(Singapore, 17 July 2013) - Brunei's palatial Empire Hotel & Country Club has launched a "Girls' Getaway" package for two ladies with spa pampering priced at S/B$1,300 for four days/three nights at the opulent seaside resort.

 

The "Girls' Getaway", including accommodation in a luxurious Deluxe Room, daily breakfast, return airport transfers in a private car and welcome drinks, also features two glorious spa pampering sessions - the Ambuyat body scrub and Empire Signature massage, 45 minutes each.

 

A special highlight for those visiting from 19-31 August is a dining promotion by award-wining Chef Mario Caramella of inITALY Bar Ristorante (www.initaly.asia) in Singapore, who came second representing Singapore in this year's Pasta World Championships in Parma, Italy.

 

Chef Mario headed the kitchens of some of the region's most well-known and awarded restaurants throughout his 30-year career spanning Italy, Canada, UK, Hong Kong, Australia, Thailand, Indonesia and Singapore.
 

Guests are invited to savour the best of Chef Mario's authentic Italian fare at The Empire's signature Italian restaurant Spaghettini, which includes the dish that earned him the prestigious honour - chilled Barilla Spaghettini with succulent raw Adriatic scampi topped with Italian Calvisius Beluga caviar.

 

Complementing the "Girls' Getaway", light, healthy dishes especially created for ladies include Cous Cous 'Alla Trapanese' with raw tuna and passion fruit dressing, and Red Garoupa 'Aqua Pazza' with mussels and clams.

 

Famed for his pasta dishes, Chef Mario is also including his acclaimed Squid Ink Tonnarelli with prawns and Lobster Risotto on the menu, along with his signature desserts, Zabaglione Passion Fruit Mousse and Ricotta Cheese Cake.
