Wolfgang's Steakhouse @ Intercontinental Singapore Robertson Quay - Celebrates Christmas With New Festive Set Menu And Brunch Dishes

Celebrating the holidays in style, Wolfgang’s Steakhouse Singapore has unveiled a new NYC-Inspired Christmas Set Menu and Christmas Brunch, which showcases a variety of typical brunch favourites and festive additions.

Available from 24 to 27 December, the Christmas Set Menu (S$188 per pax, min 2 pax) includes a light starter of Beverly Hills Chopped Salad and Crab Cake, followed by USDA Prime Porterhouse Steak, accompanied by succulent Honey Baked Ham, Pumpkin Mashed Potato, Brussel Sprouts with Bacon, and Vichy-Style Carrots. Homemade Carrot Cake completes the feast.

Beverly Hills Chopped Salad and Crab Cake 4/5

We tried the Beverly Hills Chopped Salad and Crab Cake, which is part of the Christmas Set Menu. The crab cake is loaded with fresh crab meat and cooked to fork-tender perfection. Served with a side of chopped salad to boot.

Sleigh Bells 4/5

Before proceeding to the brunch menu, you can bring up the festive spirit with their special festive toasts such as the Sleigh Bells ($28). The beautifully decorated drink comprises a sweet combination of tequila, Cointreau, cranberry and lime. Catering to those hoping to stay sober over the season, the team have also created two special mocktails, the Jolly Zest ($18) and the Gingerbread Eggnog ($18).

Steak and Eggs 4.2/5

From the Christmas Brunch Menu, we had the Steak and Eggs ($45) consisting of 100% USDA Prime Black Angus Striploin, cherry tomatoes and creamy scrambled eggs. The juicy and succulent piece of steak is excellent on its own, even without any complementing sauce.

Wolfgang's Eggs Benedict 4.5/5

Not to be missed is the Wolfgang's Eggs Benedict ($30) - an elevated version of your usual eggs benedict which features 100% USDA Prime Black Angus Petite Filet Mignon on fluffy English muffins, and poached eggs with creamy hollandaise atop. As one of the most prized cuts of meat, the Filet Mignon is juicy and has a more tender and buttery texture as compared to the rest of the cuts. It paired perfectly with the creamy flowy eggs.

Angel Hair Pasta 4/5

Apart from the steaks, Wolfgang Steakhouse does great pasta too. We had the Angel Hair Pasta ($28) with scallop, salmon roes and caviar.

Note: This is an invited tasting.

Hathaway @ Dempsey Hill - New Restaurant At Dempsey Showcasing A Strong Local Influence Interlaced With French or Middle-Eastern Cuisine

A new addition to Dempsey Hill enclave is Hathaway by the same folk behind Bread Yard. The interior feels casual, more like a cafe/bistro though it categorises itself as a modern Asian restaurant. The menu showcases a strong local influence interlaced with French or Middle-Eastern cuisine.

I started with my daily dose of caffeine. I mentioned earlier that the place is more like a cafe because the restaurant has a proper barista coffee machine with skilful barista making each cup of coffee with beautiful latte art.

Whole Baby Potato Cottage Fries 4/5

I have tried fries served in many ways such as curly, wedges, waffle, shoestring etc. but the Whole Baby Potato Cottage Fries ($16) is a unique cut. It is almost like having a begedil topped with garlic and rosemary. It comes with za'atar labneh and chilli-lime cilantro dipping sauces.

Octopus Bakar & Sambal Udang 4.2/5

We actually skipped the brunch menu and dived for the mains because we find them more interesting over the usual egg benedict and toasts. We started with the Octopus Bakar & Sambal Udang ($42). The octopus grilled will kecap manis gives the tentacle a delectable sweetness and smokiness. 

Ah Nya's Fish Curry 4.2/5

The Ah Nya's Fish Curry ($32) is an exciting dish on the menu that comes with a whole fillet of local Kuhlbarra barramundi, fondant potatoes and a super long toasted bread to soak up that delicious curry sauce.

Seri Muka 4.2/5

The dessert at Hathaway is definitely worth your calories. We have the Seri Muka ($16) whereby the kueh salat is accompanied with a scoop of apom berkuah ice cream in pengat pisang sauce. The binding of Nonya kueh with western techniques delivers the traditional Nonya snack a new form of appreciation.

The Queen's Conserve 4.5/5

Last but not least, we have The Queen's Conserve ($16). A scoop of lavender ice cream is sandwiched two pieces of crispy and flaky kouign amann paired with passionfruit curd.

The food at Hathaway is really delicious and unique as they are items not commonly offered elsewhere. However, the price is quite expensive. For the cost of the mains, it almost the same as for the more high end or Michelin starred restaurant.
