Charr Dining: A Feast Forged in Fire
The Mastery of Fire
The mastery of fire is what makes each dish stand out at Charr Dining. As you step into the restaurant, the scent of smouldering wood fire wraps around you, rich and smoky, hinting at the feast to come. In the centre of the room, a long communal table faces the open kitchen, where flames flicker and crackle, casting a warm glow.
A Feast of Flavours
“We don’t have boundaries to our cuisines here. We are inspired by dishes from the Philippines, India, Thailand, and Malaysia to name a few,” chef Leong Chee Mun, Charr’s co-founder, explained.
Whether it’s a smoky, fire-kissed cut of premium meat or a delicately charred vegetable, every plate tells a story of craftsmanship and passion.
Chicken Wings with Pad Kra Pao and Fermented Hot Sauce
These aren’t your average wings. Deboned and packed with a spiced Thai-inspired chicken stuffing, each bite is a crunchy, juicy explosion of umami. The smoky char from the grill deepens the flavours. But the real kicker? The house-fermented hot sauce. A blend of cili padi, jalapeño, green chili, and red chili – charred before being transformed into liquid fire. It’s hot, it’s intense, and it’s absolutely irresistible.
Wagyu Beef Tongue
The Wagyu beef tongue steals the show. Nestled in pillowy, bite-sized naan, the slow-cooked beef tongue is meltingly tender and packed with smoky, aromatic depth. Slathered with spicy harissa yoghurt and crowned with a crispy quail egg, it’s the kind of dish you won’t stop reaching for – until you realise you’ve licked your fingers clean.
Seasonal Fish with Singapore Laksa
The seasonal fish with Singapore laksa is a stunning showcase of land and sea. Served on a large leaf, it brings a rustic, almost primal elegance to the table. The fish is fresh and flaky, absorbing the rich, fragrant laksa broth that’s bursting with Southeast Asian soul. Every spoonful is a comforting, spicy embrace, making this dish one of Charr’s undeniable highlights.
Sanchoku Wagyu
The Sanchoku Wagyu, a carnivore’s dream. Perfectly charred on the outside, blushing medium-rare at the centre, this cut is all about the balance between smoky crust and buttery tenderness. Each bite oozes with umami, proof that sometimes, all you need is fire, salt, and top-tier beef to create magic.
Lava Tart
The lava tart should be renamed ‘death by chocolate’ – it’s that good! This isn’t just dessert. It’s a full-blown chocolate experience. The crisp, buttery tart shell gives way to a molten core of dark, velvety richness, sending waves of decadence across your taste buds. A hint of salt sharpens the flavours, making every bite dangerously addictive. And the smoked vanilla ice cream gives this dessert a rich depth of flavour.
Conclusion
Charr Dining delivers a dining experience that is both primal and refined. With its breathtaking views, communal warmth, and bold, fire-driven flavours, it’s a feast forged in fire that will leave you craving for more.
