The Spot is the newest social hub at Singapore Downtown

The Spot is the newest social hub at Marina One that offers a holistic dining experience.

Newly opened on May 2, The Spot offers an eclectic menu fusing contemporary European cuisine with South East Asian ingredients. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, it’s a great place to celebrate or simply hang out with your family and friends.

As a starter, we indulged ourselves with some beverages to get us in the mood. Knowing that their mixologist Drazen Alingasa is a Filipino, it was not a surprise to see some Pinoy-inspired names on their list of crafted cocktails. Of course we had to order those, along with the classic red wine.

My personal favourite: Halo-Halo – chocolate & coffee liqueur, sweet, creamy and a hint of fruit.

Tagay, a mix of rum, white wine, citrus, and egg white.

A little cabernet before the main attraction.

Appetizers

My top pick for the appetizer is the chard-grilled octopus. Absolutely tasty with the peanut emulsion, and honestly it was my first time eating an octopus so that made the food more interesting.

Mains

The mains took a while to be served to us. For curry lovers, the pan-fried red snapper might be the perfect main for you. But I am biased towards beef shortribs, I just absolutely love it, so that is my top choice for the mains.

Desserts

Seeing some of the photos from their website, the desserts were what I was looking forward the most to try! The presentation is pretty, and finally tasting them was heaven! I kid you not, but we had two rounds of desserts because they were that great. Frozen salted chocolate peanut is the bomb!
