New Gourmet Concepts
Maison Boulud by distinguished chef and restaurateur Daniel Boulud is a new French dining addition that mirrors the success of its counterpart in Montreal. The menu spotlights Boulud’s inventive takes on classic French recipes, using high-grade seasonal produce that manifests into servings of succulent seafood salad with crispy haricots, a gorgeous seafood platter brimming with oysters, lobsters and prawns; a Mediterranean-inspired claypot rice; signature French confections; and more. Diners can also enjoy a fine selection of wines from international regions, alongside essence-laden aperitifs.
“We have had the privilege of working with chef Daniel Boulud since the opening of Marina Bay Sands in 2010 and we are thrilled to partner with him once again to bring his celebrated dining concept to Singapore. As the sole French restaurant on our property, we look forward to broadening our culinary portfolio,” says John Sloane, the vice president of food and beverage at Marina Bay Sands. The restaurant is located at B1-15 and L1-83 in the South Promenade within The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, with indoor seatings across two levels and an outdoor terrace. Dining reservations are now open for lunch and dinner.
Diversifying the hotel’s roster of celebrity chef establishments is estiatorio Milos by chef Costas Spiliadis, a sought-after Greek restaurant that has been in the market for 45 years. This marks the brand’s first Asian outpost and 10th international location. Here, diners are treated to an upscale epicurean adventure of uncomplicated cooking, centring on sun-ripened harvest; an abundant use of olive oil, herbs and spices; and a bountiful spread of oceanic catches. Vegetables are presented beyond a mere side dish, leading with stacks of well-browned zucchini and eggplant paired with creamy tzatziki and piquant Kefalograviera cheese. Diners can also enjoy a vast collection of 350 Greek wines to complement their meal.

Wondrous Exhibitions At ArtScience Museum
On 4 October 2024, ArtScience Museum is set to uncover one of its most extensive and ambitious exhibitions to date—the eagerly awaited World of Studio Ghibli. Vice president of ArtScience Museum, Honor Harger, shares his enthusiasm: “For years, we have been trying to bring a Studio Ghibli show to Singapore and it’s finally here—the big one! Their visually sumptuous films explore humanist topics like ecology and nature, and diverse female characters who are strong, independent, complex, sensitively nuanced, and yet relatable,” Harger said. “As such, the show—likely to be one of the biggest in our history—perfectly aligns our Year of Extraordinary Women theme.”
This graphic-driven thematic showcase will celebrate some of the best loved animated films of all time across 11 gallery spaces, including My Neighbour Totoro, Princess Mononoke, and Spirited Away. Visitors will get a chance to explore elaborate theatrical sets representing Studio Ghibli’s storied history, large-scale installations, and engaging activities. Grab your tickets online now and be among the first to witness this depictive spectacle.
