Decided to have an atas lunch with daughter and this cafe is by the pool side. I must say Marriott Hotel has a really nice and swanky pool. Eating your lunch here and watch folks chillax by the pool generates a very peaceful feeling.

I opted for the grilled cod and it was fresh and perfectly grilled. Layer of grilled crisp on the outside and soft buttery fish on the inside. Very good!

Daughter ordered her usual pasta and they don't have a large selection so she decided to try their lobster linguine. It's not a tomato nor cream base pasta, more like aglio olio style. The lobster is quite big and it was fresh. However, I found the pasta a tad under-seasoned. It's not bad.

We were greedy and ordered a mash potato to share. It's served in a tiny cast iron pot but the flavours are spot on and the creamy texture had us both hooked! Social politeness prevented us from licking the pot clean. Heh

Not a place to have regular lunch as it is atas but service is great and it's overall a very enjoyable experience.

This spring, Marriot Tang Plaza Hotel’s Pool Grill has launched “All About White Asparagus” menu. One will surely ask this golden question- what is the difference between white and green asparagus? White asparagus is grown underground, away from light hence the vegetable does not produce chlorophyll. Considered to be a delicacy, white asparagus has a milder flavour and are more tender compared to green asparagus.
STARTERS
Buttered White Asparagus with poached egg and hollandaise sauce S$20.00++
Perched atop a row of neatly arranged white asparagus, the perfectly poached egg reveals a river of golden yolk that flows and coats the savoury butter vegetable. Simple combination of ingredients, yet, so delectable!
White Asparagus Soup with seared scallop and avruga caviar as topping S$26.00++
Oh, what a lovely soup! This luxe creation, a crowd pleaser that night, charmed with light yet hearty flavours. I especially enjoyed the seared scallop and luxurious caviar.
Grilled white asparagus salad with figs and arugula S$22.00++
For a refreshing start to the meal, the white asparagus and arugula salad, enhanced with sweetness from a fig, will be ideal.
MAINS
Pan-fried sea bass with white asparagus, clams, mussel chowder S$36.00+
In this dish, the skilfully pan-fried, crispy sea bass sits in a pool of rich mussel chowder, accentuated with white asparagus and clams. Seafood lovers should not miss this.
Lobster Ravioli, langoustine, white asparagus and squid ink sauce S$48.00++
Lobster and white asparagus, doesn’t this sound heavenly? Executive Chef Matthew Van Der Zwan combines handmade lobster ravioli, succulent langoustine, white asparagus, and completes the dish with squirts of squid ink sauce. Exquisite!
Gratinated Beef Tenderloin buttered white asparagus; porcini crust and truffle sauce S$72.00++
Carnivores should not miss the juicy porcini-crusted beef tenderloin, harmoniously accompanied with white asparagus and truffle sauce.
DESSERTS
Strawberry Romanoff
There’s always space for sweett endings! We had Strawberry Romanoff, which was a tangy dessert with hints of alcohol, meringue and vanilla ice cream. A light dessert perfect for the current sweltering weather.
“All About White Asparagus” is available till 31st May 2016, during both lunch and dinner. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience this artisanal produce and excellent dishes!

 From 15 February to 13 March 2016, you can taste the characteristic of Chef Albert cooking at Pool Grill. I was fortunate enough to be the first few to sample his gastronomic delight in 4 course dinner ($58++)

The bread, Onion Focaccia. The signature bread from Marriott bakery. The crust on top and bottom was just crispy, while the inner part of the bread is soft, moist with fragrance from the onion.

The Condiments: Butter, Olive Oil and Vinaigrette & Floss

 Appetizer - Pan-seared scallop, “sofrito” puree, chorizo “migas”, caviar oil and dill. The scallop is nicely seared, sweet and brainy. The texture is so soft, like cutting through a butter with hot knife. The sofrito puree, made from capsicum and olive oil provided a subtle companion to the scallop. For crispy, crumbly texture, Chef Albert added aromatic chorizo migas, which is a traditional dish in Spain made from day old bread. The touch of caviar helps brings out the flavour of the sea in this dish.

 Starter - grilled octopus, crusty pork jowl, buttered mashed potato and smoked Spanish paprika oil. Chef Albert version of surf and turf. The octopus was sous-vide before it was grilled to add texture and flavour. It has a delicate springy texture and succulent as well. The pork jowl has the perfect ratio between fats and meat and basically melts in your mouth. Love the buttery flavour of the smooth mash potatoes, and the paprika oil add a subtle spicy kick to the dish.

 Main – braised beef cheek, olive oil crashed potato, baby carrots and passion fruit. A must try dish for a beef lover. The beef cheek was so soft, I only need my fork to peel each layer of this dish. Accompanied with sweet baby carrots and rustic feel of crushed potatoes. The intense sauce is beef stock reduction finished off with red wine and passion fruit for a twist tanginess.

 Dessert – dark chocolate ice cream, char-grilled banana, gorgonzola cheese and caramelised butter. It was not the ending that I expected. The heat from the grilled banana actually melted the ice cream. Instead of dark chocolate ice cream, it turn out to be dark chocolate cream. The pairing of intense pungent flavour of gorgonzola cheese with dark chocolate “cream” provided a unique yet pleasant finish to the dish.

 We were seated in the huge Chinese style pavilion, where it can seat about 20 people. To keep everyone cool, an unique fan called “Big Ass Fan” is used. It control the temperature nicely without messing up your hair or blowing everything off the table. It was indeed a pleasant outdoor dining experience. According to our host, the gazebo is frequently used for wedding solemnisation.

