Bedrock Bar & Grill @ Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Orchard - 10 Premium Meats from Around The Globe

Celebrating a significant milestone, Bedrock Bar & Grill’s World Meat Series enters its 10th year with its most ambitious edition yet. What began as a five-course, single-meat showcase has evolved into a six-course tasting menu featuring 10 different meats, offering diners a comprehensive, immersive carnivorous journey across the globe.

The World Meat Series 2026 – Edition I (priced at $158++ per person) brings together iconic favourites from the past decade alongside brand-new, exclusive additions, most notably the highly coveted Jeju Premium Hanwoo beef from Korea. Available from 14 January to 31 March 2026, this limited-time menu is designed for serious meat lovers and those seeking a memorable way to kickstart the year with indulgence.

Flat Bread 4.5/5

A complimentary and signature starter, the Flat Bread sets the tone for the meal. Served warm, it is soft, fluffy, and comforting. Accompanied by butter and roasted garlic steeped in olive oil, the spreads elevate the bread, making it dangerously easy to polish off even before the first course arrives.

Australian Tenderloin Carpaccio 5/5

A standout dish, the Australian Tenderloin Carpaccio showcases the quality of Cape Grim tenderloin, sliced paper-thin and seasoned simply with salt and pepper. Yellow onion shavings add a subtle bite, while a drizzle of truffle oil and truffle shoyu lends depth and aroma. Finished with chopped chives, this dish is elegant, restrained, and utterly satisfying.

Red Pepper Australian Beef Tartare 4.5/5

The Red Pepper Australian Beef Tartare is bold and flavour-forward. Finely minced Cape Grim tenderloin is mixed with gochujang, soy sauce, and sesame oil, then crowned with a rich confit egg yolk. Served alongside thinly sliced Nashi pear and croutons, and finished with chives, sesame seeds, and crispy minced garlic, this dish delivers a harmonious balance of spice, sweetness, and umami, while allowing the beef’s natural flavour to shine.

Slow Braised Australian Intercoastal 4/5

Comforting and hearty, the Slow Braised Australian Intercostal features Sanchoku wagyu cut into cubes, seared, and braised for 2 to 3 hours in a mirepoix, tomato paste, beef stock, and red wine. The result is tender, flavourful meat coated in a rich sauce. Served with burrata cheese and grilled sourdough, and finished with balsamic glaze and chives, it is indulgent without being overwhelming.

House Cured Beef Bacon Salad 4.2/5

A creative take on a salad course, the House Cured Beef Bacon Salad uses US beef shortplate, cured in-house for a week with pink salt and pepper, then cold-smoked over applewood. Paired with grilled baby gem, fresh tomatoes, shaved parmesan, and microgreens, the dish is finished with a zesty lemon vinaigrette and a final drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. The result is smoky, savoury, and refreshingly balanced.

21-Day Aged Lamb Rack 4.2/5

The 21-Day Aged Lamb Rack is dry-aged, sous vide at 55°C for three hours, and finished over applewood and charcoal. The lamb is tender and robust, served with roasted root vegetables — carrot, parsnip, celeriac, and beetroot — glazed in red wine sauce. A housemade rosemary mint sauce beneath the lamb complements the meat beautifully, enhancing its natural richness.

Mangalica Pork Tomahawk 4.2/5

Rich and indulgent, the Mangalica Pork Tomahawk is deboned, sous vide at 55°C, then grilled over an applewood fire. Thinly sliced Gruyère cheese is laid atop and torched for added decadence. Housemade pickled pumpkin and whisky mustard provide much-needed acidity and sharpness, cutting through the pork’s natural fattiness.

Woodfire Grilled Argentinian Angus Ribeye 4.5/5

One of the brand-new additions to the series, the Woodfire Grilled Argentinian Angus Ribeye features 100-day grain-fed beef from the Pampas region. Simply seasoned and grilled over applewood fire, the ribeye shines with robust beefy flavours. The vibrant housemade chimichurri adds a herbaceous, spicy lift, making this a classic yet satisfying pairing.

Jeju Premium Hanwoo Ribeye Cap 4.5/5

Making its debut at Bedrock Bar & Grill, the Jeju Premium Hanwoo Ribeye Cap is a luxurious highlight. Known for its exceptional marbling and tenderness, the beef is grilled over applewood fire and served with a grilled jalapeño and béarnaise sauce. The accompaniments beautifully complement the richness of Hanwoo, allowing diners to fully appreciate this prized Korean beef.

Yuzu Sorbet 4/5

A light and refreshing Yuzu Sorbet provides a welcome palate cleanser, cutting through the richness of the preceding courses and preparing diners for the final indulgences.

