SUSHISAMBA Singapore @ Capital Tower - 3-Course Alegria Dinner from Monday to Wednesday

SUSHISAMBA Singapore at Capital Tower offers an Alegria Dinner menu from Monday to Wednesday, a vibrant three-course experience from $78 per person, celebrating Japanese, Brazilian, and Peruvian cuisines.

Bahia Roll 3/5

For starters, we had the Bahia Roll (+$10), a maki sushi roll with tuna, shrimp tempura, jumbo crab, avocado, and spicy aji panca. The roll offered a delicate, creamy mouthfeel, while the shrimp tempura provided a satisfying crunch and textural contrast.

Beef Tenderloin Anticucho 3/5

Given SUSHISAMBA's reputation for robata grill specialities, we also tried the Beef Tenderloin Anticucho (+$10). The meat was expertly grilled, tender and blushing pink, though the flavour mostly came from the charred exterior and accompanying sauce rather than the cut itself.

Australian Grassfed Striploin 4.5/5

For mains, the Australian Grassfed Striploin (+$18) delivered unexpectedly rich, beefy notes for such a lean cut. It was evenly cooked with a consistent char on the exterior, enhancing the steak's natural flavour.

Chilean Sea Bass 5/5

I also enjoyed the Chilean Sea Bass (+$18), with firm, buttery flesh complemented by a umami white miso. The vibrant hajikami garnish added a refreshing contrast, cutting through the richness of the fish.

Passionfruit 3.5/5

Pistachio Ice Cream 4/5

Desserts were straightforward yet satisfying, featuring a citrusy, tart Passion Fruit (+$5) and a velvety Pistachio Ice Cream.

Alegria Dinner (Mon-Wed from 6pm)
3-Courses | $78 per pax
2-Hour Free Flow | $80++ per pax (Add-On)

Mr Triple Hotpots (三锅先生) @ Jalan Sultan - A Taste of Northern China with Traditional Copper Pot & Lamb Spine Hotpot

Located along the bustling stretch of Jalan Sultan, Mr Triple Hotpots (三锅先生) offers a robust selection of Northern Chinese specialities, including a variety of hotpot styles and Jinzhou-style BBQ. From the traditional Beijing copper pot to the hearty lamb spine hotpot, the concept here goes beyond the usual hotpot experience commonly found in Singapore.

Classic Beijing Copper Pot 4/5

We began our meal with the Classic Beijing Copper Pot, a style deeply rooted in Northern Chinese dining culture. Unlike the typical flavourful broths we are accustomed to, the pot uses plain water in a charcoal-fired copper chimney vessel. The design ensures a consistent, high heat, ideal for flash-cooking thinly sliced meats. This minimalist approach allows the natural flavours of the ingredients to shine, with the dipping sauces playing a crucial role in elevating each bite.

To complement the pots, we ordered a selection of sliced beef, lamb, and pork, along with bamboo shoots. Each ingredient cooks quickly in the boiling water, retaining its inherent freshness and texture. One particularly interesting accompaniment was the pickled garlic, which was new to me. Its tangy and slightly pungent profile works surprisingly well as a palate cleanser, refreshing the taste buds between bites and preparing you for the next round of indulgence.

Lamb Spine Pot 4.2/5

In addition to the copper pot, we also tried the Lamb Spine Pot (羊蝎子), a dish that may sound intimidating at first. The direct translation can be misleading, but it actually refers to the lamb spine, named for its resemblance to a scorpion’s tail. This was my first encounter with the dish, and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The pot is richly flavoured with spices, and the lamb spine is chopped into chunky pieces, similar to oxtail. The meat is tender and gelatinous, while the radish in the pot soaks up the deeply savoury broth beautifully. Diners can also add additional raw ingredients into the pot, transforming it into a more familiar hotpot experience.

Lamb Skewer 4.2/5

To kickstart the meal while waiting for the hotpot to come to a boil, we had the Lamb Skewers. Grilled to a slight char, the skewers were tender, juicy, and packed with aromatic spices, delivering a fragrant, satisfying bite. It is a great addition to the meal, especially for those looking for something cooked and ready to enjoy immediately.

Overall, Mr Triple Hotpots offers a refreshing take on hotpot dining by showcasing traditional Northern Chinese styles that are less commonly seen locally. Whether it is the simplicity of the Beijing copper pot or the bold flavours of the lamb spine hotpot, the experience here is both unique and comforting — perfect for those looking to explore something different beyond the usual hotpot options in Singapore.
