Cruise

Cruise, the rooftop restaurant and bar atop the Hyatt Centric Hotel on the North Point waterfront, is launching a menu of modern Asian cuisine with popular dishes from Southeast Asia and North Asia. With its convenient location and expansive harbour views, the restaurant continues to win fans. The arrival of a new dining concept certainly helped entice us to visit again.

The restaurant is spacious, bright, and airy. The terrace, smartly arranged with comfortable couches, is perfect for after-work drinks or evening cocktails.

The lively menu encourages sharing and hearty eating – a smorgasbord of Asian comfort foods perfect for gatherings of friends and family. Cruise also serves an extensive collection of cocktails, wines and beers to go with the food.

Dishes we tried included Seasonal Oysters ($500/12 pieces) – delicious raw oysters that go perfectly with champagne or a light white wine; Hiramasa Kingfish ($180) – a nicely seasoned sashimi; Kings Tartare ($320) – made with flavourful King salmon; Korean Broccoli ($100); and yummy Chicken Satay ($140/6 pieces).

More sharing plates came next. The Cheeky Massaman, M4 Australian (350g) ($300) is a real treat – the marbled and juicy meat is tender and packed with flavour. Changes Pork Belly Ssam ($160) is also tasty, as is Sambal Fried Rice ($60), Wok-fried XO Cauliflower ($60), and stir-fried Morning Glory ($60). For desserts, we shared a whole Tropical Cruise Alaska ($180), intended for 2 to 4 people.

Cruise offers a slate of themed cocktails named after various Asian cruise destinations. We tried Bauhinia Blanc, a gin cocktail named for Hong Kong; Chilly Sakura, a refreshing sake drink with a Tokyo appellation; and Phang-nga Butterfly, for Phuket, each priced at $108.

Cruise also offers an array of F&B promotions throughout the week. They include Crab Night – Every Wednesday Night for $390, with free flow for an extra $108 per person, Cruise Weekend Lunch and Bubbles for gourmet food and free flow champagne, wine and other beverages ($490 per person, with min of two persons).

Cruise is fast becoming one of the top spots for dining in North Point, with its vibrant menu, wonderful setting and relaxed ambience. It’s the perfect venue for a hearty and fun-filled meal. Give it a try!
