Sky on 57
is gastronomic dining experience opened by Singaporean French trained
Chef Justin Quek. Located on the 57th floor of Tower 1
Marina Bay Sands ('MBS'), this restaurant provide the awesome view of
Singapore skyline to accompany your dining experience. According to
the MBS website written by those tongue twisting PR people, Sky on 57
showcase a modern interpretation of Franco Asian Cuisine. Chubby
Botak Koala's simple interpretation, fusion between Asian &
French cuisine. So it is normal to see Chicken Rice, Laksa or Xiao
Long Bao serve side by side with Foie Gras, Wild Mushroom Risotto and
Champagne on the same table.
Before we
proceed further, let us be clear that this review is based on our
visit to the Sky on 57 Terrance Bar, not the main restaurant.
We visited
the sky bar for drinks on one Wednesday night. Luckily without
reservation, we manage to get a seat. As we were then ushered to our
seat, I can feel my jaw dropped. The Terrance Bar has a first class
view of Singapore CBD skyline, including the Fullerton Hotel and
Esplanade. The view can be only described as Breathtaking!.
Magnificent! Amazing!

This
section is open air, with luxurious outdoor lazy sofas and cushioned
stools. Basically the environment persuade you to sit down, chill
out, enjoy the comfortable background music, have a little nibble and
drinks & at the same time soaking up the beautiful atmosphere.
Definitely a good place to bring someone special or clients from
overseas. A place to proposed to your loved ones, is also not out of
the question.
The menu
has a good selection of alcoholic beverages, however as we were on
non alcohol diet at this moment, we ended up with mocktails. Our
mocktails are mixed with strawberry, mango & pineapples and lime
& mint; priced around $10.

For
finger foods, we had Fried “Sakura” Chicken ($18) and Wok fried
Australian beef short ribs in salt and pepper ($25). Fried “Sakura”
Chicken is crispy on the outside but juicy and succulent on
the inside. The marinate is quite subtle, and it is served with lemon
mayonnaise and chilli sauce.

The beef short ribs is tender
and juicy, covered with fragrant fried garlic and chilli. Unlike the
Korean sweet version of short beef marinated, JQ's (Justin Quek)
style of marination is more on the salty side. It was well marinated,
but expect to get your fingers dirty as you need to deal with the
bones of the short ribs.

The service here was first
class. The service staff are friendly, well trained and very
accommodating. They are always on their toes but you won't feel their
presence intruding your evening. We totally enjoy our visit here.
Overall, Sky on 57 Terrance Bar
is a must place to visit. The beautiful Singapore skyline at night is
just magnificent. The food and beverages are priced reasonably and it
is value for money considering the location. Cheers!!
