New Ubin Zhongshan Park

Opening its third outlet on the island and first hotel restaurant, New Ubin Group is quickly solidifying itself as Singapore's zi char king. It's built a reputation of serving hearty local favourites as well as some unexpected creations you wouldn't usually find at your typical heartland joint. Its most famous dish is the USDA Black Angus ‘Choice’ Rib-Eye (from $80/500g) served medium-rare with caramelised onions, potato wedges and various sauces but you definitely need to have it with New Ubin's signature Heart Attack Fried Rice, which is fried with beef drippings. Aside from its star creation, other must-tries include the Foie Gras Egg Special ($10.50), pan-seared foie gras served with soft boiled eggs sprinkled with truffle salt; mud crabs (from $48/400g) baked with copious amounts of garlic; as well as the Boss Bee Hoon ($12), a wok hei bomb of just three simple ingredients: rice vermicelli, egg and chye sim.
