Moutarde @ Resorts World Sentosa - Live Carvery, Wood-Fired Roasts & French Bistro Classics

Moutarde by Paul Pairet, located at WEAVE, Resorts World Sentosa, marks the much-anticipated arrival of the much-acclaimed French chef, opened in November 2025. Chef Pairet is best known for his celebrated restaurants, including Ultraviolet, Mr & Mrs Bund, Polux, and Nonos & Comestibles. In Singapore, Moutarde is positioned as a relaxed yet refined bistro, offering diners an approachable way to experience the chef's signature flair. It is a place where quality ingredients meet easygoing charm, making it ideal for casual get-togethers, weekday dinners, or long weekend lunches.

Moutarde brings an easy, unpretentious French charm with warm lighting, clinking glasses, and tables meant for gathering. Inspired by the convivial spirit of modern Parisian bistros, the restaurant celebrates generous flavours and simple pleasures, where whole cuts, comforting sides, and classic French favourites come together in a relaxed, lively setting. Guests are encouraged to linger a little longer, share generously, and savour simple pleasures done exceptionally well. It is French dining at its most relaxed and heartfelt, where the mood is lively, the plates comforting, and the experience unmistakably Pairet.

We began our meal with warm bread accompanied by butter infused with soy sauce. It had an interesting flavour profile that is buttery, creamy, and savoury. I found it somewhat reminiscent of mentaiko.

Tarama - Za'atar 4.2/5

Tarama - Za'atar ($14) is a smooth, briny emulsion made from smoked cod fish roe blended with a Middle Eastern spice mix, served with focaccia toast. The spread delivers a creamy, smoky, and salty base from the roe, balanced by the earthy and citrusy notes of za'atar, with a gentle lift from sumac. It is best enjoyed generously spread over warm focaccia.

La Salade Parisienne 4.2/5

The La Salade Parisienne is a beautiful composition, bursting with vibrant colours from butter lettuce, white ham, eggs, potatoes, mushrooms, and tomatoes. Visually appetising, the dish comes together in a harmonious play of flavours and textures, offering both freshness and comforting familiarity.

Smoked Salmon Essential 4.2/5

Smoked Salmon Essential ($20) features salmon smoked in-house using aromatic jasmine tea, served alongside lightly toasted sourdough. I particularly enjoyed eating it bruschetta-style, spreading the soy lemon cream onto the toast before layering it with slices of the delicately smoked salmon.

Cheese Soufflé 4.2/5

The Cheese Soufflé ($20) is a Gruyère-based soufflé made with extra-soft cheese, making it a haven for cheese lovers. A distinctive feature is that the servers inject a rich cheese emulsion directly into the centre of the soufflé after it is served, ensuring a molten, flavourful core. Due to its delicate nature, it typically requires 15 to 20 minutes of preparation time. A small side salad accompanies the dish, helping to cut through the richness.

Undeniably, the centrepiece and beating heart of Moutarde's dining experience is its live carvery station, a mouth-watering and captivating spectacle where whole wood-fired roasted cuts are sliced with precision and flair. Drawing from a formative early-1990s London memory of the classic British carving trolley, Chef Paul composes his own unique version of this quintessential dining concept, debuting it here in Singapore.

Wood-Oven Roasted Prime Rib 4.5/5

The highlight has to be the Wood-Oven Roasted Prime Rib, Australian Angus Signature Black, served with au jus and lemon cream. The meat was fatty, tender, and juicy, slow-cooked as a whole large cut in a wood-fired oven, resulting in a beautifully pink and tender, marbled hunk of beef. It is paired with a selection of mustards. As the carvery items rotate daily, the prime rib is subject to availability and may not be offered every day.

Singapore Pepper Short Ribs 4.5/5

Another standout from the carvery is the Singapore Pepper Short Ribs ($38 for 180g). The ribs are coated in a fragrant pepper blend and slow-cooked until tender, developing caramelised edges and a subtle peppery lift reminiscent of char siew. The smoky exterior gives way to a juicy, melt-in-the-mouth interior, finished with a glossy black pepper sauce that carries hints of sweetness, akin to kicap manis. This dish was originally introduced by Chef de Cuisine Glen Tay at Ultraviolet before being brought to Moutarde.

Scallop Truffle New Meuniere 4.2/5

The Scallop Truffle New Meunière features plump Hokkaido scallops gently pan-seared until golden, retaining a tender, translucent centre that highlights their natural sweetness. They are paired with silky mashed potatoes, providing a smooth, buttery base. Finished with a truffle-infused modern meunière, the sauce balances nutty, browned-butter notes with subtle citrus brightness. Luxurious yet restrained, the dish allows the pristine quality of the scallops to remain the star.

