Centre Stage-Playbook For The Bold

Last night, I was invited to this event by DBS at the Raffles Sentosa. I believe this is a new property at Sentosa.

It was a four hands dinner by Chefs Sam Yorke and Bjoern Alexander together with a fireside chat with their CEO Tan Su Chan and Sir James Dyson and a performance by Kit Chan. A small event for only 45 guests.

Both the chefs are Michelin starred chefs and both got their stars when they were quite young.

The ballroom was done well and clearly DBS had spent quite a bit of money and put in lots of effort for this event.

I found the food good. Just a pity with the main course cos it was pigeon and I didn’t want that.

The fireside chat was interesting though nothing profound. I wasn’t sure they needed this segment but it wasn’t boring.

The chat was followed by a performance by Kit Chan. I have never heard her perform live and so this was an interesting experience. She sang 3 songs, a Teresa Teng classic, Wind Beneath My Wings and finally Home. Nice performance but her age has caught up with her as her voice was a bit thin and her high notes were not perfect.

Overall a good evening although I had to give up my Yo Yo Ma tickets to attend this….
