Singapore - March 2, 2011 - It is a common sight to see guests help themselves to apples from the baskets along the corridors. An Orchard is an area of land on which fruit trees grow. As a tribute of their love for “Orchard” and Apples, Orchard Hotel will be having a daily giveaway! In addition to our complimentary apples and our picture perfect apple tree in the Lobby.

For the whole month of March, just spend $99 at the Intermezzo Bar, La Terrasse, Orchard Cafe or Hua Ting Restaurant to win an Ipod Nano in our daily drawing. This promotion also showcases our culinary team's talent in cooking up a storm using different types of uncommon apples, such as Rose Apples, Elstar Apples, Granny Smith Apples, Bramley Apples, Red Delicious Apples, Pink Lady Apples and more. Receive an “Apple Surprise” when you show our Apple Advertisement from the local papers at the participating outlets.

Diners can enjoy an Apple Feast at Orchard Cafe . Indulge in apple-tising dishes such as Trio Apple Pommery Waldolf Salad with Plump Raisin, Fuji Apple & Korean Kim Chi Salad, Rojak with with Rose Apples, Duck Confit with Apple and Cabbage, Toffee Apples and many more apple-licious items. Orchard Cafe is well known for its top local spread filled with Singapore favourites. Five well-loved specialities - Braised Pork Belly, Ikan Assam Pedas, Bee Hoon fried with Pig's Trotters, Kueh Chap and Durian Pengat, have been chosen as evergreen trademarks. May you continue to enjoy these Orchard Cafe's signature favourites in years to come.

Helmed by Master Chef Chan Kwok, Hua Ting has created two Cantonese dishes using Apples. Soups are essential to every Cantonese meal, fancy Double-boiled Apple with Carp Fish and Almond Seeds Soup ($12.00 /bowl), or perhaps Sauteed Fresh Scallops with Apples ($36.00 /dish). Alternatively try our new Signature Menu voted by our guests which features their top eight favourite dishes from the last decade:

Double-Boiled Shark's Bone Cartilage Soup with Three Treasures 翅骨汤炖三
Baked Pork Ribs with Lemon Grass 香茅炬排骨,
Crispy Roasted Duck 脆皮烧鸭,
Tiger Prawn prepared Two Ways 大虎虾两味 (椒盐头&上汤炬身),
Braised Homemade Emerald Beancurd with Seasonal Greens topped with Pan-Fried Scallops 煎带子扒翠绿豆腐时蔬,
Stewed CK Hor Fun with Assorted Seafood in Egg Sauce 滑蛋海鲜CK河粉,
Stewed Ox-Tail with Garlic 蒜子焖牛尾 and
Deep-Fried Yam Pastry 脆皮荔茸酥.

Following suit, La Terrasse has come up with a twist to the typical Teochew Muay. In place of sweet potatoes, the rice grains are boiled with green apples instead. Try our Appleridge with delicious accompanying dishes such as:

Chilled Cold Crabs,
Chicken Ngoh Hiang,
Braised Chicken Feet with Roasted Garlic,
Pomfret Fish with Black Beans,
Braised Duck with Salted Vegetables, and
the ever famous Ah Huat Braised Fatty Pork.

Satisfy your sweet tooth at the Intermezzo Bar with our 'After Dark' Cocktail - Apple-Tini ($16/glass). Who doesn't like a liqueur ice cream drink? Unlike Apple Martini which is a combination of Vodka and an Apple flavoured liquid, this drink is a blend of Vanilla Ice Cream, Napoleon VSOP, Bailey's, Granny Smith Apple and infused with Sourz Apple for a more pronounced apple relish! Packed with Apple pulp and served in a martini glass, garnished with an Apple Fan and Chocolate Balls, this drink is simply apple-citing.
