At the Anantara Riverside’s Spice & Barley, pan-Asian fare curated by Singaporean celebrity chef Sam Leong meets exclusive Belgian beers.
Bursting with chinoiserie, from the Chinese-inspired live entertainment to the wait staff dressed in cheongsam, the venue follows the meandering global journeys of three fictional Sichuan sisters, who have left mainland China for destinations like Taiwan and Europe.
For food, that means dishes ranging from Szechuan mapo tofu (B300) and Taiwanese claypot chicken (B580) to dim sum like tom yum kung lava buns (B280).
Drinks-wise, Belgian brewery Cornelissen has produced a handful of beers just for the venue (pilsner, wheat, and wheat rosé; B200/330ml, B300/500ml). There are other craft beers by the bottles (Brewdog, Chalawan, Deschutes; B270-350) and a range of cocktails equally inspired by the overarching theme (from B250), plus wines, ciders, spirits, and juices.
