Singaporeans love their food. Whether it’s a bowl of steaming laksa or a nostalgic bite of ondeh ondeh, nothing tugs at the heartstrings quite like local flavours. That’s what ‘An Ode to Singapore’ is trying to capture.
Now imagine enjoying these very dishes, not at a bustling hawker centre, but 165 metres above the Marina Bay skyline, as the city unfurls in a glittering panorama beneath you.
Welcome to ‘An Ode to Singapore’, the latest gastronomic experience from 165 Sky Dining by Singapore Flyer. Launched to mark Singapore’s 60th year of independence, this sky-high celebration takes diners on a revolving 90-minute journey through the flavours that define our island city.
The View May Be Familiar, But the Flavours Are Far From It
Curated by Chef Wyvin Yap, the five-course menu is a love letter to Singaporean heritage. Take the opening act: a Deconstructed Laksa Boston Lobster. This isn’t your kopitiam bowl of noodles. Here, laksa leaf ash, fresh coconut cream, grilled pineapple, sago pearls, and chilli olive oil converge in an East-meets-West ensemble that’s as dramatic as the view outside your capsule.
And the surprises don’t end there. A chilled Sambal Salad brings a refreshing twist with Japanese bean curd, while a comforting chicken-based Bak Kut Teh gets a European nod through seafood tortellini.
Choices at 165 Metres: Pandan or Prawns?
For the main course, guests face a tantalising dilemma. Do you go for the Pandan Chilean Seabass, nestled in pandan leaves and drizzled with kecap manis for a fragrant, caramel-like finish? Or indulge in the Wagyu Sirloin Steak, laced with har cheong butter?
Then comes dessert, a gentle landing in the form of Ondeh Ondeh Cake, delicately plated and served with petit fours by none other than Singapore’s own Janice Wong. The evening wraps up with a complimentary glass of Singapore Sling (or champagne, if you’re dining on peak nights), alongside a limited-edition Singapore Flyer souvenir.
Dining with a Difference
At $520 nett per couple for the standard shared capsule, it’s a full-blown experience. Guests are greeted with priority boarding from the VIP Lounge, welcome drinks, and a dedicated host to guide them through the skies.
Prefer privacy? The Private Couples’ Celebration Capsule turns the romance up several notches with a bottle of champagne and a lavish bouquet of 99 roses. Meanwhile, families and corporate groups can book their own capsule for up to 10 guests, complete with wine and mementos for all.
And just in time for the festivities, there’s a special SG60 promotion: use code ‘60SKYDINING’ at singaporeflyer.com for $60 off shared capsule bookings from now until 30 September 2025.
“An Ode to Singapore”
“We are delighted to launch ‘An Ode to Singapore’ at 165 Sky Dining as the first of many exciting SG60 initiatives,” said Ringo Leung, General Manager at Singapore Flyer. “Chef Wyvin Yap’s creative interpretation of international cuisine with local accents offers a unique dining experience designed to appeal to both local and international palates.”
So whether you’re marking a special occasion, planning an unforgettable proposal, or simply want to see sambal salad in haute couture, 165 Sky Dining’s latest menu offers a dining experience that’s quite literally a cut above.