Marriott’s Pool Grill is a lovely spot to enjoy a relaxing lunch or romantic dinner. Singapore’s unforgiving weather is always a consideration when dining al fresco, hence we dressed light. However, we were surprised how cool the restaurant was, thanks to some of the air-conditioning flowing out from the hotel (especially if you sit closer to the entrance) as well as powerful ceiling fans.
I came with expectation that everything would be very casual at the Pool Grill, but again was surprised with its sophisticated elegance. Luckily, I dressed up for this lunch appointment my friend.
Service is attentive, warm and polite. However, the staff failed to inform us that they ran out of bone marrow and replaced it with vine tomatoes without checking with my friend. It’s an understatement that she was upset as she was looking forward to the bone marrow with much anticipation.
Lunch started with complimentary Onion Foccacia. We loved its soft innards and crispy exterior.
The Pool Grill Signature Caesar Salad ($19), is prepared and served at your table. The whole affair is rather pageantry, but sadly the salad tasted pedestrian. You can opt to add grilled chicken breast, smoked salmon and grilled prawns for an additional $6, $7 and $8.50 respectively. Order this if you have a thing for fanfare.
The Lobster Bisque ($17) fared much better. The robust flavors of the royal crustacean delighted the palate. We like that its texture, is light and not overly rich. Sitting in the enticing soup is a generous chuck of succulent lobster.
My one true love is grilled prawns and I came to Pool Grill specifically to try this. The Grilled Tiger Prawns ($38 for 200g) were skillfully grilled, and each mouthful rewards with an alluring smoky char, and a crunch that can only come from fresh prawns. The coriander salsa verde sauce is also superb accompaniment.
In the background, is Beer Battered Potato Fritters ($7) seasoned with truffle salt. This could have been nicer if it was less greasy.
After waiting for ages, my dining companion’s 400 day grain fed Australian Wagyu Ribeye ($69) finally arrived. She requested for medium, but it turned up well done. What’s more, the roasted bone marrow which accompanies the steak was replaced with vine tomatoes without her knowledge. Her only comfort came from the melt-in-the-mouth Foie Gras ($15) add on and lobster butter, one Pool Grill’s home-made condiments.
Do yourself a favor, skip desserts here. Both desserts we tried, did not follow through their projected image, The Banofee ($14), a dessert with toffee, banana, crumble and chocolate balls was average at best.
The Chocolate Raspberry Trifle ($14) yielded nothing but disappointment. The jelly was served warm and the sponge cake was absent of the typical moist, soaked consistency associated with trifle.

More misses than hits with the a la carte menu at Pool Grill, but I won’t write off this place yet, simply because I love the ambiance here, which exudes resort living and is away from crowds. I’d like to return to try the value-for-money set lunch which is available from Mondays to Saturdays- $33++ for 3 courses plus free flow of ice tea or hot beverages. Set dinners are also available at $48++.

 The restaurant overlooks the pool which is lighted up at night. One could also see the light-up from the surrounding buildings.

Tonight all four of us are having the dinner set which costs $48++ per set. With the entertainer mobile application, one is also entitled to 1-for-1 dinner set. It is a great deal for us, as it means that we will be paying half the price of the original price. The set dinner consists of a starter, a main and a dessert.

 We start the meal with bread, served with butter, olive oil and assorted nuts. Both are refillable. I like that the bread is serving pipping hot and the texture is soft and pillowy. We can't help asking for a second serving. We are also served lemon flavoured iced water which is refillable regularly.

For the starters, there is 3 choices available.
Wild Mushroom Soup, Shaved Truffle

 Vanilla Creme Brulee, Fresh Berries ($16 A-la carte)
This is the least favourite out of the 3 desserts as most of us feel that it is a bit too sweet. I feel the sponge cake which the fruits sit on, is lacking of texture.

Overall the food is great and well valued for money. I am surprised that the place is not crowded. Through out the whole meal, there is only 3 other tables occupied besides us. So it is easy to get the attention of the staffs. The staffs are friendly and make good recommendation. The place is quiet and cooling. Great for one to enjoy a meal smoothly.

A week back, I chance upon having my first fine dining experience at Pool Grill restaurant located in the heart of Orchard at Marriott Hotel. To kick off with my verdict of the outdoor restaurant, I would like to highlight that the place was filled with elegant dining set complementing with the sky pool which gave audiences a cozy ambience.

Beside the ala cart menu, Pool Grill Restaurant do serve 3 meal course set dinner menu which consists of 1 Starter, 1 Main and 1 Dessert. The chef restaurant will prepare dishes based on customers’ preference. Likewise, their service was fast and excellent too. Indulge with my dining moment at Pool Grill, I would like to share with you guys the dishes I had tried during my tasting session.

THE STARTER

I have chosen Pool Grill’s Caesar salad to be my starter dish. Despite the salty taste of the fish in the salad, the dish was well-seasoned and fresh and it is good for appetizer.

THE MAIN

Next, I selected pan roasted butterfish for my main dish. I am totally in love with the sweet taste of the tender butterfish, thus it comes with cauliflower puree and Shiraz reduction to make the dish look healthy. Fish lover will love it! However, there are other two selections which are ‘braised boneless beef short rib’ and ‘roast chicken breast’ and are definitely worth the price!

THE DESSERT

‘Cheese Board’ is one of the recommended dessert dishes to end off a delighted meal. It is a selection of artisanal European cheeses, crackers, homemade nut confit and quince paste. It tastes savory and is value for sharing. Yummy!

I had a delightful dining experience with my friends at Pool Grill @ Singapore Marriott Hotel. Thumb up for the excellent services and delicious dishes. Concurrently while having my three-meal dinner course, I am able to enjoy seeing lights display from the opposite Ion Orchard and also feel the refreshing wind cooling the outdoor ambience.
