[CHALLENGE] Make hot chocolate soup at home this Valentine’s Day
Sometimes, making a gift instead of buying one off the shelves feel a little more sincere, simply because of the additional time and effort put into creating it. We think so too, which is why we jumped at the chance when celebrity chef Scott Webster of Osia kindly offered to teach us how to make his signature dessert: Hot Valrhona Chocolate Soup.
Here’s how to make this Valentine’s Day exceptionally sweet.

[EXPLORE] Underwater dining at Ocean Restaurant by Cat Cora
Dining at Ocean Restaurant by Cat Cora is a two part experience: firstly, as the only ‘underwater’ dining experience in Singapore, and secondly, getting a first-hand taste of Iron Chef Cat Cora’s signature dishes. Each on its own is worth sinking your time in; together, they create a unique dining experience worthy of special occasions.
[EXPLORE] Cat ventured into the Ocean (Restaurant)
Fans of Iron Chef America will remember Cat Cora for two reasons: one, for her amazing culinary skills. Two, for being the only female chef on an all-male line up. Now, Chef Cat, who has several television shows, cookbooks, and restaurants under her belt, has traversed the seas to set up her first restaurant in Asia – Ocean Restaurant by Cat Cora.
Located inside the S.E.A. Aquarium alongside the Open Ocean Habitat, the restaurant will be using sustainably sourced seafood which echoes the Marine Life Park’s mission of ensuring a healthy future for vibrant and sustainable marine, coastal, and freshwater ecosystems. You’ll get to marvel at the tranquil marine life while you tuck into your meal.
We jumped at the chance for a one-on-one with the poised, friendly chef*.
