Arbora: Now more family-friendly than ever!

One Faber Group’s Arbora is now Arbora Hilltop Garden & Bistro, but besides its refreshed name, their menu selection has been tweaked to be more family-friendly, making the whole Faber Peak destination an ideal place for the family.

As it is, the whole area is great for kids as the panoramic view is fun for kids to spot the Singapore Cable Car, vessels around Harbourfront, and prominent Sentosa landmarks.

Kids can also ring Poland’s Bells of Happiness at the Arbora Garden to bring blessings of joy or make a wish and hang a wishing bell on the bridge just outside the restaurant.

But now from 7 October 2020, the kids’ menu at Arbora now has been expanded. Kid’s activity sheets with food-safe colour pencils are also provided to keep kids entertained until the food arrives.

Family-friendly menu

There are also new menu additions in the adult menu at Arbora and among the more fun dishes is the Caesar salad (in a jar) ($15++).

Chicken, bacon bits, quail eggs and croutons are served on a bed of crisp romaine lettuce, with salad dressing on the side and the whole family can get involved by tossing the ingredients in the jar.

The usual shredded vegetables in rojak have also been swapped out in the Arbora Rojak ($16++). Instead you get thin slices of green mango and papaya with bean sprouts, tofu puffs, cucumber and the salad is topped off with huge fried ebi prawns.

Kids will also love the Pineapple-Glazed Pork Ribs ($28++).

It’s marinated in pineapple puree and tomato sauce for four hours then steam-baked in a combination oven, which keeps the meat tender and juicy.

It’s browned under a grill for that smoky depth to the flavour and served with a side of spiced sweet potato fries.

The Flower Pot Surprise ($16++) is great fun for kids as everything on this dessert plate is edible – including the miniature milk chocolate flowerpot!

Inside the pot — under the cookie crumble topping — is a lusciously rich lemon cream.

To seal the deal, there are two family combos on offer.

The Family Combo 1 ($58++) gets you two adult mains, one kids main and a choice of a side/dessert, while the Family Combo 2 adds an additional kids main into the mix.

PEAKnic at Mount Faber

Arbora has also introduced pre-packaged picnic sets called the Arbora PEAKnic Set ($78).

Available till 28 November, every picnic set is packed with classic comfort food like Roasted Potato Salad, Cheese and Mixed Berries, and Homemade Meatball Burger with Tuscan Tomato Sauce.

It even comes with a free picnic mat, so you can focus on picking the perfect picnic spot at Mount Faber.

It’s great for up to three persons and each set needs to be ordered online with Arbora at least one day in advance.

There is also a local halal picnic version available. Made by Good Old Days (GOLD), One Faber Group’s family-friendly Halal-certified restaurant in Sentosa, the GOLD PEAKnic Set ($48) features local favourites such as Ayam Masak Merah and Chicken Biryani Rice.

GOLD is located near the Beach Station and Wings of Time, easily accessible via the Sentosa Express or Shuttle Bus.
