Specialising in the best premium Japanese wagyu that melts in your mouth, Fat Cow is a Japanese steakhouse where you can enjoy an extensive array of top-of-the-line Japanese beef.

Fans of the award-winning fine-dining Japanese restaurant will be thrilled to know that they have opened MIYOSHI by Fat Cow, a new modern dining concept at Mess Hall in Sentosa.

MIYOSHI, which translates to ‘three graces’, is an allusion to the restaurant’s roots and its concept. A culinary collaboration by Head Chef Shingo Iijima of Fat Cow and Sous Chef Nigel Loh, MIYOSHI by Fat Cow focuses on three iconic dining experiences of Japanese cuisine – ramen, teppan-kaiseki and omakase.

If it is your first time visiting MIYOSHI by Fat Cow, we highly recommend going for their dinner Teppan-Kaiseki (S$280+++ and additional S$78++ for a 4-glass sake pairing) – an exquisite 11-course meal which showcases some of the best offerings by the modern Japanese restaurant. We were simply blown away by the sheer lavishness of the premium ingredients.

MIYOSHI by Fat Cow’s Teppan-Kaiseki dinner menu

• Zensai
• Fresh Spring Rolls & Wagyu Tartare
• Wagyu Sawani-wan
• Straw Smoked Hokkaido Scallops
• Uni Soba
• Yuzu Butter Madai
• Steamed Abalone
• Teppan Style Sukiyaki
• Wagyu Tenderloin A4
• Signature Garlic Rice
• Black Sesame Tofu

The meal began with a series of appetisers in the form of “light bites”. The Wagyu Kinome Yaki was a no-frills kind of appetiser – just a lovely piece of wagyu that’s pan-seared to a perfect tenderness.

A thinly-sliced A4 wagyu slice was lightly boiled then simmered in a lovely dashi broth with shredded vegetables, and the end result was simply sublime. What a way to start our Teppan-Kaiseki!

These Straw Smoked Hokkaido Scallops has redefined scallops for us. Probably among the hugest scallops we’ve ever seen, these plump babies were carefully teppanyaki-grilled for that hint of smokiness while retaining the juiciness.

The Uni Soba was such a pretty dish! And it tasted as good as it looked. You get fresh uni atop cold soba, topped with nikumiso and soba sauce – the dish was creamy with a nice texture, and subtly sweet.

This dish of Yuzu Butter Madai was superb! A fresh chunk of a sea bream is seared on the teppan, then coated with yuzu kyoto miso and served with sweet seasonal vegetables; light flavours, yet packs a punch.

The highlight for us was the Teppan Style Sukiyaki. Luxuriate in a slice of marinated wagyu, served in a black truffle sukiyaki and egg yolk sauce – we were so in awe of this dish that we wanted more.

Saving the best for the last, we had the Wagyu Tenderloin A4. It was lightly seasoned with salt and pepper to allow the natural flavour of the beef to shine. You can always count on the Fat Cow team to serve the best steaks!

Other than the Teppan-Kaiseki, MIYOSHI by Fat Cow offers other a la carte dishes and you can choose from various menus including Teppanyaki, Robatayaki, Sukiyaki, Shabu Shabu, Donburi and Ramen.

From the prized Satsuma beef to the renowned Hida beef, and everyone’s favourite Miyazaki beef, MIYOSHI by Fat Cow offers some of the best premium Japanese beef in Singapore.

Go for their Robatayaki-style Satsuma A4 Tenderloin (S$158) or Hida A5 Wagyu Ribeye (S$148). And not forgetting the crowd-favourite wagyu donburi. You can go for the Wagyu Yakiniku Donburi or try the Hida Wagyu Ribeye & Satsuma Tenderloin Donburi teppanyaki-style.

Another highlight of MIYOSHI by Fat Cow is the Wagyu Shoyu Ramen (S$58++) that features premium Miyazaki A4 wagyu presented in shabu-style slices.

From now till 30 June 2023, when you dine with a guest for the teppan-kaiseki dinner set menu, pay by Mastercard and receive a complimentary bottle of sake.

#2 GIN KHAO BISTRO

If you have a penchant for spicy and sour food, then a meal at Gin Khao Bistro will bring your taste buds on a gastronomic journey to Thailand.

It is unheard of to skip their Flame Grilled Pork Jowl with Thai Dip (S$15.80) because the succulent pork slices are grilled to perfection and come with a slightly charred exterior that goes really well with the lean meat.

