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

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

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.

Maison Boulud @ Marina Bay Sands - New Executive Set Lunch Featuring Classic and Rustic French Dishes

IMG_3650

Maison Boulud at Marina Bay Sands has recently refreshed its menu to pay greater homage to Chef Daniel Boulud's culinary philosophy. Diners can now experience more classic and rustic French dishes, prepared with seasonal ingredients. Alongside this, a new Executive Set Lunch Menu changes every few weeks.

IMG_3630
Beets & Burrata 4.5/5

We started with two excellent appetisers — Beets & Burrata and Pâté en Croûte. The Beets & Burrata combined a milky, pillowy burrata with earthy, tart beets, sprinkled with toasted hazelnuts that added a delightful textural crunch and nutty flavour. The pairing with haricots verts was particularly interesting, echoing the freshness of the dish with crisp, snappy textures.

IMG_3638
Pâté en Croûte 4.5/5

The Pâté en Croûte was delectable, featuring a blend of Iberico pork, foie gras Armagnac, apricot, and pistachio. I especially enjoyed the defined chunk of foie gras Armagnac embedded within the pâté — it boosted the mouthfeel with a creamy richness and released alluring notes of Armagnac in every bite, complemented by occasional crunches of pistachio and sweet apricot bites.

IMG_3661
Sea Trout 4.2/5

For mains, the Sea Trout was simple but delightful just as much. Served with finely shredded Brussels sprouts, the fish was fatty, tender, and had a beautifully seared, crispy skin. A savoury lemon chicken jus further elevated its naturally robust flavour.

IMG_3649
Coq Au Vin 4.2/5

The Coq Au Vin featured red wine-braised free-range chicken, served with chunky bacon, mushrooms, and gnocchi. The chicken had been braised overnight in a rich port and red wine concoction, resulting in a bold, intensely flavoured, beautiful reduction. A slight caramelisation on the chicken added another layer of complexity, while the mushrooms had thoroughly absorbed the richness of the sauce. The chunky bacon contributed smoky and savoury notes that rounded out the dish.

IMG_3686
Duo of Artisanal Cheeses

IMG_3691
Citron Pistache 4.5/5

For dessert, we selected the Duo of Artisanal Cheeses and Citron Pistache. I appreciated the inclusion of a cheese course — the cheeses were served with pickles, a raisin spread, and raisin toasts. Citron Pistache was perhaps the more exciting choice: a dome spiked with nutty Sicilian pistachio Chantilly and crunchy meringue, encasing a tangy lemon gel and ricotta gelato.

IMG_3698
Madeleines

As a thoughtful gesture from the team, we were also treated to a serving of truly delicious petite Madeleines at the end of the meal — possibly the best I've had thus far. Warm and fluffy, each bite felt like a smile to the belly, ending the dining experience on a wonderfully comforting note

American Mass Hall @ Lumiere - Classic Amercian Food Layered with Vibrant Asian Nuances

IMG_3268

American Mass Hall at Lumiere revives classic American comfort food while introducing creative dishes layered with vibrant Asian nuances. Chef Heman Tan oversees the menu, which spans a broad spectrum — from sides and soups to salads, appetisers, mains, and desserts. We began our meal with a selection of appetisers, soups, and a salad.

IMG_3185
Mass Hall’s Oyster Bay 4/5

IMG_3193
French Onion Soup 4/5

IMG_3184
Hush Puppy Corn Ball 4/5

Mass Hall's Oyster Bay ($5/pc) showcased plump Japanese oysters topped with orange granita, adding a burst of citrus acidity that brightened the brininess of the oyster. Though made with vegetable stock, the French Onion Soup ($9) impressed with its well-balanced sweetness and savoury depth — a surprising feat given the absence of beef stock. The Hush Puppy Corn Ball ($8) was a delight with its crisp exterior and sweet corn-studded interior. A dollop of spicy mayo added a satisfying sweet-spicy kick and boosted its overall mouthfeel.

IMG_3217
Chilli Crab Mac & Cheese 2/5

Moving to the heavier plates, the Chilli Crab Mac & Cheese ($18) came loaded with rich, gooey cheese and a unique chilli crab topping. While the spicy crab element helped to cut through some of the richness, the dish leaned too sweet for my liking, and the macaroni was somewhat overwhelmed by the cheese.

