As part of Harris‘ and my “Hyatt Series”, we recently paid a visit to Oasis, Hyatt Hotel’s poolside restaurant. While this visit was a invited session by Hyatt Hotel, both of us had never planned for it to be that way. When we made a reservation via e-mail, a member of Hyatt’s marketing group read about our prior visit to mezza9 and Pete’s Place and kindly offered to invite us for a tasting session.

If I were to describe the ambience at Oasis, I would say that it would be an excellent hangout with friends or just a romantic night out for 2 (Especially if both of you simply adore bbq seafood and meats.)

Located on the 5th floor of 313@Somerset, Food Republic boasts 1,100 seats with 30,000 sq ft, making it the largest Food Republic atrium along Orchard Road. Featuring 26 food and drink stalls of which 5 are mini restaurants, it aims to gather some of the best hawkers in Singapore under one roof.

To many, mezza9 comes across as a decent restaurant in a five star hotel along Orchard Road, serving average cuisine catering to the upmarket tourist crowd. So, I hopped down to mezza9 to either dispel or confirm the myth.