Another classic dish that is worthy of praises includes the Pineapple Tom Yum soup served in Husk (S$16.80). Diners get to drink it straight from a pineapple husk and we’ve got to say, this is the most aesthetically-pleasing tom yum soup we have ever seen so far! Other noteworthy dishes are the Thai Soufflé Steamed Egg (S$10.80) and Pineapple Sang Som (S$26.80).

#4 GREENWOOD FISH MARKET

The chic seafood restaurant is the ideal social gathering spot for groups of friends and is also a romantic dining destination for couples too. We always enjoy a visit to Greenwood Fish Market because of the plethora of fresh seafood that is available on their menu.

Look forward to the upcoming 6th World Oyster Festival from 1st to 31st July where you get to sample on different species of oysters (prices vary according to species of oysters) that are sourced from all over the world—Mary Points, Ostra Regal and Barron Points are just some to name. Boy, we had such a good time slurping them all up and comparing the differences in taste. Yes, each variety of oyster has their own unique identity!

Otherwise, opt for the Rock Lobster Thermidor (S$69.95) if you are up for something more premium—the luscious meat was covered in a blanket of brandy cream sauce topped with cheese before it is baked in the oven till golden brown. Another excellent option is the Hot Smoked Ocean Trout (S$35.95) which came with Portobello mushroom confit and grilled lettuce.

#5 MISKA CAFÉ

With tables that come with colourful squared tiles and an al fresco dining area, Miska Café emits cheerful and laid-back vibes that encourage you to stay on for a tipple or more.

Modern mediterranean food is what Miska Café specialises in and their menu boasts a mixture of Greek, Turkish and Middle Eastern food. Prepare yourself for some fresh produce, rich spices and exotic flavours that are uncommon on our tiny island.

We recommend the Lamb Kofta Wrap (S$22) for the hearty eaters as the wraps that are served to you are filled with generous portions of grilled marinated lamb, thinly sliced onions, romaine lettuce, tomato slices, tzatziki sauce and parsley. All wraps come with your choice of side salad or fries.

New on the menu is the Shrimp Shakshouka (S$26), which is essentially oven-baked eggs with roasted stewed tomato, fetacheese, chilli peppers, onion and a generous serving of shrimps. If not, another typical Mediterranean option is the Chicken Sanga (S$18.50) and it features breaded chicken, tomato chutney and machego cheese in between ciabatta bread.

When it comes to their food, Museo aims to reshape the way you think about fine dining. Their casual fine dining concept involves serving food in elegant glass jars which invoke some fun into the dining experience.

Some dishes to try are the Cold Pasta (S$11), Pan-Seared Hokkaido Sea Scallop (S$14), Smoked Roast Pork (S$12) and Deep-Fried Camembert Cheese (S$13) before rounding your meal with the refreshing Red Wine Poached Pear with Berry Compote (S$15) and Cream Cheese Panna Cotta with Watermelon Freeze (S$13).

Should you be looking for something more luxurious, the Buttered Glaze Lobster (S$45) that comes with lobster bisque, couscous, caviar, Chardonnay jelly and watermelon cloud will definitely be something worthy to splurge on.

For communal dining, the Seafood Paella (S$29) is an excellent option that will satisfy all the seafood lovers at the table. Just imagine the medley of fresh seafood atop a bed of warm, fluffy rice that has been seasoned with saffron and other spices.

If you are just looking for some light bites to go along with drinks, their Ceviche de Gambas (S$18)—essentially Tiger prawns served with corn tortilla chips—and Carpaccio de Pulpo (octopus carpaccio, S$18) are the top picks on their tapas menu.

#9 SCHMEAR

Schmear—opened by a New Yorker who wanted to share his passion for bagels—is where you can walk into the smell of freshly baked New York-style bagels and over-the-top meat platters.

Their hand-rolled NY bagels are obviously the best sellers on the menu and you can either choose to personalise your own bagel with various toppings or go for scrumptious options such as The New Yorker (S$8) and The Central Park (S$14). These bagels come with different types of cream cheese and sides such as salmon and eggs—talk about a breakfast fit for kings.

For the carnivores, Schmear’s BBQ Babyback Ribs (S$32, full size) and the House-Ground Steak Burger (S$18) will leave your tummies satisfied and happy. The former is succulent pork ribs coated with Schmear’s homemade tangy BBQ sauce and the latter is a 200g house-ground all-beef patty with caramelised onions, California cheddar cheese, BBQ sauce, lettuce and tomato, with the option to add bacon, egg, and/or guacamole ($3 each or $8 for all).

There are so many cafes and restaurants in Sentosa that will be worth travelling all the way into the heart of the island for. Whether you head down as a family or with friends, you will find a restaurant that suits you. Here are 9 Cafes & Restaurants In Sentosa You Must Check Out.