IMG_3231
Burrata Lava Cheesy Wonderland Lovers 2/5

The same sentiment applied to the Burrata Lava Cheesy Wonderland Lovers ($24), for which I found the execution a little one-dimensional. To balance out the richness, I would have preferred a blend of cheeses with varying sharpness and complexity. The dough, too, could have been more aerated for that chewy bite.

IMG_3225
Octopus 4.5/5

The Octopus ($22), served with mashed potato, sous vide egg, and hollandaise sauce, was an interesting and indulgent dish. Digging into the combination of buttery mash, runny egg, and rich hollandaise felt luxurious — creamy, velvety, and deeply satisfying. What elevated the dish was the charred edges of the sous vide octopus, which added a gentle smokiness that helped balance the overall richness.

IMG_3207
Burrata Salad 2.5/5

For something lighter, we tried the Burrata Salad ($19), which paired burrata with watermelon, tomato, and Parma ham. The combination was refreshing and offered a nice interplay of sweet, juicy, and savoury elements. Unfortunately, the burrata itself was a letdown — too firm, lacking the pillowy softness and milky freshness that a good burrata should deliver.

IMG_3247
“Bone Drop” BBQ Iberico Prime Ribs 4.2/5

IMG_3255
120-day Grain Fed Angus Beef Short Ribs 3.8/5

For mains, we feasted on the "Bone Drop" BBQ Iberico Prime Ribs ($39), served with fresh coleslaw and potato wedges. True to its name, the meat was tender, succulent, and finger-licking good, coated in a sticky, smoky BBQ glaze that hit all the right notes. The 120-day Grain Fed Angus Beef Short Ribs ($30), smoked tableside, could have been more tender but made up for it with a satisfyingly rich, beefy flavour.

IMG_3268(1)
Fish & Chips 3.5/5

IMG_3284
Cajun Blackened Barramundi Fillet 3.8/5

From the sea, the classic Fish & Chips ($18) uses Barramundi fillet instead of the usual dory, which gave the dish a more flavourful bite. The thin and airy crust was especially enjoyable. The Cajun Blackened Barramundi Fillet ($25) was well-executed with just the right amount of char. The smoky flavour from the blackening added depth to the naturally sweet and moist fish.

IMG_3272
Spaghetti Prawn Aglio Olio 4/5

The Spaghetti Prawn Aglio Olio ($22) was a true crowd-pleaser. Tossed in a specially concocted Aglio Olio chilli, the al dente spaghetti was loaded with umami and a spicy kick. Slices of mushroom soaked up the sauce beautifully, adding layers of spicy, savoury richness to each bite.

IMG_3297
Desserts

Desserts were varied and playful. My personal favourite was the Deconstructed Apple Crumble ($9), which delighted with chunks of cinnamon-spiced apples and buttery crumble bits that offered a satisfying crunch. Though eggless, the Tiramisu ($9) was impressive — light mascarpone cream paired with bittersweet, generously boozy ladyfingers made for a decadent treat. As for the Crème Brûlée Cempedak ($10), the dessert itself was delectable, perfumed with fragrant cempedak and topped with a nicely caramelised crust. However, while delicious, the scoop of ice cream atop added a touch too much sweetness and softened the brûlée's crisp surface more than I'd like.

AMO @ Hong Kong Street - A Feast of Italian Delights in an All New Revamped Menu

AmoJan25-21

Amò, named after the affectionate Italian term for "love," invites diners to rediscover the heart of Italian dining with its refreshed menu. The new offerings promise an unforgettable experience filled with flavour, warmth, and the true Italian spirit.

AmoJan25-2
Artisanal Burrata Cheese with Datterini Tomatoes and Basil Pesto 4.2/5

We began our meal with the Artisanal Burrata Cheese with Datterini Tomatoes and Basil Pesto ($28). The soft, creamy burrata was complemented by the tomatoes' natural sweetness, while the basil pesto added an aromatic lift, bringing the dish together beautifully.

AmoJan25-6
Roman Artichoke Fries with Paprika and Black Truffle Crema 4.2/5

For a crispy, addictive snack, the Roman Artichoke Fries with Paprika and Black Truffle Crema ($18) was a standout. Coated in a light batter, the artichokes had a crispy exterior and fluffy interior, reminiscent of potato wedges but with a richer, earthier flavour.

