It looks set to be a yummy week ahead as one of Singapore’s top steakhouses brings premium snow-aged Japanese cuts, while Tokyo-Italian joint terra launches an array of artisanal products.

Bedrock Bar & Grill 2018 World Meat Series Edition 1: Japan Snow Aged Wagyu
Can’t resist a good steak? The highly-regarded Bedrock Bar & Grill is embarking on a four-part 2018 World Meat Series, kickstarting with Yukimuro beef – which features the traditional method of preserving food in a snow-cooled storehouse. As producers of some of the world’s highest quality Japanese wagyu, look forward to an immensely mellow, robust, and melt-in-mouth taste from appetisers like the Snow Aged Beef Carpaccio ($42) with truffle dressing and the Snow Aged Beef Tartare ($42). But of course, you must try the highlights – a full A4 Snow Aged Wagyu Striploin ($185/200g) and an A4 Snow Aged Wagyu Ribeye ($185/200g), both served with black garlic butter and kizami wasabi.
Feast on these exquisite steaks from now to 31 March 2018 at Bedrock Bar & Grill, #01-05 Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Orchard, Singapore 238163, p. +65 6238 0054. Available daily for lunch, 12pm – 3pm and dinner, 6pm – 11pm.
