Off-Track Treats
When Formula 1 arrives in Singapore, the city takes on a life of its own. From trackside action to late-night parties, the calendar fills quickly, leaving little room for a quiet moment. Yet, between sessions at the circuit and evenings spent soaking up the atmosphere, there is always time to discover somewhere worth sitting down for a good meal and drink. During this year’s Singapore Grand Prix weekend, Marina Bay Sands offered just that, with a line-up of dining experiences that made the time away from the track just as enjoyable.
A Taste of Southern Comfort at Yardbird
After a full day at the circuit, our first stop was Yardbird Southern Table & Bar, where Southern comfort food and waterfront views provided a welcome change of pace. Dining al fresco gave us a view of the Singapore skyline, with the fountain show adding to the evening’s atmosphere.
We started with the restaurant’s signature devilled eggs, topped with smoked trout roe, and popcorn shrimp with brown butter and smoked jalapeño aioli. For mains, the lobster mac and cheese was every bit as indulgent as it sounded, while the classic chicken and waffles proved a highlight, served with a cheddar waffle and bourbon-infused maple syrup that struck just the right balance of sweet and savoury. The sweet tea-braised short rib offered another hearty option, while the tangy key lime pie provided a refreshing finish.
The drinks were equally worth exploring, particularly with the South-East Asian debut of Lewis Hamilton’s Almave, the non-alcoholic blue agave spirit, on the menu. The Lewis, a bespoke creation combining Almave Blanco with prickly pear, yuzu and agave, delivered a fruity, refreshing alternative to a traditional tequila cocktail without the alcohol. We also tried the Red Bull Sunset, a race-week creation combining Red Bull, grenadine and orange juice that kept the F1 spirit going well into the evening.
A Late-Night Stop at WAKUDA
Already a favourite of ours, WAKUDA Restaurant & Bar was made even more special during race week with a one-night-only takeover by Bangkok’s Opium Bar, ranked No. 25 on Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2026. Bringing its inventive approach to cocktails to Marina Bay Sands, the collaboration offered a fitting reason to make a late-night stop.
From the takeover menu, we chose the Simona, a refreshing combination of Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin, green apple cordial and soda water. The Zero Edit selection was another highlight. We spotted the Almave Blanco again in the Lormos, a non-alcoholic creation combining the blue agave spirit with a Khao Dot tea milk punch and matcha powder. Having tried The Lewis at Yardbird earlier in the evening, discovering another take on Almave at WAKUDA was a welcome surprise. Who knew mocktails could taste that good.