Mushroom Garlic 4.5/5

To complement the mains and roasted meats, we ordered several side dishes. One of my favourites was the Mushroom Garlic ($10), a comforting mixed mushroom fricassée gently sautéed to preserve its natural earthiness and finished with fragrant garlic. Cooked slowly to release their juices, the mushrooms form a light, velvety sauce that coats each bite without overpowering. Rich yet restrained, with deep umami notes and a smooth, creamy finish.

French Fries Allumettes 4.2/5

The French Fries Allumettes ($8) are hand-cut, extra-thin fries fried until golden and crisp. Delicate yet crunchy on the outside with a light, fluffy interior, these slim fries deliver a clean potato flavour. Simple, but very addictive.

Charred Asparagus Skewer 4/5

Fresh Green Asparagus is threaded onto skewers and konro-grilled over intense heat, creating a lightly charred exterior while keeping the stalks tender and juicy. The grilling imparts a subtle smokiness that enhances the asparagus's natural sweetness, resulting in a dish that is simple, aromatic, and deeply savoury.

Charred Leeks Essential 3.8/5

Whole Leeks are gently charred until smoky and tender, revealing their natural sweetness beneath the caramelised exterior. Finished with a vibrant sauce ravigote for freshness and acidity, and a drizzle of hazelnut oil for warm, nutty depth, this minimalist dish highlights purity, balance, and technique.

 

Mango - Earl Granite 4/5

Mango - Earl Granite ($14) is a refreshing earl grey granita delicately perfumed with bergamot, served alongside ripe mango. Finished with tangy passion fruit syrup and fresh raspberries, the dessert delivers a bright interplay of citrus, floral tea notes, and tropical sweetness.

The Real French Toast 4.2/5

The Real French Toast ($14) features soft, fluffy brioche on the inside, with a golden, crisp exterior, paired with smooth ice cream. The contrast of hot and cold creates a delightful interplay of flavours and textures. This is certainly not your average brunch fare, a thick slice of brioche that remains pillowy inside while perfectly caramelised outside.

Raspberry Chantilly 4/5

To round off the meal, we had the Raspberry Chantilly. As someone who is not fond of overly sweet desserts, this was a refreshing change. The raspberry sorbet was the highlight, vividly red and packed with a tart, zippy tang that really whets the appetite. Topped with airy vanilla Chantilly, the fragrant cream helped balance the acidity of the berries. Simple yet well-executed, the ratio of cream to sorbet was spot on, making each spoonful a harmonious blend of creamy sweetness and fruit tartness.

Moutarde is a welcome addition to Singapore's dining landscape, a restaurant that carries the weight of Chef Paul Pairet's celebrated legacy without any of the stuffiness. Whether you are drawn in by the live carvery spectacle, the convivial bistro atmosphere, or simply the promise of well-executed French cooking in a relaxed setting, Moutarde delivers on all fronts. Do make your reservations early.

The Masses @ Arcade The Capitol Kempinski - Celebrates The Festive Season with 7-Course Chef Menu Priced at $68.90 per pax

The Masses is ringing in the festive season with a playful, French-Asian inspired Christmas and New Year menu that showcases Chef Dylan’s signature flair for bold flavours, familiar comforts, and unexpected twists. We were invited to preview the 7-Course Chef Menu (from $68.90 per pax) and their seasonal beverages. What unfolded was a lively mix of colours, textures and creative pairings that will spark conversation around the table.

The Jingle Juice and The Grinch 3/5

We began with two festive drinks created specially for the season - The Jingle Juice and The Grinch. The Jingle Juice ($7.90/glass or $17.90/jug) is a refreshing cranberry-apple mocktail brightened with lime and mint. It tastes exactly as cheerful as it looks, making it an easy pick for non-alcohol drinkers. The Grinch ($18/glass or $49.90/jug), on the other hand, is a melon-liqueur and Prosecco cocktail that arrives in a gorgeous sparkling green. Visually enticing, though we found the flavour slightly muted compared to its vibrant appearance.

Home Made “Rainbow” Brioche 4/5

Louis Oyster 3.8/5

Gougeres 3/5

The meal opens with a trio of breads and snacks, and the standout for us was the Home Made “Rainbow” Brioche, which came warm, crusty, and beautifully speckled with pecans and prunes for added dimension. Slightly dense but very satisfying, especially when paired with the accompanying umami butter.

The Louis Oyster, topped with Bloody Mary, lime and a rim of smoked chilli salt, brings acidity and spice, though subtly. The Gougeres, stuffed with black truffle and finished with melted comté and kumquat, were adorable and aromatic, but flavour-wise leaned milder than expected.

Wagyu Beef Tartare 3.5/5

Kawaebi Pasta 4.2/5

Foie Gras 4.2/5

Among the four starter options, our table sampled three. The Wagyu Beef Tartare surprised us with the clever addition of nashi pear, which added crunch and gentle sweetness to balance the beef. The Kawaebi Pasta was easily the most memorable, packed with “prawn mee” umami thanks to Penang laksa prawn stock, minced pork, confit lemon, kawaebi shrimp and tiger prawn. What the menu didn’t mention but elevated the dish tremendously was the pork lard hidden within.

