A BOTANICAL EDEN IN THE HEART OF THE CITY

[ Singapore, 15 October 2020] Nestled within Singapore’s city centre and a stone’s throw from the scenic Kampong Glam enclave, PARKROYAL on Beach Road, Singapore unveils its fully refurbished all-day dining restaurant, Ginger on 15 October 2020 after extensive renovation, to reveal a unique look that celebrates the abundance of Singapore’s natural beauty in the cosmopolitan city-state. The spacious restaurant with a gorgeous private dining area beckons guests to retreat into a lush sanctuary, and tempts them with an irresistible á la carte buffet that showcases the best of Singaporean flavours.

A REFRESHED DINING EXPERIENCE

Helmed by the hotel’s resident culinary master Executive Chef Vincent Aw and his team, Ginger is where one satiates all cravings for local delights – including the Signature Crabs (Chilli, Pepper and Kam Heong) that were a wildly popular free-flow favourite from before, while dining in an inviting space decked out in colours and textures inspired by the versatile plant that is loved for its flavours and health benefits.

“The menu is heavily influenced by the rich diversity of Singapore’s culinary heritage, along with a sprinkling of South East Asian flavours, marrying the best of traditional tastes and cooking techniques, with a modern and sometimes, unexpected twist.” he shares.

General Manager of PARKROYAL on Beach Road, Paolo Campillo elaborates, “Ginger has always been well-loved for its bountiful buffets and Singaporean flavours. While we make our grand entrance back in the market following a complete makeover with enhanced offerings and stunning interiors, we were absolutely mindful to retain the essence of the restaurant, in keeping with the hotel’s landmark location in the culturally rich precinct of Kampong Glam.”

“We are excited to present a completely refreshed PARKROYAL on Beach Road by the year-end, and are well into the final stages to complete Club 5 – the iconic destination bar – and the hotel lobby, as part of our continuous efforts to bring guests a refreshed and updated lifestyle and experience.” he adds.

Ginger will also soon be halal-certified to welcome even more guests.

A WARM WELCOME TO GINGER

Natural elements complement vibrant botanical design

The stunning ambience of Ginger is brought to life by award-winning Singapore-based Australian designer Emma Maxwell. Natural, raw elements such as timber and stone are lightly accented with nickel and brass but softened by a floral narrative through specially commissioned wallpapers and furniture textiles by fabric designer Kerrie Brown.

Maxwell brings her signature layered, worldly and eclectic style into the space, introducing natural light and a calming palette as fresh and seductive as meandering through Singapore’s Botanic Gardens. Guests will be delighted to recognise local flora like ginger flower, Simpoh Lak, and Freycinetia Javanica artfully woven into layers of detail.

Maxwell said: "The space captures, to me, the spirit of 'A City In A Garden'. I wanted to bring the lightness and natural beauty of Singapore to Ginger and PARKROYAL on Beach Road, which deftly showcases contemporary interpretations of classic Singapore dishes."

For special occasions and intimate weddings of up to 50 guests, a beautiful private dining area (above) that overlooks the scenic Kampong Glam stretch is the ideal choice. A beautifully landscaped facade located just outside the restaurant serves as a picture perfect backdrop thereafter.

À la Carte Lunch and Dinner Buffet Menu Highlights

Every effort is made to plate each dish beautifully, ensuring that this á la carte buffet experience is unlike others. Guests can also be assured of top-notch ingredients and meticulous preparation – all sauces, for example, are homemade. Guests may scan a QR code for the digital menu that showcases up to 53 dishes, and thereafter select their preferred dish and portion size. All buffet items are free-flow and served to the table.

Recommended dishes:

• Crisps and Crackers with Sambal – a delightful combination of fish and prawn crackers, as well as emping belinjo (Indonesian-style crackers) accompanied by homemade sambal 
• Dried Shrimp and Garlic Cream Cheese Bun – this version is Chef’s local take on the popular cheesy Korean bread using dried shrimp 
• Slow-braised Beef Rendang – this melt-in-your-mouth, flavourful and slightly spicy Australian beef cheek has been slow braised for 24 hours 
• Crispy Lamb with Thai Green Sauce* – this lip-smacking creation is at once crisp and tender – a result of first marinating lamb ribs in a secret local spice blend, then coating with flour and deep-frying. The accompanying homemade Thai mint sauce lifts the entire dish to new heights.
