Planning to usher in 2011 with us this Friday? Here are some tips on getting in and out of the resort and beating the jams -
Tip #1: Go Public
We encourage one and all to take public transport in for that day. Traffic is expected to be slow moving!
Tip #2: Remember these characters 'R-W-S-8'
Specially for 31 Dec, the frequency of our RWS 8 service fleet will be increased with the waiting time reduced from 5-7mins to 3-5mins
Tip #3: Know your exit strategy
If partying through the 2010-2011 window isn't your cup of tea, there are several (free and painless) ways to make your way out of the resort. Pick one and add it to your plan for the day:)
- Last RWS 8 service leaves the resort for VivoCity at 2a.m.
- Sentosa Express will also be extending their hours, last train leaves Waterfront Station at 1.35a.m.
Tip #4: Do not ignore Tip #1
For those who are still planning to drive in, do note the changes in parking rates for that day

Titled Grainge Black Angus Beef Striploin MS 3 with creamed chestnut, roasted artichoke, field mushrooms and bacon beef glace sand, this is one of Osia’s main highlights on the Christmas menu, available both on Christmas Eve and the day itself.

Look Mommy! Christmas but no snow!
[ Christmas blogpost part 1 by Tania H. ]
I heard from a friend’s six-year-old who lamented Christmas ain’t Christmas if it’s not a scene out of Home Alone. Remember ‘Kevin’ and his misadventures about town as he waded through thick snowfall which blanketed Chicago? It’s the slushy ‘ice kachang’ we’re missing in Singapore this festive period.

Remember ‘Kevin’ and his misadventures about town as he waded through thick snowfall which blanketed Chicago? It’s the slushy ‘ice kachang’ we’re missing in Singapore this festive period.
But thanks to Thomas Edison, we’ve got tons of light bulbs spreading the festive cheer all around Singapore and of course at Resorts World Sentosa. It’s our first ever Christmas and our theme this year is, “It’s a Musical Christmas at RWS”. If you haven’t already heard, we have Singapore’s tallest Christmas tree at 11-storey high in the Bull Ring™, all decked out in blue and silver! And we have up to 30 carolers standing at the base of the tree belting out Christmas tunes every weekend. It’s becoming our next hottest prime spot for photos, next to the Universal Studios Singapore globe of course.
With parties to attend and home celebrations aplenty, we have some excellent Christmas goodies for you to bring as gifts or for purely selfish indulgences *wink, wink*

Valentino, Retrospective: With The Experts
The anticipation is torturous, we know. Approximately 14 days are all that stands between you and the feast (to the eyes of course, the dresses aren't edible the last time we checked) of 100 Valentino dresses. But that doesn't stop us from still talking about it on our blog. Rubbing it in? Nah, we're probably just as, or even more, anxious than you are!
This week, we speak to 2 of our renowned local stylists - Karen Ng and Jerome Awasthi - on their take on the Italian's work.
About them...
Hailed as one of the "top 20 most invited socialites", Power Stylist Karen Ng is the founder of local style and image consultancy, Glitz, which targets high nett and high profile individuals. She is also the ambassador for French champagne brand G.H. Mumm.
Model-turned-stylist, Jerome Awasthi is no stranger to producing runway magic for international brand s like Marchesa, Louis Vuitton and Fendi nor fashioning budget buys to billion-dollar looks for magazines. Rising rapidly up the ranks in the local fashion scene, he was also named by Singapore as one of the 30 Singaporeans under 30 in 2008.

Karen: As far back as I can remember, Valentino is a brand synonymous with elegance and grandeur. For me, this Italian powerhouse is the epitome of sophistication, fashion at its finest. Valentino knows women and his collections reflect his love of women and the female body.
Jerome: Valentino - the brand till this date still resounds beauty, glamor and royalty. Immaculate detailing and intricate craftsmanship with romantic detailing that makes the women feel like they are the most beautiful person in the world every time they put on a Valentino gown.

A Race Like No Other
[by Jimmy S - amateur runner and inline 'speed' skater - who's always looking for more speed]
Team RWS took part in the race too! |
The first Sunday on December has become synonymous with the day for runners to meet and run. This year's inaugural Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore (SCMS) on Dec 5, 2010 - previously known as Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon - is one such Sunday.
However, this time round, change is in the air - the race format is slightly different. After capping out at 50,000 runners last year, the organisers realised that they'll need to re-strategise if they intend to increase the max number of participants. And increase they did - to 60,000 this year - with all three categories: 10km, 21km and the marathon 42.195km, starting at three different locations.
I signed up for the 21km and was really excited for the race - because for the first time ever, it runs through Sentosa and Universal Studios Singapore! That was until I was floored with a sprained ankle 3 weeks before the race.

