Niku Niku Oh!! Kome @ Resort World Sentosa - Japanese Wagyu Hamburg Steak Grilled Before Your Eyes

NikuNikuExterior-3

NikuNikuExterior-8

Niku Niku Oh!! Kome, a concept by Japan's top listed F&B company Monogatari Corporation, opened its doors at Weave, Resorts World Sentosa, in August 2025. With over 40 outlets across China, Hong Kong, Jakarta and Manila, the Singapore outpost marks a partnership between Monogatari Corporation and homegrown brand Putien.

NikuNikuRWS6

At Niku Niku Oh!! Kome, diners are treated to the theatrical experience of live grilling, where Japanese aged wagyu beef hamburg steaks are cooked right in front of your eyes at the counter. Each patty is freshly ground and hand-pounded daily at the outlet, ensuring maximum flavour and a satisfying texture. To personalise the experience, diners can choose from three signature sauces, five condiments, and even optional indulgent toppings such as melted cheddar or a raw egg yolk. Every set also comes with free-flow rice, soup and broccoli.

Original Hamburg Steak 4.5/5

We started with the Original Hamburg Steak. The beef was meaty, juicy, and full of flavour. Adding an egg gave the dish an extra layer of creaminess that elevated the whole enjoyment. While the spotlight is on the hamburg, the unspoken hero here is the rice – soft, fluffy and polished in-house from husked grains for optimal freshness. The restaurant uses a special blend of Japanese Niji no Kirameki rice and Vietnamese jasmine rice, resulting in an aromatic and delicate complement to the steak.

Cheese Hamburg Steak 4.5/5

Next up was the Cheese Hamburg Steak, where the patty was smothered in melted cheddar and freshly grated Grana Padano. The richness of the cheese deepened the flavours of the beef, reminding me of a decadent cheeseburger, but with the juiciness of a premium wagyu patty. Definitely one of my favourites.

NikuNikuRWS27
Avocado Hamburg Steak 4.2/5

The Avocado Hamburg Steak came topped with avocado slices, tartar, and teriyaki sauces. While unique, this combination did not quite hit the mark for me, as the flavours seemed to compete rather than complement the beef. It was my least favourite of the three.

NikuNikuExterior-12

Prices at Niku Niku Oh!! Kome are surprisingly reasonable. A basic set with two original hamburg steaks starts at $16.80, while the most expensive set at $22.80 offers all three flavours. Each set is generous, inclusive of one pasteurised egg, along with unlimited servings of soup, rice, and broccoli – making it a value-for-money experience, especially given the premium quality of the wagyu beef.

Note: This is an invited tasting.

Chatterbox Cafe @ Resorts World Sentosa - Chatterbox Opens Cafe Concept at Weave RWS with Signature Chicken Rice and Local Favourites

ChatterboxCafe14

Chatterbox at Hilton Orchard Singapore is well known for its "most expensive chicken rice in Singapore". Now, it has expanded with a new concept, Chatterbox Cafe, at the new Weave Mall in Resorts World Sentosa, offering its signature Mandarin Chicken Rice along with a range of local delicacies, at a slightly more affordable price point, around $2 to $3 cheaper than its flagship location.

ChatterboxCafe3
Grilled Satay 4/5

We kick-started the meal with the Grilled Satay ($15), available in both beef and chicken options. Grilled over binchotan, the skewers come with onions, cucumber, ketupat and a sweet-savoury peanut sauce. While the meat was well-marinated and tender, I would have preferred a deeper char for added smokiness. The highlight is undeniably the peanut sauce, which is nutty with a subtle tang from the addition of pineapple puree.

ChatterboxCafe10
Sweet and Sour Kurobuta Pork 4.2/5

The Sweet and Sour Kurobuta Pork ($22) is a classic redefined. Premium pork is lightly battered, deep-fried, then wok-tossed in a bright, balanced sauce. I appreciated how the glaze didn’t lean overly sweet or sour, allowing the flavour of the pork to shine through without being masked by heavy batter.

ChatterboxCafe7
Mandarin Chicken Rice 4.5/5

The star, of course, is the Mandarin Chicken Rice. While still premium-priced ($40 for half chicken, or $23 for an individual set), it remains one of the best-tasting plates of chicken rice you can find in Singapore. The rice is aromatic with chicken oil and pandan fragrance, while the poached chicken is juicy and succulent. The accompanying chilli sauce is fiery, zesty and ticks all the right boxes. It's a dish that justifies its reputation, even if the price may still divide opinions.

ChatterboxCafe12
Chilli Crab

Another iconic local favourite is the Chilli Crab ($168 per portion), served with eight golden fried mantous for mopping up the luscious sauce. The portion is generous, best shared between two to three diners.

ChatterboxCafe5
Stir Fried Prawn with Palm Sauce

The Stir Fried Prawn with Palm Sauce ($26) features large prawns glazed with caramelised palm sugar, delivering a bold, sweet-savoury depth with wok hei aroma.

ChatterboxCafe1
Beef Hor Fun

The Beef Hor Fun is a comforting rendition, where velvety smooth rice noodles are infused with wok hei and paired with tender beef slices. Everything is brought together in a luscious black bean gravy that carries both smokiness and umami.

ChatterboxCafe16
Sweet Platter 4/5

We ended on a sweet note with the Sweet Platter ($13), an assortment of Nyonya kuehs made fresh daily with recipes passed down through generations. These colourful treats not only satisfy the sweet tooth but also celebrate the rich culinary heritage of Singapore.

