Tribal Tempo at Gardens by the Bay and Join Friends of the Gardens

Have you been to South Africa? Now we will have the opportunity to explore the beautiful South African floral display right in Singapore at Gardens by the Bay. From now till 30 October 2016, “Tribal Tempo” marks the first large-scale South African floral display in Gardens by the Bay. Explore and discover South Africa’s native flora, from vibrant Gazanias and Gerberas, to the unusual-looking Proteas and Aloe Trees.

The beautiful Flower Dome has been magically transformed into the colourful landscape of South Africa. Join us as we embarked on our exciting safari tour to find out more. 

This magnificent flower is known as the King Protea which is the national flower of South Africa. It has the largest flower head in the Proteaceae family. 

Leucospermum cordifolium also called red pincushion protea is found in South Africa. This flower blooms in stunning shades of orange and red.

Aloe barberae also known as the tree aloe, this is a species of aloe which is native to South Africa northwards to Mozambique. Aloe barberae is a slow-growing tree can reach up to 18 m high and 0.9 m in stem diameter.

Visitors will be enchanted with this South Africa landscape and to know that South Africa is not just about deserts and savannahs. It has rich and colourful plant life and a wide variety of colourful wild flowers. It is interesting to know that the popular daisies commonly found in florist shops are native to Transvaal, South Africa. 

At the centrepiece of the floral display, visitors will see a 3 metre high waterfall and this waterfall is inspired by the waterfall found around the area of the Northern Cape. Besides the beautiful flowers, be enthralled by the exquisite rock art, animal sculptures surrounding the floral displays and a tribal hut. 

Visit Tribal Tempo at Flower Dome at Gardens by the Bay and discover the vibrant displays of South Africa. Visitors can expect to see a total of 10,000 plants across 70 species at the exhibition, take the opportunity to find out more and be immersed in South African culture.

While visiting Gardens by the Bay during the month of September, Friends of the Gardens can enjoy Majestic Bay Seafood Restaurant’s Special Set Menu at S$188nett.

Diners will be delighted to indulge in sumptuous dishes from Majestic Bay and it is a good time to bring your family and or gather your friends to celebrate Mid Autumn Festival at this fine restaurant.

First up on the menu is Majestic Bay Trio Combo which consists of Pickled Baby Cucumber with Grapes, Crispy Silver Fish, Thai Style and Wasabi Black Fungus Salad. 

Slow Cooked Whole Abalone with Homemade Tofu and Broccoli Flower in Truffle Oil 

The abalone is full of flavour which is a perfect compliment to the soft and tender tofu. 

Crispy Catch of the Day, light soya sauce.

The fish is crispy on the outside and the meat remains soft and tender. The sauce is delicious!

Majestic Signature Kopi Crabs

Most Singaporean love crabs and it is definitely one of the favourite seafood. What’s unique about Majestic Signature Kopi Crabs is that the restaurant uses coffee to cook the crabs and this is our first time trying. The crabs will be set on blaze and given a good stir on our table before we can eat. We do like this version as we are coffee lovers and it is interesting to try out this combination. The crabs give off an aromatic coffee flavour much to our delight but it is not overwhelming. The crab meat is very fresh, tender and sweet. 

Pineapple Fried Rice with Scallops and Pork Floss. 

The fried rice is so fragrant chock full of ingredients and with generous topping of pork floss that you can’t stop eating. 

Duo Homemade Dim Sum dessert consists of Steamed Peach Bun with Lotus Seed Paste and Fresh Baked Walnut Cookies, a good way to end a perfect meal for the evening. Thank you to the lovely organisers from Gardens by the Bay and Majestic Bay Seafood Restaurant for the wonderful evening and delicious meal. We also have the opportunity to spend a wonderful time with the lovely families’ bloggers.
