The search for great food has become one of the key reasons to travel. According to Hilton’s 2025 Trends Report, nearly one in five global travelers prioritize culinary experiences when planning their trips, with 50% of them making restaurant reservations even before their flights. Younger Gen Alpha and Gen Z travelers in Asia Pacific are also increasingly involved in vacation planning for their family, with 87% of them actively contributing to making decisions such as selecting dining destinations.
Recognizing this growing interest, Hilton properties across South East Asia are elevating dining experiences with innovative culinary concepts that celebrate classic flavors, local ingredients, and refined cooking techniques.
As the saying goes, we eat with our eyes too. Whether you’re lounging by the beach or enjoying the city skyline, Hilton serves up a feast for the senses, with curated interiors and stunning views that heighten the culinary experience in some of the region’s most sought-after travel destinations.
An Ingenious Gastro-Cocktail Experience at East47, Conrad Singapore Orchard
Set within Conrad Singapore Orchard’s acclaimed Manhattan Bar, the newly launched East47 bar redefines the boundaries of mixology and culinary craftsmanship. This intimate 12-seater pays homage to Andy Warhol’s famous New York studio, The Silver Factory, and the vibrant art scene of the 1960s.
Embracing bold creativity and forward-thinking ingenuity, East47 features an ever-evolving menu of lively cocktails and creative food pairings that take the concept of cocktail gastronomy to new heights. Must-tries include the Cosmo Marilyn, a playful twist on the classic Cosmopolitan in tribute to Warhol’s iconic silkscreen painting, the “Marilyn Diptych” – and best enjoyed when paired with the Chawanmushi, a tea-infused egg custard topped with fresh Hokkaido uni. There’s also the smoky SBAAAAAM!!, a bourbon cocktail fat-washed with yoghurt and popcorn. Inspired by Roy Lichtenstein’s bold comic-strip art, this cocktail channels pop art’s exuberant energy and pairs perfectly with Wagyu, a composition of hanger steak, Béarnaise sauce, and pickled onions to deliver a rich medley of savory, smoky, sweet, and buttery flavors.
With an expertly crafted menu and striking interiors to match, East47 invites guests to experience the essence of Warhol’s artistic universe.