Black Angus Striploin 4.2/5

The Black Angus Striploin is a classic cut done right, allowing the natural qualities of the beef to take centre stage. Known for its fine marbling and robust beefy flavour, the striploin is simply seasoned with salt and pepper before being expertly grilled over high heat to achieve a beautifully caramelised crust.

Japanese Satsuma Wagyu A5 Striploin 4.5/5

The pinnacle of the tasting menu, the Japanese Satsuma Wagyu A5 Striploin, represents the highest grade of Japanese beef. Masterfully grilled, it is served with kizami wasabi (wasabi root stems) to enhance its sweetness, alongside shoestring fries dusted with shichimi togarashi. Rich, buttery, and luxurious, it is a fitting climax to the World Meat Series.

Chocolate Marquise 4.2/5

The meal concludes with a Chocolate Marquise, made with digestive biscuit and roasted hazelnuts. Served with raspberries and blueberries, and drizzled with 66% Valrhona dark chocolate sauce, it offers a satisfyingly rich yet balanced finish.

Since its inception in 2016, Bedrock Bar & Grill’s World Meat Series has drawn discerning diners with its exploration of premium and lesser-known meats from around the world. This expanded 10th anniversary edition is the most comprehensive iteration yet—a thoughtfully curated retrospective that blends nostalgia for longtime fans with a “best-of” introduction for newcomers. For meat lovers seeking a global, indulgent, and expertly executed dining experience, the World Meat Series 2026 is not to be missed.

Note: This is an invited tasting.

Tina’s Kitchen Private Dining – A Refined Showcase of Technique and Ingredients

Tina's Kitchen Private Dining is helmed by Chef Tina, a Taiwanese chef trained at Le Cordon Bleu. She does not host private dining sessions regularly, usually opening her cosy home kitchen only a couple of times each month, so securing a dining slot felt especially fortunate. Priced at $188 per pax, we were treated to a thoughtfully curated 10-course dinner that showcased her culinary skills and training.

While the menu does not strictly focus on Taiwanese cuisine, it felt more like a personal culinary résumé — highlighting refined techniques, quality ingredients and elegant presentations, with subtle Taiwanese influences woven through the courses.

Filo Pastry Cone, Cream with Kaffir Lime Zest, Caviar by Nomad, Chives 4.2/5

Dinner began with a series of bite-sized snacks, starting with the Filo Pastry Cone topped with Kaffir Lime Zest Cream, Caviar by Nomad and Chives. Crisp and delicate, the filo pastry delivered a satisfying contrast of textures, while the citrusy cream and briny caviar came together harmoniously for a multi-sensory opening bite.

Amaebi Tartare, Avocado Cream, Ponzu Cured Egg Yolk, Microgreen 4.2/5

The Amaebi Tartare was paired with Avocado Cream, Ponzu Cured Egg Yolk and Microgreens. The natural sweetness of the amaebi was allowed to shine, complemented rather than overshadowed by the creamy avocado and savoury egg yolk.

Salmon Tartare, Cured Yolk Shredded, Tobiko, Edible Flower 4/5

Served atop toasted bread, the Salmon Tartare was finished with Cured Yolk Shredded, Tobiko and Edible Flowers. Each bite delivered a burst of oceanic flavours, with the tobiko adding pops of salinity and texture.

Foie Gras Chawanmushi, Truffle Sauce, Squid Ink Tuile 4.5/5

One of the standout dishes of the night was the Foie Gras Chawanmushi with Truffle Sauce, which reminded me of the excellent version at Shisen Hanten. The egg custard was smooth and silky, enriched by the luxurious truffle sauce. A Squid Ink Tuile accompanied the dish, providing a welcome textural contrast when broken and eaten together.

Edible Oyster Shell, Oyster, Champagne Sauce Foam, Green Oil, Edible Flower 4.5/5

Creativity shone through in the oyster course. A plump, briny Oyster was presented in an Edible Oyster Shell, topped with Champagne Sauce Foam, Green Oil and Edible Flowers. Visually striking and thoughtfully composed, the flavours were elegant and well-balanced.

King Crab Bisque, Torched King Crab, Saffron, Edible Flower 4.2/5

The King Crab Bisque was comforting and deeply flavourful, packed with robust crustacean sweetness. Infused with Saffron and garnished with Edible Flowers, the bisque was further elevated by a generous portion of Torched King Crab on the side for a fuller appreciation of the prized ingredient.

