Ember is a small, modern and unpretentious restaurant located in Hotel 1929, which offers Western/Fusion Ember cuisine. Some of my favourite girlies treated me to Ember to my birthday last week. Short to say, FINE quality food, as expected from Chef Sebastian Ng from the Marmalade group’s Pierside Kitchen & Bar and prior experience in Four Seasons Hotel, Raffles Hotel and pasta training at Piedmont Italy as well as training stints at Hotel De Mikuni in Tokyo. Chef Sebastian is known for his pastas, meats and seafood, which reflects in the mains we ordered. So thankful to be treated my friends to fine exquisite food.

Top grade Wagyu Beef for 2 – well marbled! Melts in your mouth

I know many people rave about the Apple Tart @Ember, but this soft melty Nougat served with lychee sorbet is hands-down my favourite dessert. Unanimously voted the best on the table too
Apple Tartin with vanilla ice cream
Tiramisu
Definitely not the cheapest meal, but WOW, I enjoyed the exquisiteness and details in every dish. All the dishes were cooked in a way that brought out the natural flavours of the ingredients. Complex yet complementary combination tastes. I heard the set lunches are the best value for money so hope to be back to try it some day! I also like how they tired local Singaporeans on their serving crew which adds a local touch to the service. Thanks for a superb birthday dinner, Restaurant Ember!
