Wooloomooloo Steakhouse @ Raffles City

Been wanting to visit Wooloomooloo ever since I read few reviews on its steak; which mostly quite encouraging.

Finally, got a chance to visit it on one rainy Sunday lunch but I only realized upon seating down that it’s Weekend Brunch Set Course Menu and there was no Ala Carte menu.
I would say this Brunch menu of 5 Set Courses turned out good and warrant me to bring my guest here on weekend.

The décor is really represent traditional Steak House with its leather covered chairs, dark wood furniture and well-dressed waiting staff.  Usually we have view from high floor but in Wooloomooloo, an eye-level view to Marina Bay Sands and surrounding is quite a good change. Overall, it gave you that sense of sit back and relax when having your steak and glass of wine.

I chose my course as Fried Hen’s Egg, French Onion soup, Wild Mushroom Risotto, Filet Mignon as my main course with fries as side dish, Wooloomooloo Lemon & Lime Pie. Comment on each dish are on photo below.

My partner in crime for lunch ordered an Egg Benedict , Lobster Bisque, Jumbo Lump Crab Cake, Tasmanian Salmon Fillet as main course and Wooloomooloo Cheesecake.

It was quiet when we came at 12.30 pm but slowly, few patrons streamed in around 1.30 pm.

I would say this is really a good place to have your basic steak cut and good dishes that accompanying it in a relax atmosphere especially after work.

It definitely warrants another visit with fellow steak lovers…

My Fried Hen's Egg
It was good, the timbale of tomato, avocado and hash brown really worked well together


Egg Benedict
Prettily done egg benedict


Lobster Bisque
A good lobster bisque indeed and generous portion too
A very good design of this wooden plate, with a curve to make it easier to carry
French Onion Soup
It was done perfectly, a good balance of onions
Jumbo Lump Crab Cake
I was imagining a Jumbo version but it was the opposite; it was a good crab cake and a good portion too considering we still had few meals to go

Wild Mushroom Risotto
My first bite was so good! It ain't easy to cook risotto but that day, it certainly inspired me to try my hands on at home in cooking this dish
 
Australian Grass Fed Filet Mignon
It was a very good filet mignon and the portion just right with fries, tomatoes on vines and arugula as side dishes
Beautifully cooked
Tasmanian Salmon Fillet
For non steak lover, this was a very main course, the sauce and its garnishes just added in nice flavor for this dish

Wooloomooloo Cheesecake
I preferred this than the Lemon & Lime Pie, the cheesecake texture was soft and worked well with the ice cream

Wooloomooloo Lemon & Lime PieIt was good but somehow it had quite overpowering taste and the pie was a tad too hard to bite

SKIRT @ W Sentosa Cove

Who wouldn't love W hotel when you visit one; epitome of a hip, modern and fun hotel. Beside its amazing interior design and that famous W Spa, W Hotel also proud on its restaurants.
 
W Sentosa Cove was no exception, they were proud with their 'Skirt' restaurant specializing in their Dry Aged Meat Steak which first one I heard of such item.
 
Dry Aged meat is supposed to have more flavour as it is kept in air-tight compartment, no blood residue and more tender than usual meat.
 
To my surprise, their Skirt steaks selection are within affordable range with good quality meat selection.
 
True to W spirit, the design of this restaurant also goes all out to impress right down to small details. It fits perfectly with Skirt identity of a good steak restaurant.
 
Service was impressive throughout our dinner; knowledgeable on its menu and wine, friendly, courteous, attentive; all we long in restaurant service were full on display here.
 
Proud of its dry-aged menu, Skirt even paid attention to our taste bud by providing 'special drink' to neutralize our tongue from earlier appetizers.
 
Beside its steak, Skirt had beautiful and tasty dishes that were outstanding on its own
 
Adjacent to Skirt outdoor area was the recently opened Sentosa Cove Quayside area which in itself has abundance of good restaurants. With view to parked yachts and sea view, it felt as if you were transported to Miami.
 
Distance may be a bother but with numbers of transportations & free shuttle from Harbourfront to Sentosa and W hotel itself, it is no longer a difficult task.
 
I highly recommended Skirt at Sentosa Cove for steak lovers and if you need a venue that offers different atmosphere to impress either for corporate, family or spouse.
 
 
Simple elegant menu in the 'loud' atmosphere
A very eye-catching bamboo artwork on its ceiling

This wall adornment was magnificent and it described what Skirt speciality is, the horns (?)
This was taken after dark but I couldn't helped not to take it as it was impressive when you looked up

Salt and Pepper shaker in Horn shaped

Rectangle Serving Plate..
Gotta love this homemade rosemary buns
Dungeness Crab Cocktail
It was visually attractive and for crab lovers, it was a refined crab dish made to perfection

King Prawn Split and Peppered

It was grilled perfectly with dashes of black peppered to taste but not too strong
My fave appetizer indeed
What W famous about is their attention to detail in creating perfect atmosphere and this steak cutlery was no exception
 
For salt lovers, this is the only place where you are being provided not with one but 3 types of salt and all before you even asked! I knew few salt lovers who always ask for extra salt

One was the sauce and the other was your neutralizing taste bud which you should drink before having your steak

Grilled Asparagus, Truffle Rice and Slow Cooked Egg

When it came, I gasped on its beauty
This was one of the dishes that I felt it was an art and not a meal. So beautifully presented, seemingly a simple dish but it looked opposite. It tasted heavenly too! A very very good choice for vegetarian or light main

Homemade Cut Fries that came with my steak

25-day Dry Aged Sirloin Wagyu on Medium Well
With its Red Wine and Marrow Sauce

Sautéed Portobello Mushroom
We underestimated how big Portobello mushrooms was, this portion is good for 4 pax. It was delish though and if you are a mushroom lovers, it is a Must Try!

Soursop Panna Cotta, Mojito Poached Fruit
It was pretty and it was a good choice for light dessert
This panna cotta was excellent, best I've ever tasted

This was another Art Food; beautiful to the eyes and delicious to our taste
The poached fruits were excellent and never saw anything done like this

Beautiful lighting on the centre of the room, right off the entrance

Skirt Entrance
Quite a simple by W restroom standard but loved how the orchids being displayed

Perhaps it reflects how W Sentosa Cove is located next to the sea so we have this 'wave' wash basins (?)
