PUBLISHED November 1st, 2017 06:00 am | UPDATED May 18th, 2020 04:24 pm

The first week of November sees new menus at an celebrity chef helmed Italian restaurant and The Summerhouse, dishes with a citrusy touch at a wine bar, as well as fresh offerings from a stalwart cafe-bistro. Also, this week’s big gastronomic adventure is a collaboration between a burger specialist and a well-loved local chef – don’t miss it!

Dishes Upsized at Osteria Mozza

Italian fine dining at Osteria Mozza just got a lot larger as they introduce large-format dishes to their menus. Best for sharing with a group of friends and family, dig into plates such as the Dry-Aged Porterhouse (from $130++) of 150-day grass-fed Black Angus beef from Queensland, Australia, and the Beef Cheek & Bone Marrow Pie ($65++) where thick portions of veal come encased in pastry for diners to slice open and reveal the juicy meat within. A series of 14 handmade pastas are also available for the necessary carbs, so if you’re in a mood for a feast, grab some folks and head over, stat.

Feast at Osteria Mozza, 2 Bayfront Avenue, B1-42-46 Galleria Level, The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore 018956, p. +65 6688 8522. Opens Mon-Fri 5pm – 11pm, Sat-Sun 12pm – 2.30pm, 5pm – 11pm.

Three Buns x Bird Bird Two-Sunday Special: The Bird Bun

The quest for the best burger place in Singapore is never-ending, but we’d say Three Buns at Potato Head Singapore in Keong Saik comes pretty close. Now, a two-week special created in collaboration with Chef Bjorn Shen of Bird Bird takes the dish to yet another level. The Bird Bun ($16) features Thai-fried Sakura chicken thigh, nam jin slaw and coconut mayo, encased in a toasted rice bun to soak up the goodness. This meeting of culinary minds will be available at Bird Bird on Sunday, 5 November 2017 from 3pm to closing, and at Potato Head Singapore on Sunday, 12 November 2017 from 12pm to 6pm.

Try the burger at Bird Bird, 97 Frankel Avenue, Singapore 458222, +65 6694 8270, on Sunday, 5 November 2017, 3pm – 11pm; and at Potato Head Singapore, 36 Keong Saik Road, Singapore 089143, p. +65 6327 1939, on Sunday, 12 November 2017, 12pm – 6pm. 

Citrus Delights and Drinks at Ginett Wine Bar & Restaurant

Ginett Wine Bar & Restaurant highlights the oft-used but underrated ingredient with its Citrus Fiesta menu. Refreshing amidst the heavy dishes common during the festive season, Chef De Cuisine Sylvain Royer and Executive Chef Xu worked with a team of mixologists to a craft a menu that includes the Salmon Celeriac Salad ($30++) for orange and passionfruit on smoked fish. Pair them with Ginett’s special citrus-forward drinks like the Gin Fizz ($16++), the Grapefruit Sour ($16++) and the Orange Lemon mocktail ($10++).

Refresh your palate with the Citrus Fiesta at Ginett Wine Bar & Restaurant, 200 Middle Road, Singapore 188980, p. +65 6809 7989, from now to 2 January 2018. Opens Sun-Thu 7am – 11.30pm, Fri-Sat 7am – 12.30pm. 

Refreshed Afternoon Menus at The Summerhouse

Having launched a pair of menus specially for indulging in the afternoons on weekdays and weekends, The Summerhouse sees a plethora of new dishes for your choosing – for weekdays on the clock, try the Pan-seared sea bass with broccoli, baby potatoes and seaweed hollandaise as your main after a refreshing salad starter, while weekends for relaxation lets your savour highlights such as Smoked salmon with baked eggs, roasted brioches, pea and mushroom ragout.
