The Feather Blade

The Feather Blade is a casual steakhouse and cocktail bar in a shophouse at 61 Tanjong Pagar Road. It has served steak since 2019 and is built around one main cut: the feather blade. This steak comes from the shoulder of the cow and is also known as flat iron.

Founder Sheen Jet Leong learned the trade at Flat Iron, a London steakhouse built on the same idea. The Feather Blade began in Singapore as a pop-up before settling into a permanent home. It is part of Proper Concepts, a local group of bars and restaurants that Leong co-founded.

What to order

Most people come for the signature feather blade steak. The kitchen also works with other lesser-known cuts, and it pairs its steaks with Asian-inspired sides and sauces.

Menus change over time, but past ones have offered sauces such as béarnaise, wasabi cream and a peppercorn sauce. Sides have included potatoes cooked in beef fat and a burratina salad.

Beyond steak, the menu has burgers with patties fried in beef fat. There is also gyudon, a Japanese-style rice bowl topped with beef. The bar mixes cocktails with steakhouse and beef themes.

Both lunch and dinner are served. If you would rather eat at your hotel, the restaurant also offers delivery and pick-up.

The setting

Reviews of the Tanjong Pagar shop describe a dark, sleek room with dim, warm lighting. It feels more like a relaxed bar than a formal steakhouse.

That makes it a good fit for a quick lunch near the business district or an easy evening with friends.
