LOCATION: KURIYA PENTHOUSE, ORCHARD CENTRAL

The Peak and R.E & S Enterprises hosted an exclusive social dinner for 50 guests, comprising Ambassadors, High Commissioners and top executives from the corporate sector.

The event was held at Kuriya Penthouse, located amid the rooftop gardens of Orchard Central, one of the newest shopping and lifestyle destinations downtown. Guests were treated to panoramic views of the cityscape through the restaurant’s floor-to-ceiling glass windows as they wined and dined in elegant surrounds. Bringing the evening to even greater heights was the authentic Japanese fare prepared by master chef and general manager, Yoshi Hiko Koezuka. The menu was augmented by its use of only the freshest specialty ingredients fl own in directly from Japan.

Items such as snow crab and Wagyu beef were skilfully incorporated into a repertoire of dishes that showcased the best of what diners have come to expect of Kuriya, and cemented the restaurant brand’s many years of success on the local gastronomic scene.

In order to facilitate the optimal enjoyment of chef Yoshi Hiko Koezuka’s culinary prowess, the programme for the evening was kept simple. Conversation and mingling were emphasised, as was — of course — the food.
