Have you been to Quayside Isle?
It is located on Sentosa Island, within the Sentosa Cove estate, just beside W Hotel and The Residences at W Singapore. Quayside Isle is the only integrated retail development within the estate, offering a myriad of waterfront international dining concepts and speciality retail stores.
Best of all, it offers a breath-taking view of the marina, making it an awesome dining destination of choice, especially for special occasions when you are looking to pamper yourself with great food and drinks, topped a great view.
While most of us would find it impossible to afford a home in the Sentosa Cove estate, this doesn’t mean we cannot enjoy the same marina front lifestyle enjoyed by the residents there at Quayside Isle. Quayside Isle offers 25 exciting dining and shopping concepts, with an extensive food selection of specially curated new-to-market restaurants as well as new dining concepts from established groups, and specialty retail stores.

The very lovely sommelier at The Straits Wine Company introduced the bloggers to six wines at an exclusive tasting session when we visited:
Babich Marborough Sauvignon Blanc 2014 (RP $49.30) – smooth and fresh, with peach and nectarine notes up front and a core of citrus flavours. acidic finish with a whiff of white flowers.
Ferngrove Frankland River Chardonnay 2013 (RP $49.30) – an oaky white wine good for light drinking.
Marco Felluga Pinot Grigio Mongris 2014 (RP $52.30) – a pleasant, fruity, lightly-oaked white wine which would go well with olive oil and tomato-based dishes.
Kate Radbur and Vine Velvet Pinot Noir 2013 (RP $48.30) – soft, sweet summer fruit entry balanced by grainy tannins, with a bright, bounding finish. Perfect for special occasions.
Altos Las Hormigas Malbec Terroir 2012 (RP $58.30) – a very red, herby wine with notes of cherry and hints of curry and other spices. strong start, weak finish.

Gin Khao operates three restaurants across Singapore, with the one at Quayside Isle being the latest addition. They serve authentic thai cuisine in a fancy ambient, and is one of the more wallet-friendly options at Quayside Isle.
Signature dishes include their Watermelon Fried Rice, Crayfish with Glass Noodle and Stir-Fried Squid layered with Runny Salted Egg. These three were clearly the standout dishes during our tasting. The Watermelon Fried Rice and Stir-Fried Squid with Runny Salted Egg were especially popular with everyone at the table. Do try them both when you dine at Gin Khao!

Brussels Sprout operates three restaurants across Singapore and is best known for it’s Belgian beers and mussels. They offer an array of bar food as well as comfort food for an indulgent good time.
Draught beers on the menu which pair well with the food include Stella Artois, Hoegaarden White, Leffe Blonde, Leffe Brune, Hoegaarden Rosee and Lindermans. Stella Artois is great for light drinking. Hoegaarden White – well-known for its taste of hops and wheat, was served with small eats like Beef Tartare on Toast, Belgian Rollmops, Crispy North Sea Shrimp Croquettes and Homemade Belgian Cheese Balls. Leffe Blonde – first brewed by monks of the Abbey Notre Dame de Leffe – golden in colour, silky in mouthfeel and sweet in taste; went well with mussels and fries. The more bitter Leffe Brune went well with the heavy meat dishes while the Hoegaarden Rosee and Lindermans were like drinking a fizzy, alcoholic dessert.

Gin Khao Bistro heard it serves good Thai food!
Mykonos on the bay because I visited Greece and personally love Greek food and Mykonos. It makes me feel like I’m in Greece 🙂
I’ll be bringing my boyfriend. We used to work there part time while studying but could never bear to pay for extravagant meals there.
We’ve both started working recently, not rich enough yet, so a subsidised meal as we reflect on the past and build our own future would be greatly appreciated!
Our favourite tenant is Jasons because we love to kill time in supermarkets. Although this outlet isn’t very big, when pastries just come out of the oven the whole place smells awesome. And you can see live seafood like oysters! And all the atas food items we may never buy, but see also shiok HAHA.
Thanks for this giveaway Alvinology!
I’d love to win a dining voucher and try the above dishes! Happy new year!

Thank you (:
Love how seafood is displayed in a “high tea set” style at Quayside Fish Bar & Bistro 🙂
I love Brussels Sprout as I myself is a seafood lover, especially mussels! Looking at the different ways the mussels are prepared just makes me salivate badly!!!
Brussels Sprout as the waffles look so good!
Gin Khao as I love its Watermelon Fried Rice which is a welcome change to the usual Pineapple fried rice available in most Thai restaurants. I am craving for this satisfying staple, brightened up with refreshing cubes of freshly cut tropical fruit on my upcoming birthday meal with my family please!
MUSEO. Been there a few times with friends. Awesome place to chill out and every dish is a piece of art, good for food photography. I particularly liked their speciality lychee tea!
I haven’t been to Brussels Sprouts and Quayside Isle yet so for my first visit, it be great to go to Brussels Sprouts! I love mussels and it looks good whenever i see my friends posting pictures. And it’s perfect they other kinds of small bites + a good range of beers! Perfect for all kinds of occasions and i love the relaxed vibes at Quayside Isle. Look forward to exploring this place and it be nice to take a stroll after my meal =)
Liked and shared. Kate Lee Gin Khao is my favourite as it is the best choice for Thai dinner with family and friends in a comfortable, casual ambience. I especially love its Thai Tea Molten Lava Cake which is not a common flavour but is undoutedly a befitting end to a Thai meal. The thai tea flavoured cake itself is moist, however its core of condense milk was not very flowy. I can even get to choose from coconut, mango, palm sugar, tom yum (yes, tom yum!), chocolate, vanilla or lychee sorbet to accompany the lava cake. Wow! Really craving to have it again!
Brussels Sprouts! local friends brought us here for a party last time. we had a big group but the manager was very accommodating and patient especially during ordering time. service throughout the day was awesome and also the food was ok. we had a lot of fun with mussels and beer!!
My favourite tenant at Quayside Isle would be Brussels Sprouts because I am a seafood lover and the fresh mussel they have attract me much!! I would love to try their seafood pasta look damn scrumptious too!
My favourite tenant at Quayside Isle would be Brussels Sprouts!! As there are alot of interesting good food there such as Homemade Belgian Cheese Balls oozing of cheese make me feel like having now and the dessert Strawberry Surprise Waffle from there look very pretty which I hope to try it!!
Gin Khao as all my friends say must try its signature green papaya salad before dying. Hmm…really that good? Wanna win some vouchers to have a no-risk try. Haha!
Liked and shared on Facebook.
I’d definitely want to try the yummy food at Gin Khao because I love thai food! I’ve tried pineapple fried rice before but not watermelon fried rice so I’m really curious on the taste!
My family simply love Earl of Hindh serves yummlicious Indian delicacies from mouth watering Kebabs to finest whiskies. It will be an awesome opportunity to celebrate my Parents 40th wedding anniversary there..
Thanks
