This family-friendly restaurant perched on Faber Peak offers a view that not many restaurants can match. Here you have expansive views of Sentosa and beyond, offering greeny and panoramic sea views that would surely delight both young and old in the family. At 100m above sea levels, kids would enjoy spotting cable cars, vessels at harbourfront and play guess what is the Sentosa Landmark.
The Food
To top off a wonderful family experience, Arbora Hilltop Garden and Bristo have refreshed the family-friendly menu selection that will be available from Oct 7. There is now a wider variety that melts Asian And Western influence with ingredients to reflect the lush surroundings of Arbora.
Here's what you can look forward to for a treat at Arbora
Salads and Sides
Caesar Salad (In a Jar) $15++ (NEW)
To kick off our dining experience, we had the Caeser Salad in a Jar. It is filled with Chicken, bacon bits, quail eggs and croutons, served with romaine lettuce with salad dressing on the side.
This is deemed as an interactive dish. Great for kids to get involved in the meal by dressing the salad and tossing the ingredients in the jar. It was a good start to get the little ones off the mobile devices and straight into enjoying the food.
The self toss must have made the salad more appetising as the family devoured the dish in minutes.
Arbora Rojak $16++ (NEW)
 |
This is a twist that draws inspiration from the numerous mango and papaya trees that dot Mount Faber. Instead of 'Youtiao' and shredded vegetables, you have green mango and papaya with bean sprouts, tofu puffs and cumbers topped with fried ebi prawns. An inspiring case of East meets West.
Mains
Pineapple-Glazed Pork Ribs $28++ (New)

This pork rib is marinated with pineapple puree and tomato sauce for 4 hours to allow the fruits naturally acidic properties to tenderise the meat. The steam-baked ribs lean more towards Asian tastebuds and not your usual ribs you would get in a western restaurant.

The Sweet Potato fries adds another twist and adds more sweetness to the dish.
Other main dishes you can try include Crispy Pork Belly Don,Beef Striploin Steak, Barramundi, Fish and Chips, Mexican Ribs, Rack of Lambs, Herb Roasted Half Chicken, US Angus Ribeye Steak and more.

The signature dessert that got the boys oozing with delight.
'Sorry, this one cannot share' was the response when the parents requested for a bite. The warm and cold combination made this dish an irresistible treat for them.