Overall, Chatterbox Cafe brings its signature Mandarin Chicken Rice and a curated selection of local favourites to Resorts World Sentosa at a more approachable price point. While still positioned as a premium offering compared to hawker fare, the quality of ingredients and execution make it a worthwhile option for those seeking elevated Singapore classics in a comfortable setting.

Note: This is an invited tasting.

Homm Dessert @ Resorts World Sentosa - Opens Second Outlet at Weave RWS with Exclusive DIshes

HommExterior-2

HommExterior-3

Melbourne-born Thai dessert café Homm Dessert has expanded beyond its first outlet at Raffles City, now opening its second branch at the new Weave Mall in Resorts World Sentosa. Known for their creative takes on Thai-inspired sweets, the RWS outlet introduces not only its signature bingsu and drinks but also a range of exclusive savoury and sweet offerings.

HommRWS13
Cheese Top Thai Milk Tea, Cheese Top Taro Milk Tea 4.2/5

We started with the Cheese Top Thai Milk Tea ($6.80) and Cheese Top Taro Milk Tea ($7.80). Refreshing and not overly sweet, both drinks hit the spot on a hot day. The flavours were distinct and natural, without the artificial aftertaste sometimes found in flavoured teas.

HommRWS1
Mango Soba Salad 4/5

One of the savoury exclusives at the RWS branch is the Mango Soba Salad ($16.80). The vibrant combination of soba, ripe mango, soft-boiled egg, avocado, chilli, coriander, and red onion makes this a light yet satisfying option. Tossed in a spicy dressing of fish sauce, chilli and lime juice, it delivered a punchy, zesty kick that tied everything together.

HommRWS14

HommRWS19
Thai Chilli Crab Linguine 4/5

Another exclusive is the Thai Chilli Crab Linguine ($22.80). The pasta is generously coated in a robust Thai chilli crab sauce made with lemongrass, shallots, garlic, candlenut and bird's eye chilli. While flavour-packed and fragrant, it leaned more towards sweet than spicy. The two crispy soft-shell crabs served alongside added extra indulgence and texture to the dish.


HommRWS23
Mount Chendol 4/5

For desserts, the RWS-exclusive Mount Chendol ($18.80) is their creative spin on the beloved local treat. A fluffy coconut “snowflake ice” base is layered with jackfruit, pandan jelly, semi-smashed red beans, creamy corn, grass jelly and drizzles of gula melaka. It’s a fun, Thai-inspired take on chendol, or as it’s called there, “lod chong.”

HommRWS29

HommRWS33
Thai Milk Tea Avalanche Bingsu 4.5/5

Of course, no visit to Homm is complete without their signature Thai Milk Tea Avalanche Bingsu ($19.80). Using a blend of fragrant Thai tea leaves, the flavours are earthy yet smooth, never too tannic. The “avalanche” reveal is a playful touch, unveiling whipped cream cheese on Thai tea snowflake ice, gelato, and buttery sable crumbles. Served with Thai tea sauce, grass jelly, and condensed milk on the side, this is an indulgent dessert perfect for sharing.

Homm Dessert continues to impress with its creative interpretations of Thai classics. With the addition of exclusive savoury dishes at the new RWS outlet, it makes for a fun spot not just for desserts but also for a light meal.

Note: This is an invited tasting.

All Hail the King Durian Fest @ Resorts World Sentosa - Unlimited Premium Duran Feast

IMG_5763

Durian Fest is back at Resorts World Sentosa to celebrate the season of the King of Fruits. For six evenings this July, the Bay Restaurant, located within the region’s only marine life-integrated waterpark, will be transformed into a tropical haven for All Hail the King Durian Fest. Indulge and feast on a prized selection of durian varieties alongside other tropical fruits.

IMG_5740

The admission provides you with a free flow of premium durians such as Mao Shan Wang, Red Prawn, D24 and many other varieties of durians. There are also tropical fruits such as rambutan and mangosteen, a selection of gourmet offerings from Dian Xiao Er, as well as cooling beverages.

IMG_5759

IMG_5720

On the evening of my visit, the durian varieties include Black Thorn! And of course, there is Mao Shan Wang, Red Prawn, Jin Feng, D24 and Butter King.

IMG_5710

The durians are opened on the spot, and you get to pick and choose the entire durian to be enjoyed back at your table.

IMG_5692

The tropical fruits selection featured rambutan, mangosteen, longans, as well as soursop.

IMG_5703

The Dian Xiao Er offerings were all right. I reckon the highlight was the Herbal Duck, which, unfortunately, is limited to 2 slices per person per serving. However, since it is a buffet style, you can still go back for it as many times as you wish.

IMG_5727

There is Chendol as well, which perhaps one can create their own durian chendol for some added fun.

IMG_5732

Ticket to All Hail the King Durian Fest is priced at S$268 per admission. Tickets can now be purchased at https://www.rwsentosa.com/en/events/all-hail-the-king-durian-fest. Each purchase entitles you to a free duck plushie too!

IMG_5751

Durian lovers are advised to secure tickets early due to limited availability and to arrive early for the 90-minute event to enjoy the complete offerings on their selected date(s).

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

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

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

Fish collar-2

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.

Carrot Cake

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
Banana Cake

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.
