From its bold, oversized installations hanging from the ceiling and the open kitchen in the middle of the restaurant to the beef-themed details on your tableware, this restaurant at W Sentosa – Sentosa Cove is very stylishly decked out. It’s also nicely countered with friendly, unaffected service that makes the dining experience a very relaxing and enjoyable one.

As part of the W brand which expounds a playful cocktail culture, you can expect cleverly conceptualised drinks at SKIRT, such as Penicillin. Think honey, lemon juice and fresh ginger, fortified with a good dose of bourbon and topped with aromatic Jagermeister. Unusual wines feature on its wine list. But the raison d’etre of Skirt is its premium aged steaks that are priced by the kilogram. The star is its Cape Grim tomahawk 30-day-dry-aged beef which is tender, delicately flavoured and best enjoyed medium rare.

Another recommended option is the full blood wagyu Sher SKIRT steak grilled to perfection on the parilla grill, at 350 degrees Celsius with maple and hickory wood. For an interesting starter, try the pressed laksa octopus. The octopus is cured in laksa and served with Hainan sauce, compressed watermelon, yuzu cucumber and spiced mango gel. Desserts here are well worth busting your calorie quota for——have the rich Dulce de Leche ice cream encased in dark chocolate shells, and the banana “pizza”.
