From September 1 to 30, 2023, the dining tables at <strong>ANTI:DOTE @ Fairmont Singapore<\/strong> are transformed into art studios, the plates into canvases, and the gastronomic offerings into vividly painted masterpieces.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>A Symphony of Sensory Artistry<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Delicately crafted by the team led by <strong>Executive Pastry Chef Yong Ming Choong<\/strong> and <strong>Senior Sous Chef Jacky Lai<\/strong>, the afternoon tea boasts a menu steeped in Monet&#8217;s artistic brilliance. Every bite is a delicious journey through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wtravelmagazine.com\/dining-amongst-work-of-art-in-the-french-riviera\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">French Impressionist painter\u2019s most cherished works<\/a>, a testament to the power of enchanting fusion between culinary art and Monet&#8217;s masterpieces.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Art-Inspired Menu: A Glimpse into the Grandeur<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The crescendo of this unique experience? Undoubtedly, the art-inspired menu. It commences with three artisanal cocktails. <em>Unstoppable Bloom<\/em> is an ode to the earth with yam shochu, elderflower, and a hint of smoky honey miso. For those seeking a spirited thrill, <em>The Farandole<\/em> captivates with its lotus root, honey beer, and shiso gin concoction. Lastly, the non-alcoholic <em>Dancing Lily<\/em> promises a delightful dance of flavours sans the spirits.<\/p>\n<p>The menu proceeds with an illustrious collection of sandwiches. Monet&#8217;s &#8216;<em>Le Grand Canal<\/em>&#8216; breathes through the exquisite Boston lobster and avruga caviar on saffron brioche, while the vibrant hues of &#8216;<em>Field of Poppies Near Giverny<\/em>&#8216; are mirrored in the rich tomato concasse with kalamata olive. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wtravelmagazine.com\/culinary-journeys-playing-with-perfection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">culinary journey<\/a> further beckons with the luscious smoked trout reflecting the serenity of &#8216;<em>Meadow with Haystacks near Giverny<\/em>&#8216;, and the earthy tones of sous vide chicken paired with forest mushrooms and truffle, reminiscent of &#8216;<em>Woodgatherers at the Edge of the Forest<\/em>&#8216;.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CwRXtPnyLGo\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CwRXtPnyLGo\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by ANTI:DOTE (@antidotebar.sg)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\nThe sweet finale is nothing short of a poetic ensemble. From the decadent creaminess of ivory chocolate coupled with tropical coulis to the tangy delights of Granny Smith confit evoking Monet\u2019s garden landscapes, every dessert is a stroke of inspiration. Not to forget, the pistachio mascarpone cream, raspberry cream cheese macaron, and the signature Monet hazelnut cocoa bonbon, each promising an affair to remember.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>A Continuum of Artistic Grandeur<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Claude Monet-inspired afternoon tea is not the inaugural artistic venture for ANTI:DOTE. It&#8217;s a continuation of the revered &#8216;Season of Impressionists&#8217; series, with previous grand installations such as the Vincent van Gogh afternoon tea and the ethereal Hokusai high tea.<\/p>\n<p>In partnership with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fairmont-singapore.com\/offer\/season-of-impressionists-a-claude-monet-inspired-afternoon-tea-at-antidote\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ART:STORY<\/a> and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, ANTI:DOTE\u2019s latest offering is a testament to the everlasting marriage of fine art and gourmet cuisine. As the third installation, it reinforces the commitment to offering guests not just a meal, but an experience \u2013 a journey through time, art, and flavours.<\/p>\n<p>In a world where dining experiences are aplenty, few manage to blur the lines between the plate and canvas so seamlessly. This September, as the leaves turn and fall, it&#8217;s the impressions of Monet that promise to linger. \u25fc<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wtravelmagazine.com\/subscribe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Subscribe to the latest edition now by clicking here.<\/em><\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<!-- Error, Advert is not available at this time due to schedule\/geolocation restrictions! --><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong><em>\u00a9 This article was first published online in Aug 2023 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wtravelmagazine.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">World Travel Magazine<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As autumn approaches, a mesmerizing blend of art and gastronomy unfolds at ART:STORY, evoking the essence of Claude Monet&#8217;s luminous palette.
