Bedrock, one of Singapore’s finest and most reputable steakhouses, has opened its second restaurant at Oasia Resort Sentosa—set amidst the lush tropical backdrop of Sentosa Island—on 01 September 2021.

The new Bedrock Origin at Oasia Resort Sentosa offers an evolved and elevated dining experience that reflects its idyllic coastal locale with options for everyone in an expanded menu.

Enjoy 15% discount on à la carte lunch menu when you pay with Mastercard®.

The menu features more diverse ingredients such as a new and exclusive selection of seafood, dry-aged meats, as well as roasted harvests, in addition to the perennial must-have steaks. In line with Oasia Resort Sentosa’s wellness lifestyle, Bedrock Origin also offers plant-based meat alternatives, as well as nutritious and keto-friendly options.

For over a decade, the acclaimed dining establishment has been serving up the finest steak cuts at its flagship Bedrock Bar & Grill at Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Orchard. Bedrock has remained true to its culinary philosophy, with a focus on natural ingredients that are always from the earth, of the earth, and by the earth.

Dishes are prepared using primal techniques such as grilling on the authentic applewood fire grill to deliver the best intrinsic flavours from the ingredients. The Bedrock philosophy extends to its drinks, with an exquisite collection of whiskies from around the world.

Fans of the steakhouse can look forward to highlights such as the exquisite Tankaku Wagyu Striploin at Bedrock Origin! Served for the first time in Singapore, the Tankaku Wagyu is a rare breed limited to less than 1% of all Wagyu cattle in Japan. Leaner with less marbling, the Tankaku Wagyu is loved for its superb savoury flavour and texture. Best savoured on its own to taste all the intense flavours, it can also be paired with Bedrock’s specialty red wine sauce, Bedrock chilli oil, classic béarnaise, wholegrain whisky mustard, and steak butter.

Also new are the prized, certified Kobe Wagyu Striploin (S$268++ for 150g), the Dry-Aged Australian Barley Fed Bone-In Striploin (S$110++ for 400g), and Bone-In Tenderloin (S$98++ for 300g). Aged in-house for a minimum of 21 days, the Bone-In Striploin and Tenderloin are cooked on the bone over the signature applewood fire grill to retain its succulence and develop a greater depth of flavour.

New and exclusive to Bedrock Origin, the Origins Specialties is a curated list of hearty fish dishes grilled to perfection to highlight its delicate flavours, is the true showcase of Bedrock’s expertise on the grill.

Call in advance and place your order for the glorious Whole Turbot (2-3kg) and the sustainable, locally farmed Ku?hlbarra Barramundi (3.5-4kg) as the fresh seafood are to be dry-aged in-house for three days and seven days respectively to enhance flavour, texture, and consistency. The Aged Kühlbarra Barramundi Tail (S$88++), lifted by the zesty, piquant flavours of chilli, herbs and a squeeze of lemon, is also perfect for sharing.

You can also savour other Origin creations like the Kingfish Sashimi (S$32++) with brown rice puff, chopped wasabi and drizzled with a robust ceviche soy dressing or the Line Caught Tuna Collar (S$58++) from Japan that is first marinated in miso, oven baked, and enjoyed alongside vine ripened tomatoes and straw fries housemade with Yukon Gold potatoes.

Plant-based and keto-friendly dishes such as Plant-Based Beef Wellington (S$38++), served with mixed green salad and roasted vegetables demi-glace, and Grilled Pear Salad (S$22++), a well-balanced mix of sweet grilled pears, peppery arugula, crunchy walnuts, dates, and savoury blue cheese dressing, are offered at Bedrock Origin in support of Oasia Resort Sentosa’s wellness lifestyle.

The signature Bedrock Mac ‘N’ Cheese (S$22++), well-loved for its addictive crispy cheese crust and rich creaminess, is a definite must-order. The Spicy Brussels Sprouts (S$16++) is also a great option to cut through all the meat – blanched and then grilled, the flavourful brussels sprouts are tossed in crunchy quinoa and house-made chilli oil, then finished with lemon zest.

