I had the chance to attend the exclusive tasting of “Nelly Does British” by Chef Nelly Robinson at Cook & Brew, The Westin Singapore.
•
Seated by the floor-to-ceiling windows, we watched the city transform from day to night with sweeping views of Marina Bay and the Central Business District, a stunning backdrop for dinner.
•
The specially curated menu pays homage to the richness of British heritage while weaving in playful nods to Singapore’s colonial past.

Set Dinner Menu
•
Snacks
Crab Tarts – Poached crab with chili and lime, brown butter hollandaise. A flavourful start, thick and creamy with generous crab meat and a crisp tart shell.
•
Truffle Potato Dabs – Roast potato hash brown with truffle mayonnaise. Light, crispy, and a great complement to the first dish.
•
Biryani + Naan – A surprise twist: naan bread foam over biryani broth. A liquid biryani, aromatic and comforting.
•
Steak Bake Pasty – Pepperberry steak pasty with herb shortcrust. Shaped like mini curry puffs, but bursting with rich flavour.
•
Bread
English Crumpets – Sourdough crumpet with black garlic butter. The butter was gently sweet rather than overpowering. Just remember to check your smile after. 😬
•
Entrée
Kingfish Tandoori – 48-hour marinated Japanese amberjack with smoked yogurt and prawn soil. Balanced and refined.
•
Main
Beef Wellington – Slow-cooked beef cheek wrapped in pastry, served with carrots and pepper gravy. A creative take using beef cheek, with pastry that was crisp and beautifully decorated.
•
Dessert
Banoffee Pie – Banana crème, wattleseed caramel, and caramelised white chocolate. A delightful finale and one of the highlights we kept talking about after dinner.
•
A fabulous evening of nostalgic flavours and whimsical modern touches. Thank you @ for the warm hospitality.

If you’re considering a visit to Cook & Brew at The Westin Singapore, here are a few tips and highlights from my experience that might help you plan a memorable dining outing. Firstly, the ambiance is truly something special. Sitting by the floor-to-ceiling windows gave us a panoramic view of the city’s transition from day to night, adding a romantic and elegant touch to the meal. It’s an ideal setting for celebrations or simply a relaxing evening. The menu curated by Chef Nelly Robinson masterfully combines British culinary heritage with Singapore’s rich cultural influences. For instance, the biryani with naan foam surprised me with its creativity and comforting flavors. The use of local ingredients and thoughtful twists made each dish exciting without losing authenticity. One of the standout dishes was the Beef Wellington—using slow-cooked beef cheek wrapped in flaky pastry was an innovative take that delighted the palate. Also, watching how the chef incorporated truffle potato dabs and crab tarts with generous crab meat really shows the attention to detail. Don’t miss the English crumpets served with black garlic butter—a subtly sweet flavor that complements the bread perfectly. And for dessert, the banoffee pie with banana crème and wattleseed caramel was a delightful way to end the evening. I highly recommend booking in advance for special tasting menus like this, as it offers a unique chance to experience story-driven dishes by Chef Nelly Robinson. Whether you’re a foodie seeking new tastes or someone looking to savor British-inspired dishes with a Southeast Asian twist, Cook & Brew’s "Nelly Does British" tasting experience is worth exploring.