If you want something indulgent, the Foie Gras (+$15) is a worthy upgrade. Generously portioned, luscious and beautifully complemented by cranberry mostarda, petite apple and poultry jus.

Duo Irish Duck 3.8/5

Halibut 4/5

We continued with all three main options. The Duo Irish Duck features a flavourful confit portion and a tender duck breast, which is slightly gamey for my palate but still well-executed. The carrot-tangerine purée was bright, though the purple cabbage purée felt less cohesive, and we ultimately preferred the duck enjoyed on its own.

The Halibut was the favourite among us! A moist, clean-tasting fillet sitting atop a luxurious shellfish fondue hidden underneath. Elegant, balanced and something I would return specifically to order.

Wagyu Petite Tender 4/5

For beef lovers, the Wagyu Petite Tender (+$15) is a satisfying upgrade. The meat is fork-tender, but the true scene-stealer is the much-talked-about potato pavé that we absolutely couldn’t get enough of. While the miso aubergine purée added depth, it didn’t particularly enhance the wagyu itself.

Blood Orange Granita 3.8/5

A refreshing interlude arrives before desserts: the Blood Orange Granita, which reminded us of a refined take on mango-pomelo dessert. The combination of mango sorbet and pomelo works as a bright palate cleanser after the richer courses.

Chestnut Crème Caramel 3/5

Truffle & Tulakalum 3/5

There are two dessert choices. The Chestnut Crème Caramel brings together chestnut ice cream, gingerbread spice and spiced honey under a crème brûlée. Individually, each element is enjoyable, but together the flavours didn’t harmonise as well as expected.

The Truffle & Tulakalum is undoubtedly unique, with a heavy focus on truffles. The truffle ice cream, however, was a touch oily, likely due to truffle oil, but the Valrhona dark chocolate ganache and mousse were rich and well executed.

In true Chef Dylan fashion, the festive menu is creative, bold and peppered with unexpected pairings that make dining here a lively experience. While not every component landed perfectly for us, the menu offers variety, value and conversation-worthy dishes especially for festive gatherings with friends and loved ones.

Aside from the 7-Course Chef Menu, diners can also opt for a 10-Course Communal Menu ($68.90 per pax, min. 3 pax) and a 2-Course Lunch Menu (from $30.90 per pax) if you’re planning a daytime get-together.

Morita Unigoro @ Stanley Street - An Exclusive 1-for-1 Six-course Dinner at $298++

Osaka’s acclaimed uni omakase specialist Morita UNIGORO at Stanley Street launches an exclusive 1-for-1 six-course dinner at $298++, available daily for dinner until 31 July 2025. This limited-time offering presents a more accessible way to enjoy the restaurant’s premium uni-focused omakase, showcasing Hokkaido sea urchin alongside seasonal Japanese ingredients.

Duo Sashimi 4.8/5

Our first course is a sashimi dish featuring two different cuts of tuna - Chutoro and Otoro. To enhance the enjoyment of the fatty tuna, diners can pair it with the accompanying sea salt and wasabi.

New "Uniku" (Uni & Meat) 5/5

The next course is the New "Uniku" comprising Uni and Meat. The A5 Wagyu Uchimomo (top round) is slightly torched and served together with egg yolk and uni. The three ingredients seem unassociated or unrelated, but when you have them all together, the combination of flavour and texture is out of this world. It was almost heavenly, deliciously good.

Tempura Scallop with Uni 4.5/5

Following that, we were served the Tempura Scallop with Uni. The plump and juicy scallop was lightly coated in a delicate, crispy batter, perfectly complementing the creamy sweetness of the uni. A touch of roasted seaweed tied all the elements together, enhancing both the aroma and umami, making for another beautifully executed and well-balanced dish.

The highlight of the six-course dinner is the Signature Uni Hot Pot. The hot pot comes with premium ingredients, including Uni, Lobster, Clam, Abalone, A5 Wagyu Beef Ribeye, Japanese Pork Belly, and Vegetables.

Signature Uni Hot Pot 4.8/5

The hot pot is brought to a boil, with uni added to the broth. Parmesan and olive oil are further added to elevate the taste profile. The ingredients are top-notch quality, too. The clam was the biggest I had ever seen and eaten; it was as big as my palm. The other highlight is the melt-in-the-mouth A5 wagyu.

Uni Mixed Rice 4.2/5

To fill one's up, the last savoury course is the Uni Mixed Rice. The rice was fluffy and well-infused with the robust flavour from the uni. My only complaint is that the portion is too small. I don't understand why the restaurant is reluctant to offer a larger portion or provide diners with the option to choose a different-sized portion of rice to their preference.

Homemade Granita 3.5/5

Last but not least, we wrapped up the meal on a sweet and refreshing note. The Homemade Granita was ideal after all the richness.
