One Fattened Calf delivers a truly satisfying burger experience for those seeking quality and flavor in every bite. Their burgers are crafted with premium grass-fed beef and served on freshly baked toasted potato buns, ensuring a solid foundation for each creation.

The OFC Butterburger was the standout for me. If you’re a fan of buttery flavors, this burger is an indulgence you won’t want to miss. The 150g beef patty was perfectly juicy, complemented by the richness of the grass-fed butter. The charred onions, raw onions, and house-made pickles added layers of texture and tang, balancing the butter’s decadence.

The OFC Cheeseburger was equally impressive, featuring the same premium patty with the addition of melted cheddar cheese. The OFC special sauce elevated the burger with its unique tangy and savory notes, tying all the ingredients together beautifully.

The sides were just as enjoyable. The truffle fries were crispy, well-seasoned, and carried a delightful truffle aroma that wasn’t overpowering. The cheese fries, on the other hand, were a gooey, cheesy delight that felt like the ultimate comfort food.

Bistecca’s atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between elegant and cozy, making it a fantastic spot for special occasions or indulgent meals. The attentive staff provided impeccable service, ensuring every detail was catered to with a smile.

The Fiorentina, a 900g T-bone steak, was the highlight of the evening. Grilled to perfection, it was served medium-rare with a beautifully pink center, bursting with smoky charred flavors. Tender and juicy, this signature cut truly lived up to its reputation.

The squid ink pasta was a seafood lover’s dream. The lobster and prawn were succulent and fresh, while the uni butter added a luxurious umami kick. Confit tomatoes and fennel balanced the dish with bright, refreshing notes.

Ending the meal on a sweet note, the Dolcione dessert platter offered a delightful trio. The vanilla panna cotta was creamy and smooth, paired wonderfully with a tart berry compote and a crispy pistachio tuille. The sticky date pudding was rich and comforting, elevated by macadamias, toffee sauce, and brown butter pecan gelato. Finally, the torta al cioccolato delivered decadence with velvety Valrhona chocolate, Piedmont hazelnuts, salted caramel, and vanilla gelato.

The ribs are incredibly tender, falling off the bone with every bite.

The Fish & Chips are equally satisfying, featuring firm, fresh sea bass coated in a crisp, golden batter and paired perfectly with citrusy coleslaw and fries. A classic dish done with excellence.

The Legendary Nachos add to the indulgence, with crispy tortilla chips layered with black beans and queso, topped with fresh pico de gallo, spicy jalapeños, melted Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, pickled red onions, green onions, and a dollop of lime crema.

The meal started with the Hyogo Creamy Oysters, which were impressively fresh, plump, and bursting with flavor—an excellent way to whet the appetite. The Salmon Cube Taré followed, delivering a delicate texture with a balanced glaze that enhanced its natural richness.

The House Caesar Salad with Chicken was light and refreshing, offering a simple yet satisfying contrast to the heartier dishes. Meanwhile, the House Creamy Mushroom Soup paired with bread brought a comforting depth of flavor with its earthy richness.

Moving to the mains, the star of the show was the 100g A5 Tenderloin. Grilled to a perfect medium-rare, the tenderloin’s luxurious, melt-in-the-mouth texture and deep umami flavor left a lasting impression. While the 400g Bone-in Australian OP Rib was well-prepared and flavorful, it couldn’t quite match the sheer indulgence of the tenderloin.

The sides rounded out the meal perfectly. The Charr'd Corn Elote was a pleasant surprise, delivering bold flavors that exceeded expectations—a standout new dish on their menu. The Truffle Parmesan Fries were equally satisfying, staying crisp throughout and carrying a strong, unmistakable truffle aroma that complemented the mains beautifully.

Tanglin Cookhouse offers a festive menu with a mix of traditional and modern dishes, some of which truly shine.

The Borscht Soup was a comforting start, with its tangy base enriched by creamy sour cream. The pork ham added depth, and the toasted bread was a delightful accompaniment.

The Pepper Crusted Duck & Orange Salad featured balanced flavors, with peppery duck, sweet orange vinaigrette, and textural contrasts from walnuts, cranberries, and feta cheese. While refreshing, it wasn’t the most memorable dish of the meal.

The Roasted Turkey Roulade was average. The turkey itself was slightly dry, though the cranberry jam and onion gravy helped. The Yorkshire pudding and roasted vegetables were the stronger elements, offering a touch of festive tradition.

The Irish Guinness Braised Beef Cheek was the highlight. Incredibly tender, it melted in the mouth, though the Guinness flavor could have been more prominent. The smooth potato mousseline and tangy braised red cabbage complemented the dish beautifully, making it the standout plate.

For dessert, the Warm Christmas Pudding hit all the right festive notes with its moist texture and decadent sticky toffee sauce, paired with creamy vanilla ice cream. The Christmas Biscoff Tiramisu was equally indulgent, with bold chocolate and espresso flavors elevated by the spiced sweetness of Biscoff. Its large portion size makes it great for sharing or savoring alone.

We started off with the seasonal Pecan Pie Crazyshake, and it was a true showstopper. The vanilla-frosted rim, adorned with Texas glazed pecans, was a sweet introduction to this indulgent treat. Topped with a slice of pecan pie, whipped cream, and a decadent caramel drizzle, it was a delightful dessert that satisfied both the eyes and the palate. It’s definitely a shareable dish—if you can bear to part with it!

Next up were the Korean BBQ wings. I was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful they were, perfectly cooked with a sticky glaze that had just the right amount of kick. They stood out as one of the evening’s highlights, showcasing a nice balance of sweet and savory.

However, the Guaca & Chips didn’t quite hit the mark. While not bad, it felt a bit average compared to the other dishes. The guacamole lacked the vibrant flavor I expected, and the chips were simply a vehicle for it rather than a standout component.

The star of the show was undoubtedly the Wagyu Steakhouse Burger. Juicy and flavorful, it came topped with cheese, bacon, and crispy onions, creating a perfect harmony of textures and tastes. The giant onion rings on the side were a fantastic accompaniment—crispy, golden, and absolutely addictive.
