Spago is probably my favorite place for lunch at Marina Bay Sands. I always found the set lunch to be great value. It may not be the cheapest option, but the food quality and service is excellent. That said, I found my recent visit to be not as satisfying as before. Prices have gone up and portions are much smaller than before. I hope this trend doesn’t continue. The complimentary bread basket used to be literally a basket with 4-5 different kinds of bread. That was always something I looked forward to. But this time, it’s just two kinds of bread. Both were good, but just not what it used to be. The appetizer was the main disappointment. I decided to try a special dish, “fish and chips”, that’s not on the regular menu. I was surprised they really served potato chips, which tasted no different from what you can buy from a convenience store. There’s a dip made of raw fish and tartar sauce. It was pretty good, but just didn’t feel like a dish I would expect from Spago. I chose the pork loin for the main course. It was excellent, just like what I remember it to be. I especially liked the bacon bits and apple puree. The Peranakan-inspired dessert was interesting in concept, but a little ordinary in execution. It’s essentially just a chocolate coffee with chocolate truffles. If you decide to come here, I recommend ordering the standard items instead of the special items, which tend to be more miss than hit.
