This French neo-brasserie’s latest series, titled Friends of Claudine, invites international chefs to Claudine’s kitchen to showcase their signature creations. Kicking off the series is French guest chef Daniel Baratier, who introduced a mouth-watering a la carte menu inspired by his hometown, Haute-Savoie, and autumn’s bounty. Anticipate dishes like Baratier’s signature pate en croute, a meat pie comprising pork, hazelnuts and picked shitake, then delicately encased in a buttery puff pastry. Don’t miss out on the crisp suckling pig accompanied by bittersweet black pudding. Rich flavours are balanced with the addition of swede and pork jus. Available on November 26 and 27.

Thai celebrity chef Ian Kittichai has launched his latest dining concept, Soi Social, at Resorts World Sentosa. You’re invited to go on a gastronomic journey through his innovative dishes that present classic Thai fare with a contemporary lens. Savour tantalising creations such as the barbecue Southern-style marinated toothfish grilled over binchotan and bathed in a yellow curry sauce; and seared scallops. The latter is served nam-tok (or meat salad-style) and studded with dried chilli and a peppery Vietnamese coriander dressing. While you’re here, imbibe on thirst-quenching cocktails concocted with Thai ingredients and traditional Thai spirits. The refreshing Siam Sour, for one, is a medley of smooth Phraya rum, fresh lemon juice, egg white, hom mali rice and lemongrass syrup.

The newest addition to Boat Quay’s vibrant food scene is Quay House, serving up a host of delectable regional fare. Get started with the Burmese tomato salad, a refreshing seasonal tomato salad decorated in a silky chickpea dressing. Then, move on to mains like the Balinese kampung chicken marinated in a fragrant Betutu rub, a spice paste of various Southeast Asian herbs. It’s then grilled over woodfire to achieve succulent flesh and a crisp, charred skin. Save room for dessert in the form of the 888 chocolate, which is a take on the Chinese huat kueh, complete with banana ice cream, masala crumble and the anglaise.
