Singapore’s leading operator of lifestyle and leisure services, Mount Faber Leisure Group, brings experiential dining to new heights with Fly Me to Japan on the iconic Singapore Cable Car.
After the success of its inaugural Fly Me to Italy sky dining experience last December, the second edition of this ongoing dinner series is created in partnership with Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) to celebrate the 55th anniversary of Singapore-Japan relations with the SJ55 campaign.
A perfect dinner date destination amidst the ongoing two pax dining rule, from 1 July to 30 December 2021, Singapore global locals can embark on a culinary journey to Japan in a four-course dinner menu set in the intimacy of their own private cable car cabin. On the 90-minute odyssey to and fro Mount Faber Peak and Sentosa, priced at $385 per couple, guests savour the authentic flavours of Japan while enjoying the mesmerising panoramic views of the lush rainforest and Harbourfront.
Created by Executive Chef Kenny Yeo of Mount Faber Leisure Group, the menu offers a unique take on Japanese cuisine, focusing on the finest seasonal produce specially sourced from renowned prefectures across Japan like Okinawa, Hokkaido and Shiga. Chef Yeo masterfully curates an intricate menu of intriguing textures, aromas, and flavours to create a memorable and intimate dining experience for guests to enjoy in complete privacy.
The Sky Dining journey begins as guests arrive at Mount Faber Peak, where they are greeted by a friendly hostess and ushered to the pre-dining lounge at Arbora Hilltop Garden & Bistro to enjoy a welcome drink, appetisers and soup. The menu kicks off with the Sake & Yuzu Jelly Shot, a refreshing concoction of sake infused with yuzu juice to energise the palate. This is followed by a delicate appetiser of Hokkaido Sea Scallops, paired with fresh Sea Urchin and topped with a caviar of Sea Grapes.
Adding to the myriad of flavours, a luxurious and fragrant soup is served next, featuring a hearty miso broth of Mozuku Seaweed, Chicken Meatballs, tofu and vegetables. Before guests continue their journey, a refreshing palate cleanser of Lime Sherbet is served. Guests are then given a pair of bells on which they can pen their wishes before hanging them at the Arbora Garden and ringing Poland’s Bells of Happiness. The bells are believed to bring double happiness to all who ring them.
The main event follows next, as guests are escorted to their private cable car cabin, where they enjoy their main course and dessert. The cable car ride will take them through two full rounds as they marvel at the stunning 360° aerial views of the Keppel Harbour. Each cabin will also be decked out with Japanese-themed decals to make the experience even more picture-perfect.
The menu offers diners a choice of two mains – Grilled Japanese Omi Wagyu specially procured from the famed Shiga Prefecture, paired with silky Mashed Purple Sweet Potatoes and braised Daikon, or, for a lighter option, the Pan-grilled Eel with Cabbage and Soba. Completing the experience on a sweet note, end the meal with the Yuzu Panna Cotta served alongside a premium tea of Sakura Leaves.
To keep the spirits high throughout the in-flight meal, a glass of Kizakura Premium Junmai Sake is included. Guests also have the option of complementing their dinner with a Sake Pairing priced at $432 per couple to enjoy additional tipples like the sparkling Sakurago Morioka Sake and Takasago Taisetsu Junmai Ginjo. A full vegetarian menu is also available for advance booking, which includes dishes like Lightly Boiled Baby Spinach with Toasted Sesame Seeds, and Char-grilled King Abalone Mushrooms & Aubergine with a side of Sea Grapes.
The first 200 guests that book the Fly Me to Japan Sky Dining experience will each receive a travel kit on arrival. Members of Mount Faber Leisure Group’s annual membership programme, Faber Licence, will also receive complimentary cable car-themed face masks when they register.
