How does a garden party by the sea with a sumptuous spread of fresh seafood, grilled meats and decadent dessert sound to you? Top that with entertainment for the kids and water play after, all on our sunny island! Here’s our day away at Sunday Garden Party at Atmosphere By The Sea in Shangri La’s Rasa Sentosa Resort & Spa. It’s almost like a day trip for us.
Driving into Sentosa, and arriving at Shangri La’s Rasa Sentosa Resort & Spa, we headed directly towards Atmosphere by The Sea. There were both indoor and outdoor seating and with two kids who are bound to perspire in the afternoon sun (and us as well, from fussing over them), we went for indoor seating. It was truly a relaxing and nice view from our dining area as most tables were facing the sea view.
Walking through the line of food, all meticulously prepared
and displayed, I was in awe. I went for the fresh seafood first as I was
attracted by the seafood tower overflowing with king crab legs, lobsters,
prawns and oysters. This was my favourite and I went back for more. The king
crab legs were so succulent and sweet, and the prawns and lobsters all tempted me go for more servings. Just look at this spread.
There was a live carving station, with succulent roasts, in the outdoors by the waterfront.
And a comprehensive array of appetisers, soups, pastas.
Here's the selection of over 12 types of gourmet cheese imported from France.
Especially for the kids, there was a special buffet corner including hotdog buns, nuggets and fries, waffles and pancakes as well as spaghetti bolognaise. How thoughtful. Although these weren’t the most healthy options but they sure kept the kids happy. I love the fries and nuggets too and stole some from their plates.
Always leaving room for dessert, I could not decide which not to go for. Just look at their presentation. We ended up trying a little of everything and I especially like their macarons and cheese cake.
There was also an ice cream station for the kids to personalize their own ice cream flavors and toppings. I was impressed by the very attentive and caring service staff throughout, how they greeted us at the door, arranging for the utensils and drinks for the kids and helping them at the buffet line.
There was a live music performance, and for the kids, a
magic show and balloon sculpting by the sea. This gave us a breather when the
kids participated in the activities.
We went to chill by the sea before making our way to water play in the resort.
The Sunday Garden Party includes complimentary access to the resort’s natural water swimming pool, children’s slides and splash pad so do remember to pack your swim suits. Simply check with the restaurant staff for your wrist tag to access the water area. What a great idea, to burn off the calories and for the kids to enjoy water play.
It was a truly indulgent day away for us and we would
recommend this for families with young kids as it was very family friendly,
almost 80% of the diners were with kids. The restaurant staff were all really
good with kids and they came by frequently to check if we needed anything. Parking
was also just by the water play area so it was convenient for us to bring our
strollers and still be able to access the car if we forgot anything. Free
parking is available on a first come first served basis, ask for your parking
coupon before you leave the restaurant.
