Savor the Unexpected: FBG’s Exotic Steak Cuts & Addictive Sides at Serene Centre

FBG’s Fresh Take on Steak

Let’s Face It: A Steak Isn’t Just About Signs on the Pack

What Makes a Cut Great? A5 Wagyu Is No Match for Everyday Gold

Some folks will brag about marbling scores or the bloodline of a cow, but the secret sauce is actually lurking in every part of the animal. Whether it’s the legendary tenderness of a filet mignon or the rich, buttery flavor of a ribeye, every steak can be a star if it’s cooked right.

Why FBG (formerly Fat Belly) Is Your New Go‑To Spot

Located just a stone’s throw from the Botanic Gardens, FBG has moved past its old name in a splash of fresh branding and a new menu that lives or dies by its unique cuts.

Executive Chef Victor Loy – Chef of the year in Singapore, with a background in European kitchens, brings a dash of global finesse.
Specialty cuts that you won’t find on most menus: try a rib jacket or a brisket tip if you’re feeling bold.
Fresh sides that are perfectly balanced with the meat — a star‑fruit salsa or a smoky roasted sweet potato.
Decadent desserts that close out the evening on a high note — think chocolate fondant or a fruit coulis.

Daytime Meets Nighttime: The Sandwich Between Coffee and Steak

Morning perks of the Elixir Boutique Roasters are plus one for FBG tomorrow night. The décor will shift from a cozy, coffee‑shop vibe to a sleek, warm‑lit steakhouse. Long wooden tables, under soft lights, set the stage for a relaxed yet stylish atmosphere that makes you glad you walked in.

So, Where Should You Start?

Think of it as a secret treasure chest: aside from the known stars like Wagyu, the real fun begins if you explore the less famous cuts. A good steak is a revelation, especially when served in a place that cares as much about taste as it does about presentation.

Grab a table, let the chef do his magic, and leave your doubts at the doorstep. You’ll end up with a steak experience that is, to use a phrase from the article, “pure satisfaction.”

Night of Nibbles & Feasts

Starters That Set the Stage

Chopped Caesar ($14)

Tender lettuce kissed by a tequila‑anchovy drizzle – a zesty burst of freshness that makes you wish the salad weren’t the only part that could get a good swim.
Crunchy ham flakes sprinkle a salty pop like tiny fireworks, keeping the flavor fireworks going.

Roasted Hokkaido Scallops ($18)

The scallops come out looking sweet and smug, like a tiny octopus on a vacation.
They’re perched on a light chickpea salsa and smothered with a rich hollandaise that says, “We’re fancy, God, but we’re still here for you.”

The Because‑We‑Taste‑A‑Little‑Too‑Good‑Option

Fried Camembert Cheese ($17)

Golden, gooey cheese that traps a sweet truffle honey. Sweet like a hug from your grandma, but hold on…
Hit the jalapeño jackpot – pickled jalapeño shards crunch like fireworks, bringing a hot kick that’ll have you checking if your shirt needs a fire extinguisher.
Everything’s so good you might wonder whether it’s the cheese or the vibe that’s the real VIP.

Be careful – one bite and you’re on a flavor rollercoaster that could spell doom for the steaks that are heading up next. Enjoy the trip, but maybe hold off on the cheese if you want to keep your night ending on a tasteful, not after‑taste‑induced, note.

Our Ultimate Steak Throwdown

Let’s face it, the steaks delivered a full‑blown picnic of flavor… and we’re all fans of a good grillout.

2GR Full‑Blood Wagyu Denver MS‑6/7 ($62)

Imagine a beefy punch‑in‑your-plate that twirls in a subtle malt‑like note. This Aussie‑bred steak is the real deal—juicy, fatty, and guaranteed to be finished by any steak aficionado out there.
Jack’s Creek F1 Wagyu Deckle MS‑4/5 ($58)

Short‑stop marbling, but don’t let that fool you! The fat content is bulging with melt‑in‑your-mouth goodness that brings you close to classic A5 wow‑factor. Tastes like a no‑frills all‑star dinner.
Rioplatense Argentinian Grass‑Fed Ribeye ($48)

Sweet, tender, and earning its name. Yet, if you expect a robust flavor punch, this gem might under‑deliver. One chew and you feel the smoky boom, but that’s about it.

And you know what? The Omega‑shack of these dishes were a bookshelf of fresh house‑made Bordelaise sauce ($4) that turns a plain steak into a flavor fiesta. A little umami goes a long way, folks!

Beyond the Stars: A Deep‑Dive Into FBG’s Flavor‑Fest

We usually focus on the main course, but here at FBG the side dishes deserve a standing‑up applause. Picture this: Fried Brussels Sprouts on a $14 bill swooping in like a superhero capable of turning even the most hardcore meat lover into a veggie enthusiast.

Fried Brussels Sprouts – The Crunchy Hero

House‑made garum caramel glaze turns each sprout into a salty‑sweet, crispy‑on‑the‑outside, tender‑on‑the‑inside masterpiece.
One bite and you’ll wonder why you ever pre‑tended to keep your diet straight‑edge.

Pomme Puree – The Smooth Operator

At $10, this buttery, silky side isn’t just a filler—it sets the gold standard for steak accompaniments. Think of it as the velvet rope that invites every dish to join the party.

Combining Sauces & Sides for a Symphonic Bite

If you’re still rocking the Bordelaise, pair it with the hearty potato covers for a truly epic saga. Meanwhile, the char‑kissed Grilled Broccolini at $14 slices through the richness, while the anchovy‑yazed emulsion adds a dash of mild spice that keeps everything balanced.

Sweet Finale – Desserts That Dance

Stan’s Tiramisu ($14): Infused with house‑roasted coffee, this Italian classic gets a caffeine‑boosted makeover, making the mascarpone feel like it’s off a espresso‑lift.
New York Cheesecake ($16): Classic vibes with wild‑strawberry compote. Too sweet? You might find it a tad heavy if you’re craving a lighter bite.
Burnt Chocolate Mousse ($16): A thrilling tango of yuzu sorbet and tofu‑crafted dark chocolate mousse—surely a conversation starter.
