The Coach Restaurant @ Jewel Changi - Launches Sunday Prime Rib Experience Featuring Premium Linz Ribeye Chicago USDA

The Coach Restaurant at Jewel Changi has recently launched its Sunday Prime Rib experience, an exclusive collaboration with Butcher Box showcasing the premium Linz Ribeye Chicago USDA Prime.

Prime Rib 4.8/5

The Prime Rib is aged for 20 days with beef tallow infused with burnt corn husks, then slow-roasted over hickory wood. Carved tableside, the meat was exceptionally tender with a melt-in-your-mouth texture, complemented by an alluring smokiness that added a remarkable depth to every bite. Served alongside a rich Veal & Beef Jus, the sauce further elevated the meat, rounding out its robust flavours.

Grilled Kale

Roasted Vegetables

Each set comes with two sides. The Roasted Vegetables tantalised with their delightful char, with a creamy butter sauce that boosted the mouthfeel. While the Grilled Kale appeared understated, cooking it over open flames imparted an appealing smoky aroma.

Baked Jacket Potato

The Baked Jacket Potato was finished tableside with crème fraîche, crispy duck fat, shallots, chilli and chives. Although the sides were thoughtfully prepared, we thought slightly more generous portions would have made for a more satisfying accompaniment to the prime rib.

The NY Burger 4.8/5

We also tried one of the favourites here, The NY Burger ($16). The burger was well-constructed, featuring well-toasted buns with lightly charred edges that held up beautifully against the juicy Wagyu beef patty, cheddar, pickles, and secret sauce.

Flaming PB&J Baked Alaska 3/5

For dessert, the Flaming PB&J Baked Alaska ($18) arrived with its meringue torched tableside for a dramatic finish. Beneath the toasted meringue lay a creamy peanut butter semifreddo with a layer of jam. I appreciated that the meringue wasn’t overly thick, allowing the filling to shine. That said, I would have preferred a more generous layer of jam for added tartness, along with a more pronounced peanut butter flavour to better recreate the nostalgic PB&J combination.

Complementing the meal is a well-curated drinks list. The Waffled Up Cocktail, a cheeky blend of Grey Goose Vodka and maple, surprised us with notes reminiscent of waffles. The full-bodied Silver Ghost Cabernet Sauvignon was an ideal pairing for the prime rib.

Overall, the Sunday Prime Rib Experience offers a satisfying showcase of quality beef, complemented by well-executed sides and comforting American-inspired classics. Sunday Prime Rib is available every Sunday at $68++ per person.

Racines @ Softitel City Centre - The Ultimate Racines Buffet Brunch: Straits Edition

The Ultimate Racines Buffet Brunch returns at Racines with an exciting new chapter as the beloved weekend experience is reimagined through the rich and comforting flavours of Straits heritage cuisine. Available exclusively on Saturdays, the new Straits Edition brings together nostalgic local favourites alongside premium seafood, live carving stations and indulgent desserts, delivering a brunch experience that beautifully blends tradition with contemporary refinement.

The feast begins with an impressive selection of fresh Seafood on Ice, featuring freshly shucked seasonal oysters, poached tiger prawns, mussels and white clams. Seafood lovers can also enjoy fresh salmon sashimi alongside an assortment of sushi and maki, making it an excellent start to the leisurely brunch.

One of the interactive highlights is the D.I.Y. Kueh Pie Tee Station, where diners can customise their own bite-sized treats. Fill the crisp pastry shells with braised turnips, prawns and chopped eggs before topping them with crushed peanuts, crispy shallots, coriander, chilli sauce and sweet sauce for a delicious combination of textures and flavours.

A nostalgic touch comes in the form of a traditional local breakfast favourite. Freshly toasted Kaya and Butter Toast are served alongside perfectly cooked soft-boiled eggs, recreating one of Singapore’s most iconic breakfast combinations that never fails to satisfy.

The carving station is another must-visit, showcasing beautifully Roasted Suckling Pig and Crispy Pork Belly. Both were exceptionally well executed, with crisp crackling giving way to tender, juicy meat, making them easily among our favourite dishes from the brunch spread.

For those craving comforting local noodles, the D.I.Y. Noodle Station allows diners to customise their own bowls of Singapore Laksa or Lor Mee. With a selection of toppings and freshly prepared broths, it’s a satisfying station that caters to different flavour preferences.

The Straits favourites continue to impress with an array of hearty local classics. Highlights include the Singapore Chilli Prawns served with fried mantou, Dang Gui Herbal Roasted Duck and Wok-fried Black Pepper Prawns, each delivering bold and familiar flavours. The Wok-braised Seafood Hokkien Mee is equally enjoyable, packed with seafood and infused with rich umami notes that make it difficult to stop at just one serving.

Be sure to leave room for dessert, as more than ten sweet creations await to round off the brunch. Highlights include the fragrant Cempedak Crème Brûlée, nostalgic Ondeh-Ondeh Cake, Air Bandung Panna Cotta and an assortment of colourful Nyonya Kuehs. The dessert selection beautifully bridges French pastry techniques with familiar local flavours, making for a memorable finale.

Another nostalgic treat not to be missed is the Local Ice Cream Sandwich Station, where creamy ice cream is tucked between slices of soft rainbow bread. I opted for the Raspberry Ripple flavour, and it instantly brought back childhood memories, making it one of my favourite desserts of the afternoon.

For a fun finishing touch, head over to the Teh Tarik Station where diners can try their hand at pulling their own frothy cup of Singapore’s favourite milk tea, adding an interactive element to the overall brunch experience.

The Ultimate Racines Buffet Brunch: Straits Edition is available every Saturday from 12:30pm to 3:00pm, from 6 June to 31 October 2026.
