Burrata Salad $18
Creamy mozzarella ball with cherry tomatoes, arugula and candied walnuts, with a sprinkle of sea salt over the arugula.
There is a certain restraint required in executing a truly memorable burrata salad, and Laters’ demonstrates a mastery of balance that borders on the poetic. The creamy mozzarella ball arrives with an air of quiet confidence — supple yet firm, its silken texture intact, resisting that all-too-common fate of collapsing into a puddle. It is cradled by a vibrant medley of arugula and cherry tomatoes, their freshness immediately apparent. The greens, crisp and peppery, contrast beautifully against the creamy burrata, each bite a perfect interplay of softness and snap.
The freshness here is worth underscoring — every element on the plate tastes as if it were prepared and plated mere seconds ago. The arugula crackles with life, the cherry tomatoes burst with sun-ripened sweetness, and the burrata is flawlessly cold and moist, still holding its shape with grace. It’s the kind of freshness that elevates simplicity into something extraordinary.
What truly lifts the dish is the addition of candied walnuts — a subtle yet inspired choice. Their gentle sweetness does not intrude but rather mediates the pepper of the arugula and the cheese’s richness, acting as a bridge between bold and delicate. It’s a textural triumph as well — the crunch of the walnut delivering a counterpoint to the burrata’s yielding centre. But the final masterstroke is a whisper of sea salt, almost imperceptible at first, yet transformative. This finishing touch breathes life into the arugula and lifts the entire composition into the realm of the unforgettable.
Pinot Grigio $14 per glass
Gio – Delle Venezie
At first sip, the Pinot Grigio appears modest — refreshing, clean, a touch citrus-forward. But paired with the burrata salad, it undergoes a metamorphosis. The wine’s notes of lemon zest and lime enliven the palate, mirroring the salad’s crisp freshness while cutting through the cheese’s richness with precision. The subtle floral bouquet dances gently in tandem with the arugula’s spice, and the wine’s bright acidity underscores the sweet-savoury tension of the walnuts.
This pairing made me realise just how important wine pairing is. The Pinot Grigio, on its own, is pleasant but not remarkable. Yet, when enjoyed with the salad, the combination is transformative. Together, the dish and the wine transcend their individual pleasures, becoming a singular, elevated expression of culinary harmony.
Flambé Cheesewheel Carbonara $28
Rich, creamy carbonara with premium bacon and champignon, torched with brandy in a cheesewheel for a bold flavour
Carbonara is often misunderstood — misrepresented as little more than cream-laden spaghetti. Laters’ version, flambéed in a cheesewheel with a splash of brandy, redefines the genre with dramatic flair and exceptional substance. The dish arrives with a quiet theatricality — torched tableside — but it is the aroma that arrests first: earthy champignon, the smoky edge of torched cheese, and the unmistakable perfume of brandy-kissed pasta.
What follows is a rich, velvety carbonara, unapologetically indulgent yet remarkably nuanced. The spaghetti is true al dente — no small feat in Singapore — with just the right bite, offering structure against the luxurious sauce. The premium bacon is thick-cut, smoky, and generously portioned, adding savoury depth with each forkful. The champignon mushrooms round out the umami profile, creating layers of flavour that unfold with every bite.
What sets this apart is not only the ingredients but the technique — the integration of the flambé is not gimmick but alchemy. The brandy awakens the cheese’s complexity, infusing the sauce with a depth that lingers on the palate. This is not merely comfort food — it is comfort food reimagined for the connoisseur.
Prosecco Doc Extra $15 per glass
Valdo – Veneto, Italy
To offset the opulence of the carbonara, Laters recommends a Prosecco of rare elegance, and the choice is exquisite. The fine perlage and golden reflections of the Valdo are a visual prelude to its delicate floral and pear-driven bouquet. On the palate, the bubbles perform an important function — cleansing, lifting, refreshing — making each bite of the rich pasta feel as vibrant as the first.
There is an undeniable synergy between the Prosecco’s crispness and the carbonara’s creamy heft. The wine’s sapidity enhances the dish’s savoury aspects, while its gentle sweetness creates a subtle echo of the flambé’s caramelised notes. A pairing of contrasts — light and rich, sparkling and silky — executed with extraordinary grace.
Signature Tenderloin 300g — $42
300g of Tenderloin grilled to perfection, served with fries and savoury gravy on the side
The Signature Tenderloin, a 300g cut grilled with precision, is the kind of dish that quietly announces a kitchen’s competence. At Laters’, it does more than that — it showcases a reverence for the ingredient. The meat arrives with a sear that suggests mastery — deeply caramelised yet never overdone. A light crust gives way to a yielding, juicy centre cooked to the requested perfection — medium-rare, in this instance, revealing a rosy interior that whispers of restraint and timing.
The fries and savoury gravy on the side are far from ornamental. The fries are golden and crisp, offering contrast and indulgence. The gravy, meanwhile, is deeply savoury — umami-laden, balanced, not overpowering — designed to accent rather than compete. But the hero remains the tenderloin: unadorned, confident, and full of character.
This is a dish for the purist — one who seeks quality, consistency, and a sense of quiet luxury in the simplicity of a well-executed steak. No embellishments are needed; every element is just so.
Nero D’avola $14 per glass
Messer Del Fauno, Sicily – Italy
Few varietals match the depth of a tenderloin as beautifully as a well-crafted Nero d’Avola, and the Messer Del Fauno is a study in balance and boldness. Its dense ruby hue signals intensity, and the bouquet — all blackberries, blueberries, and licorice — evokes an Old World complexity that complements the steak’s inherent richness.
On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, its structure supple enough to wrap around the steak without overwhelming it. The fruitiness lifts the meat, while the long, persistent finish mirrors the tenderloin’s own lingering savour. It’s a pairing of equals — confident, refined, and deeply satisfying.
Seasalt Lemon Cheesecake $14
Rich cheesecake topped with a delicate sea salt-infused cream, and hints of lemon, balanced sweetness with a subtle savoury note.
To end on a note of finesse, the Seasalt Lemon Cheesecake offers a symphony of creamy richness, citrus brightness, and subtle savoury intrigue. The texture is lush, almost mousse-like, with the body of a baked cheesecake and the airiness of a chilled one. The lemon notes are assertive but not acidic, weaving through the sweetness with measured grace.
The sea salt-infused cream is the revelation — its delicate salinity teasing out flavours from both the lemon and the base. Each bite unfolds in layers: tang, cream, salt, and the buttery crunch of the base. It is a dessert for those who seek refinement over excess, sophistication over sugar.
Latte $7
The final act is a latte that exudes quiet elegance — smooth, aromatic, and finely textured. The milk is expertly steamed, creating a microfoam that integrates seamlessly with the espresso’s deep, nutty base. It is not a showpiece, but rather a perfectly calibrated coda to an exceptional meal — warm, comforting, and satisfying.
Laters’ is a restaurant that deserves to be spoken of in hushed tones — not because it is reserved, but because it inspires reverence. From the expertly executed dishes to the intuitive wine pairings and serene ambience, it is a place that understands what it means to truly host. Whether you’re a gastronome, a wine lover, or simply someone who knows the value of exceptional taste, Laters’ is a culinary destination that quietly commands your attention — and earns it, dish after remarkable dish.
