    GOURMET TREATS

    For a real taste of the sea, savour Raffles Tasmania Hand Caught Abalone, harvested from the pristine waters in the southernmost part of Australia. Wild-caught rather than farmed, the abalones have a more intense flavour and are minimally treated to preserve their natural goodness. Vacuum-packed in their own juices and ready to eat, you'll relish their distinct natural saltiness and tender-crisp texture with just the perfect chewiness. Great as a cold-starter or even braised in your favourite dishes, it's a perfect complement to every celebration.

    Priced at S$168 for 160g, available from the Raffles Boutique or rafflescelebrations.com.sg
