Posted

(NAPSA)—Put another shrimp on the barby. That’s something you may expect to hear in Australia, but now visitors to Singaporewill be hearingit. The reason? The Singapore Marriott Hotel has unveiled the new Pool Grill restaurant—a chic and stylish new eatery serving fresh, contemporary cuisine prepared by Chef Harry Callinan, the hotel’s newest import from Hunter Valley in New South Wales, Australia. Chef Harry’s epicurean pas- sion is evident in the enthusias- tic manner in which he talks about his gourmet pursuits and how he magically translates that into wholesome creations in the kitchen. The Pool Grill menusare styled to mirror the look and feel of the pool terrace concept at the Singapore Marriott—thatof a resort oasis in the heart of the city. The menu combines lightness with freshness and guests can look forward to an invigorating gazpacho, a succulent John Dory fillet, or a simple pasta, pizza or sandwich to enjoy amidst the relaxing setting. Must-tries include the Oriental Seafood Salad with palm hearts & lychee, Classic Bouillabaisse, Grilled Swordfish Fillet and the Baked Rock Lobster tail with melted lemon butter. Here’s one of Chef Harry’s recipes: Barbecued Snapper Parcels With Tomato, Red Onion And Basil Butter 1 snapperfillet 1 red onion 1 tomato Juice of 1 lemon 1 bunchfresh basil (or store- boughtpesto will work) 7 Thsp. butter Sea salt G-Day—Chef Harry’s menus are styled to mirror the look and feel of the whole pool terrace. Black pepper Aluminum foil Lay one sheet of aluminum foil on the bench and rub with a little butter, place snapperfillet on top and season with salt and pepper.

Add pats of the flavored butter on top of the fish and vegetables, squeeze on half a lemon. Bring sides of the foil around to makea parcel, leaving space at the top for steam to circulate. Place parcels onto hot part of the BBQ for 5 minutes and then move to the side whereit is cooler and let sit another 5 minutes to cook through.
