We chanced upon a new restaurant in downtown Coleman Street, which replaces the former Madison Rooms private members’ club in the iconic Freemasons House. Simpy called The Masons Table, it serves corporate lunches, Western French and Italian influenced cuisine paired with artisan wines. We started off with a Soave white wine ($15 by the glass, $85 by the bottle). We were recommended 3 starters to get it going. Half a dozen of Escargots ($14). The texture was firm and crunchy and was fantastic value for money. The smoked salmom ($18) was brilliantly executed, we must say. Ditto for the pan seared Foie Gras ($24). It was crispy on the outside and moist and melted on the inside. Paired really well with the Bruno Paillard Premier Cuvee Grower Champagne. The Duck Confit was pretty crispy and tasty but just a tad too salty. The baby snapper was just a little overcooked but the Chef still managed to retain the flavours and moisture in the snapper. We had the last main of the evening – Australian Sirloin with fries. To round off the evening, we had the cheese board before the desserts. Rosette Media’s Verdict: The starters and desserts were much better than the main courses. We are confident that the main dishes will be uplifted as they mature into operations.

A BIG STAR IN CANNES The new maxi flybridge yacht made its international début at the 2017 Cannes Yachting Festival. The biggest, most state-of-the-art flybridge yacht, which has already got people talking about its innovative design and extreme operational flexibility, could not have chosen any stage but this, the top showcase of the international nautical industry, for its worldwide début. That is why, from 12 to 17 September, the 40th Cannes Yachting Festival will be hosting a première that is among the most highly anticipated by boat owners and enthusiasts alike, that of the majestic and alluring Ferretti Yachts 920. Fruit of the collaboration between the Ferretti Group’s Project Strategy Committee and its Engineering Department, working alongside the Studio Zuccon International Project, this gigantic new Ferretti Yachts – 28.49 m LOA – has ahull measuring 23.98 metres, which means it can be registered as a recreational craft. The Ferretti Yachts 920 has a dynamic, irrepressible profile, thanks to the same stylistic design features that have completely modernised the models launched in recent years and ensured their international success. The first major new featureinvolves raising the height of the bow. As well as giving the yacht an imposing presence on the water, this has allowed the addition of a wide-body master suite on the main deck. The detailing on the gunwale, which also helps to emphasise the yacht’s ‘aggressive’ character, continues beyond the bulwark walkways, ‘cutting’ into the design of the windows in the master cabin. EXTERIOR The exterior spaces offer an impressive amount of space for relaxation as well as luxurious furnishings, both built-in and free-standing, the latter by the famous Italian company Roda,specialised in outdoor furniture. The space located forward, in particular, is the largest ever on a Ferretti Yachts vessel of this size. The sun pad on the bridge house leads into a dinette fitted with two forward-facing sofas – divided by a passageway – and a pair of sofas with adjustable backrests along the bulwark. This creates a large lounge, complete with coffee tables, which can be protected and shaded by sun canopies upon request. The cockpit features a multipurpose sofa, which can be used as a sun pad or as a seat for the outdoor dining table. The stern area features a Submersible Hatch, the famous system used to move the garage door and swimming platform, offering guests all the comfort of a spacious beach club and allowing the crew to handle a tender measuring up to 4 m in length with ease. The flybridge is a panoramic deck designed for relaxation, especially amidships and in the stern. It is covered by a special blacked-out window situated over the dining area and outdoor helm station. The bar unit beneath, which can be configured to suit the specific needs of each owner, features a Florim top in travertine. INTERIOR The interiors rival the stunning versions in higher category models. The lounge, with its anthracite-grey parquet flooring, is panelled almost entirely in exquisite walnut wood with chocolate tones, alternating with enamelled accents in different colours. The built-in furniture, upholstered in stone-grey leather, serves to complement the lounge’s furnishings as a whole, all of which are by Minotti, from the fabric-upholstered Powell sofa and coordinated Creed armchair in nubuck leather, to the Duchamp and Calder coffee tables, whose finishings in Bronze and Calacatta Gold blend elegantly with the rest of the room’s appointments. In the dining area you will find a table in smoked grey glass with an enamelled base, along with 8 Velis lounge armchairs, in nubuck leather, by Potocco, just another one of the wide range of optional features that Ferretti Yachts has to offer. A back-lighting system, provided along with the same ceiling panel lacquered in optical white that can be found in all of the craft’s main spaces, serves to complete the luxurious contemporary style of the lounge. Below deck we find the same chocolate-tone walnut wood and enamelled accents, alternating with fine leather and customisable upholstery. In the wide body master stateroom, the bed is supported by a recessed base that makes it appear as though it is “floating”, while above it a large mirror emphasises the cabin’s generous size. Meanwhile, the expansive windows, covered by gathered curtains, provide a stunning view of the panorama