Pair your meats with wine from the extensive wine list (from S$13++ to S$188 ++ per glass), traditional whiskies from all around the world (from S$11++ to S$150++ per glass), including limited edition labels like the Woodford Reserve ‘Master Collection Very Rare Fine Bourbon’, or explore the creative whisky-based cocktails prepared in collaboration with Woodford Reserve.

And because there is always room for dessert, the signature Bombe Alaska (S$22++) is an excellent choice to conclude the meal. Layers of raspberry white chocolate ice cream and butter cookies, enrobed in meringue and flambéed with rum, a classic finished tableside for a fiery and satisfying finale. Other option is the classic Bedrock Crumble For 2 (S$26++), baked apples with cinnamon topped with a crunchy walnut infused streusel and creamy vanilla ice cream.

Bathed in natural light in the day and emitting a jewelled radiance in the evening, the main dining room at Bedrock Origin exudes an inviting ambience with an open kitchen to bring guests closer to the action.

The 18-seat Applewood private dining room works for private or corporate events which can also be partitioned into 2 for a more intimate dining experience.

The shaded Verandah and alfresco outdoor terrace are great for summer vacation reminiscing, and dog lovers will be happy to know that Bedrock Origin is a pet-friendly restaurant and you can dine with your furkids at the outdoor terrace.

Helmed by Daniel Ong, Dan’s Steak is a relatively new Korean-influenced Steakhouse which opened at Serangoon Gardens in April 2021. It is a small and cosy space which can seat around 30 pax.

Dan’s Steaks is a steakhouse with a slight Korean twang and what makes it different from the other steakhouses in Singapore is that it offers free banchan (Korean side dishes) just like the usual Korean restaurants. Daniel Ong will be cooking and serving the steaks himself.

For those of you who follow Daniel on Instagram, Dan’s Steaks is actually not a new concept. It first started as a home-based business in May 2020 during the Circuit Breaker period.

Here are the dishes that you can look forward to at Dan’s Steaks

• Grass-fed Steaks from S$28
• Wagyu/USDA from S$58
• Other mains from S$18
• Large format steak cuts (1-1.4kg) from S$118
• 12 sides at S$8 including fries, garlic mash, kimchi and namul, male and nuts, cream spinach with a fried egg on top, Honey balsamic tomatoes
• Cocktails, fresh fruit soju, vintage wines.

There will be around 20 different types of banchan that are made in-house—including kimchi, spicy tteokbokki (Korean rice cakes), and Daniel’s mum’s speciality, braised black beans—on a rotational basis.

Dan’s Steaks served only big format cuts (think 1kg tenderloin, 1.2kg bone-in ribeye, striploin) when they first started selling steaks online, but the new Dan’s Steaks at Serangoon Gardens will also have a range of 250g – 350g grass-fed steaks, wagyu steaks, USDA Prime steaks.

For people who don’t eat beef, there are other options such as miso salmon, and Korean chicken.

Do not miss out on the fantastic side dishes. The creamy and buttery Mashed Potatoes completely stole the show, while we also loved the Cream Spinach with Fried Egg.

It’s a new year, and you’re trying to stick to your New Year resolution of eating clean. Sure, many of us are working on reducing our meat intake, but even for the most moderate of meat-eaters, there comes a time when we are overcome by an insatiable gnawing need to get our hands on a thick, juicy slab of steak. It’s one of life’s simplest pleasures, and one that many of us are unable (and unwilling) to give up.

However, dining at steakhouses can be an expensive affair, with limited portion sizes, substandard preparation, and unappetising steak cuts further compounding existing reluctance to placate said whims. Thankfully, there are still places in Singapore that serve good quality steaks without costing you an arm and a leg. You just need to know where to find them.

To alleviate that quandary, here is a list of 20 places to get affordable steaks for under S$30. Whether you’re looking for budget bulking options, or just want to luxuriate in some bargain steak binging, these places are bound to raise the steaks on a modern steakhouse experience!