AmoJan25-9
Wagyu Beef Carpaccio with Rucola, Parmigiano and Truffle Relish 4.2/5

The Wagyu Beef Carpaccio with Rucola, Parmigiano, and Truffle Relish ($26) delivered a melt-in-the-mouth experience. The peppery rucola, savoury Parmigiano, and fragrant truffle relish elevated the silky, tender beef, creating a vibrant and well-balanced dish.

AmoJan25-14
Sourdough Bruschetta with Pizzutelli Tomatoes and Basil Pesto 4/5

Another delightful bite was the Sourdough Bruschetta with Pizzutelli Tomatoes and Basil Pesto ($20). The toasted sourdough provided the perfect base for the sweet Pizzutelli tomatoes and herbaceous basil pesto, offering a satisfying crunch with every bite.

AmoJan25-17
Homemade Spaghetti Chitarra with Seafood and Pomodoro 4.5/5

AmoJan25-33
Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe with Pecorino Cheese and Black Pepper 4.2/5

For the pasta course, we tried the Homemade Spaghetti Chitarra with Seafood and Pomodoro ($35) and the Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe with Pecorino Cheese and Black Pepper ($26). The Spaghetti Chitarra stood out with its sweet and tangy tomato-based sauce, perfectly paired with fresh seafood. Meanwhile, the Cacio e Pepe, a creamy and cheese-laden delight, catered to those who enjoy rich, indulgent flavours. However, it felt slightly plain without additional ingredients to enhance the dish.

AmoJan25-38
Quattro Formaggi 4/5

The Quattro Formaggi ($28) was a must-try for cheese lovers. A decadent combination of Smoked Scamorza, Taleggio, Buffalo Mozzarella, and Provolone created a rich, umami-packed pizza with layers of distinct flavours melding together beautifully.

AmoJan25-23
Grilled Wagyu Beef Hanging Tender Tagliata with Truffle Mash 4.2/5

The Grilled Wagyu Beef Hanging Tender Tagliata with Truffle Mash ($42) was grilled to perfection. It boasted a gorgeous charred exterior while remaining tender and full-bodied inside. The luxurious truffle mash added a smooth and creamy complement to the dish.

AmoJan25-26
Grilled Iberico Pork Secreto with Sweet Onion Figgione 4.2/5

Another highlight was the Grilled Iberico Pork Secreto with Sweet Onion Figgione ($36). The succulent, well-marbled pork paired wonderfully with the sweet onion figgione, enhancing the meat's natural flavours with a delightful sweetness.

AmoJan25-44
Roasted Seabass with Artichokes, Capers and Confit Tomatoes 4.5/5

The Roasted Seabass with Artichokes, Capers, and Confit Tomatoes ($42) was a beautifully executed dish for seafood lovers. The crispy skin, flaky flesh, and acidity from the confit tomatoes created a balanced and satisfying bite.

AmoJan25-50
Panna Cotta with Blood Orange Caramel 4.2/5

To round off the meal, we indulged in the Panna Cotta with Blood Orange Caramel ($15). The wobbly, creamy panna cotta was perfectly matched with the rich blood orange caramel, delivering a satisfying balance of sweetness and acidity.

AmoJan25-53
Amo Tiramisu 4.2/5

The Amò Tiramisu ($18) stayed true to tradition, offering a well-executed rendition of this classic Italian dessert. Each bite was light yet flavourful, ticking all the boxes for a great tiramisu.

AmoJan25-60
Pistachio & White Chocolate Lave Cake with Amaretto Cream 3.8/5

The Pistachio & White Chocolate Lava Cake with Amaretto Cream ($16) was a luxurious treat. The nutty aroma of pistachio combined with the sweetness of white chocolate created a delightful harmony, while the Amaretto cream added a nutty, boozy finish to elevate the dish further.

Amò's revamped menu showcases a strong dedication to authentic Italian flavours with a modern touch. From the flavorful antipasti to the indulgent desserts, each dish reflects the warmth and passion of Italian dining. Whether you're a fan of rich cheeses, premium meats, or fresh seafood, there's something on the menu to satisfy every craving.