outside. The furnishings include a vanity table and a walk-in closet. The full-beam bathroom is located at the foredeck, on a slightly lower level. Parquet flooring, Antolini marble, mosaics, and brass accenting characterise this space, which is divided into three separate sections: one for the toilet, one for the shower, and another where the sinks are located, above which hangs an OmniDecor DecorFlou Bronze mirror. The central area of the deck is designed to control the circulation flows on board. There is a lobby to the starboard side with a companionway leading down to the lower deck, a large storage area and a day toilet. On the port side is a large galley, all by Ernestomeda, from which you can go up to the helm station or out onto the exterior walkway. Continuing forward, there is the first technical and system monitoring area, beyond which is the companionway leading down to the crew quarters. Two layouts are available for the main area of the lower deck: the first unit includes 3 large en-suite cabins. This exclusive layout allows the Ferretti Yachts 920 to offer guests a full-beam double suite amidships, worthy of being called a mastercabin, and a second VIP suite on the port side with the exact same set-up. A comfortable third cabin with single beds completes the sleeping area. The furnishings in these cabins and in their bathrooms feature the same interplay of materials and colours as on the main deck, but with specific customised variations. The 4-cabin layout is organised into two en-suite double cabins on the port side and two doubles with single beds on the starboard side. Great attention is paid to the crew: in addition to a dinette with laundry area, the captain can enjoy a private en-suite cabin, while the crew can relax in two double cabins with a shared bathroom fitted with a separate shower. A second layout is also available for this area, with a captain’s cabin at the foredeck. The pilot house is an exclusively technical area with a ‘futuristic’ design. The captain can run the entire yacht from here, thanks to a large control station equipped with a next-gen steering system and multiple touchscreen displays that fully integrate all of the on-board monitoring systems and navigation instruments. ENGINE The Ferretti Yachts 920 is available with three different types of MTU engine. The first unit comes fitted with two 16V, 2000 M96 engines, generating 2435 MHP, allowing the yacht to reach a cruising speed of 26 knots and a maximum speed of 30 knots. (preliminary data). The Ferretti Yachts 920 also includes zero-speed fins and Seakeeper stabilisers. Head over to the Singapore Yacht Show from 11 – 14 April 2019 to check her out!

A streamlined yacht that seems sculpted in wind, with ample space for life in the open air, to keep the connection with the sea alive. Built with Carbon Tech, the yacht has been created for an owner who likes to stand out from the crowd and finds their clearly defined and determined lifestyle reflected in this boat. The interior design by Achille Salvagni presents an unprecedented mix of the elegant and the casual, while the sleek exterior lines are by Stefano Righini. Azimut Grande 25Metri made its world debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival (September 2018). Midway between charm and technology, the Grande 25 Metri has a Carbon Tech superstructure, roll-bar, hard top and transom. The large volumes of an important yacht, with a garage for the tender and a totally separate crew circuit to offer the owner maximum privacy, don’t affect the boat’s contours, which seem light, sleek and almost sensual. Another surprising aspect is the interior design, which gives an original twist to the living area: the typical separation of sofa and dining areas makes way for one big refined setting, decorated with great care and personality. So, when no one is dining inside, there’s much more space to enjoy in two comfy living areas. If needed, the table in front of the sofa can be raised to become a spacious dining table for eight. And for those who prefer their spaces laid out in a more traditional way, a version based on the classical approach is also available. Achille Salvagni also accents the desire for informality by introducing lacquered surfaces in colours ranging from purple to sugar paper, skilfully weighed to establish new tenets of class and refinement, in a continuously developing style that never opts for the obvious. The galley and helm station can be separated from the other settings by sliding doors and switchable frosted glass panels, allowing the crew to get on with their business without interfering with the lives of the owner and guests. The four cabins are in the Lower Deck and three of them have double beds, while the crew has a cabin for the captain, a second cabin with bunk beds, and a crew mess that can be accessed from a stairway aft of the superstructure. The engine room can host a pair of 1,650 hp Man engines or, optionally, two 1,800 hp Man engines, driving the yacht to a top speed of 29 knots and a cruising speed of 26 knots. * Design data UNI ISO 8666 The levels of performance described apply to a standard craft (with standard equipment installed) with clean hull, propeller and rudders. Moreover, it is specified that such levels of performance were achieved under favourable sea and wind conditions (1 on the Beaufort scale and 1 on the Douglas scale); in the case of diverse or less favourable sea conditions performance levels may vary considerably. EC Approved. Owing to constant technological developments, Azimut-Benetti S.p.A. reserves the right to modify the technical specifications of its boats at any time and without prior notice.

