A Taste of Westholme: Five Spots to Savour Australian Wagyu

Meat lovers can have a taste of Westholme premium cuts like the wagyu tenderloin and the wagyu Striploin in contemporary dishes such as 28@Wilkie’s Filleto Di Manzo with pink garlic puree and The White Rabbit’s Grilled Wagyu Striploin with miso ginger glaze.
A Taste of Westholme is available from 1 August to 31 October 2019 at the following locations: 28@Wilkie, Culina at COMO Dempsey, Restaurant JAG, Salt Grill & Sky Bar, and The White Rabbit.

Satisfy your sweet tooth with the Honey PX (S$23++) made with vodka, lemon, and house-fermented mead from local beeyard Nutrinest’s stingless Trigona bee honey, or beat the summer heat with the Sugarcane Daiquiri (S$23++) crafted with rum, lime, finger lime jelly and sugarcane nectar to brighten the flavours.

Hidden behind an inconspicuous fridge door of a traditional Chinese eatery, the secret society-inspired restaurant The Dragon Chamber is serving up an amazing lineup of new dishes this month. Start your meal with the Lobster Pomelo Salad (S$60), consisting of freshly-steamed sweet lobster drizzled with sesame dressing and served in a cored pomelo bowl, before feasting on the Dragon Seafood Hor Fun (S$68) – flat noodles topped with succulent lobster and scallops (because what beef?)

Sunday Brunch with an Asian Twist
JAM at SIRI HOUSE’s new brunch menu is the perfect reason to get out of bed early (or late) on Sundays with their modern Asian brunch plates. Cult classics like Chicken and Waffles have now been reimagined, where chicken is marinated overnight with Asian herbs, served with salted gula melaka caramel and butter pancakes. Fried Eggs are also done in a fluffy Thai style omelette and served with roast pork. Fancy a tipple? Signature tipples include the Summer Fizz made with gin, peach, citrus, and soda, and the ever popular Scotch and Honey – Scotch, Fernet Branca, honey, and citrus. Perfect for a lazy afternoon in Singapore.
