Singapore’s GP suites offer new lineup of Michelin Star chefs

Singapore GP weekend is slated on September 20 to 22.

MARINA Bay Street Circuit’s hot new lifestyle destination, Twenty3, returns for the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2019 bigger, better and bolder with a new lineup of Michelin-starred chefs, trendy food and drink experiences, a whisky and rum speakeasy, the circuit’s only nightclub and unparalleled trackside views. 

Not to be missed is luxe-casual alfresco dining at the Bay Terrace.

“With so many options, race-goers can easily curate their own itinerary over the weekend with an entirely different experience for each day. Guests can sample Portuguese cuisine one day and Kyoto fare another day, satiate their sweet tooth at the dessert bar and unwind with a whisky at the speakeasy, or cheer on their favorite driver from Twenty3’s rooftop and hit the dance floor after at the Apex Lounge — the possibilities are endless!” said Shamini Suppiah, director of corporate sales at Singapore GP Pte Ltd.

Guests at Twenty3 can also look forward to arriving in style via exclusive ferry services that ply between Bayfront North Jetty and Twenty3 — the only lifestyle facility to offer this as part of the ticket — before being welcomed into a lush secret garden oasis.

A world of gastronomical delights await guests as Twenty3 brings together five Michelin stars within a 3,000-square-meter trackside facility, taking discerning diners on a culinary journey.

Chef Massimiliano Mascia of two Michelin-starred San Domenico.

From the home of the legendary Imola racing circuit in northern Italy, chef Massimiliano Mascia of two Michelin-starred San Domenico will showcase a selection of contemporary Italian dishes in his Singapore culinary debut. Founded in 1970, the restaurant’s most celebrated dishes will be served at Twenty3.

Chef Takagi Kazuo of two Michelin-starred Takagi from Ashiya, Japan.

Guests can get better acquainted with the “Japanese Master of True Kyoto Cuisine”— chef Takagi Kazuo of two Michelin-starred Takagi from Ashiya, Japan — as he highlights the refined Kyo-ryori style of cuisine at Twenty3. Centered on time-honored traditions, chef Takagi’s dishes elevate simple Japanese ingredients into exquisitely plated dishes imbued with culture and seasonality.

Chef Tiago Bonito of Portugal’s one Michelin-starred Largo do Paço.

Another chef making his Singapore debut at Twenty3, chef Tiago Bonito of Portugal’s one Michelin-starred Largo do Paço, pays homage to his roots by reinterpreting classic recipes while incorporating an assortment of unique ingredients not traditionally used in Portuguese cuisine.

Aside from a stellar gastronomic lineup, not to be missed is luxe-casual alfresco dining at the Bay Terrace, featuring local favorites as well as a specialty cocktail bar. Be entertained by Taiko drummers, DJ sets, fire dancers, roving performers and electrifying pyrotechnics within the alfresco space throughout the race weekend.

The electrifying party atmosphere continues post-race at the two-story Apex Lounge — the only nightclub within the circuit — where guests can revel in top dance hits from resident DJs. Above the dance floor, a stunning German kinetic light installation will create a kaleidoscope of mesmerizing movement and colors using over 300 light spheres, alongside enthralling performances by aerial artists.

Aptly named after the final corner of the circuit where it is located, Twenty3 boasts superb views of the Formula 1 cars as they race towards the finish line. Guests can opt to enjoy the track action in the comfort of the restaurants or outdoor viewing galleries, or head up to the two rooftop terraces boasting spectacular views of the Singapore skyline, podium celebrations and fireworks. A lush installation on the rooftop designed by Gardens by the Bay exclusively for Twenty3 provides a stunning Instagrammable photo opportunity against the backdrop of the conservatories.

The electrifying party atmosphere continues post-race at the two-story Apex Lounge.
