New Places In Singapore For Delicious Steak

Meat-lovers, take note. The steak scene in Singapore is sizzling, with more steakhouses opening and offering a wider variety of premium beef grades from new sources.

No fewer than three have opened in the past two months, with one more - Origin Grill & Bar at Shangri-La Hotel Singapore - opening on Wednesday.

The three are Wolfgang's Steakhouse at InterContinental Robertson Quay; Wakanui Grill Dining at the new Marina One mixed-use development; and 665 Degrees Fahrenheit at Andaz Singapore.

These add to other establishments in the scene such as one-Michelin-starred Cut by Wolfgang Puck at Marina Bay Sands; Morton's The Steakhouse at Mandarin Oriental Singapore; as well as the casual Jack's Place chain of restaurants.

It is no longer about just ordering the usual ribeye or sirloin. Instead, menus now highlight other important factors such as the wagyu grade, marbling score, how long the beef has been dry-aged and whether it is grain-or grass-fed.

For example, the new Origin Grill & Bar will offer a special snow-aged full blood wagyu beef A4 from Niigata, Japan, while 665 Degrees Fahrenheit's menu features halal-certified meats.

Meats aside, chefs are also paying extra attention to having lighter appetisers and side dishes to complement the heavier meaty main course.
