San Marco At the Lighthouse - For a cool name like that, you got to have some high expectations about the restaurant. Well, I've been disappointed before, so I went in without expecting much beyond a good meal. The restaurant was located on the 8th floor of the Fullerton Hotel, which was once the Singapore General Post Office in a bygone era. Perched on top of the building is a small tower room large enough or 6 small tables and 2 private rooms large enough to seat a total of 14. It's a very cosy little restaurant tucked away in a hidden corner of Singapore, and makes for a great romantic dinner for two.
The fresh bread was excellent, and since I was a sucker for freshly baked bread, I started filling up on them very quickly. First up was the caramelized walnut broth - warm, earthy walnut flavors infused into a rich, creamy flavorful broth. Why I've never tried anything like this I don't know. This dish was an instant hit for me, I loved how the nutty flavors complemented the creamy texture of the broth so well. We decided to give the dinner special a try - roasted piglet loin for two. Again, this was an excellent dish, the meat was cooked to perfection, crispy around the skin, and juicy and tender on the inside, and the fact that it was made with Kurobota pork made it even more special. The chef has specially prepared a small chocolate birthday cake that ensured the meal ended on a very sweet, uplifting mood. It's a shame I discovered San Marco only a week before this closed the restaurant, otherwise, I'd definitely will be back again. And the view from the restaurant's roof top ain't so bad either.
