Bedrock launched its second restaurant in September 2021 – Bedrock Origin – at the new Oasia Resort Sentosa. As with the original outlet, Bedrock Origin also aims to make a mark when it comes to steaks while reflecting its coastal location thru a selection of seafood items as well. In support of Oasia Resort Sentosa’s wellness lifestyle, Bedrock Origin also offers plant-based alternatives and keto-friendly options.

The interiors of Bedrock Origin can be best described as sleek, with hues of olive and plum blending into the leather furniture giving it that flexibility between day and night. At night, the dim mood lighting evokes the masculinity typically associated with steakhouses but in the day, the colors serve to accentuate the natural light that comes in from the glass doors.

For those who prefer alfresco dining, guests can also choose to sit in the shaded verandah and alfresco outdoor terrace. The area offers a mix between outdoor dining tables/chairs as well as more relaxing sofa-style seating. The outdoor area overlooks a relatively quiet section of Sentosa, despite the monorail being only a few steps away.

In an era where traveling has become restrictive and sometimes punishing, there comes an Indian restaurant that aims to satiate an outsider’s or wanderer’s thirst for something new. Firangi Superstar was established only a couple of months back to present a foreigner’s perspective of the vast country. Even the name, which means “foreigner” in Hindi, is a play on this concept. The whimsical interiors draw inspiration from iconic tourist attractions such as the City Palace in Udaipur (made famous by James Bond) as well as Hollywood movies filmed in India such as The Darjeeling Limited. Even without a single bite, one finds that a visit to Firangi Superstar is already a feast for the senses.

Origin Grill and Bar first opened towards the end of 2017 at the ground floor of Shangri-la Hotel Singapore, replacing the former Japanese restaurant, Nadaman. In those few short years, it has risen above the ranks of Singapore’s best steakhouses with a menu that has undergone a few changes over the years but with a keen focus on different cuts of beef from various regions.

Origin is not only about the steaks as well. It’s equally known for its wide array of cocktails and wines. Some of the non-beef dishes are also pretty stellar. 

I returned to Origin on the eve of more restrictions in Singapore’s dining scene. Both the main dining hall and bar area were busy with parties of 5 going for their last meetups in a while.

Those looking for a relatively hidden or obscure place to dine in Singapore might be surprised to find one right smack in the city’s shopping district. Four Seasons Singapore recently renovated the outdoor area of One Ninety Bar, calling this extension Garden@One-Ninety. Although Garden@One-Ninety is not really marketed as a separate venue, the lush ambiance and presence of verdant foliage make it look like so. Garden@One-Ninety also has a distinct menu, with a keen focus on seasonal greens and plant-based options. As an extension of the bar, one can also find a myriad of drinks here with a similar focus.
