Market Bistro + Elixir Coffee Stand

Market Bistro, located in the heart of Marina Bay, is a Wall Street-inspired eatery redefining quick yet satisfying meals for the fast-paced financial crowd.

For sharing, we had the Prawn Al Ajillo. These juicy prawns were served with smoked paprika, creamy hummus, and aromatic garlic oil, making it rich and flavourful.

Prawn Al Ajillo - $16

The Umami Mid-joint Wings were perfect for sharing, infused with fish sauce, lime, and parsley. Loved how they were halved for easy, satisfying bites

The Burrata was fresh and creamy, paired beautifully with marinated tomatoes, balsamic caviar, and a touch of mint for a refreshing balance.

Burrata - $20

The Berry Kale Salad was refreshing and appetizing, featuring a wholesome mix of kale, power seeds, walnuts, blueberries, and strawberries.

Berry Kale Salad - $18

To pair with our meal, we had iced tea and a zesty yuzu drink. Both are refreshing complements to the flavorful dishes.

Beverages

For pasta, we had the Crab & Seafood Bisque, rigatoni cooked to al dente perfection, soaked in creamy seafood bisque with chunks of fresh crab claw meat.

Crab & Seafood Bisque - $28

The 36° South grass-fed ribeye came beautifully plated with chimichurri, shoestring fries, and a fresh salad. Cooked to our requested medium, the steak was uniformly tender with a glossy brown sear, each bite rich, juicy, and full of flavor.

36° South Grass Fed Ribeye - $36

Medium Doneness

The Irish Duck Leg Confit caught our eye on the menu and we were glad we did not skip it! Served with creamy mashed potato, earthy mushrooms, and rich chicken jus, every bite was absolutely delicious.

Irish Duck Leg Confit - $28

Opted for the Nipponham Angus Flat Iron this time, tenderer than the ribeye, yet just as flavorful. Served with chimichurri, shoestring fries, and a fresh salad, it hit all the right notes.

Hard to say goodbye to this Tiramisu! Appearance might be a little collapsed, but don’t mind, made with BlackList Coffee Roasters espresso, not 3-in-1, it’s perfectly balanced and utterly delicious. Totally love it!

Tiramisu - $14

I don’t mind dining at Market Bistro, especially after office hours, the place gives off such a relaxing vibe compared to the usual hustle and bustle.

Let's embark on a gastronomic journey without physically flying over to the Land of Thousand Smiles, together with their resident Thai Chefs.

The Great Thai Feast

Chef pop's family used to ran a food business and he is trying to work hard in order to reopen his family business and bring back the legacy. Don't miss out his Pad Thai Lobster and the Northeast part of Thailand's Sausage dish.

Chef Por's incorporate the widely known dish in Chiang Mai, Khao Soi, with a personal touch with addition of lobster and her mother's secret Khao Soi paste.

Chef JoJo showcases his favourite food, Phuket Moo Hong, a Southern-style pork belly stew cooked using the sous vide method, on low heat over 12 hours so the meat is soft, tender and full of exploding flavors.

Resident Thai Chefs

Reservations were made and we got ourselves a table with a great view from level 32.

While our table is situated near the desserts counter, we took a look before making our rounds at the Thai Action Station. There are assorted Kuehs, cut fruits, Thai Desserts too.,

While passing by this small portion of Mango Sticky Rice, I'm quite tempted to consume them before my buffet dinner but luckily I still manage to resist and had it after my dinner.

From The Carving Station

The heavy whiff of aroma from the wok had gained my senses and drew me closer. I looked and was excited about what was cooking in the wok.

Chef at Work

I'm in love with their Lobster Phad Thai for its authenticity. The "Wok Hei" taste from the noodles was notable with raw beansprouts, sugar, chilli powder flakes as toppings. A stalk of green leek accompanied the dish with the lobster had gave the plate of noodles a good color presentation.

Lobster Pad Thai

Take a look at the red-shell crustacean.

Head over to this counter for their Shrimp Paste Fried Rice with Condiments

Here's Chef Pop's signature Isan Sausage (Homemade Thai Pork Sausage), do have a try.

Moving over to Chef Jojo's counter...

Chef Jojo's Moo Hoong

The Thai Pork Stew aka "Moo Hoong" was a speciality by Chef Jojo. It was perfectly stewed in its flavours with a good hint of Cinamon, star anise clove etc. It does have a good ratio of fatty and lean meat.

Heading to the Tom Yum Goong counter, we had this spicy & Sour Broth with the River Prawn, Tomato, Galangal, Straw Mushroom, Kaffir Leaves as well as Shallot.

While we tried to be healthy in all buffet dinners, we had some vegetables on top of those vegetables from the salad bar.

The Stirred Fried Crab in Yellow Curry was aromatic and yummy.
