[FOOD] Global Gourmet Kitchen Presents Shanghai Chef Extraordinaires
Global Gourmet Kitchen Menu
Xiao Long Bao – These were the three words that came to mind when we heard that authentic Shanghainese cuisine will be showcased at Resorts World Sentosa’s well-loved Global Gourmet Kitchen series. Award-winning chefs from the legendary Lü Bo Lang restaurant have been specially flown in to prepare authentic creations at Feng Shui Inn™.
For the uninitiated, eating the Xiao Long Bao is an art and requires a certain technique. To truly savour the essence of this Shanghai delicacy, it’s not as simple as putting the soup dumpling in your mouth, chewing and swallowing it.
[FOOD] World Gourmet Summit 2012 Opening Reception
It would have been a mundane Monday (with abysmally humid weather) but for the anticipation of the start of 11 days of gastronomic pleasures. 6:30 PM at the Maritime Experiential Museum saw the gathering of hosting chefs, guest chefs, and the who’s who of the hosting establishments for an exclusive pre-opening press conference. It was apt that the 16th World Gourmet Summit would kick start at the museum – the sails of the Bao Chuan in the background was a majestic symbol of 16 years of epicurean collaborations, culinary innovation and good taste.

[FOOD] World Gourmet Summit 2012 – Osia hosts one-Michelin-starred British Chef Fergus Henderson

Take a seat at Osia from 24th to 27th April and you’ll experience the culinary pleasures brought to you by one-Michelin starred chef Fergus Henderson.
[INSIGHTS] How to maximise your enjoyment at a pool party
There’s nothing quite like a pool party, a hedonistic experience which one may not recall much come the morning after – especially when it involves lots of booze. What about free booze? That’s definitely the icing on the cake for the guests who attended last weekend’s Splash! Liquid Buffet at Hard Rock Pool. The RWS Invites event sampler provided a glimpse of what RWS Invites members can enjoy.
We braved unexpected splatters of water, ear-shattering party music and a very huge beach ball to dish some tips on how to have a splashing good time at a pool party.
Get wet!
Having a ball of a time.
What’s a pool party without getting yourself wet? Before going to a pool party, remember to pack your coolest beach gears because you’ll never know how things can get more competitive than a catwalk show. Besides, you want your board shorts or bikini to look their best in front of flashing cameras.
