Begin the extraordinary Tour de Gourmet in the luxurious Mercedes-Benz EQS 500 4MATIC—an all-electric luxury sedan delights with its fusion of luxury, technology, design, functionality, and connectivity. The EQS, with its coupé-like silhouette, muscular shoulder, and seamless design, embodies progress in its most exclusive form and provides a first-class departure featuring Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut, a harmonious cuvée with floral aromas and notes of apple, pear, and pineapple, paired with a charcuterie platter of caviar, artisanal cheese, and nuts. This chauffeured experience sets the stage for an unforgettable culinary adventure.
Then, we move on to discover the culinary delights from Curate Group. At the first stop, guests enjoy a private cocktail session, setting a delightful prelude to the dining experience. The journey continues at Sushi Ryu, where sushi artistry meets geisha elegance and tea ceremonies. The menu features Ryu Signature White Fish with Truffle Caviar & Truffle paired with Martell Cordon Bleu, known for its deep golden copper colour and vibrant aromas with a long finish of fruit and spice notes perfectly complement the dish’s sophisticated flavours.
Guests also enjoy two appetizers—King Crab Muzuku and Hirame wrapped with Uni—paired with Martell Chanteloup XXO. Aged a minimum of 14 years, this cognac boasts a rich amber colour and aromas of honey, peach, apricot, fig, almonds, and walnuts. Its powerful, balanced, and elegant taste, with intense fruity aromas and a long finish, enhances the delicate flavours of the appetizers for a harmonious pairing.

After the delicious cognac pairing, we had a feast with whiskies, at a couple more Curate Group outlets in Platinum Park. At Wagyu Kappo, where the raw energy of taiko drummers and haka performances set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. Here, guests will enjoy Royal Salute 21-year-old whiskies—The Signature Blend’s rich and smoky aromas, The Blended Grain’s creamy vanilla and fruity notes, and The Malts Blend’s honeyed sweetness and kick of tanginess—paired respectively with a menu of beef consommé, true foie gras risotto, and Yaeyame Kyori wagyu.
Finally, Park Grill offers a journey back to the Gatsby era, where jazz music fills the air and the nostalgia and opulence of the Roaring Twenties come alive. Against this backdrop of 1920s glamour, the centrepiece of this leg of the journey is the tasting of Chivas Regal’s ultra-prestige blended scotch whiskies paired with Park Grill’s culinary feasts.
