With the unveiling of their summer menu, available from 1 March to 31 August 2020, Capella Singapore Cassia continues to rejuvenate Cantonese fine dining. The new menu presents sophisticated seafood and meat dishes, as well as a unique Dim Sum offering, channelling Cassia’s culinary philosophy of respecting traditional Cantonese flavours while drawing inspiration from contemporary gastronomy. Designed by world-renowned architect André Fu, the restaurant transports you to the age-old spice routes in Southern and Western China, delivering an unforgettable epicurean experience.
Capella Singapore Cassia Signature Set – Summer
In Cassia’s Signature Set – Summer (SGD 129++), Chef Lee Hiu Ngai highlights fresh quality ingredients and lighter flavours with a penchant towards seafood. The six-course experience starts with a flavourful platter of Deep-Fried Lobster Roll with Mango and Cheese, Wok-Fried Codfish Coated with Cherry Sauce and Honey-Glazed Barbecued Arvinyó Omega 3 Pork Char Siew with Lemongrass. The lobster and codfish are deftly paired with fruit, enhancing the natural sweetness of the seafood, while the pork char siew is elevated with the citrus tang of the lemongrass.
The signature set continues with a nourishing Double-Boiled Rich Chicken Broth with Fish Maw, Dried Scallop and Flower Mushroom, the Wok-Fried Lobster with White Pepper, Ginger and Spring Onion and Wok-Fried Australian Wagyu Beef with Black Pepper Sauce. Both wok-fried dishes are cooked through the Wok Hei method, which enhances the ingredients to achieve a complex smoky flavour.
The final savoury course features the Pan-Fried Scallop, Fried Rice with Preserved Chinese Sausages, where the iconic dish is heightened through the buttery taste of the scallops. The meal ends with the Chilled Avocado Cream with Vanilla Ice Cream, which includes a rotating selection of Chef Lee’s signature sweet treats.
Wine pairing is available at an additional SGD 99, with highlights including Billecart-Salmon Brut Réserve NV, Fritz Haag Riesling Feinherb and Chateau Haut Pougnan Rouge, whilst a tea pairing featuring blends such as Pai Mu Tan & Melon (白牡丹) and Rain Flower Tea (南京雨花) is available for SGD 29.
