District 10 Bar and Grill @ Suntec City |
District
10 Bar and Grill, the new outlet by Bonta group that recently joined
the line up of 3 other District 10 restaurants specialising in Best
Dry Aged Meat.

For those
who are not familiar with Dry Aged Meat, it is the process used in
ageing meat in a control temperature. Through the ageing process, the
liquid from the meat will evaporate, connective tissue in the meat
will slowly break down resulting a more intense and succulent a
steak.

We
started the meal with our favourite burrata cheese. Puglia Burrata
with Organic Cherry Tomato and Basil Bruschetta ($26). The burrata is
creamy, think, subtle and melts in your mouth. It is nicely pair with
the rocket salad and sweet cherry tomatoes. The balsamic vinaigrette
does well to neutralise the richness of the burrata. A good start to
the meal, it will be better with more tomatoes.

Together
with the salad, we were served complimentary sun-dried tomato
homemade bread, to be dipped with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The
bread has a crispy crust, soft, slightly dense centre part, infused
with the sun-dried tomato.

Our main
meal was 600 gram of 45 days Home Dry Aged Corn Fed US Prime OP Rib
($20 per 100 gram). Cooked nicely to medium rare as per ordered
finished off with sprinkle of rock salt. At first sight, you can see
the meat has a dark bloody red colour due to the dry aged. We also
notice that it looks slightly dry, absent of any excess meat jus. The
outer part is slightly charred, however the meat is still tender and
after a few bites it will slowly dissipate in your mouth. Yum Yum!
But if you like you steak juicy, bouncy with beautiful marbling, dry
aged steak might not be for you.

For the
sauce we choose red wine sauce and salt infused herb. We find the salt infused herb more suitable with the steak.

Sides to
go with the steak Rosemary and Garlic Fries ($10) and Sautéed Cream
Baby Spinach ($10). Fries was crisp on the outside while moist in the
inside. The fries are subtly infused with garlic and rosemary
flavour. The baby spinach was nicely cooked, not soggy, creamy with a
hint of bitterness. Finished off with a few shavings of parmesan
cheese for flavour.

Dessert
was Crème Brulee ($16). The crème was solid, slightly dense with a
good creaminess to it. The crisp top of the crème brulee at
District 10 uses fine brown sugar instead of coarse brown sugar.
Resulting the caramel part thinner, and you don't get that satisfying
crack when you dig into the crème burlee. It is simply lack of the
shiokness.

As
District 10 is also a bar, you definitely can get your type of drinks
here. I ordered Virgin Mojito ($10) to end the meal. It provide a
bitter refreshing taste to end the meal.

Located
outside Tower 2, District 10 has two seating area, indoor and
outdoor. The indoor seating is very small and can only accommodate up
to 35 pax only. The dining setting look a bit like a modern butchery
with dark wooden furniture. Instead of using table cloth, it uses
white paper to cover the table, with District 10 logo chopped on it.

Overall,
it was an unique experience dining at District 10 @ Suntect City. The
Dry Aged Beef sure taste different compare to our normal steak. If
you ask me to choose, I still prefer my bloody and juicy rib eye with
lots of marbling. However, it is good to try something different from
time to time. Cheers!!
