Spring Breaks, Sojourns & Holidays

 

At W Singapore – Sentosa Cove, guests can have their booze, and eat it too. SKIRT Sous-Chef Eddie Gan is ready to fire up the grill house's signature parilla grill for a unique whiskey-infused dining experience with a select menu of bourbon-centric recipes from 1 April to 31 May 2022.

Guests are invited to revel in the robust flavors of caramel and smoky vanilla notes from Chef's 1kg Aged Black Angus Tomahawk (SGD240++), a delicious masterpiece 21 days dry aged and infused with Michter's US*1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon. Every bite succulently tender, and perfumed with subtle undertones of bourbon that deliver nicely balanced flavours of charry oak.

Wrapped in a bourbon-soaked cloth and aged for 21 days in the dry-aging chambers with slabs of pink Himalayan salt bricks, the tomahawk steak is prepared and flame-kissed to perfection on the centerpiece parrilla grill.

For guests with a sweet tooth, Executive Pastry Chef Edwin Leow brings to the table a delightful treat with the Baked Alaska (SGD24++) dessert, using a Michter's US*1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon-infused vanilla gelato and Italian meringue, and served tableside for a fiery visual indulgence.

Museum of Tropical Queensland presents the Museum of Underwater Art's Ocean Sentinels above the surface exhibit provides a unique opportunity for locals and visitors to connect with the artworks and experience their grandeur before they begin to transform into their own micro reefs when placed on the Great Barrier Reef. MOUA Board Director, Paul Victory, said the exhibit is about connecting with as many people as possible, to spark meaningful conversation around the Great Barrier Reef and its future. The global pandemic meant artist Jason deCaires Taylor was unable to create the pieces on Australian soil, instead creating them in his studio in the United Kingdom. The artworks were carefully loaded and shipped to Townsville where a selection of them have been installed in the Museum of Tropical Queensland where they will be on display to the public, starting from 12 March to 15 May. For more details on the MOUA project visit moua.com.au.

The Michinoku Coastal Trail is one of the Japanese Ministry of Environment's series of initiatives aimed at community-led, sustainable reconstruction following the tsunami of March 11, 2011. Stretching more than 1,000 km from Fukushima Prefecture to Aomori Prefecture, the wildly scenic Michinoku trail runs like a thread along the rias coast, stitching together communities and taking adventurers on an extraordinary trek they won't soon forget. Hike along sections of the trail in Iwate and Aomori prefectures, passing through small villages and fishing harbors, where you'll encounter long stretches of easy terrain, followed by challenging climbs and tricky descents. Traverse white sand beaches and stand on rocky outcrops overlooking the churning waters below. From Tanohata to Kitayamazaki, use ladders to descend to the shore, walk across the rocks, and emerge from a dark tunnel connecting you to the next cove, where the path may be determined by the tide. On the Tanesashi Coast, cross the sprawling Tanesashi Natural Lawn, progressing through pine groves and past rock formations, before walking the long expanse of Shirahama Beach and the Osuka Coast, a 2.3-km stretch of singing sand.
