A destination dining from the very start, RWS has begun reimagining the future of dining by taking its unique combination of out-of-the-ordinary dining settings and diverse award-winning cuisines to greater depths. This September, guests will discover a brand new underwater dining experience where they can bond, share special moments and enjoy the here and now at RWS.
Guests will dine in the company of over 100,000 aquatic inhabitants such as Reef Manta Rays, Hammerhead Sharks and Giant Groupers, submerged in the dreamy realm of a beautiful underwater terrain. Specially conceptualised by award-winning RWS in-house creators, the imposing vista of the awe-inspiring marine world along with an extraordinary combination of dynamic lighting effects, atmospheric music, delectable cuisine and underwater entertainment enthrall all five senses and completely immerse guests in the mysterious deep blue ocean.
Diners will be pampered with a modern and inventive Asian culinary repertoire prepared with 100% sustainably sourced seafood and local produce. Specially designed by Chef de Cuisine Marvas Huang of Ocean Restaurant and Chef de Cuisine Tony Choo of Forest森, the four-course dinner menu creatively pays homage to the abundance of fascinating treasures in the ocean.
As each course is served, rich theatrics and effects are set in motion to excite and captivate the sense of taste, sight, smell and sound. Among the many surprises are graceful live choreography by professional underwater divers in the Open Ocean Habitat as they swim and glide among the curious marine creatures, which promise to be a sight to behold.
