Luxury travel inspiration from the Asia-Pacific region

At this airy yet cozy restaurant inside the newly renovated <a href="https://www.hyatt.com/grand-hyatt/en-US/sinrs-grand-hyatt-singapore" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="broken_link">Grand Hyatt Singapore</a>, renowned Dutch chef Sergio Herman has created a magical world of discovery from arrival to dessert. A red leather-clad wine tunnel provides a theatrical entrance to Le Pristine, whose open kitchen turns out New Italian cuisine influenced by Herman’s homeland of Zeeland: a region of the Netherlands where seafood and shellfish benefit from living in the most pristine of waters.
The menu, overseen by Austrian chef Sebastian Feldbacher, is richly inventive, from the pizzette of chili king crab, basil, and zucchini to the final of four appetizers: foie gras topped with caviar and langoustine, presented in individual caviar tins and decorated with tiny petals of soursop. The main event started with a silkily delicate presentation of scallop, hamachi, butternut squash, and truffle and finished with Black Angus beef accompanied by pot-au-feu vegetables, burrata nestled in the heart of a butterhead lettuce, and golden arancini filled with meaty beef cheek.
The tasting menu culminated in a signature dessert: Tiramisu Collapsed, a rich but not overly sweet rendition of the classic, the sweetness deferred by a clever spritz of citrus. The final space was reserved for vanilla ice cream à la minute, dressed in chocolate and caramelized nuts, evoking childhood days of summer. Portions are generous, so make an early-evening booking to enjoy the experience at leisure. —Alison Marshall
