Bedrock Origin @ Oasia Resort Sentosa - New Sunday Bottomless Brunch, The Harvest Table

Kombu tomahawk-1

Bedrock Origin at Oasia Resort Sentosa has just launched a hearty new Sunday brunch that's well worth getting out of bed for. Aptly named "The Harvest Table – Land and Sea", this bottomless brunch offers a delightful communal dining experience, served in the peaceful, resort-style setting of Sentosa.

Held every Sunday from 12pm to 3.30pm (last order at 3pm), The Harvest Table – Land and Sea brunch (4.2/5) is priced at $78++ per person and offers unlimited servings of a multi-course feast. A good number of dishes are served à la minute, where each dish is cooked to order. This ensures that the food arrives hot and fresh, reducing the food waste common in buffet-style dining. It is a nice option for family gatherings, as children aged 6 and under dine for free, while those aged 7 to 12 enjoy the full experience for $28++.

Flatbread-2
Flatbread with Roasted Garlic & Butter

Burrata salad and soup-3
Smoked Tomato Soup, Truffle Mushroom Soup, Burrata & Tomato Salad

Tiger prawn-1
Grilled Tiger Prawns

Begin your brunch experience with an enticing array of starters. Tear into warm, freshly baked Flatbread served with aromatic Roasted Garlic and Butter, alongside comforting options such as Bedrock's Smoked Tomato Soup and Truffle Mushroom Soup. Salad options include the Chargrilled Caesar Salad, Burrata with Tomato, Grilled Tiger Prawns and Jamon. I loved the creamy freshness of the burrata salad and had multiple servings!

Mac and cheese-2

Beef fried rice-2

Mashed potatoe-2
Truffle Mashed Potatoes

Complement your meal with a variety of tasty side dishes, served tableside from a roving trolley. Highlights include Bedrock's indulgent Mac 'N' Cheese, Silky Truffle Mashed Potatoes, and the flavourful Beef Fat Fried Rice. I would've happily had a few more bowls if I weren't saving stomach space for the mains.

Mushroom-1
Sauteed Mushrooms

Corn-1
Woodfire Grilled Chilli Corn

Brussel sprouts-2
Chargrilled Spicy Brussels Sprouts

Truffle fries-2
Black Truffle Fries

For lighter options, Sautéed Mushrooms, Chargrilled Spicy Brussels Sprouts, and Woodfire Grilled Chilli Corn are available. The Truffle Fries, served hot and crispy, were also great. While it's tempting to fill up on these yummy sides, be sure to save room for the meat and seafood dishes.

Kombu tomahawk-1
Kombu Cured Tomahawk

Pork rack-2

Spatchcock chicken-1
Roasted Spatchcock Chicken

The Kombu-cured Tomahawk Steak leads the main course selection, though it might be too rare for some. Other meat options include a slow-cooked Lamb Shoulder, a French Black Pork Rack, and Roasted Spatchcock Chicken, which are all decent, hearty choices. Providing a few more sauces or hot gravy to go with the meat would have made it even better!

Pan fried barramundi-4
Pan-fried Barramundi Fillet

Fish collar-2
Deep-fried Fish Collar

Clams-2
Clams with White Wine

On the seafood side, there’s Pan-fried Barramundi Fillet, Deep-fried Fish Collar, and the chef’s selection, which during my visit featured a bowl of fresh Clams in White Wine Sauce. I enjoyed all three, but the fish collar stood out the most, with its crispy skin and tender, soft flesh inside.

Crab linguine-2
Chilli Crab Linguine

There are also two pasta options - Carbonara and Chilli Crab Linguine. I tried the chilli crab linguine, but found the sauce lacking. There are also some teething issues with the service — my orders were missed a few times, and we had to gently remind the staff. Fortunately, the long brunch hours meant there was no need to rush.

Apple crumble-1
Apple Crumble

We wrapped our brunch on a sweet note with Bedrock's signature Apple Crumble, served warm and perfectly spiced, complemented by a scoop of ice cream. It's sure to be a hit with both adults and children alike.

