Cook & Brew is one of the four dining venues at The Westin Singapore. It is located at level 33, which is one level above the main lobby.
It is a gastro-bar which overlooks Marina Bay and is an ideal spot to chill out after work for the nearby working crowd. The bar offers an extensive selection of fine wines and craft beers from around the world. There is both indoor and outdoor dining area, surrounding with comforty seats around with flat screen television, showing sport channel.
Most enjoy dining in the outdoor with the cool wind blowing and a nice view of the busy port.
HEIRLOOM TOMATOES & PLUMS ($17)Buttermilk and gorgonzola cheese dressing, butter curd, pecan brittle
Best enjoyed with La Chouffe beer
The strong taste of the butter curd was strangely balanced by the sweet honeyed pecan brittle. It quite peaked up one's appetite.
WHIPPED BUFFALO MILK RICOTTA ($12)Truffle honey, grilled bread
Best enjoyed with Peroni Nastro Azzurro beer
The bread was soft and buttery, having been drizzled with olive oil. Spread on with slightly sweet and milky spread, it offered another taste on the simple bread.
POLENTA & DUTCH VEAL BRISKET ($42)Milk braised veal breast, kale, glazed turnips
Best enjoyed with BrewDog Hardcore Beer
The veal was very tender and juicy, accompanied by the milky creamy polenta and the crunchy turnips.
THE MONTREAL BURGER ($34)Packs a punch with its copious amounts of house-smoked Montreal meat, made by curing beef brisket with cracked peppercorns, coriander, garlic and mustard seed over 21 days, beef patty and red onions, served with fries with Rosemary and shaved Parmesan, and Canadian mustard.
Best enjoyed with Borealis Rare Iceberg Beer
This burger was the chef's signature, but I could tell that it is a meat lover's dream with so much meat in it. As for me, I preferred the fries which I felt was better than the fries that served with the two other burgers. The fries was lightly flavoured with rosemary and topped with shaved paramesan. It smelt nice and more appetizing in taste.
BROCCOLI & BACON CHEESE BURGER ($29)A treat robust flavours; beef patty topped with creamed broccoli, double thick house-smoked maple-glazed bacon and American cheddar.
Best enjoyed with Grolsch Beer
Never had a burger with creamed broccoli. I felt that it made the burger less dry and easier to eat, when comparing to the other two burgers.
HAWKER BURGER ($32)Well-marinated char siew-style pork jowl that is sweet, slightly moist on the inside and charred on the outside, crispy pork belly, served atop a juicy beef patty, served with sambal mayonnaise, sliced green pickled chillies, and fries tossed in chilli.
Best enjoyed with Tiger Beer
It was my first time of having a burger served with pickled chilli. The burger was the chef's version of localized burger. It was quite a combination in the mouth with fatty pork belly, the slightly sweet char siew, and the spicy mayonnaise spread on the bun. Interesting explosive flavours.
Rum and Raisin ice cream Served with oreo crumbles
A simple but delightful finish to a heavy meal.
Hot Chocolate ($8)A well made drink although I wished that it could be richer in taste.
Overall the food was huge in serving and tasted great, although my jaws felt tired after all the chewing of the burger. The place was relaxing and quiet, with nice view outside. Service was fast and efficient.