Christmas Shopping Guide #1 - The Cute Ones
Buying a Christmas gift goes beyond mere shopping. It's an art.
The art of finding a gift that hasn't been presented before throughout the course of the year to the same loved one/ friend. The art of finding a gift that looks fitting for a 'Merry Christmas!' card to accompany it. And of course, in the local context, the art of getting the best deal! We are no experts ourselves but hopefully, this series will help you add some finishing moves (or buys, rather) to your festive shopping frenzy.
To kick-start it all, we bring you into the enchanted segment of our resort - Universal Studios Singapore.
The Cute Ones
Key challenge for this category of gifts: evoke an "awwwww" from receiver.
UNDER $10
These caught our eyes even before we saw the price tag. Love how the DreamWorks stars like Shrek and Princess Fiona are carved out in various shapes and sizes, and attached to pens. Perfect gifts for mass distribution (especially those volunteer Santas at kids parties) and they look great even without a wrapper!
'Awwwww' factor: 3/5

The Season of Giving
It's the time of the year again! Streets evolve into varying shades of Christmas, lit up by an explosion of light bulbs. Shopping centres start playing (sometimes nauseating) festive favourites like Jingle Bells and Silent Night with the occasional shopper humming along.
But what stands out most about Christmas is it being the season of GIVING. To the recipients, joy abounds. To the giver, it often translates into a mad rush of gift-hunting! If the latter describes you, fret no more:)
In the next few weeks leading up to Christmas, we will be recommending a series of one-of-a-kind gifts we've scouted for throughout the resort to stop all your hair-pulling, agonizing gift list forming process.
So watch this space for the best deals to share the festive joy this Christmas!
Check out our website too to find out how else you can catch the magic of Christmas at the resort.

Valentino, Retrospective: The Stars
" The work of Valentino is timeless..."
- Christian Biecher, architect for the Valentino, Retrospective exhibition
There are kings, and then there are Kings. Valentino Clemente Ludovico Garavani, better known simply as Valentino has been called many things. Famous for his Valentino SpA line of designer wear, he is perhaps as equally recognised for his extensive art collection as well as his flamboyant lifestyle. So much so that he was said to be one of the kings of high living.
That aside, through his 50-year career, the notion of trend was never of concern to Valentino Garavani. That didn't equate to old-school. In contrary, the Italian haute couture designer's one-of-a-kind use of volume, line, texture and recurring motifs birthed his own signature series of exotic gowns which have been hailed exquisite and timeless.

Fiesta - a carnivore's sweet dream
[Written by Chris D.]
I just had one of the best mix of food and service experience in the past few months.
When my friend Emma first asked me to join her for dinner at Fiesta, located within Festive Hotel, I wasn't sure what to expect from a restaurant which serves Latin American cuisine. But from the moment we arrived until the moment we walked out, the impeccable service and memorable food blew us away.

Chef of the Century descends upon Resorts World Sentosa
“Exhilarating” and “bliss” are just a couple of choice words to describe Chef Joël Robuchon’s food. The great Chef Robuchon is the world’s most decorated chef with 26 stars in the 2010 Michelin Guide.
And he’s coming to Resorts World Sentosa!
In early 2011, Chef Robuchon will be bringing his three widely successful concepts to Singapore: Joël Robuchon Restaurant, L‟Atelier de Joël Robuchon, The Pastry Shop and Lounge.
It doesn’t just stop there. On top of great food, patrons can also expect a stellar team of chefs, maître d and stewards, all handpicked from his dining establishments to spearhead the three outlets.
Mr. Robuchon said: “Joël Robuchon Restaurant will be a fine dining restaurant with the quality of service of a three Michelin-star dining establishment as it currently exists in Tokyo, Las Vegas and Paris, while L‟Atelier de Joël Robuchon is a different innovative concept. It features a „convivial‟ atmosphere, where I wanted to stage the chefs in a central kitchen in full view of the guest, without any manager. The guest, seated at the counter, can see his product being transformed, everything is transparent, and he can even follow the cooking of his meat on the teppanyaki or on the spit of the rotisserie.”
If you’re not familiar with who Joël Robuchon is, just check out his list of accomplishments.
Chef Robuchon standing outside the location of his restaurant at Resorts World |
- Chef/Owner of 21 restaurants around the world under the Joël Robuchon name; bestowed 26 Michelin-stars between them
- Received The Laurent Perrier 2009 Lifetime Achievement Award at The S.Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurants
- In 2008, Joël Robuchon at MGM Grand was the only recipient to receive three Michelin-stars in the city of Las Vegas.
- Jamin was awarded Best Restaurant in the World by International Herald Tribune (1994)
- Titled ‘Chef of the Century’ by the Gault Millau guide (1990)
- Youngest chef ever to be awarded three-Michelin-stars for Jamin (1984)
- Received the highest honour of Meilleur Ouvrier de France (Outstanding French Craftsman) in cuisine (1976)
- Published several cookbooks and chairing the committee of the current edition of Le Grand Larousse Gastronomique (the authoritative encyclopedia of gastronomy)
- Started his own cooking show, called Bon Appétit, Bien Sûr (2000-2009) and the first ever cooking cable channel called Gourmet TV with producer Guy Job (1996)

Brunch at Starz Restaurant with Chris and Emma
[Written by Chris D.]
Very little things in life is better than a lazy Sunday. Well, perhaps a lazy Sunday with good company and great food. And that's what I did on a wonderful weekend.
So one Sunday (check!), with good company - a friend, Emma (check!) - we headed to try the great Sunday Brunch (check!) at Starz Restaurant!
