From now to 15 June at Grand Mercure Singapore Roxy , Feast Asia Islands Symphony on Your Plate, supported by the Philippine Embassy in Singapore, brings the vibrant flavours of the Philippines to life with a limited-time showcase of traditional dishes. At the carving station, savour the iconic Lechon Belly—crispy, herb-stuffed slow-roasted pork belly—as well as Chicken Inasal, a Bacolod-style grilled chicken marinated in calamansi, garlic, and annatto oil. The aromatic Seafood Paella, brimming with prawns, mussels, squid, and clams, adds a coastal flair to the spread. To start your journey, tuck into appetisers like Pork Sisig, a sizzling mix of chopped pork with calamansi and chilli; Lumpiang Shanghai, crispy spring rolls filled with seasoned pork; and the refreshing Filipino Chicken Pasta Salad.

The mains are a rich celebration of Filipino home-style favourites, from the tender, soy-braised Adobong Short Ribs and tomato-based Afritada, to Ginataang Sugpo—prawns in creamy coconut milk—and the tangy, savoury Adobong Pusit with squid. Rice lovers will enjoy the umami-rich Sinangag na Taba ng Talangka (crab fat fried rice), while Daing na Bangus and Tortang Talong offer classic comfort.

End on a sweet note with a delightful selection of island desserts like Leche Flan, Maja Blanca coconut pudding, chewy Kutsinta, and the crowd-favourite Halo-Halo—a colourful mix of shaved ice, sweetened fruits, jelly, flan, and ube ice cream. It’s a feast of heritage, flavour, and festive spirit all in one unforgettable dining experience.

On 29 May and 30 May, Summer Palace at Conrad Singapore Orchard hosted South by South, an exquisite four-hands collaboration that celebrated the refined artistry of Southern Chinese cuisine. Held over two exclusive nights, the event brought together Executive Chinese Chef Liu Ching Hai of Summer Palace and Chef Du Guojin of Michelin-starred HOKKLO (Waldorf Astoria Xiamen). Together, they paid homage to the culinary heritage of Cantonese and Fujian traditions—each shaped by coastal influences, diaspora journeys, and centuries of craftsmanship.

The six-course experience featured delicacies such as the Changle Surf Clam Trio, Wok-Fried King Prawn, and Pan-Fried Scallop with Kaluga Caviar and Barbecued Iberico Pork, paired with Cold Brew Anxi Guanyin King.

Guests also savoured Fujian-style Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Wok-Fried Garoupa Fillet with White Asparagus and XO Sauce, and Hokklo-style Stewed Ginger Duck, each complemented by a carefully selected tea.

The journey concluded with Braised Ee Fu Noodles with Lobster and Egg White and a duo of Seaweed Jelly and Bird’s Nest Egg Tarts, while premium wine pairings—from Francois Bedel to Chapter and Verse—elevated the evening’s culinary narrative.
