Racines, which means “roots” in French, is a restaurant that grows out of two very different but spiritually intertwined cuisines. The elaborate sauces and flavours of French cuisine meat the à la minute robustness of Chinese cooking, with each cuisine getting half of the menu, allowing diners to create a fascinating fusion meal unlike any other. Helmed by famed Executive Chef Jean-Charles Dubois, this restaurant spreads out over four live cooking stations that turn locally-sourced and organically-grown produce into elegant plates, a truly unique hotel buffet experience. There is also an à la carte menu that sprawls the full gamut of these two rich cuisines. In this fashion, you may see a classic pot-roasted French hen, a corn-fed beauty cooked in a pot with French potatoes and vegetables served up with a plate of stir-fried Frog Legs in a fiery Szechuan sauce. Or a beautifully slow-braised Wagyu Cheek served alongside crunchy Sweet & Sour Kurobuta Pork, or scallion-kissed wok-fried Angus Beef Cubes.

Both cuisines unite in their love for seafood. On the French side, there’s a massive platter of premium Fruits de Mer (fruits of the sea), including Alaskan king crab, freshly shucked oysters, and scallop carpaccio on an iced platter. On the Chinese side, the ubiquitous Abalone, except here served sashimi-style with a sea urchin sauce and a sprinkling of lemony breadcrumbs. Dessert is a grab-bag of options: delicate French gateaux flavoured with strawberries, dark chocolate, or praline rub shoulders with Asian flavours like red bean, yuzu, and mango sticky rice. The quality of cooking is truly unmatched, and who knows, you may discover some delicious food pairings for yourself at this culinary wonderland. Come experience one of the island’s most exciting fusion experiences today! (Nov 2017)
