Thanks to omy.sg and Sentosa, XY and I attended the media preview of the Sentosa BBQ by the Beach! Yes, a barbeque right on our very own Siloso Beach – that beach where we all used to go for class gatherings, playing beach volleyball and lazing around. It was a great night!

The weather was great that day, so when we first arrived at Siloso, XY and I started looking for a good location t/ view the sunset. And it was AWESOME.
Imagine starting a romantic dinner with this be!utiful sunset, feels pretty good huh? 
I didn’t bring out my usual Lumix camera that day, so we were shooting using my new Samsung (a birthday gift from the bestie, which I will blog on in another entry).
We looked awesome, thanks to the lovely sunlight and the camera. Kudos to Korean cameras! 
The wind was very strong, so our hair was all messed up. Look at how radiant and perfect our skin looked! Mine was actually all red and pimply from the morning’s facial and hormones!
Anyway, it was a nice start to dinner.
The tables were set up near the beach and there’s a platform stretching out into the sea. Perfect spot to catch the evening’s breeze. I love how the sunset was casting such a lovely feel onto everything.
Sitting at our spot, we could see the sky turning blue and then navy and then black. We also viewed the fireworks from the nearby Songs of the Sea. Twice.
For the BBQ by the Beach event, you have the opportunity to try food cooked using different BBQ techniques, for example, the traditional Hawaiian underground oven (known as the “imu”), the vertical grill and the regular barbeque grill.
You will be spoilt for choice as there will be 8 stalls set up for you to choose from. It’s a meat lovers’ paradise – you can find beef, sausages, fish and seafood there.
We didn’t manage to try all the food due to our limited stomach space, but some of the dishes were really delicious, such as the beef ribs, fried squids, BBQ crayfish and the cod with rice. A few dishes are rather ordinary though, like BBQ prawns and sotongs. The sambal stingray was too spicy for us, but those who like their food really spicy would love it. As you will only get $30 worth of vouchers, my advice is to choose well. Choose the items which are more unique, no matter how much you crave for something more ordinary.
Some of our food was slightly cold as well, but I think it’s because they had to prepare before hand and didn’t manage to have enough time to reheat. Or perhaps it’s because we spent too much time taking pictures before eating. Heehee.
A very special touch to the dinner was the music. You get to dedicate music and have it sung right in front of you, under the starlit sky. Perfect for couples. But great for friends like XY and I too! We asked for Moon River, and it was sung well! 
Overall, I didn’t think that the food was fantastic, but the ambiance more than made up for it. So, if you are thinking of where to head out for a special date with your partner or friends, do go down to Sentosa for a special BBQ by the beach. You will be treated to a lovely sunset, BBQ food, lovely music and great ambiance!
