An interesting concept without the hassle of fine dining etiquette and an intelligent way to savor the true taste of Seafood that is simply "finger-licking" good. If you worry about the mess you might create, do not fret as clean white aprons are provided to protect your clothes from any seafood stains. Fine-dining without utensils! Besides delicious seafood, they also have very interesting beers!!!

 Arrogant Bastard Ale
They serve very special beers there..


Dancing Crab serves a mix of robust, country-style Cajun seafood and the distinctive richness of Creole cuisine. It is the brainchild of TungLok's founder Andrew Tjioe and his nephew - Norman Hartono to bring about the American counterpart to satisfy Singapore's love for seafood, shellfish and rich flavors. After months of researching, the founders of Dancing Crab discovered age-old recipes from New Orleans as well as the rest of the United States to create Dancing Crab's signature Seafood Boil which is authentically delicious and encapsulates the soul of Southern Loisiana cuisine. Freshness of Seafood is of top priority and Dancing Crab source from the best vendors which also supply TungLok Group restaurants. 


Squeeze the lime into their special recipe.. Dip any of the seafood into this~ 


Cheers to ya all~ 
Finish your drink, and get a complimentary one!

WHAT TO ORDER - Dancing Crab offers a range of seafood from its signature Boston Lobster to Dungeness Crab. When dining at Dancing Crab, you will chance upon impressive flames rising from the open kitchen stoves located in the middle of the dining floor. That impressive flames result from cooking the Flaming Moonshine Tiger Prawns dish created by Celebrity chef Susur Lee using 3 special sauces that include wasabi, katsuo sauce, sweet wine chill sauce and lemon pickled chill sauce. Starters that are a must try include Spicy Cajin Fries, Crab Cakes, Po'Boy Sandwiches and a hearty Seafood Gumbo with a slight spicy kick.

TRAVEL - New Boutique Hotel - Adonis Hotel Singapore at 13 Purvis Street, Singapore


Singapore - New Boutique Hotel by The Adonis
Hotel Adonis Singapore
Website: www.HotelAdonis.com
Address: 13 Purvis Street, Singapore 188592
Phone: +65 6336 0013 Fax +65 6338 3013



ADONIS HOTEL SINGAPORE - A newly opened boutique hotel located on 13 Purvis Street is charming their guests with their heritage inspired decor and unique character that connects the new with the old. The hotel prides itself with providing their guests with highly personalized service and warm touch which makes their stay a comfortable and memorable one. They aim to provide all hotel guests an experience full of pleasant surprises whether traveling for business or leisure.

I had an awesome STAYCATION last Friday night. For all tourists out there, when you visit Singapore, this blog post is dedicated to you. I hope you find this blog post informative, useful and fun. 



I was invited by Victor Wang for a Staycation at the Adonis Hotel Singapore. His younger brother -Andrew Wang, is a young entrepreneur who started this boutique hotel. Their capable and very successful mother owns The Adonis, which is a very famous Beauty Spa chain in Singapore. Today, they have 9 Adonis Spa outlets in Singapore and 10 Adonis Spa outlets in Malaysia. Interestingly, they have now expanded into the very lucrative - Hotel Industry.

CHECKING IN - My girlfriend Natasha and I checked into the Hotel on Friday Night at around 6.30pm, just in time for dinner at their restaurant..

The moment I stepped into their hotel, I was greeted by their friendly staff dressed in their beautiful uniforms. The hotel decor was elegantly white and the place smell really amazing. I love hotels with their own signature fragrance. Adonis Hotel uses the same signature fragrance which is also used in all The Adonis Beauty Spas. Victor's mother explained to me over dinner, that they took around 2 months to mix and match some secret ingredients, before they finally decided on this fragrance. I love it!

The good news is that all hotel guests are given daily complimentary breakfasts and dinners at this Hotel. Their talented chef cooks very delicious dishes and we were very satisfied with our dinner.


Dinner Menu on Friday Night


Adonis Hotel Delicious Dinner
- Amuse Bouch
- Kuzo Salad
- Australia Chilled Sirloin Steak
- Fresh Seafood Spaghetti
- Creme Brulee


Our first appetizer was their welcome canapes called the Amuse Bouch. Each individual canape was specially made with a different taste and texture. It was in different fun and playful colours. Natasha and I were truly amused. We tried a couple of their different selections. Every single one of it looks different and taste different and it was exceptionally delicious. 

