If you’re in the Orchard area, try the food at new Singapore restaurant Amuse by the Esmirada Group.
This restaurant at Orchard Hotel opened just over two weeks ago and boasts ex-Les Amis culinary heavyweight Armin Leitgeb as its consultant chef.
Nibble on international tapas-style bites such as an Alsace-style salmon tarte flambée with sour cream and chives ($9), beef tartare with horseradish encased in filo pastry cones ($14) and hamachi paired with asparagus and black truffle vinaigrette ($16).
Other highlights include Leitgeb’s signature dish, crispy pork crouton with lightly smoked eel ($17) or with ibérico pork belly ($12) and char-grilled Wagyu cubes cooked in hay ($39). As a nod to Leitgeb’s roots, there’s even traditional Austrian goulash ($21) on the menu.
Boozewise, you’ll find cocktails like Amber Bowl ($18), Crack of Dawn ($16) and homemade sangria ($14).
