New bites & sips to check out in Singapore in March 2026

With the Chinese New Year festivities wrapping up last month, Singapore’s dining scene has moved on to its next wave of menus. Some spots are rolling out seasonal offerings in time for Hari Raya Puasa, while others are refreshing its menus with new brunch offerings, and there’s even a new cocktail menu at a culture-forward bar to boot.  

Whether you’re in the mood for something hearty, celebratory, or simply new, there’s plenty to check out across the island, whether it’s seasonal specials, Mediterranean spreads, or woodfire-grilled burgers. 

Here are some of the newest bites and sips to try around Singapore this March:

1. Audi x Burnt Ends Bakery

In case you didn’t know, the sleek Audi House of Progress showroom at Cross Street has more than just cars — it’s also home to Audi x Burnt Ends Bakery. Helmed by the team behind one-Michelin starred barbecue concept Burnt Ends, the bakery, which runs in partnership with Audi, is marking its first anniversary with a refreshed menu.

The new line-up leans into German-inspired flavours — inspired by the automotive brand’s origin — with several items exclusive to the Cross Street outlet.

If you love savoury, go for the Bavarian sausage and onion (S$14) sourdough topped with grilled Bavarian sausage on a toasted sourdough, seed mustard, and red-wine onion. There’s also the hearty Black Forest ham and pretzel sandwich ($18), layered with smoked ham, sauerkraut, cheddar, and gouda.

The sweets are where things get especially tempting, drawing on old favourites and giving them a richer spin. Highlights include the Black forest cruffin (S$12), filled with dark chocolate cream and Kirsch brandy-soaked cherries, and the spiced apple strudel cake (S$10) with cinnamon apple compote and Biscoff cream cheese frosting.

There are lighter bakes in the mix, too, such as the German waffles (S$6) and apple rum and raisin escargot (S$8).

2. Fireplace by Bedrock’s wood-fire burgers

Fireplace by Bedrock, the casual yet stylish offshoot of the award-winning Bedrock Bar & Grill brand, has launched a new lunch menu — giving the classic burger meal an exciting flame-grilled spin.

It’s available daily, except Sundays, from 12pm to 3pm, with a line-up of burgers cooked over Fireplace’s signature wood-fire grill.

Highlights include the Fireplace Ultimate burger (from S$24), stacked with an Australian wagyu patty, grilled pineapple and hot honey ranch, and the Campfire burger (from S$20), a more classic wagyu cheeseburger.

More playful options include the Piggy Stack (from S$18) with pork belly jam and Dirty Duck (from S$22) with smoked duck.

We’d also suggest topping up S$6.50 for a half-portion side — and opting for the white corn ribs or duck fat potato — and a drink. End it off with desserts such as the nostalgic Old School Milo banana (from S$11),

3. Bedrock Bar & Grill’s latest Steak & Frites at Luncheon

Craving a classic steak-and-fries meal? The Bedrock Bar & Grill in Orchard, a long-standing steakhouse known for its premium cuts, is introducing a new weekday lunch special, built around this timeless pairing. Its Steak Frites at Luncheon menu is available from Monday to Thursday, 12pm to 3pm, from S$68 per person.

It starts with Bedrock’s signature flatbread and a garden salad, before the main event, your choice of steak: The 120-day corn-fed ribeye or 100-day grain-fed striploin, both grilled over the restaurant’s signature applewood fire and served with black pepper and cafe de Paris sauces. The special menu ends with a flambe sea salt brownie with vanilla ice cream, finished tableside.

Throughout the meal, Bedrock serves up its truffle Parmesan fries and grilled baby gem salad free-flow, making this deal an even more value-for-money endeavour.

If you happen to be a March baby or know someone who is one, those celebrating their birthday month can even enjoy a complimentary Steak Frites set (from S$68).

4. Noa’s refreshed menu led by chef Marti Martinez

Mediterranean Noa Lounge by Olivia, located at Duxton, is known for its chic setting and southern European–Levantine influences. It recently brought in a new executive head chef, Michelin-trained Marti Carlos Martinez, and has also introduced a new menu while at it. 

Under his direction, the menu takes on a more focused, ingredient-led approach, with dishes drawing inspiration from Spain, Italy, Greece, and the wider Mediterranean.

Highlights include shareable plates such as the falafel (S$16) with za’atar yoghurt and tahini, and the Noa bomba (S$18 for two pieces), a deep-fried potato ball filled with spiced beef and finished with brava sauce and aioli.

For something heartier, there’s the beef kebab (S$42), served medium-rare with yoghurt aioli and tahini mustard, alongside seafood dishes such as roasted black cod with green mojo picon (S$49) and the comforting Argentinian prawn rice (S$42), cooked in a rich seafood stock.

Round things off with the tiramisu (S$15), served in a martini glass with savoiardi biscuits, coffee, and almond liqueur — a fittingly indulgent finish to the Mediterranean spread.

Check out the rest of the chef Marti Martinez’s new menu at Noa.