#1 COASTES

Coastes sits by the shore on Siloso Beach and its massive space allows for awesome communal dining in big groups. Coastes is just a 5-minute walk from the Beach Station.

Most of the food at Coastes makes for a great communal dining experience. Pizzas, platters and sharing snacks; just to speak of a few. The Big Bad Wolf Pizza (S$25) has a simple mix of bacon, roast chicken, capsicum and mushrooms as toppings that we thoroughly enjoyed, especially with its thin and crunchy crust.

The Bourbon-Glazed Pork Ribs (S$20 Half/ S$30 Full) was so tender and soft that it fell off the bone as soon as we cut into it. Come in a bigger group and you should order the giant Seafood Platter (S$52)—an assortment of seafood that includes pan-fried crayfish, crab salad, fish stew, poached tiger prawns with pineapple salsa, chilli clams and calamari rings.

#2 FOC SENTOSA

FOC Sentosa has a Spanish menu that is wholesome and very palatable. We started our meal with the Spanish Vermouth, which is a combination of several different starters such as the Bread with Tomato (S$10), Iberico Ham (S$30) and Anchovies in Olive Oil (S$16).

The food might seem simple but we were blown away by the quality. The Jamon Iberico Ham was tantalising when eaten with the tomato bread.

The Senyoret Paella (S$40/2 pax) was the highlight of our meal. Cooked with squid and monkfish, every mouthful was a literal burst of flavours from the spices and herbs used to cook the Paella.

We ended our meal off with an interesting dessert. The Yin Yang Cracker (S$14) is more than just its novelty appearance. The hazelnut cream centre was so rich and cold, almost like ice cream.

Take your time to enjoy this amazing creation and savour the sweetness from the watermelon chunks.

The Crayfish with glass noodle served in claypot (S$20.80) is arguably another one of Gin Khao Bistro’s best dishes.

Paired with glass noodles bursting with the flavours of the rich sauce, your taste buds will not be disappointed.

Greenwood Fish Market gives you the choice of dining in its stylish, sleek restaurant or to go alfresco and dine by the quayside. Either way, the dining experience should please your date.

#5 MYKONOS ON THE BAY

Mykonos On The Bay is probably the closest we can get to authentic Greek dining experience in Singapore. With a blue and white theme juxtaposed against the tiled rock floor, we felt ourselves being transported to the idyllic Mykonos the moment we stepped into the restaurant.

The serene atmosphere at Mykonos On The Bay is complemented by its wonderful spread of Greek delights; there is just so much to celebrate!

Begin your meal with the Mykonos Dip Platter (S$26) comprising of Tzatziki, Taramasalata and Melitzanosalata. Then, feast on the Mousaka (S$27) which although resembles a lasagna, is actually an eggplant and potato dish with ground meat and béchamel sauce. Or, try the Pita Gyros (S$27.50), which is a marinated pork belly served with homemade pita bread and tzatziki.

#6 OLA BEACH CLUB

Ola Beach Club is the newest kid on the block, having only opened its doors a mere 5 months ago. Besides being a beach club and a water sports centre, Ola Beach Club dishes out traditional Hawaiian fare that is true to its roots.

The Ahi Poke (S$20) is a classic favourite that is a bowl of beautifully marinated ahi tuna, guacamole, ebiko, pomegranate and kimchi! If you want something a little more filling, The Huli Huli Chicken (S$20) can do no wrong. Both chicken breast and thigh are well marinated with Teriyaki sauce before being served with charred leek, a carrot, root vegetable purée and natural jus.

However, our absolute favourite dish was the Loco Moco (S$25). A thick 150g Wagyu patty sits on top the most fragrant and tasty kombu rice. The rice itself was so good, and atop the Wagyu patty sits a panko poached egg. Cut through it and watch the magic happen.

#7 WAVE HOUSE SENTOSA RESTAURANT & BAR

Known for being a water sports destination, especially with its iconic wave pool, you should be no stranger to Wave House Sentosa Restaurant & Bar. This beach club occupies the area towards the end of Siloso Beach Club and dishes out great casual communal Western fare.

After trying out the water sports, you should be positively starving. So why not grab a plate of the Nachos Supreme (S$16.30)? The portion is extremely generous and you get a side of guacamole, salsa and sour cream to dip.

For your main course, try the 6 OZ Handmade Beef Burger 9 (S$17) that includes spicy roasted peanut sauce, cucumber, lettuce and roasted red onions, served with salad greens and straight cut fries.

Try the All Time Favourite ‘Wipe-Out’ Pizza (S$17.80). This crowd-favourite is topped with beef pepperoni, smoked chicken, chicken bratwurst, mushrooms, capsicum, pineapples, olives and herbs.

