The keystone to Sky on 57, despite its incredible views and impressive ambiance, is the cuisine. From a young age, Chef Justin Quek tickled his palate with his favorite flavors: hot, sour, salty and sweet — the quintessential qualities of the local fare. Quek has meticulously crafted the menus of Sky on 57 around these flavors, reinterpreting them in modern and exciting ways.  The contemporary Asian menu highlights traditional Singaporean favorites, such as Maine Lobster Hokkien Mee, Grilled Kagoshima Wagyu Beef, Wok-fried Asian Black Pepper Lobster and Baked Miso Cod with Ginger and Lime Butter and delivers the dishes with a flair all their own. Quek is known for adding Singapore to a foodie’s must-visit list. This award-winning chef showcases creative and tantalizingly unique dishes that you won’t soon forget. Other menu-must-haves include Justin Quek’s signature Foie Gras Xiao Long Bao, the Lobster “Marco Polo,” complete with a homemade XO sauce, and Asian Dumplings with Goose Liver. Finish your delightful meal with the restaurant’s signature Macaroons, which are made with Pandan and Gula Java.
