1. JW Marriott Singapore South Beach
Boasting floor-to-ceiling glass windows, natural lighting and homely wooden and stone accents, the luxury hotel’s Beach Road Kitchen is welcoming and cosy – all the reasons you need to indulge in a spectacular brunch. Tuck into seafood on ice – fresh from a temperature-controlled “seafood room” – as well as hearty charcoal-grilled meats. But the highlight of the meal has got to be the Lobster Thermidor with generous chunks of lobster meat, egg yolks, brandy and mushrooms stuffed into the shell, drizzled with cheese and baked to perfection. Look out, too, for special samplers of delights not found on the menu and prepared a la minute in limited batches by the chefs, such as a yummy truffle mushroom pizza. Finish the meal with your pick from a dazzling array of desserts, ranging from nonya kueh to fresh waffles, pastries and cakes. Celebrate the food and togetherness with an unlimited flow of Moet Grand Vintage 2012 or one – or all – of three brunch cocktails offered at the Sunday Brunch Mobile Bar.
Sunday Champagne Brunch is available on Sundays, noon to 3pm, at $168++ per person, inclusive of free flow champagne, wines, cocktails and beers.
