Sunrise Bistro Bar

The trendy redeveloped area that used to be Singapore’s Big Splash waterpark in Marine Parade seems like a logical location for enterprises trying to do something new with something old. At Sunrise Bistro Bar on East Coast Parkway, the old part is classic French cuisine, the new being chef Vincent Teng’s desire to strip away the stuffiness and intimidating atmosphere of many fine-dining French eateries. Instead, he calls on his two-plus decades of training in leading French restaurants to provide top quality cuisine in a more affordable, more accessible manner – as well as well as throwing frequent dashes of Asian inspiration into the dishes. Sous-vide cooking is a particular specialty, so try Teng’s sous-vide eggs benedict for the softest poached egg you’re likely ever to taste, or indulge in something new with the sous vide pear dessert, slow-poached with red wine and aromatic spices that challenges even the stalwart French classics on the menu.
