There’s a unique thrill that comes with the anticipation of new flavours on the menu at a favourite restaurant. While the familiarity of beloved dishes is comforting, the allure of unexpected tastes sparks our culinary curiosity. Social House embodies this sentiment beautifully with the launch of its Simply Iconic menu. This new chapter embraces a philosophy where comfort meets quality as the kitchen team reimagines classic favourites using premium ingredients and modern cooking techniques.
The new selection speaks to both familiarity and culinary elevation. The Wagyu & Foie Gras Hamburg Steak stands as a prime example of this approach. It offers an elegant interpretation of a French classic by pairing a soft Wagyu beef patty with rich foie gras, served with a side of house-cut fries and fresh watercress, brought together by a bold three-peppercorn sauce.
Another highlight for those seeking an elevated meal is the A5 Signature Bowl. This creation presents Japanese A5 Wagyu over warm furikake rice. The addition of an onsen egg alongside wild mushrooms and truffle aioli provides a highly balanced flavour profile. Diners seeking aromatic Asian flavours will appreciate the Wagyu Oxtail Boat Noodle: a slow-cooked broth forms the savoury base of this hearty bowl, bringing together tender Wagyu cuts with soft rice noodles, rounded out by traditional Thai spices and fresh herbs.
Seafood lovers are presented with equally compelling options. The Wild-Caught Seabass features a crispy pan-seared skin resting over a smooth purée of charred sweet corn and a rich beurre blanc, paired with popping ikura to deliver a satisfying contrast of textures. Drawing inspiration from European traditions, The Lobster & Beef Lasagna layers fresh pasta with creamy béchamel, lobster meat, and a slow-cooked Wagyu ragù. Representing the vibrant spices of Indonesia is the Stuffed Jimbaran Squid, a charcoal-grilled seafood delicacy features a prawn mousse filling. It is heavily infused with aromatic Balinese seasonings to bring a strong local character to the table.
Beyond its latest dishes, Social House remains a destination for every occasion. A collection of more than 50 wines sits alongside the Simply Iconic menu, offering plenty of pairing options. Looking out across the iconic Bundaran HI from Grand Indonesia, the restaurant balances a relaxed atmosphere with understated elegance, making it just as suitable for an easy lunch as it is for business conversations or evening catch-ups.
