As Pan Pacific Orchard celebrates its first anniversary, Mosella, synonymous with modern Mediterranean cuisine, is excited to introduce its debut menu refresh and exciting offers. Under the direction of Executive Chef Pedro Samper, Mosella continues to craft elevated dining experiences centred around shared meals and the freshest ingredients.

New dishes like the Hokkaido Scallop Carpaccio, marinated in zesty citrus dressing; the Artichoke, served atop parsnip puree, Spanish Iberico ham, Manchego cheese, and a rich cured egg yolk; and the Spanish Paella, featuring aged bomba rice with rare wild-caught prawns, showcase traditional Mediterranean flavours with global culinary influences. At the heart of Mosella’s kitchen, the Josper oven and grill enhance the flavours and textures of premium cuts and seafood, making every meal a memorable event. Among the new grill offerings, the Porterhouse stands out, inspired by Basque grilling traditions and promising a communal dining delight.

Desserts at Mosella, led by Pastry Chef Eunice Low, are nothing short of spectacular, with creations like the flambeed Cacao dessert and the innovative Mangosteen entremet providing a spectacular finish to the dining experience.

Mosella provides a compelling dining atmosphere, perfect for special occasions and everyday dining, with options like a three-course lunch for $48++ per person and dinner for $88++ per person.

Scented Afternoon Tea Reverie in Collaboration with Maison de L’Asie

The Scented Afternoon Tea Reverie, in collaboration with Maison de L’Asie, introduces a sensory journey through the art of fragrance, paired with beautifully crafted pastries by Pastry Chef Eunice Low. This unique experience runs until the end of July at Florette, offering an exquisite escape into the world of flavours and aromas. Guests will embark on an interactive journey that unfolds across three chapters, each transporting them through the vibrant cultures of Singapore, Indonesia, and Thailand. Each chapter thoughtfully pairs distinct fragrances with corresponding pastries, further enhanced by carefully selected tea pairings to elevate the overall sensory experience. Priced at $58++ per person, with an optional tea pairing available for an additional $20++ (minimum two to enjoy), this distinctive afternoon tea service not only celebrates Pan Pacific Orchard’s anniversary but also invites guests to savour the finer pleasures of life with exceptional style.

#ArtforGood Food Art Dessert in Collaboration with UOB Painting of the Year

Pan Pacific Orchard is proud to participate in the #ArtforGood initiative, in partnership with the UOB Painting of the Year competition, now celebrating its 43rd edition. Available in June and July at Mosella, the 'edible art' experience provides a refreshing new perspective on creativity, making art a more integral and accessible part of everyday life.

Inspired by "The Grand History" by David Chan, two-time winner of the UOB Painting of the Year, Pastry Chef Eunice has crafted a dessert that captures the essence of Chan's vibrant and chaotic masterpiece, featuring multi-coloured elements and a bold interplay of sharp flavours. Ingredients such as chili, popping candies, dried raspberries, and 70% dark chocolate blend to create a journey of taste—starting with intense spice, moving through sour lime, reaching rich bitter chocolate, and concluding with the surprising burst of popping candy, symbolising the transition from chaos to balance. This dessert will be available at Mosella from 17 June to 17 July for $14++.

As part of this initiative, David Chan’s artwork "Being Yellow”, from his series “Every Trick Only Needed One Truth”, will also be auctioned off in a silent charity auction. This series explores the dichotomy between hiding and revealing, inviting viewers to look through the eyeholes of common animal-themed plastic masks and participate in the curious activity of hiding and revealing. All proceeds from the artwork and a portion of the menu proceeds will benefit ART:DIS (Arts & Disability) Singapore (@art.dis.singapore), a charity dedicated to empowering artists with disabilities to develop professional careers in the arts. Guests can participate in the auction by scanning a QR code during their dining experience or by visiting https://www.32auctions.com/ART... to place their bids.

Additionally, Pan Pacific Orchard will display selected pieces of David Chan’s artwork in the Pacific Club Lounge on Level 11, further enhancing the cultural ambiance and deepening guests' connection with the themes inspired by the art.
