Dining

Kwee Zeen provides an all-day dining experience with open kitchen counters featuring Pan-Asian, Western, and Indian culinary creations and the Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa Sunday Brunch. Guests have a choice of indoor or alfresco dining where they can experience an intimate and lavish setting or dine among lush greenery and take in breathtaking coastal views of the South China Sea while enjoying their meal.

Kwee Zeen – Breakfast

Worth trying is the Claypot Pork served with fragrant jasmine rice. Marinated and stewed with star anise, cinnamon, ginger, Shaoxing wine, and dark soya sauce, this dish features a fork-tender and succulent Pork Knuckle covered with sweet and savoury gravy paired with white Shimeji mushrooms and Chinese cabbage. Another highly recommended main is the Wagyu Beef Burger, assembled with a ground beef patty, caramelized onions, fresh tomatoes, bacon, gherkin, fried egg, cheese, and lightly seared sesame buns, paired with a side of thick-cut fries. This is a flavour bomb, detonating in your mouth with every bite that you take. Layer by layer, the different ingredients and flavours of the burger unravel until you reach the ultimate taste sensation, the succulent, juicy meat.

Kwee Zeen – Wagyu Beef Burger

Alternatively, experience the beauty and escape to Southern Italy through a gastronomic journey, led by Head Chef Paolo Benedet, at The Cliff, aptly named for its scenic setting. Renowned for its unique and unparalleled dining experience, this restaurant boasts amazing sunsets and exquisite flavours sourcing only the freshest ingredients of the season to create lasting memories for its guests.

The Cliff – Burrata

A must try is the signature Burrata which is meticulously sourced from Apulia, South of Italy, known originally as the birthplace of the Burrata Cheese. The burrata is moist, creamy, and rich in flavour, resting on top of 24-month-aged Parma Ham, and paired beautifully together with roasted cherry tomatoes, basil pesto, and aged balsamic vinegar. This dish is a combination of flavours that entirely compliments one another; thus, it is recommended to explore this magnificent dish as an adventure, first by trying the different ingredients of the dish by itself before exploring the unique and dynamic pairings.

The Cliff – Sanchoku Wagyu Beef

The Sanchoku Wagyu Beef has to be the star of the show, mind-blowing and tantalizing to the tastebuds. Utilizing only wagyu beef with a marble score of 4 to 5, the Japanese Wagyu Ribeye is masterfully prepared with an intensively researched and modified porcini mushroom rub before it is grilled to precisely medium well doneness. This process further enhances the dish by giving it a better char and a deeper depth of flavours. Enjoy the protein over four variations, by itself, with mustard for the classic acidic twist, with smoked salt for added smoky intensity, and lastly with Yuzu Kosho, a versatile and vibrant Japanese condiment that adds a unique and zesty flavour made from a combination of yuzu citrus fruit, chili peppers, and salt, resulting in a pairing that is both spicy and citrusy. There are also roasted potatoes for the carbohydrate lovers, topped with Caribbean chilli for the extra oomph.

LeBar – Afternoon Tea

Spend the afternoon enveloped by the beauty of nature while indulging in a selection of sweet and savoury canapés accompanied by a variety of coffee and tea at LeBar. The Truffle Egg Mayo Sandwich and Lychee Rose Sable are simply irresistible.

Spa/Facilities

At Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa, unwinding in style is a given. Immerse in the epitome of relaxation by indulging in one of the deluxe poolside cabanas while sipping on signature cocktails from the poolside bar.
