Signature bites and fresh produce
Up for a grand culinary tour of over 20 Marina Bay Sands restaurants? Sample signature plates from Adrift, Pizzeria Mozza, RISE, Spago, Waku Ghin and more this year. International buffet restaurant RISE is also celebrating local cuisine in a big way with the new Singapore Street Food experience. Oh, and you get to be among the first to enjoy exciting new spots such as restaurant/ lounge/ bar/ nightclub LAVO and French tearoom/ patisserie Angelina Café (favourite of Marcel Proust and Coco Chanel).