Lemon cake-1
Lemon Cake

A cake trolley adds a charming touch, offering a selection of favourites like Chocolate, Banana, Lemon, and Carrot Cake. Unfortunately, the chocolate cake ran out early in the service, so I didn't try it. However, the lemon and carrot cake I tried was not bad.

For drinks, free-flow alcohol is available for just $28++. The offerings include Carlsberg Smooth Draught, Sapporo Premium, and classic cocktails like Mimosa and Bellini. Wine enthusiasts can enjoy Riondo Sparkling Rosé and selections from Casas del Toqui Single Estate: a Sauvignon Blanc and a Merlot.

The non-alcoholic beverage selection is priced at $10++. It offers a variety of refreshing options, such as Cranberry Juice, Pink Grapefruit Juice, Orange Juice, Coke, Coke Zero, Root Beer, Sprite, and Ginger Ale.

Banana cake-2

Overall, The Harvest Table — Land and Sea was a satisfying and relaxed weekend brunch experience. The dishes were generally well-executed, and it is best enjoyed with a group so that you can try everything on the menu. Enjoy 10% off your bill when you pay with Mastercard®, applicable to the bottomless brunch menu only, not the drinks packages.

En Yeoh's Bak Kut Teh (宴杨肉骨茶) @ VivoCity - Klang Style Bak Kut Teh with 30 Years of Expertise

EnYeohBakKutTeh-11

Klang-style Bak Kut Teh lovers can now enjoy a taste of Malaysia's beloved herbal pork bone soup right here in Singapore at En Yeoh's Bak Kut Teh (宴杨肉骨茶) at VivoCity. This new dining spot is a collaboration between EN Group and Yeoh's Bak Kut Teh, a well-established name with over 30 years of expertise crafting the perfect herbal broth.

EnYeohBakKutTeh-5

EnYeohBakKutTeh-14
Signature 4 Types Assorted Claypot Bak Kut Teh 4.2/5

For a traditional take on Klang-style Bak Kut Teh, I opted for the Signature 4 Types Assorted Claypot Bak Kut Teh ($10.90/$18.90). The rich, slow-simmered herbal broth is made with over 15 premium herbs and ingredients, striking a well-balanced and subtly fragrant profile without an overly strong medicinal finish.

The claypot comes generously packed with pork trotter, pork ribs, pork belly, Hokkaido pork collar, shiitake mushrooms, button mushrooms, tofu puffs, and fried beancurd. Each cut of pork was tender and well-infused with the broth, making every bite satisfying. The variety of textures from the pork, mushrooms, and tofu puffs added depth to the dish. I particularly liked that the broth was not too overpowering or tangy, making it enjoyable for those who prefer a more balanced, less intense herbal flavour.

EnYeohBakKutTeh-23

EnYeohBakKutTeh-25
Soumen 3.5/5

Instead of the usual steamed white rice, I decided to try the Soumen ($3.20) as an alternative carb pairing. While the silky soft noodles were smooth and pleasant to slurp, I found the portion quite small for the price. Given its light texture, it didn't quite absorb the broth as well as rice would have, making it a less satisfying pairing compared to the usual rice option.

EnYeohBakKutTeh-18
Claypot Dry Pork Belly 4.5/5

One of the standout dishes of the meal was the Claypot Dry Pork Belly ($12.90). Unlike the soupy version, this dish features thick-cut, chunky pork belly pieces coated in a sweet, savoury, and slightly spicy sauce.

The claypot also includes ladyfinger, sliced cuttlefish, dried chilli, and green chilli, which add layers of spice, umami, and fragrance. I particularly liked the addition of cuttlefish, which contributed a subtle seafood aroma and extra umami punch, making the dish even more enjoyable. The pork belly was fatty yet meaty, offering a satisfying chew that complemented the flavourful glaze.

