Programs and Activities to be refined in 2019
At OPAL, you’ll enjoy private family dining, rooftop barbeque parties, and authentic ethnic cuisine such as steamed live seafood and double boiled soup. We will offer farm-to-table menus with wholesome produce from local suppliers and our own garden. At the Chef’s Table, be inspired by culinary demonstrations and group classes by our own Executive Chef, and other renowned chefs. By our open display kitchen, you can watch the action and smell the aromas at the communal table or at the display counter. See our chefs using their torches for aburi sashimi and sushi. Customize your salads. Smell the aromas of our in-house pastries as they come out of our ovens. Under the guidance of our chefs, make pizza, pasta and ice cream with your grandchildren. When there’s great food, of course there’s also beverage to complement. We will have wine and scotch tastings, fruit-and-herb infused water bar, afternoon High Tea service with delicate in-house pastries and loose leaf teas from around the world.
