Moving on to the meatier side of things, Marble 8 is the group's headlining steak specialist that is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year. This Michelin Selected steakhouse prides itself on its prime cuts of meat and its team's
skills on the grills. Taking centre stage is its selection of dry-aged beef—the pride of the restaurant—that are treated in a custom-built dry-ageing cellar. You'll be spoilt for choice with its menu's offerings that include a
slew of high-quality Wagyu and Angus beef—which are imported from a family-owned farm in Australia—lining its pages. As one would expect, any meal here would be incomplete without a steak on the table such as its tenderloin on
the bone or Tomahawk with gold leaf for some extra opulence. For anyone at the table who would prefer a non-steak main, its Wagyu beef burger is also a crowd favourite.