BRASEIRO RESTAURANT

There’s a reason why this casual French steakhouse has been a recipient of TripAdvisor’s Certificate of Excellence in both 2018 and 2019, and is constantly rated as one of the best steakhouses locally.

Redefining what affordable and palatable steaks mean, unlike in other establishments where you have to carefully scrutinise the myriad of cuts to determine which is of most value, Braseiro keeps things simple by having a set price of S$19.90++ for all its steaks. Even if you find the standard 200g cut too slight a portion, even their size L (S$24.90++) and XL portions (S$29.90++) are still within budget!

THE CARVING BOARD GRILL

A recent trend in Singapore’s food scene has been the blurring of lines between hawker food and traditional restaurants and eateries. Born out of this convergence is the brand, The Carving Board, a grill specialist operating out of a coffeeshop under an unremarkable HDB block.

Despite the higher price point, customers who frequent the establishment do so because they appreciate the hand-smoked flavour and grain-fed cuts. For example, a 100-days grain-fed Angus ribeye will only set you back S$26 unlike the over S$50 range of full-fledge restaurants.

THE FEATHER BLADE

As per its moniker, The Feather Blade specialises in a specific undercut, the feather blade cut. Found on the shoulder blade of a cow, this cut derives its name from the nerve that runs through its centre, bisecting it like a feather. Although flat, this cut tends to offer an especially tender and sweet profile.

With The Feather Blade Steak (S$21++) being the only enduring menu item, it is the natural signature dish. Although sauces, sides and toppings are all part of the á la carte menu, the cut alone is delightfully smooth and pleasantly rich courtesy of its browned butter glaze.

Evoking the same archetypal atmosphere of a classic high-end steakhouse in New York—from their mahogany furnishings to the sounds of Sinatra playing in the background—Morton’s The Steakhouse beautifully encapsulates the classic, speakeasy-style of American fine dining.

This steakhouse juggernaut in Mandarin Oriental impresses in more ways than one, from the impeccable standards upheld by their service staff to their array of phenomenal meat and seafood offerings. Every detail—the honest selection of succulent, wet-aged USDA Prime steaks, fresh seafood, extensive and award-winning wine list etc—attributes to why we absolutely love dining here.

The signature orders here include the wet-aged Prime Ribeye Steak and the colossal 48-ounce Porterhouse but for non-meat eaters, they also serve up a solid range of fresh seafood such as Maine Lobster, Honey-Balsamic Glazed Ora King Salmon and the must-try Seared Cod with Romesco Sauce that you can opt to have off their seasonal menu.

It’s easy to feel intimidated by a high-end restaurant like Morton’s especially so in all its classy, mahogany-clad glory, but truly, there is so much more to this steakhouse institution that goes far beyond just being a destination for business meetings and special occasions. With their stellar line-up of house classics coupled with their ever-changing seasonal menu, there’s bound to be something to tickle even the most discerning of palates.

CHILLED OCEAN PLATTER

For those who want to complement the steak meal with fresh flavours of the ocean, fancy their Chilled Ocean Platter (S$98++, serves 2) or even their Baked Ocean Platter (S$93++, serves 2). Believe us when we say that Morton’s will not let you down as far as freshness and quality is concerned.

The medley on-ice features premium items such as Maine lobster, jumbo lump crabmeat, fresh oysters on the half-shell, Alaskan king crab legs and enormous shrimps.

Accompanying it is a tray of condiments of which you can enjoy these crustacean delights with. We were particularly fond of their house-made mignonette which is made using Champagne vinegar, minced shallots and horseradish.

BAKED OCEAN PLATTER

We were utterly blown away by their baked version; the grilled oysters with garlic herb butter, in particular, were our favourite.

Topped with a rich sauce comprising butter, parsley and bread crumbs and broiled until the top layer develops a gorgeous golden-coloured hue but just enough such that the oyster still retains its pristine tenderness, our palates were literally transported to flavour heaven.