5. Mosella’s refreshed Saturday buffet brunch

If you have weekend plans in town, why not feast on Mediterranean fare? Mosella at Pan Pacific Orchard, loved for its convivial Mediterranean fare, is switching up its Saturday Mediterranean brunch, turning the weekend treat into a more extensive spread of grilled meats, seafood, and desserts.

The brunch runs from 12.30pm to 3pm on Saturdays, and is priced at S$128 per adult and S$64 for children aged eight to 12 (inclusive of soft drinks, coffee, and tea). Free-flow alcoholic beverage packages, starting from S$65, are available as add-ons, too.

Expect a mix of Mediterranean staples and hot stations, with dishes such as Catalan fideua negra con Galician pulpo (Spanish pasta made with vermicelli noodles, squid ink, seafood stock, and squid), Josper-grilled octopus, and Boston lobster done Thermidor-style. At the carving station, heartier options include the kangaroo medallions and wagyu tri-tip MS6/7.

Save some space for dessert — the brunch wraps with Singapore’s largest cheese-inspired dessert display, according to the folks at Mossella, alongside a live Valrhona chocolate raclette with Spanish churros station.

6. The Elephant Room’s new cocktail menu

Well into its seventh year (and 2300-something-th day, according to the bar’s running tally), Tanjong Pagar cocktail bar The Elephant Room has launched its sixth menu — bringing more of the vibrant, culture-forward cocktails it’s known for, alongside new ghee hot-dog buns. For those unfamiliar, the bar builds its menu around the Little India enclave, sourcing many of its ingredients from the area.

Its latest menu — the first in almost two years — still leans big on flavour, but introduces them in a more approachable way, so even if you’re not so familiar with the herbs and spices used, the drinks remain easy to enjoy.

Take the Rajini (S$28), named after one of bar owner Yugnes Susela’s favourite Indian actors. It pairs jackfruit distillate and black pepper with Chivas Crystal Gold, a smooth blended whisky. I’m a fan of neither jackfruit nor Chivas, but the result is almost floral and deceptively light on the palate.

The ghee sour (S$27) is another standout. Though ghee — a clarified butter commonly used in Indian cooking — is often associated with heaviness, the bar flips that perception here, combining it with ghee-washed gin, ghee syrup, yoghurt whey, and a touch of sandalwood for a cocktail that’s light, yet gently buttery and savoury.

The Elephant Room has also kept some of its classics, but refreshed them for more balance and to incorporate new techniques, including the floral gin concoction Jothi’s Flower Shop (S$28) and the crustacean-inspired Crab Rassam tequila (S$29). 

But if there’s one old favourite to revisit, it’s the Briyani (S$29), now informally dubbed “version 2.0”, topped with a pani puri garnish filled with butter chicken foam. We heard 7-Eleven’s well-loved butter chicken briyani was the inspiration behind this tweak, so if you love the former, you’ll want to get a taste of this new-old drink. 

If that bite isn’t enough, the refreshed food menu features garlic-ghee hotdog buns (from S$13 for a tofu dog, to S$17 for a lamb dog) with your choice of protein. Served with spiced fries and a choice of one sauce — including options such as butter chicken, pineapple achar ketchup, and curry aioli — they make a fitting pairing for the drinks. Get the sauce flight (S$6), to try any three sauces, you won’t regret it. 

7. KFC’s limited-time kicap manis chicken

KFC Singapore is muscling in on the Ramadan specials, too, with an all-new smoky kicap manis line-up — a sweet-savoury twist on its beloved fried chicken — available until April 7.

Its signature hot & crispy chicken (from S$4.80) and wings (from S$2.95 for two), comes coated with a glossy sauce, and is topped with fried shallots and green onions for a fragrant crunch.

Plan to go all in, and grab them for the fam’? There are bundled options, too: The smoky kecap manis chicken box (from S$13.80) and wings box (from S$12.50) come with tenders, whipped potato, fries and a drink, while the Buddy Meal (from S$23.95) and Family Feast (from S$44.95) scale things up for sharing — perfect for festive gatherings.

Sauce lovers can even pick up a portable 300g smoky kecap manis sauce bottle (from S$6.95) — a fun keepsake to take the sticky-sweet sauce wherever you go.

8. McDonald’s returning sweet paprika burgers

Following its “lohei” box and Prosperity plushies for Chinese New Year, McDonald’s has rolled out another round of limited-time bites worth checking out — its beloved sweet paprika burgers, available till April 7.

Leading the line-up are the new sweet paprika burgers (a la carte single S$7.90, a la carte double S$10.70), featuring a crispy paprika-spiced chicken patty with tangy Cajun mayo. Diners can choose between a crispy chicken bacon version for a savoury punch, or one with egg and cheese for a richer bite.

If you’re after a snack, try the new spicy chicken tenders (S$4.85 for three-piece add-on to a meal, S$8.90 for a five-piece a la carte), coated in a punchy, spicy seasoning. Or, if you have a sweet tooth, you’ll enjoy the all-new lychee nata de coco pie (from S$1.80) — filled with a fruity lychee filling and chewy nata de coco bits.

Here’s what you can expect from McDonald’s latest offerings.
