After delighting its guests with French-style steak and fries at the flagship in Duxton Hill, L’Entrecôte The Steak & Fries Bistro opens its second outlet in Customs House.

Recommended: Trimmed Entrecote Steak ($36.80++)
What people really come here for is the plat du jour – the Trimmed Entrecôte Steak.
This famous sliced steak is generously served with a legendary secret sauce, flanked by mixed green salad with walnuts and French fries.
Though the fat content being extremely low, and therefore corresponding lean and somewhat ‘muscular tasting’, the meat was still easy on the chew and flavourful.
Did I not mention that the golden French FRIES are all-you-can-eat?

Forlino

Tel: +65 6690 7564
Opening Hours: Lunch 12pm – 2:30pm, Dinner 6:30pm – 11pm (Mon – Sun)
If Italian fine dining with a view excites you, then reserve a table at Forlino – one of Singapore’s best-known destination for dining on the bay.
Sitting stylishly at level 2 of One Fullerton with floor-to-ceiling windows, it rewards you with stunning views of the Marina Bay waterfront while you partake of its chef-specialty dishes.
World Gourmet Awards 2019’s Rising Chef of the Year, Matteo Ponti, has curated Forlino’s menu showcasing culinary influences from North to South Italy.
The Agnello ($48++), one of his favourite dishes growing up, is a lamb loin brined in peppermint tea for 30 minutes to remove its gaminess. This is also an elegantly presented dish, thoughtfully plated to reflect the landscape of Liguria in North Italy.
The Le Due Isole ($42++, also part of degustation menu) prepared with “Rosso di Mazara” (red prawn carpaccio from Sicily) and Sardinian Red Mullet Bottarga.
What’s an Italian meal without pasta? Order the hand-crafted Ravioli del Plin ($32++) stuffed with slow-braised beef chuck coated with aged Parmigiano fondue and porcini mushrooms. Made from a family recipe, this dish is served with fresh black truffle shavings.
Recommended: Vitello
The Vitello comes part of Forlino’s 5-couse Dalla Terra degustation menu available for $148++ per person. The dish is also available in a larger portion from the A La Carte menu at $46++.
The Vitello is an elevated take of the classic beef tartare, using grass and milk-fed veal instead to bring about light and sweeter flavours.
The tartare is topped with luxurious Schrenckii Caviar, added with cream egg yolk confit custard to create a visually stunning dish.
As for that one final step (before eating), guests would be invited to pour in the shallot-infused jus made from a reduction of veal bone marrow and sweet marsala wine, which marries all the flavours together.

OverEasy Fullerton
1 Fullerton Road #01-06 One Fullerton, Singapore 049213
Tel: +65 6684 1453
Opening Hours: 11:30am – 1am (Mon – Fri), 10am – 1am (Sat), 10am – 11pm (Sun)
OverEasy is the ultimate All-American diner in Singapore, bringing about timeless recipes, a little Southern hospitality and a stateside experience.
In food lingo, this translates to bangin’ burgers, good ol’ mac & cheese, and tasty shakes.
With its good location, OverEasy Fullerton boasts of sweeping views of the Marina Bay skyline. Here you can enjoy an American meal in a modern space reminiscent of the classic American diner.
Some may find it convivial respite from the daily grind in the business district.
Start off with burger. There are many out there that are to-live-for. But OverEasy’s burger is literally the “To-Die-For” Burger ($25++). The homemade bun sandwiches a freshly ground chuck patty with a special OverEasy sauce, quite similar to thousand island. Served with freshly cut haystack fries (thicker than toothpicks) with parmesan and rosemary.
OverEasy has two versions of the Mac & Cheese, the Good Ol’ Fashioned Mac & Cheese for lovers of the classic, and the Truffled Lobster Mac & Cheese for those looking to step it up a notch.
Recommended: Beer Can Chicken ($58++)
If you’re dining as a group, get the Beer Can Chicken ($58++). It features a whole chicken, enough to be shared among 2 to 3 persons.
As you can probably tell by its name, this tipsy chicken has been marinated with beer plus a secret blend of spices. After 18 hours of marination, the chicken is roasted along with fresh vegetables for about 40 minutes.
This timing is just right so the meat stays moist and juicy, while the skin is perfectly roasted to a golden brown.
Finally, drown everything with a glass of the quintessential diner drink – the Milkshake.