EnYeohBakKutTeh-28

En Yeoh’s Bak Kut Teh is a solid choice for those craving authentic Klang-style Bak Kut Teh in Singapore. The herbal broth is well-executed, striking a balanced and comforting flavour profile without being overly strong or medicinal. While the Soumen may not be the best choice for pairing, the Claypot Dry Pork Belly is a must-try for its bold flavours and satisfying textures. If you're looking for a heartwarming and authentic Bak Kut Teh experience, En Yeoh’s Bak Kut Teh at VivoCity is definitely worth a visit.

KA-MON @ Resorts World Sentosa - Three Traditional Japanese Grilling Techniques Under One Roof

KaMon48

KaMonIG-7

Nestled within Resorts World Sentosa, KA-MON is the latest venture by celebrated Chef Hal Yamashita. It promises an authentic yet innovative Japanese grilling experience. What sets KA-MON apart is its integration of three traditional grilling techniques — irori, robatayaki, and warayaki — all within a single restaurant. It reminds me of Setsuri Ishinomake, which also embraces multiple grilling styles under one roof, showcasing the depth and versatility of Japanese cuisine.

KaMon5

Our meal began with an Amuse Bouche — a delightfully crisp fried fish paired with pickled vegetables in a sweet and sour sauce. The pickles' vibrant acidity perfectly balanced the fish's richness, making it a refreshing and appetising start.

KaMon15
Wagyu Beef Tartare 4.8/5

The Wagyu Beef Tartare is a reimagined take on Yukke, seasoned with soy, garlic, sesame, and gochujang. The quail egg yolk, resting atop the finely diced wagyu, added a luscious creaminess. Mixing everything together and scooping it up with the accompanying crisp papadam created a harmonious blend of sweet, savoury, and umami flavours.

KaMon16
Organic Egg & Ikura 4.5/5

One of the standout dishes was the Organic Egg & Ikura, a decadent layering of Ajitsuke Tamago, briny ikura, and luxurious Hokkaido uni. This dish offered a symphony of textures — from the silky yolk to the creamy sea urchin and the signature pop of salmon roe — all heightened by the sharp, fresh heat of wasabi.

KaMon23
Sakoshi Bay Oyster 4.2/5

Seafood took centre stage with the Sakoshi Bay Oyster, a prized delicacy from Hyogo Prefecture. Grilled over robatayaki until just 80% cooked, the oyster was then glazed with shio kombu butter and topped with a fragrant crumble of garlic, ginger, and shallots, enhancing its natural oceanic richness.

KaMonIG-29

KaMon38
Tuna Wara Tataki 4.5/5

The Tuna Wara Tataki featured Big Eye Tuna, sustainably sourced from Australia's East Coast. Unlike traditional charcoal grilling, this dish was kissed by straw fire, resulting in a gently charred exterior while preserving the buttery, raw centre. The subtle smokiness complemented the bright ponzu sauce, thinly sliced myoga, and crisp garlic chips, perfectly balancing smoke and freshness.

KaMon4

KaMon26
Irori Grilled Jumbo Tiger Prawn 4.2/5

The Irori Grilled Jumbo Tiger Prawn was a prime example of traditional grilling techniques. Skewered and slow-grilled over charcoal in the irori style, a method dating back to the Jomon period, this dish showcased the prawn's natural sweetness and succulence. A touch of Maldon sea salt and a squeeze of lemon were all that was needed to highlight its pure, briny essence.

KaMon32
Aged Breast of Duck 4.8/5

For meat lovers, the Aged Breast of Duck was a revelation. Dry-aged for at least five days, the duck was slowly grilled over robatayaki to a perfect medium-rare, resulting in crisp skin and tender flesh. It was accompanied by burdock root purée for an earthy depth, while the spicy romaine and apple salad added a touch of sweetness and crunch, echoing the balance found in Korean BBQ and Japanese yakiniku.

KaMon45
Coriander Salad 4/5

One of the most polarising dishes on the menu is the Coriander Salad — a love-it-or-hate-it experience. Tossed in a white soy vinaigrette and topped with crispy fried sakura ebi and fragrant bawang goreng, the salad delivered a bright, herbal crispness that might not be for everyone but certainly intrigued the palate.

