The audacious and adventurous Travelling Gourmet TM visits…
MARRIOTT Singapore’s Pool Grill on Level 5. One of my favourite al fresco restaurants with a stunning view of the pool and Ion. Pool Grill is expected to close in September 2019. According to reliable sources, it will be transformed into an air conditioned Executive Club Lounge serving breakfast and evening cocktails. A small area may remain open for lunch…
Pool Grill is the only restaurant in Singapore where super yummie Caesar Salad with Bacon and Anchovies is prepared and served “a la table”, as the French say.
Caesar Salad a la table with Anchovies!
I love to dine here in the evenings…and watch the sun slowly set over Orchard Road, the Bond Street of Singapore.
I also like the Barramundi and Tiger Prawn with Mushroom and Cornish Game Hen with Lobster.
The helpful staff like Misty, Joanna, Eda and Selvam are all good friends. My dear friend, Chef John Chye was the Chef here, but is now the Executive Chef in Courtyard by Marriott. I have even cooked in the kitchen of Pool Grill many moons ago! I remember well the grand opening some years ago…. This al fresco restaurant servng contemporary Western cuisine has been a hit with overseas guests from Europe and the USA, who love the al fresco concept. However, al fresco is not so popular with locals who are obsessed with air conditioning…
Come and dine here before it closes in September 2019.
C’est la vie, n’est pas mes amis…the happy memories of yummie food and wines al fresco in Pool Grill will always remain…