Tucked away in the corner of the first level of the prestigious ONE°15 Marina Club, WOK°15 Kitchen is a Chinese restaurant that offers a menu which includes local specialities and Cantonese cuisine.

An array of astounding seafood delights awaits, such as the Garoupa served two ways which comprises sliced sautéed Garoupa fish fillet and deep-fried Garoupa fish bone served with chilli salsa on the side. This dish had an immaculate presentation and also featured a delicate bird hand-crafted from just carrots. Impressive, to say the least.

The nourishing Double Boiled Sakura Chicken Soup was something that we really enjoyed and though light, it was extremely fragrant and flavourful.

Your meal will not be complete without the Wok°15 Signature Chilli Crab—Sri Lankan crabs stir-fried in spicy sweet chilli sauce and served in a wok. Of course, you have to dip your deep-fried mantou buns in the sweet chilli crab sauce. Let no sauce go to waste!

Brussels Sprouts – Belgian Beer & Mussels

Yusheng is a must-have dish during Chinese New Year, but most places serve it with the usual ingredients and dressing. Why not try something special this year? Brussels Sprouts has the Poisson Cru Platter – its rendition of a “Belgian” Yusheng. Consisting of turnip, beetroot, Sirop de Liege, peanuts, raspberry vinegar, rollmops and mussels crackers, this Yusheng will definitely stand out among the rest you will be having this year.

On Valentine’s Day, Brussels Sprouts is offering several interesting dishes – like Scallops Dumpling (S$18), Warm Tea Smoked Salmon (S$32), Duck Breast Peking style (S$32) and a Chocolate & Passionfruit Lantern (S$12) dessert – specially for the occasion.

Museo

A sexy restaurant that sits on the second level, boasting a panoramic view of Quayside Isle, Museo is among our favourites, and we will tell you just why. Apart from their stylish take on the furniture and tableware, their Valentine’s Dinner menu – available on 13 and 14 Feb 2014 – is that of a spectrum of flavours so beautifully complex, we strongly urge couples to spend the special occasion there.

Begin your evening at the restaurant by experiencing how to make your own Sangria with your date. Following which, enjoy the Three-appetisers Platter, a medley of smoked duck breast, chicken consomme flavoured with cepes mushrooms, and basil cheese baked king oyster. They are all flavourful but the star of the show has definitely got to be the main courses. Choose from Grilled Wagyu Beef Rump and King Prawn in Crispy Kataifi Pastry or Grilled Half Lobster and Chicken Roulade. Dessert is a serving of Tiramisu with almond tuile, panna cotta and mango caviar.

After having a romantic 3-course dinner, continue the night with 1.5 hours of painting session at the art studio. This special promotion is available at S$288nett for two.

Picotin Express

This well-loved European bistro has an astounding take on the Lunar New Year this year. You are in for a treat with the festive creations of Guoxia Pizza and Lijiang Pizza which are both S$22 each. The former is a bold and unique pairing of roast duck, plum sauce and water chestnut; the latter is Picotin’s rendition of a Chinese-inspired pizza, featuring a brilliant combination of Chinese sausages and spring onions. And in case the tastes do not wow you enough, take delight in the names that are bestowed upon – both are named after Chinese horse breeds in lieu of the celebratory year of the Horse. Talk about paying homage to Chinese traditions!

For Valentine’s Day, look out for the Black Board Specials only available on 14 Feb 2014. Starters include Burrata, Parma Ham and Rocket Salad (S$26); Charcuterie Platter (S$18); and our pick among all – the Avocado and Lobster Salad (S$19). Options for the main courses include a heavenly combination of Pan Fried Halibut with spinach atop tomato cream sauce and potato roesti (S$35); Crab and Prawn Risotto (S$28); and Cote de Boeuf to share (S$90). Sweet endings include Duo of Strawberry (S$12), but we’d recommend the Trio of Chocolate (S$20) to share because the brownie is too good to pass.

This post is brought to you by Quayside Isle.

An unobstructed view of the marina and an array of restaurants & lifestyle retail outlets – A whole new world is born in Singapore. Quayside Isle is a new integrated F&B and retail development within the luxurious Sentosa Cove enclave.

What makes Quayside Isle a place you can return to again and again is its excellent mix of eateries — from affordable options such as Kith and Grillado, to chill-out spots like Sabio by the Sea, Tapas & Grill and Brussels Sprouts – Belgian Beer & Mussels — and a breath-taking view of the beautiful marina. There are few places in Singapore that can match this new spot in terms of its diversity of dining options, as well as the overall ambience.

