I was extremely lucky to be one of the chosen few to attend the media briefing of a New Membership Services Club, Sky Premium on 31 Aug 2016.
When I received the invitation, I was very curious about what Sky Premium offers and at the same time, I looked forward to one of the highlights of the program, which was a live demonstration of the Bluefin Tuna Cutting Ceremony. I gotta admit that I have never seen a bluefin tuna fish before and to cut it up, I reckoned it requires many years of experience and acquired skills to do it properly.
And I was so glad that I took time off to attend this very exclusive and interesting media briefing to learn more about Sky Premium.

I also bumped into my blogger friends like William and Leong and Derrick, who took most of the photos in this blog post. Thanks Derrick for the photos!
Notice all the different coloured envelopes on the photo wall? In line with Sky Premium’s philosophy of being connected under one sky with one common theme for The Good Life, media friends also had a chance to pick out exciting privileges from a photo wall, unravelling their very own experience of The Good Life.
Lucky me got a one night staycation in Wanderlust Hotel... woohoo! Thanks Sky Premium for this awesome doorgift!

The media briefing of Sky Premium, a brand new membership services club in Singapore, was held at the Japanese food enclave at Takujo Japanese Dining @ Emporium Shokuhin on 31st August 2016.
Sky Premium International’s inauguration of their new membership services club is poised to be launched in Singapore in Q4 2016. Catering to a growing pool of individuals looking to revel in unparalleled luxurious experiences, Sky Premium is one of the few members’ exclusive privilege services developed to enrich the lives of members across the globe, providing personalised lifestyle experiences to indulge in The Good Life.
The event saw a live presentation of a Bluefin tuna cutting ceremony where guests, partners and media friends got a glimpse into one of the many luxurious experiences Sky Premium has to offer.
Immersing in an afternoon reflective of The Good Life, Sky Premium delighted guests with a presentation of the Hon Maguro, also known as the Bluefin tuna cutting ceremony.
Weighing at a whopping 60kg, the tuna was air flown from sustainable sources in Uwajima prefecture, Japan, where the Maguro cutting was then performed with utmost skill and precision by Chef William Teo, head chef of Takujo Japanese Dining at Emporium Shokuhin together with his expert team of chefs. Utilizing four different sets of highly specialized knives to fillet the tuna, including one that resembles a samurai sword, the delectable Hon Maguro was artfully plated for guests in a platter of sashimi, sushi, maki and a 6-hour braised tuna head.
Just look at how enormous the bluefin tuna was! It took two men to handle it.
We started off with an appetiser which was light on the palate as it comprised of vegetables.
Next up is the star of the lunch menu... bluefin tuna!
Sakae is a must have with Japanese food! Trying a rose sakae based on the recommendation from the server. It has a tinge of sweetness so I reckoned it would be popular with the ladies.

Margaret also said, “In a day and age where time is such a commodity, we often miss out and get caught up in a daily routine of things. Sky Premium offers that very balance and luxury of time, to enjoy affordable luxury in the pursuit of living the good life. I’m delighted that we had the opportunity to showcase a novel art form of the Hon Maguro, a first-hand glimpse into some of the many luxurious experiences that Sky Premium has to offer. And we hope to continue bringing the good life experiences to more of our members in the coming months ahead.”
