Scoring a smoking-hot deal with Fat Belly’s refreshed 7-course Tasting Menu, the exclusive Alternative Steak Experience, is currently at $80/pax but with #burpplebeyond the price is set for 2.

Hence, a perfect end to the string of appetisers, The Bikini and Beef Char Siew were simply crowd-pleasers. Think homemade Wagyu Bak Kwa sandwiched between lightly toasted bread and warm gooey Emmental cheese. It does resemble our favourite CNY treat but was also a finer variation in my opinion as the meat was wondrous soft and packed a more robust punch. While the latter offered extra bite, and is prepared with strips of beef found between the ribs. Flame-grilled to give it that charred caramelised crust, the meat was first marinated in asian spices which seems to impart a slight sweetness. Carried in a bed of crisp kale, the char siew had a pleasant smoky quality and was not cloying at all.
