Join us as we share with you two of our top spots, where you can also enjoy a glass of Voyager Estate wine with your dining experience.

Ember Restaurant, Hotel 1929

Ember is a chic new restaurant that serves inventive and modern European cuisine with a tinge of Asian and Japanese influence. Its décor is a successful fusion of modern, clean lines and interesting designer furniture. Its clever blend of heavy wood tone flooring varies over a series of levels from the entrance, dining room and kitchen. The dining room is decked out with reproduction ‘Z’ chairs in cream and dark wood and vintage Louis Poulsen lamps “rescued” from the former Danish parliament building. The subtle mellow light tones and the careful use of direct but controlled illumination on dining tables enhance the visual impact of each dining experience. The man behind the kitchen and Ember’s dining concept is Chef Sebastian Ng, whose honed culinary skills bring joy to the table. He has a fastidious nature when it comes to finding the perfect ingredient for the perfect dish. Sebastian’s signature focus on pasta, game meats and seafood continues at Ember. To complement the meal, a specially-selected international wine list is at hand, which includes Voyager Estate wines.

The Ember Restaurant is located inside Hotel 1929 and is conveniently located near the Chinatown MRT station and just a 5-minute taxi ride from the heart of the business district. For discerning gourmands, who never compromise on anything short of culinary excellence, Ember is something not to be missed.

The Moomba Restaurant

The Moomba Restaurant is an award-winning fine dining establishment that offers uplifting and contemporary Australian-inspired cuisine. Its name is derived from a 40,000-year-old Aboriginal word which means “Let’s get together!” Decorated with vibrant Aboriginal motifs and paintings, it is set in a warm and cosy two-storey dining space. Serving up quality Australian cuisine for the past thirteen years, the restaurant only uses the best of seasonal produce, most of it imported from Australia. The innovative cuisine can be described as having “flavours that are complex yet simple”. Savvy use of ingredients such as herbs and infused oils, add depth to the Moomba signature dishes, such as barbeque kangaroo loin with white truffle-infused apple-soya glaze, sautéed sugar peas, mushrooms and wasabi potato mash. The restaurant also offers an extensive wine list to complement the menu and has a large selection of Australian wines for sale in the wine shop upstairs. The chef’s talent for melding flavours together, without changing the innate texture of the ingredients, is definitely one of the reasons why Moomba is a firm favourite for locals and visitors alike: a little bit of Australia with some Singapore swing.
