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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

Steak Sudaku @ Beach Road - Omi Beef Steakhouse , Importing The Prized Beef Directly From Shiga Prefecture

IMG_5514

Steak Sudaku has recently opened its second outlet along Beach Road. Specialising in Omi beef, one of Japan's top wagyu brands with over 400 years of heritage. The restaurant imports its prized beef directly from Shiga Prefecture.

IMG_5511

The menu features three types of beef cuts with varying degrees of marbling alongside other non-steak dishes that showcase the versatility of this premium ingredient. Steak options include the A5 Regular Wagyu Steak ($29.80/150g), A5 Grade Lean Wagyu Steak ($34.80/150g), and A5 Grade Marbled Omi Beef Steak ($39.80/150g). I tried both the Lean Wagyu and the Marbled Omi Beef.

A5 Lean Wagyu Steak 4.5/5

The A5 Lean Wagyu Steak offers a cut with a higher proportion of lean meat and finer fat particles. As it's derived from a more muscular section, the steak had a chewier bite and a meatier texture. I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of flavour in each bite, especially given that it's a leaner cut. The savoury steak sauce poured over upon serving added an umami-rich dimension to the overall profile.

A5 Marbled Omi Beef Steak 4/5

In contrast, the A5 Marbled Omi Beef Steak, with its high-fat marbling, was sliced thinner and given a quick sear on both sides before being served on a hotplate. The thinner cut helped render the fat more effectively, resulting in a rich and flavourful bite that wasn't overwhelmingly fatty. That said, the tail end of the steak was slightly drier than the centre. Overall, the steaks were satisfying, though I felt that the black pepper seasoning and steak sauce could be toned down, allowing the natural flavours of the beef to shine.

There's also an option to turn your steak into a set by topping up for Salad ($2.80), Soup ($2.80), and Rice ($3.80), all of which come with free refills. The salad, essentially sliced cabbage, was quite basic and skippable, especially since pickles were already provided at the table. The soup, made from beef trimmings simmered for three hours, felt homely and rustic in the best way, though it could benefit from less salt. The rice was plump, glossy, and enjoyable, something I would much prefer over the wedges that were served alongside the steak.

Stepping into Steak Sudaku feels like walking into a small, rustic eatery in Japan. With its simple furnishings and somewhat makeshift decor, it’s a no-frills spot for diners craving a fuss-free wagyu steak experience.