Our next dish was their Kuzo Salad. The very special ingredient in this salad is their "Special Japanese Emzyme", which taste really fresh and tasty. It is light yet refreshing and the best thing is that this special enymze helps to break down the food better and faster. Everything in this hotel promotes good health. It is very Adonis, just like their beauty spa. 


Natasha tried the Australia Chilled Sirloin Steak, while I had the Fresh Seafood Spaghetti. Natasha's beef was cooked to Medium Well. She had some red wine to compliment her steak. It was delicious and cooked to perfection. My seafood spaghetti on the other hand, was simply amazing! The scallops was exceptionally juicy and fat! I was told that, the chef would order a fresh load of scallops and prawns every morning, so that they can maintain a high standard of food quality. I love Fresh Seafood!

We ended our meal was their Creme Brûlée dessert. It was complimented with their very fresh Mint leaves, which the chef brought out personally from their kitchen. Apparently, he plants these Mint Leaves himself! Talk about fresh food! Natasha and I plucked our own fresh Mint Leaves from his plant and ate them with our creme brulee, the sweetness and minty-ness of the leaves really brings out a contrasting taste in the dessert.

We also checked out the rest of the hotel room. We opened everything! We looked into their closet. We see Hangers, Laundry Bag, Adonis Paperbag, Bedroom Slippers, Hair Dryer, checked checked checked! They provide everything that we needed and maybe more than what we expected too!

Next, we checked our their Coffee and Tea section. It was fantastic, each room has a Nespresso Machine and coffee specially made for Adonis Hotel and healthy Tea for all tea lovers. 

Mini Bar - BEST EVER. Complimentary snacks and drinks, replenished on a daily basis. Natasha had their amazing organic Beer while I had their healthy snack in the middle of the night at 4am, when I was hungry. The hotel is really well located. It has a 24 Hours convenient store 7/11 which is only 2 minutes walk away. There is also a MacDonalds located just 3 minutes walk away. 


Natasha and I even tested their room service IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. We called Room Service at 12am in the middle of the night to asked for an IRONING BOARD. The counter staff brought it up in less than 5 minutes. They even greeted us by our names. Talk about excellent service! I felt like a VIP passenger in Singapore Airlines Business Class, whereby all passengers are greeted by their names. Thumbs up!!! All the hotel staff were polite, courteous and friendly.


Adonis Hotel Washroom

This hotel has 5 Stars toiletries for all hotel guests. They have a complete set of customized Adonis toothbrushes, shower cap, comb, facial wash, facial scrub, hand wash, vanity kit, sewing kit, shampoo and soap, and guess what? They even have a leather shoe polisher. Trust me, they have everything! I love their hotel~ You don't need to bring any toiletries there at all. Toiletries are all replenished on a daily basis, upon request. They are complimentary! Time to pamper my body with a good bath!


They also have 24/7 Hot Water and a overhead Rain Shower. It simply feels heavenly!


Soon it was time for bed! It was 1.47am! I love how they have such a high tech music player in their rooms. Also their television screens are huge! They also have their own customized Adonis Water. They are really perfectionist. Everything you find in this room, it was thought of with meticulous care. The bed was HUGE, thick and fluffy! The pillows are high quality and feels so soft and amazing. I really enjoyed my sleep. It was a comfortable good night's sleep and rest for me :)


The next morning, I woke up for breakfast at their lobby. I love it when hotels have complimentary breakfast for their guests. They served a wide variety of white bread, whole meal bread, and even crossaints, which may all be heated up by the kitchen. They also served eggs, sausages, corn flakes with milk, and fresh fruits. It was an awesome hearty and healthy breakfast!


I checked out of the hotel at 12pm. I was well rested. Happy and ready to explore Singapore with my Australian Friends. A big thank you to Andrew Wang and Victor Wang, for giving me a chance to have a taste and experience of your fine luxury boutique hotel. 

(Victor Wang & Sara Shantelle Lim)

I love Adonis Hotel! I would definitely recommend my friends to stay here. This boutique hotel is cozy, comfortable and big on luxury. I am very impressed with their excellent customer service provided by all the hotel staff. They are friendly, warm, efficient and they definitely made my stay a very enjoyable one! THANK YOU!