Beef Consomme, Slow-Cooked 4 Hour Beef Shin, Homemade Chilli Oil 4.2/5

Inspired by Taiwanese beef noodle soup, this course featured Slow-Cooked Beef Shin, braised for four hours until fork-tender. The accompanying Beef Consomme was light yet richly flavoured, and a few dollops of Homemade Chilli Oil added depth and warmth to the dish.

Uni Risotto, Torched Scallop, Smoked Cherry Chips 4/5

Next came the Uni Risotto, paired with a torched scallop, lightly smoked with cherry chips for a subtle smoky finish. While the dish was enjoyable, the uni flavour could have come through more prominently in the risotto itself.

Watermelon, Granita

A refreshing Watermelon with Granita was served as a palate cleanser, effectively refreshing and resetting the palate before the main course.

Wagyu Beef Cheek, Truffle Sauce, Glazed Veg Assortment 4/5

The main course featured Wagyu Beef Cheek, cooked until meltingly tender and served with truffle sauce and glazed vegetables. Rich, comforting, and well-executed, it was a satisfying centrepiece to the meal.

Hazelnut Tiramisu, Crumbs, Cacao Tuile 4/5

To conclude, dessert was a Hazelnut Tiramisu paired with Cacao Tuile for added crunch. Simple yet satisfying, it wrapped up the dinner on a pleasant and sweet note.

Tina's Kitchen Private Dining offers an intimate and refined dining experience that highlights Chef Tina's training and culinary finesse. With thoughtfully composed dishes, quality ingredients and elegant execution, it is a memorable experience — especially for those who appreciate technique-driven cuisine in a cosy home setting.

One Prawn & Co @ New Bahru - Modern Asian Seafood Grill by Chef Gwyneth of Michelin Bib Gourmand Zhup Zhup

One Prawn & Co would be familiar to prawn noodle enthusiasts, as the original Michelin Bib Gourmand prawn noodle eatery by Chef Gwyneth has since been rebranded as Zhup Zhup. Today, One Prawn & Co represents her newest culinary venture, a modern Asian seafood grill concept at New Bahru, centred around woodfire grilling and bold fusion flavours.

The restaurant offers a mix of indoor and outdoor seating, along with counter seats that provide diners with a front-row view of the chefs at work in the open kitchen.

The $100++ per pax dinner set menu is perhaps the best introduction to Chef Gwyneth’s cuisine. Thoughtfully curated, it takes diners on a progression of flavours, beginning with lighter, refreshing bites before moving into deeper, smokier notes. A minimum of two diners is required, and reservations should quote OPC100SET.

Hamachi Tartare 4/5

The meal began with the Hamachi Tartare, served on a crisp sago cracker and topped with hamachi, tobiko, and kimchi. While the kimchi was more subtle than expected, the overall combination made for a clean and refreshing start.

Smoky Prawn Toast 4.5/5

Next came the Smoky Prawn Toast, featuring juicy prawn paste, pickled red onion and homemade garlic aioli on crisp toast. It was a delightful bite that balanced crunch, creaminess and a gentle smokiness.

Burrata & Smoky Beans 5/5

The brilliantly executed Burrata & Smoked Beans was my absolute favourite dish of the meal. Crunchy haricot verts and white bait are topped with umami-packed cracked chilli and creamy burrata. Unexpected yet perfectly harmonious, it was so addictive we polished it off super quickly. This is also available a la carte at $26, and I highly recommend ordering.

Spicy Octopus 4.5/5

Fusion flavours continued to shine with the Spicy Octopus. Tender grilled octopus was paired with assam pedas, while lotus root chips added a satisfying crunch.

Scorched Hor Fun 4.2/5

We watched as the chefs carefully prepared the Scorched Hor Fun, a modern nod to the local zi char classic. The hor fun is cooked in a mesh sieve over a woodfire to achieve an intense char, then tossed with XO sauce and Sichuan peanuts, and finished with plump seared scallops. While we definitely wished for a more potent XO punch, the lighter flavours were still enjoyable.

“Typhoon Shelter” Prawn 4.8/5

The beautifully plated “Typhoon Shelter” Prawn followed. Five smoky, perfectly cooked prawns sat in a rich elderflower vermouth sauce with burnt leek oil, creating a sweet, savoury, herbaceous combination.

Malt Black 4/5

Desserts began with Malt Black, a unique sourdough ice cream paired with roasted white chocolate, yuzu and Horlicks crumbs.

Lemongrass Ice Kachang 4.2/5

The Lemongrass Ice Kachang was a refreshing finale, featuring osmanthus aiyu jelly, roasted coconut, lemongrass granita and plum vinegar.

Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed Chef Gwyneth’s refined yet soulful creations, particularly her thoughtful approach to reimagining local Asian flavours through a modern lens.

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.
