The Experience you Must Get at One Farrer Hotel & Spa

Farm & Market to Table? One Farrer Hotel & Spa offers this!

at Origins of Food @ One Farrer Hotel & Spa

Farm to Table and Market to Table are the complete culinary experiences that get us to understand food at its most fundamental and being able to enjoy vegetables or fruits directly from a tree, vine or plant. This was essentially the fundamental concept for the development of Origins of Food, a technology-enabled food studio and specialty retail facility that offers interactive cooking demonstrations and classes conducted by the hotel’s chefs, visiting culinary professionals, as well as home cooks.

the on-site farm @ One Farrer Hotel & Spa

To support this concept, an area for a small herb and spice garden was originally planned. However, as it began to take shape, it became apparent that having an “operating farm” would not only support the Origins of Food concept, but can allow in-hotel residents, as well as Singapore based patrons on how herbs, spices, vegetables and fruits are grown and how to incorporate them into the exciting culinary experiences. The Farm at One Farrer was thus born and soon became an important link in the Farm to Table and Market to Table concepts at One Farrer Hotel & Spa.

spot the fruits!

Currently, there are more than 65 varieties of edible plants, herbs, spices, fruits & vegetables that are being grown within the 11,000 sq ft. farm and orchard. The farm supplies these produces to Origins of Food, as well as other F&B outlets in the hotel premise.

herbs & spices at The Farm too!

Vast supply of the herbs and spices to meet the Hotel’s demands and also good for sales at their Origins of Food retail area, along with a hand selected array of Singapore/regional specialty foods and culinary enabling products.

marketing time! at tekka wet market

As a natural progression, in addition to the above Farm to Table programme, they formulated the brand new Market to Table experience. As part of the Cooking Project series of cooking demonstrations, classes and experiences, One Farrer take each Saturday morning (other days by appointment only) of up to 12 persons at a time on an excursion to the neighbouring Tekka Market. Tekka Market is one of the few remaining truly Asian wet markets left in Singapore.

While at the market, the participants will be introduced to the favourite purveyors, some whose companies and families have been selling at the market for between 25 to 40 years. The guides will assist the participants to understand the marketing process, including on how to source the freshest food items, as well as gaining new insight on incorporating local fresh & seasonal items into their often hectic schedules.

back to the Cooking Studio!

Once back at the Origins of Food – Food Studio, the aprons are put on and everyone learns the techniques of creating good food: food that is good to look at, tastes good and is good for you… a truly Market to Table experience!

can iSteaks to you? mooooo yessss

Great crowds, prices & food. Totally enjoyable!

I’m astonished by the crowd at iSteaks Diner Holland Village when I was passing by during a non meal period. Curiosity got me and I decided to dine with them. I’m glad I did.

iSteaks Diner started as a humble stall in a coffeeshop selling western grills. Business bloomed and they seized the opportunity to expand. They are now located at Holland Village & Serangoon Gardens MyVillage in a well ventilated & air conditioned restaurant.

The interior radiates casual vibe

The ambiance here is of functional simplicity since they focus on self-service concept. Diners will pick, order and make payment of the meal at the main counter and purchase beverages at the another. Thereafter, proceed to make collection of the utensils and get themselves a table. Orders will be served so diners can sit back to relax and wait for the yummies.

The yummy spread 

Get huge portion western grills where each main is accompanied by 2 sides. Good grill selections such as chicken, pork, lamb, fish and beef are being offered while burgers, bites & pastas are being served too.

Interestingly, they have introduced dry aged beef to their menu recently with australian angus 200 days grain-fed striploin & age it for a good 45+ days.

How different does this taste from your normal beef? I had mine at medium rare and it was really excellent! The dry aged beef is more tender than the normal one, with intense beef flavor. Smell of it is almost buttery with slight toasty aftertaste. Every single cut of it flows flavorful au jus.

A full portion 300gm dry aged beef with 2 complements is available at $51 nett. You can also find striploin, tenderloin, ribeye and even porterhouse (starting from $17.50 to $49 nett).

The menu

The complements for the main are of generous serving and pretty delicious too. My favorites among them are the creamy spinach, onion rings & sautéed brussels.

Although iSteaks Diner majors in their steaks, other meats are also well received since they are tasty, substantial and low in prices.

I’ll be back for more of their grills and this could probably be the reason why many patrons are returning customers.

JUICY!
