ABBEY: We went to Morton’s, The Steakhouse at Mandarin Oriental to celebrate Wilma’s 15 years of living abroad. We arrived right at noon, and after confirming our reservation, we were promptly ushered to our table.
Once we placed our order, the famous onion bread was served along with our wine. The loaf was huge, warm, and so tempting. We couldn’t resist spreading butter on it and enjoying every bite. The wine sat untouched for a while until our ribeye steak and lamb arrived, both cooked medium-well to perfection.
The ribeye was everything I hoped for; rich, juicy, and with that melt-in-your-mouth fat that makes every bite blissful. The lamb had its own character, slightly gamey but in a delicious way, especially when paired with the flavorful gravy, a sip of wine, and side dishes like macaroni and cheese and creamy mashed potatoes.
Morton’s made sure the dining experience was truly special. They surprised us with a portrait and a card, followed by a lemon soufflé. The soufflé was light, velvety, and incredibly good. I couldn’t stop eating even though I was already full from the steak.
Just when we thought our meal was over, the team handed us another onion bread to take home, knowing how much we loved it. It was such a thoughtful gesture that capped off a remarkable lunch. Our tummies were full, and our hearts even fuller.

| Is Morton’s the Best Steakhouse in Singapore — and Is It Worth the Splurge? |
WILL: Time — the one resource we never get back. And yet, herewe are, quietly celebrating my 15th year in Singapore, grateful for everything this city has given me. Abbey and I always make it a point to celebrate our milestones, and for this big one… we finally said, “Sige na, let’s splurge. Deserve natin yan.” 😝
And when our career/lovelife mentors recommended Morton’s Steakhouse, we knew this would be the perfect place.
Morton’s doesn’t rely on Marina Bay views to impress. In fact, it’s fully enclosed — and that turned out to be such a blessing.No distractions. No flashy skyline. Just you, your dinner, and the person you chose to share this moment with.
The lighting is mellow, the atmosphere calming, and the table arrangements are thoughtfully spaced. Everything is elegant without being intimidating. I call it peace.
From the complimentary onion bread to the final spoonful of dessert, Morton’s shows a kitchen that knows exactly what it’s doing — no theatrics, no gimmicks, just solid culinary confidence.
The Famous Onion Bread
Huge, warm, fragrant — and actually good. The texture isn’t too airy, and the butter melts into all the right spots. It kept us happy while waiting for the mains. (Yes, they gave us an extra one to bring home. My love language? Free bread.)
Rack of Lamb (S$128)
Perfectly cooked, no “lamby” smell, no odd aftertaste — just tender, juicy meat that stands on its own. This is the kind of dish that doesn’t need a long introduction. I would call it “mastery in execution.”
Add a glass of wine (S$28) and you’re set.
The mashed potatoes and mac & cheese are not extraordinary — but that’s the point. They’re comforting, balanced, and made to support the star of the show.
But the real surprise?
The complimentary soufflé. Generous, cloud-like, lightly sweet — unexpectedly impressive for something free.
Morton’s goes beyond good food. They handed us a free photo print to capture our celebration — a small but meaningful touch that made the night feel personal. Moments like these remind you why certain restaurants earn their reputation.
Thank you, Morton’s Steakhouse Singapore, for the impeccable service, the exceptional meal, and yes… the extra onion bread. You definitely made our 15th year extra special.