A second rooftop viewing gallery, extended indoor areas, exciting performances and a hidden bar. Those were some of the refreshing enhancements made to Twenty3 for the 2019 Formula One Singapore Grand Prix. Spectacular Views Ferrari Challenge Asia Pacific Porsche Carrera Cup Asia Formula One Singapore Grand Prix The Formula One race this year was without a doubt more thrilling than 2018. We were thankful to have made the right choice of planting ourselves in Twenty3, where we could bask in luxury and comfort, while enjoying the action on the track. We also realised that those picturesque spots mentioned in our article last year were quickly filled up the during the races. Epicurean Heaven Largo do Paco: Chef Tiago Bonito (Portugal) Pickled Cod, Smoked Peppers & Fermented Garlic “Lagareiro” Grilled Octopus, Salt Potatoes & Roasted Peppers Veal with Smoked Celery, Madeira Wine & Truffle Lobster Rice “Malandrinho de Lavagante”, Shrimp, Old Brandy & Coriander Foie-gras with Drunken Pear, Port Wine & Pistachio Chef Tiago Bonito of Portugal’s one Michelin-starred Largo do Paço made his debut in Singapore. Some of those delectable dishes can be seen in the pictures above. Our favourite happens to be the Foie-gras with Drunken Pear. San Domenico: Chef Massimiliano Mascia (Italy) Roasted Lobster with Green Pea Cream Chef Massimiliano Mascia brings to Singapore a combination of knowledge passed down through generations of Italian chefs in his family, and the techniques learned from his experiences cooking around the world. Known for the use of seasonal produce and progressive technique, the dishes were absolutely delicious. Podium Izakaya: Chef Takagi Kazuo (Japan) Chef Takagi entered the culinary world at the age of 23. Although he started later than most Japanese chefs, Chef Takagi prevailed with talent, dedication and great passion. His restaurant Takagi in Japan has received two Michelin stars since 2010. The moment we tasted the food, we knew that those stars are well deserved. The dishes are simple yet insanely appetising. Kakiage Tempura & Sumac Spiced Edamame White Asparagus Yakitori, Baby Clam Miso Soup & Chicken Mid-Wings Yakitori Roku Ichigo Smash Street Food / Cafe / Desserts For those overseas guests who were visiting Singapore for the first time, the street food featured in Twenty3 is a perfect representation of what they can expect from our best hawkers. There was a plethora of local dishes; Laksa, Mee Siam, Carrot Cake, Oyster Omelette, Barbecue Chicken Wings, Satay and Grilled Seafood. Kudos to the Singapore Grand Prix team for also bringing in Burger & Lobster! Tasty concoctions of drinks were handcrafted by Taverns Tea and Supply Haus. We particularly enjoyed the Pandan Chiffon Artisan Iced Tea. The Chimney Devil by Prague’s Good Food Coffee & Bakery was a tasty treat to bring around as we watched the cars speed past. In the Apex Lounge, we were also able to indulge in award-winning desserts by Australian pâtissier, Philip Khoury from Harrod’s Knightsbridge, London and pastry chefs Eddie Stewart and Min Chai of N2 Brunch Club. Speakeasy Twenty3 tucked away a spacious hidden bar somewhere near its entrance. This was a nice addition to the venue which was already AWESOME! The cosy watering hole, helmed by La Maison du Whisky, had a selection of 23 Scotch whiskies for us to choose from. Apex Lounge The party went on even after the races ended. The two-storey nightclub kept the party going with electrifying DJ sets, aerial performances. There were also F1 Driving Simulators for those who couldn’t get enough track-action. The Verdict For the 2nd year in a row, this is our preferred hospitality suite. Twenty3 has shown to be a superb all-rounder with spectacular views of the races, gourmet food, exhilarating performances, and most importantly, excellent service. We highly recommend the place for those who appreciate the finer things in life. The only thing we disliked, was having to leave. We look forward to 2020 and continue to have high expectations for the Singapore Night Race!
