Lovers of caviar can revel in head chef Andrea De Paolo’s New Year’s Eve Black & Gold Gala Dinner menu ($450/person). Designed to showcase Antonius Caviar’s Oscietra caviar - harvested from Russian Sturgeon from Lyna River, Poland - the six-course tasting menu revolves around the gleaming gems’ uniquely briney yet nutty profile. Key dishes include the sublime pairing with smoked eel cream and egg “Milanese” style as well as crunchy grilled asparagus layered with almond cream. Diners are also given complimentary access to the Countdown Party over at the Terrace Lounge, where their resident DJ will be spinning a series of high-octane beats to go with the unparalleled view of Singapore’s sparkling skyline.

New Year’s Eve Black & Gold Gala Dinner is available on 31 December 2019 from 9pm. Dinner is priced at $450/person, with option of free flow Champagne, house wines, spirits, and beer from 8:30pm to 11:00pm at an additional $200.

15 Stamford by Alvin Leung
At 15 Stamford by Alvin Leung, Hong Kong-based maverick chef Alvin Leung has impressed Singapore with an adventurous yet accessible menu - and its New Year’s Eve Set Menu ($168, with a complimentary glass of Champagne) is no different. Luxurious ingredients, from Wagyu beef cheek to black truffles, are majicked into a six-course Asian-fusion extravaganza. Highlights include Leung’s take on the ubiquitous laksa, with Hokkaido scallops laid atop a bed of Israeli couscous and topped with dried shrimps and laksa espuma, as well as his reimagination of the humble Chinese New Year treat of pineapple tart. Book your tables early for complimentary seats to the exclusive vantage point for fireworks viewing come midnight are limited.

The New Year’s Eve Set Menu is available on 31 December 2019 at $168, with an option for wine pairing. Complimentary glass of champagne and exclusive access to vantage point for fireworks viewing (subject to availability).

Atlas
Sip on the bar’s renowned selection of craft cocktails (that won its no.8 place on the World’s 50 Best Bars list), house pour Champagne, wines and beers while jiving to DJ Titus’ signature blend of urban-cum-hip-hop tunes.

The kitchen will also be doling out favourites from their grazing menu like moreish arancini, mini croque monsieur and jamon on toast.
