PUBLISHED December 21st, 2016 11:51 am | UPDATED May 14th, 2018 11:51 am
This week sees two scrumptious Christmas specials (one juicy and one caffeine-loaded), a new froyo sensation, a weekend brunch makeover at one of Tiong Bahru’s favourite bistros, and more.
‘Wolf On The Hill’: A Pop-up by Wolf Burger x Bird Bird
Remember the famously juicy burger by Wolf? Its head chef Sarah Lin has collaborated with Bird Bird’s Bjorn Shen (also of Artichoke) to design a menu that brings together crowd-favourites with some new additions – think the burger joint’s quality meat paired with premium toppings like truffled porcini mushrooms, blue cheese, and port cheese for one. In fact, a seasonal special Wolf’s Bird Burger gets you all Christmas-y with juicy turkey and turkey crackling topped with cranberry jam. Also on the menu are boozy milkshakes like Bailey’s Horlick Milkshakes, $9.90++ pints of Hofbrau Munchen beers, and bottles of wine from $40++!
Wolf on the Hill is located at 18 Ann Siang Rd, Singapore 069698. Open daily 5pm (drinks only), 6pm – 10pm (dinner) till 31 December 2016.