LOBSTER BISQUE

The focus of Morton’s Lobster Bisque (S$38++) is on a quality base that is made using only lobsters of the finest quality.

The bulk of the work is done with time and lots of attention. Allowing the rich broth to simmer low and slow over a long period of time develops deep, well-rounded flavour and is also what gives the bisque its classic creamy and decadent profile.

CENTRE-CUT PRIME RIBEYE (16OZ)

Those of you who love a proper steak will find nothing short of sheer satisfaction here at Morton’s. With an extensive array of steak cuts from the classic porterhouse, signature New York strip to their prime ribeye and more—what you can expect is a phenomenal and memorable steak experience.

We ordered the 16oz Centre-Cut Prime Ribeye (S$118++) and were treated to one of the best medium-rare steak experiences ever. The steak itself is wet-aged for up to 30 days and seasoned simply with just salt and ground black pepper, but the real money-maker lies in the way the steak is cooked. The exterior is charred to utmost perfection, providing a nice crunch, while the inside remains pink and succulent.

Accompanying this glorious hunk of meat, you can have your choice of flavoured butter to truly amplify the flavour. There are a total of 5 unique kinds of butter to choose from but perhaps the best pairing with our glorious steak would be the Foie Gras-Cognac Butter (S$6++).

AMERICAN WAGYU FILET MIGNON

As far as wagyu is concerned, it’s all about the intense, fat marbling in the meat—which is what gives it its distinct, buttery flavour. Here at Morton’s, they use American Wagyu which has a good fat-to-lean ratio, allowing their steaks to give off a much beefier note without being overly buttery.

We had the pleasure of savouring their American Wagyu Filet Mignon ($108++) that was a notch more tender in comparison to the ribeye but still brimmed with an intense beefy quality. The thick-cut medallion of American wagyu comes topped with a flavoured poblano butter that melts beautifully over the steak.

HONEY-BALSAMIC GLAZED ORA KING SALMON

When aspiring to exceptional culinary standards, the highly-acclaimed Ora King salmon (S$72++) is the first and only choice for discerning chefs around the world.

Hailing all the way from New Zealand, what makes this particular breed of salmon so much more delicious is the high oil content present in the Ora King itself that can be seen in the striking marbled fat lines within the bright orange flesh. A fair match to the prestigious wagyu of Japan if you ask us.

SEARED COD WITH ROMESCO SAUCE

Off the restaurant’s seasonal menu, we tried the Seared Cod with Romesco Sauce (S$78++). Treated with nothing more than some light seasoning, this delicate dish of fish and vegetables truly stole the show.

The cod boasted a delicate, somewhat bouncy texture with a slightly sweet flavour to it and the romesco sauce—with its sweet and subtly tart qualities—really did well to reinforce the natural flavours of the fish.

SIDES – SHISHITO PEPPERS / ONION RINGS / PARMESAN & TRUFFLE FRIES

What is a steak meal without some hearty sides to go along with it? Here at Morton’s, their side dish offerings truly go above and beyond in terms of quality and taste. Their Onion Rings (S$24++) are a hot favourite and their Parmesan & Truffle Matchstick Fries (S$27++) are pretty darn solid as well, but special mention has to be made about their Shishito Peppers (S$38++).

For the uninitiated, sautéed or roasted shishito peppers are the absolute best thing to nibble on along with drinks, or even as a tasty starter to begin a full-on steak meal.

Nicely charred on all edges and seasoned with nothing but salt, these blistered bad boys are both sweet and flavourful, however, depending on how unlucky you are, some of them might pack some serious heat.

KEY LIME PIE

Morton’s Key Lime Pie (S$26++) is a perfect way to end a satisfying steak dinner. Light and tangy with just the right amount of sweetness, the custardy and zesty profiles of the dessert really did well to take the edge of all that rich, buttery goodness that still lingered on our tongues.
