Shutters at Amara Santuary Resort, Sentosa, serves fusion food, in a modern resort setting, much like everything else in the resort. This was where we had all our 3-course lunches during the 3-day management retreat. Servings came in tiny portions that left our stomachs yearning for more food after each meal. Main course was either fish or chicken, for every meal. I had fish, fish and chicken in that order.
On the first day, appetizer consisted of one (yes, one) pan-seared scallop served with chinese-style garlic and onion sauce, one oyster tempura, and preserved papaya, served on a rectangular porcelain tile.
Put simply, it was simple food decorated elaborately. Can't fool a gourmet like me, though. I was hardly impressed. I had cod fish for my main course. Apart from its freshness, there was nothing special about the chinese-style fermented bean sauce that came with it. Lunch on the second day was equally dismal. The snapper tasted healthy, but the creamy mushroom sauce was such a mismatch.
Appetizer was miserably simple, with just one prawn in tartar sauce served in a small piece of lettuce, accompanied by a sweet serving of cooked raspberry. Chocolate mouse cake as dessert was far too easy. Nothing to shout about.
