The décor of this restaurant fits in well with the resort hotel that houses it – relaxed and Mediterranean in style, with cheeky explanations for its name in the form of turquoise mosaics, inlaid with silvery mother-of-pearl. Catering mainly to tourists, the buffet spread is understandably international and generously-portioned, with Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Malay and Italian cuisines all well represented, but mystifyingly, no abalone. The main attraction is the shawarma rotisserie: well-marinated spicy skewers of chicken are slow roasted until moist and smoky, and served in pitta bread with cous cous. Service is cheery and efficient.WINE: The hotel wine list offers a decent selection by the bottle and by the glass.

Another of those fantastic restaurants with which the Sentosa resort abounds, this one situated on a hill overlooking jungle greenery and the glinting, tropical sea beyond. The ambience is laid back and charming, and the service is likewise. On top of that, the restaurant offers one of the best buffet deals in Singapore – apart from a fresh, iced selection of seafood that includes slipper lobsters and oysters, the outdoor grill station — located literally almost in the jungle — can be requested to grill anything you want. This time we went for some char-grilled beef and lamb, succulent and cooked exactly how we like it, and, just to make an occasion of it, a lobster – grilled until sweet, crustaceous, smoky and delicious. Special mention must be made of the Indonesian ayam panggang, a dry chicken curry and one of the best dishes on the buffet. And I have to admit that while the a la carte lamb cutlets and salmon steak Nicoise ordered by some of my companions were distinctly out of place, they were well-cooked and delicious. All in all, everything here adds up to a very pleasant, relaxed dining experience. WINE: A short wine list with two cracking whites and two corking reds as house pours.
