with New World and Old World themed cocktails, selected house pour red and white wines, soft drinks and fruit-flavoured sparkling mineral water.
To reserve your seats, contact Ritz Carlton at 6434 5288 or email [email protected]. Reservations open from 1 September 2014.
It would be a good way to die. And now, to dig out my suit and fedora.