KaMon48
Saba Donabe 4.2/5

The meal culminated in the Saba Donabe, a tableside performance where rice was cooked in a traditional claypot over grilled fish bone dashi. Depending on the daily fresh catch from Nagasaki, our version featured grilled saba, which was folded into the rice at the tableside. The result? It is a deeply comforting dish with fluffy grains and crisped edges served with miso soup for a satisfying finish.

KaMon51
Mont Blanc "Flower" 4.2/5

To end on a high note, we were served the Mont Blanc "Flower", a delicate yet indulgent dessert. The chestnut mousse, piped atop a crisp French meringue, was paired with mikan yuzu jelly, creating a beautiful contrast between nutty richness and citrusy brightness. It felt like we were enjoying two desserts in one, perfectly encapsulating French pastry finesse and Japanese flavour precision.

With its seamless integration of traditional Japanese grilling techniques, premium ingredients, and meticulous execution, KA-MON at Resorts World Sentosa offers a one-of-a-kind Japanese grill experience in Singapore. Chef Hal Yamashita's expertise is evident in each dish, which celebrates both the purity of ingredients and the artistry of grilling. Whether you're a fan of seafood, premium meats, or comforting rice dishes, KA-MON delivers an elevated dining experience that is both exciting and deeply satisfying.

Note: This is an invites tasting.

IMG_1314

For this Chinese New Year, Creative Eateries brings a touch of innovation to the festive season with a variety of celebratory menus across its restaurant brands, including a unique Japanese twist at Tajimaya Yakiniku with their Golden Feast Yakiniku Platter.

The star of the show, presented on an elegant revolving carousel surrounding the charcoal grill, was a decadent assortment of 8 premium meat cuts and 2 types of fresh seafood. The carefully curated lineup included A5 Miyazaki Striploin, A5 Miyazaki Nami Karubi Short Ribs, A5 Kagoshima Zabuton Chuck Flap, A5 Kagoshima Sasabara Flank, MS6/7 Australian Wagyu Rib Fingers, MS6/7 Australian Wagyu Tongue Negi Shio, US Kurobuta Pork Belly, US Kurobuta Pork Jowl, Mekajiki (Swordfish) and Hokkaido Hotate Scallops.

A5 Miyazaki Striploin

IMG_1324
A5 Kagoshima Zabuton Chuck Flap

The Miyazaki and Kagoshima cuts stood out with their rich, buttery flavours and melt-in-your-mouth textures, delivering an indulgent experience. However, the MS6/7 Wagyu Rib Fingers proved a little tough to chew, and I would have preferred the Wagyu Tongue to be served in thinner slices for a more enjoyable bite.

IMG_1340
Kurobuta Pork Jowl

Among the pork selections, I enjoyed the Kurobuta Pork Jowl, which had a more balanced fat-to-meat ratio than the pork belly.

IMG_1338
Mekajiki

The Mekajiki (Swordfish) was an unexpected delight, especially when grilled to form a golden crust that added a satisfying crunch to its firm, dense, and meaty texture. Its natural fattiness created a luscious mouthfeel rivalling the premium meats.

Truffle Kaisen Tartare with Tenkatsu

IMG_1320
Japanese Wagyu Sukiyaki Don

The menu also featured Zansai, a starter course showcasing Truffle Kaisen Tartare with Tenkatsu and a mini Japanese Wagyu Sukiyaki Don topped with a silky onsen egg yolk. The don's slices of meat were slightly dry despite the creamy egg yolk adding richness.

IMG_1362
Japanese Yuzu Sorbet

The meal concluded with a refreshing scoop of Japanese Yuzu Sorbet, offering a bright and citrusy finale that cleansed the palate beautifully after the indulgent feast.

Golden Feast Yakiniku Platter is from $178++ for two persons and $348++ for 4 persons. Promotion Validity: 15 January 2025 - 12 February 2025
