Just last Wednesday, I was invited to try out District 10 Bar & Grill's marbling & juicy steaks with Gerald and some other food bloggers.
Decked out in a MDS Collections ensemble :) I'm a MDS girl. Hehehe |
Upon reaching there, we were super impressed with District 10's contemporary yet rustic decor & interior design with its wood-crackled-fired wall panels.
With a European meat showcase and chiller (Yes, and that chiller actually cost a whopping $22,000 just to store its dry-aged meat), a bespoke butcher’s block for its cleaver-ready cuts, a fully functional show kitchen for its traditional charcoal-grill cooking and a cozy 30-seater dining space for its gourmet loyalists.
We were comfortably seated just right in front of the butcher's block, which gave us full view of Chef Luca doing at what he does best - doing the perfect cut!

I'm the BIGGEST fan of steaks, so just staring at this make me go... oooo~ |
Cutting away the fats, which can be actually eaten straight away - with a dash of salt |
You may start to wonder - what's all that fuss about dry aged meat?
A popular old practice in non-tropical cold and dry regions, butchers and gourmets discovered that dry-aged meat had a surprisingly higher concentration of natural flavors as the enzymes broke down the connective tissues in the muscles which softened and tenderized the meat.With meticulous dry-aging procedure and temperature-controlled facilities, customers will get to savor the tasty and tender goodness of the dry-aged cuts.
While we were waiting for the food to be served, we tried out its in-house cocktail - Fruits of Angel - a specially concocted cocktail consisting of homemade papaya syrup, fresh lemon juice and thyme which was super refreshing.

All in all, District 10 Bar & Grill has surpassed my expectations for its marbling, high quality yet affordable steak and even its desserts. Though nestled among the ongoing renovating stores at Suntec, the restaurant was rather full even on a weekday night.
Without doubt, I see myself coming back again - this time to try out the other dishes on their menu!
