Butcher’s Block: 2024 Spring menus spotlighting local harvests
Butcher’s Block brings the farm to the table. A tribute to helming chef Jordan Keao’s native Hawai’ian heritage, the refreshed Spring menus celebrate nature’s best through harvests straight from the restaurant’s local farm – just as Chef Jordan would at his home island of Hawai’i.
Through a new partnership with Singaporean indoor vertical farm, farmd, what is required – and with no excess – is grown on Butcher’s Block’s very own plot, just kilometres away from the restaurant. The farm presents bright flavours of pesticide-free seasonal bounty of the restaurant’s preference all year round, cultivated with a hybrid horticulture method combining hydroponics with untouched peat.
From French radishes to Asian bok choy and microherbs, a mix of vibrant local harvests enhances the dishes in the refreshed IMUA tasting and a la carte menus. And with lunch service now extended to the weekends, guests have more reasons to enjoy the Butcher’s Block experience.
In the spirit of ohana or family in Hawai’ian, partake in a communal meal of a la carte creations, great for sharing amongst family and friends. Enjoy the expanded ‘Chef’s Prime Selection’ of large format beef from Rangers Valley in New South Wales, Australia, or luxuriate in the highly marbled and umami-forward Rangers Valley Full-blood Wagyu OP Rib; and the Dry-aged Full-Blood Wagyu OP Rib. The à la carte menu also offers an abundance of dishes featuring the locally farmed vegetables and herbs.
The IMUA tasting menu ($168++ for five- course lunch, $218++ for six-course dinner) is an invitation to indulge.
