Great Lunch Steak Out
District 10 Bar & Grill, 3 Temasek Boulevard, Suntec City Mall #01-514, Singapore 038983
If you are a red meat fanatic searching for a venue to enjoy a hearty lunch with your colleagues, you might want to consider dropping by District 10 Bar & Grill for some freshly grilled steaks. This month, District 10 is offering a promotional lunch menu called the Great Lunch Steak Out. The set menu consists of a Fiorentina steak specially imported from the United States, seasoned with sea salt, pepper and extra virgin olive oil and carefully grilled over coal fire to get it done just right. Served on a platter in a large sharing portion, the tender beef seems to melt immediately into your mouth. In addition to the steak, you’ll also have the choice to top up your meal with butter lettuce salad or the soup of the day for starters, along with a side of creamy truffle mash potatoes, cherry tomatoes or sautéed creamy baby spinach. Of course, no meal is ever complete without desserts, and at District 10 you’ll only be able to find the best homemade sweet treats such as the Espresso Panna Cotta with Vanilla sauce, the Homemade Traditional Tiramisu and the ultimate classic Creme Brulee. The set lunch menu is available from Monday to Saturday, from 11.30am to 2.30pm.

Camp Kilo Charcoal Club
Kilo, 66 Kampong Bugis #01-01, Singapore 338987
The lush green leaves marking the perimeters of Camp Kilo Charcoal Club are starkly reminiscent of the small cottage in Hansel and Gretel made of cakes, candies and everything sweet. The only difference, however, is that Camp Kilo offers some of the tastiest and heartiest meats in town. Canopied along the Kallang riverside, the newly opened roast joint brings you close to nature as you enjoy its raw sights and sounds in the open and outdoor setting. Birthed by the same founders behind Kilo restaurant and Grain Traders, Camp Kilo spreads the love of roast with a whole 30kg pig cooking on its spit in the backyard of the compound, giving pork lovers an obvious reason to head down and try the freshly roasted pork belly. Besides the hearty platters of roast pork, ribs and chicken, you would also probably get excited over the range of tasty side dishes, ranging from cornbread with honey butter to tom yam “cocido” beans. Never fear going thirsty with Camp Kilo’s fun take on familiar tropical cocktails with an unexpected twist. With these hearty meats and cheeky drinks, Camp Kilo is the place to visit for a slow weekend with family and friends.