This is a place where I can come with a few friends to relax over drinks and finger food, or bring my family for celebratory meals during the festive season. It is also great for an intimate gathering with friends or a romantic date with your partner – the setting of the waterfront dining restaurants makes you feel you are on a vacation without even having to leave Singapore.

Below we share some of the highlights of the restaurants at Quayside Isle, Sentosa Cove.

Brussels Sprouts – Belgian Beer & Mussels

Brussels Sprouts – Belgian Beer & Mussels set up by celebrity chef Emmanuel Stroobant is the ideal spot to go with friends to unwind after work. Get a few pots of their famous Moules Frites ($20 for 350g, $40 for 750g) to share. The Ostendaise mussels – made up of fish stock, lobster bisque, grey shrimp and mushroom – is the most popular choice. A craving for spicy flavours can be easily satisfied with their Tom Yum mussels.

We were also thoroughly impressed by its assortment of toasts. We had the Toast Cannibal ($14) – steak tartare on toast with gherkins; Rollmops Sur Toast ($14) – marinated herrings on a bed of green apple salad and roasted beetroot on toast; and Salade De Crabe ($14) – guacamole spread on toast topped with king crab and tomato salad. These homemade toasts were surprisingly good, and it was impossible to stop at one.

From 9 to 24 Feb 2013, Brussels Sprouts is offering Chinese New Year ala carte specials like glass noodle salad with pomelo, scallops with bamboo shoots, and mandarin orange & kumquat mousse – definitely an interesting alternative from the usual Chinese festive fare.

Grillado

First of its kind in Singapore, Grillado serves flat roasted Portuguese-style grilled chickens and chicken burgers, making it a must-try for poultry lovers.

For a healthier option, order the Body Burger ($8.95), consisting of chicken, spinach, tomato and Grillado’s signature sauce, where the meat is tender and juicy; and the Balmoral Beach Burger ($8.95), named after Sydney’s Balmoral Beach, which explains the golden theme of cheese, pineapple, mayo mustard and chicken.

Their flat-roasted Portuguese-style grilled chickens are also worth a try. A quarter chicken ($7.95), with a beer or coke, is all you need for dinner before taking a stroll along the beautiful marina.

Do check out Grillado’s promotion in February: Purchase 2 burger or roasted chicken combos and receive 2 complimentary cups of homemade yoghurt with fresh fruit or muesli.

Note di Sicilia

For folks who have a sweet tooth, you must make a pit stop at Note di Sicilia for gelato. To ensure quality, they have specially imported a traditional machine from Italy to make fresh gelato daily.

The Milano gelato maker offers 16 different flavours. For me, the most outstanding flavour was the Fior di Latte – smooth, rich, and silky. The Pistachio gelato was equally good and similar to the ones that I tried in Italy.

Besides gelato, Note di Sicilia also serves good cocktails. Go for their signature Cosmo Calabria, a simple but brilliant concoction of raspberry, lemon and vodka.

Paradiso Restaurant & Bar

Opened by the folks behind Cuba Libre and Nueva Cuba, Paradiso Restaurant & Bar is set to be the see and be seen place in Quayside Isle by replicating the same winning formula: a sexy atmosphere, expertly made cocktails and tasty tapas.

It is nice to see that the menu not only has a good selection – from tapas, to burgers, pastas and vegetarian options – but it is also reasonably priced. For instance, the classic Seafood Paella is only $28, and most of the main courses are below $25.

With its delicious mixture of prawns, squids, mussels, fish and vegetables, cooked in prawn stock, the Seafood Paella was our favourite. The Filo Salmon Wrap ($20) also left an impression with its crispy filo pastry encasing the moist and tasty fish with a tangy salsa sauce.

Paradiso Restaurant & Bar is having a 20% off total bill promotion in February.

Sabio by the Sea, Tapas & Grill

Sabio by the Sea, Tapas & Grill is quite the perfect place to soak up the nautical environment and spend the whole afternoon relaxing by the marina.

Besides having an array of tapas, it also has a new Josper grill menu (exclusive to this outlet) which features signatures such as El Pulpo ($19), grilled octopus leg with viola mash potato; El Cerdo ($20), herbs marinated pig shoulder served with sauteed potatoes; and Esparrago ($16), grilled asparagus with serano ham and soft egg. The dish that stood out was El Cerdo – marinated pig shoulder – which paired perfectly with a glass of sangria. The Sabio’s Churros ($11) with chocolate dip is also a dessert that I’d definitely return for.

Sabio by the Sea, Tapas & Grill is offering a 1-for-1 deal on glasses of Sangria during the month of February.
