1. Bedrock Bar & Grill

The restaurant’s World Meat Series is back from now until March 31; this time around, executive chef Isaac and his team are featuring the famed Yamaguchi Aged wagyu beef from Yamaguchi, Japan.

The aged Wagyu is known for its rich and distinctive flavours, as showcased in exclusive dishes such as the bone marrow tartare and applewood smoked Wagyu tataki. The former uses the hand-chopped ribeye cap set atop roasted bone marrow and garnished with mountain caviar. As for the latter, the aged ribeye cap is enhanced with accompaniments of tangy pickled radish, pumpkin strips, grated hard-boiled egg and puffed rice for extra crunch. Book here.

2. Green Common

With more and more people switching to a plant-based diet, the addition of Green Common to the dining scene is very much a welcome affair. Your one-stop eatery and grocery for plant-based necessities is the brainchild of Green Monday Group, which brought us alternative proteins such as OmniMeat, Beyond Meat, Daiya, Just and Heura.

Naturally, the place features their products in creations such as Omni luncheon fries; rendang chicken roti which uses Heura chicken cooked in a flavoursome curry sauce; and Beyond Black burger starring the juicy Beyond Burger patty stacked with sautéed mushrooms, finely sliced cabbage and black pepper sauce.
