Award-winning Chinese restaurant Mott32 has set up shop in Singapore, replacing what used to be Osteria Mozza at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands. The interiors, designed by Joyce Wang Studios, exude a brooding atmosphere with its deep, earthy tones of terracotta and greys, accentuated by verdant plants and pale mint upholstery. The brightly lit bar is equally enticing, bolstered further by a stellar cocktail programme. Start the night with the signature cocktails ($24) Hanami or Hong Kong Iced Tea, a refreshing tipple of Blanco Avion tequila, Lillet Blanc, blackcurrant and jasmine tea. For food, similarly opt for Mott32 signatures such as the Apple Wood Roasted Peking Duck ($108); only female ducks that are fed a proprietary feed blend are used, marinated and smoked over 48 hours. Another standout is the Barbecue Pluma Iberico Pork ($48). The char siew boasts a phenomenal fat-to-lean ratio, and is finished with a sticky glaze made from Yellow Mountain honey.
