In celebration of Singapore’s 61st birthday, Eden Restaurant at
Pullman Singapore Orchard presents “Reimagined National Day Flavours”, a specially curated dining experience that moves beyond the traditional festive buffet. Created by Executive Chef Eric Seow, the menu revisits familiar local favourites through a refined, contemporary lens while preserving the flavours and memories that make them distinctly Singaporean.

Featured here are the Crispy Singapore Chilli Crab Kataifi, a delicate reinterpretation of the local favourite topped with Egg Floss, Pineapple Vierge and Ikura, alongside the Singapore Laksa Salmon Gravlax, where house-cured salmon is paired with Burnt Orange, Crème Fraîche and Toast for a refreshing nod to the iconic noodle dish. Mains include the Dry-Style Bak Kut Teh, elevated with Garlic Confit Béarnaise and Crispy Cuttlefish, the Assam Nyonya Fish featuring Baked Monkfish Cheeks with Heirloom Tomato, and the Wagyu Beef Rendang Parmentier, a sophisticated interpretation of the richly spiced heritage classic.

To finish, desserts celebrate familiar local flavours through the Chocolate Milo Choux with Kiri Crème and Chocolate Crunchy Pearls, and the Pandan Nangka Mousse, layered with Pandan Chiffon Sponge, Coconut Strip and Gula Melaka Mousse.

Guests can also complement the experience with locally inspired cocktails including the Laksa Martini, Kaya Toast, and Little Red Dot, each inspired by iconic Singaporean flavours.

Also featured is the Scallop Thai Yum Mama Salad from the Singapore’s 61st Birthday Dinner, a four-course set priced at S$88++ per person, where Scallop Ceviche is paired with Green Mango, Crispy Noodles and Ikura.

This August, Katong and Bintan come together at Hotel Indigo Singapore Katong in a culinary collaboration celebrating two distinctive neighbourhoods and the 10th anniversary of Baba Chews. Available from 1 to 16 August 2026, Across the Straits – Katong x Bintan is a six-course four-hands menu created by Chef Huang Jiaxing of Baba Chews and Chef Erik Gremmer, Cluster Executive Head Chef of Hotel Indigo Bintan Lagoi Beach.

The experience begins with the Katong Kiss, a bright, floral and citrusy non-alcoholic welcome drink inspired by coastal sunsets and familiar Singapore flavours. A bold Singapore Chilli Crab Bao is paired with Bintan Bamboo Clams, bringing two flavours from across the straits together in a playful opening. This is followed by Bintan Ikan Asam Pedas, a vibrant hot-and-sour fish dish capturing the warmth, depth and freshness of Bintan’s coast, before Sate Kambing presents tender lamb satay charred with fragrant Marangi spice and served with bold condiments.

At the heart of the menu is the Nasi Lemak Risotto, where Baba Chews’ signature coconut risotto carries the soul of nasi lemak and is paired with tiger prawns and turmeric squid. The Beef Cheek Rendang then celebrates 10 years of Baba Chews with a deeply spiced, slow-braised expression of Peranakan flavours.

The experience concludes with a Gula Melaka Burnt Cheesecake, where nostalgic Southeast Asian sweetness meets a contemporary finish.
