Fun food to eat at Resorts World this Lunar New Year!
[Written by Tania H.]
When it was time to invite the media over for the traditional lo hei luncheon, I decided to shake things up a bit. Other than the usual tossing and sending vegetables a-flying, I invited a couple of my media friends to stuff Feng Shui Inn’s signature Braised Eight Treasures Duck. [Check out Brad Lau from ladyironchef working his charm on the duck!] A highly sought-after item on the restaurant’s menu, the duck stuffing consists of salted egg yolk, Chinese sausage, chestnuts, flower mushrooms and lotus seeds among other ingredients to infuse the poultry with an aroma to make your mouth water. Seeing how Singaporeans love their duck, no doubt this will be on many tables this festive period.
After the customary lo hei starring our glistening Australian lobster sashimi and delectable Eight Treasures Duck, chef Li served up the rare Japanese sea cucumber and giant fish maw. I was particularly tickled, given it was my first time tasting a premium sea cucumber with stubby spikes and an expensive one at that.
Talking about fun food, the chefs at Loui’s NY Pizza Parlor at Universal Studios Singapore have designed an ingenious Lo Hei Pizza Yu Sheng to introduce this prosperous must-eat to tourists who are visiting USS during this festive period. Tapping on the East meets West notion, this yu sheng is served on a crispy thin-crust pizza base which gives the dish the extra crunch and texture. If you’re at USS sometime this Lunar New Year, be sure to check out this one-of-a-kind pizza yu sheng at Loui’s!

Universal Studios Singapore Feb Updates!
Planning to head to the Universal Studios Singapore this February? Here’s some updates to note:
Park Hours During Chinese New Year
What gets you all hyped up for Chinese New Year? Alright, we know the red packets are a definite (for the receiver at least), the license to pig out, the reunion with loved ones, the LONG break…
Well, here’s another thing to look forward to this festive new year – Universal Studios Singapore hours will be extended , closing at 9pm from 3-13 February!
A stroll in(to) the park
Ok, so you’ve taken RWS-8 or the Sentosa Express till you can literally memorize the timings and routes. Well, here’s another option: Walk in!
Alright, before you frown at this suggestion, let us qualify that this is no ordinary sheltered walkway…
 |
| Sentosa Boardwalk opens this 29 Jan! |
620-metre long, the Sentosa Boardwalk offers pedestrians a canopy-covered route into the island. And that’s not all, it comes equipped with a network of travellators too, so you get a good mix of strolling and ‘gliding’ by the waterway with the various F&B/ retail outlets along the way.
Be sure to catch its opening celebration this Saturday, 29 Jan, where there’s gonna be a special event, pyrotechnics and lots of activities and giveaways. There will also be an attempt to set a really interesting Singapore Book of Records:) No charges for 29 and 30 Jan, so come on down and experience the walk for yourself!

| Festive Hotel, Hard Rock Hotel Singapore, Hotel Michael and Crockfords Tower opened, each with a different theme, offering visitors an experience of waking up to different holidays |
Beat the traffic this New Year’s Eve!
Planning to usher in 2011 with us this Friday? Here are some tips on getting in and out of the resort and beating the jams –
Tip #1: Go Public
We encourage one and all to take public transport in for that day. Traffic is expected to be slow moving!
Tip #2: Remember these characters ‘R-W-S-8′
Specially for 31 Dec, the frequency of our RWS 8 service fleet will be increased with the waiting time reduced from 5-7mins to 3-5mins
Tip #3: Know your exit strategy
If partying through the 2010-2011 window isn’t your cup of tea, there are several (free and painless) ways to make your way out of the resort. Pick one and add it to your plan for the day:)
- Last RWS 8 service leaves the resort for VivoCity at 2a.m.
- Sentosa Express will also be extending their hours, last train leaves Waterfront Station at 1.35a.m.
Tip #4: Do not ignore Tip #1
For those who are still planning to drive in, do note the changes in parking rates for that day
Check out our website for more details on getting to the resort.
At last, they take flight!
Premiering at WaterFront, Resorts World Sentosa
Inspired by the myth found in most folk lore of how love can magically transforms inanimate forms into life, in this case, 2 mechanical cranes into real birds engaged in a seamless ballet.
As if that doesn’t convince you enough,
The Fe(a)stive Season!
In part two of my foodie blogpost for Christmas, we move on to the festive themed menus around the restaurants this December. Give mom a break from the stove or your wife for that matter and take them out for a festive feast followed by a stroll to Singapore’s tallest Christmas tree at Resorts World.

Look Mommy! Christmas but no snow!
I heard from a friend’s six-year-old who lamented Christmas ain’t Christmas if it’s not a scene out of Home Alone. Remember ‘Kevin’ and his misadventures about town as he waded through thick snowfall which blanketed Chicago? It’s the slushy ‘ice kachang’ we’re missing in Singapore this festive period.
With parties to attend and home celebrations aplenty, we have some excellent Christmas goodies for you to bring as gifts or for purely selfish indulgences *wink, wink*
Secondly, here comes the ubiquitous gingerbread house and its resident boy and girl to cast some fairy dust during this magical season. They are most apt for display to welcome your guests or why not as a lucky draw gift! At 700g, our delightful German spice bread is covered in shortbread biscuits, sweets, snowy frosting and a jolly Santa standing at the door. For an affordable $30, it’s yours to take home and don’t forget to pocket the boy and girl for $6 each.
All Christmas goodies are available for sale at our signature patisserie, the Boulagerie at Festive Hotel. Guests can make over the counter purchase from now until 25 December. Pre-order is also available and ends on 22 Dec. For enquiries, please call (+65) 6577 8888 or click here http://www.rwsentosa.com/language/en-US/FestiveCelebrations/FestiveTreats for online bookings. Bon Appetit!
