Shake up your usual dining routine and surprise your loved ones with a visit to these four new restaurants — complete with OCBC Cards to sweeten the deal.
Getting tired of the same old food haunts? Take yourself on a little adventure by trying something new. Let us do the work for you: here are five restaurants for you to Taste It First with OCBC Cards.
1. The Masses
Enjoy French food with an Asian twist at The Masses — without breaking the bank. Helmed by Saveur’s ex-owner, the restaurant keeps on its toes by revamping the menu every four months.
Even the bread and butter starter sounds exciting: choose from umami butter, caramel kaya, or maple miso butter to go with your carb base. We’re also drawn to the cold pasta with crabmeat and caviar; hamachi ‘yu seng’; and the butter-fried frog leg with a salsa verde sauce.
OCBC Cards deal: enjoy an exclusive tasting menu at $98 (U.P. $138) from now till 31 October 2022.
The Masses, #01-02, 85 Beach Road, Singapore 189694
2. iKO Restaurant & Bar

Step inside iKO Restaurant & Bar, and tumble headfirst into a Japanese wonderland. Even the decor is something to gawk at, with edgy anime posters juxtaposed against a traditional Japanese crane wall motif.
Meaning ‘let’s go’ in Japanese, iKO combines the best of Japanese and European produce. Try the tempura jalapeno; the ‘all in or nothing’ featuring chutoro, hamachi, salmon, and scallop; or even the unique negitoro ice cream served in a dainty seaweed cone.
OCBC Cards deal: enjoy 20% off selected sake from Monday to Thursday; and a 10-course tasting menu at $98 (U.P. $128) from now till 31 October 2022.

3. Ember Charcoal Grill

Look out for the new kid on the block: Ember Charcoal Grill just opened its doors not long ago, and is all set to impress. Specialising in using binchotan charcoal, the restaurant delights in adding a little zing to the usual dishes.
Start with the white venus clams in laksa broth. Next, the steak that comes with a variety of sauces, such as Sarawak black pepper sauce or foyot (a mix of meat glaze and bearnaise sauce). Finish off with the stunning creme brulee waffle, served with a caramelised banana.
