Steak is a classic choice for dates, so recreate the experience of going to a steak restaurant at home with Bedrock Bar & Grill’s offerings.

We like the variety, so you and your partner can enjoy a little bit of everything with this order.
Those feeling fancier can order the Steak & Wine Table Menu ($319.93), where you get two starters, two mains, two sides, and a bottle of wine.

If your preferences for steak lean more Japanese, then treat your date to a meal from Fat Cow. The restaurant has made a name for itself thanks to its wagyu offerings, namely its donburi bowls, such as their 21 Days Dry-Aged Nagasaki A5 Wagyu Premium Donburi ($147.66). As the only don bowl in Singapore to be made with dry-aged Japanese wagyu beef, this indulgent dish is made extra atas with ikura, foie gras, and an onsen egg. For something more wallet-friendly, you can instead opt for the Fat Cow Donburi ($51.36), topped with charcoal-grilled and truffle oil, or their Wagyu Yaki Udon ($40.66), where stir-fried udon noodles is upgraded with a wagyu steak.
Fat Cow also has shabu-shabu, sukiyaki, and yakiniku sets to spruce up your date with a bit of a DIY element. Sets start from $179.96, and feed one to two people. Naturally, these come with wagyu beef, and other premium Japanese ingredients.
