10 at Claymore is Pan Pacific Orchard's signature restaurant and it's famous for its Blackmore Full Blood Wagyu Beef, which has a marbling score of 9+. Fyi, the highest rating for wagyu is 11, so 9+ is a very rare and impressive score.
I was there to sample its latest Plates of Pleasure menu. This is an a la minute menu that the bistro provides on top of its regular spread. It changes once every two months and is served straight from the kitchen when you order it. The July-August menu is called "Thrill of the Grill" and consists of five items: US Petite Black Angus with Malbec Reduction, Blackmore Wagyu Patty with peppered gravy and St. Louis “Fingering” Pork Rib glazed with Vintage BBQ sauce served with Cajun-Fat Chip, Prawn “Fleur de Sel” with Mango Ensenada and Chilli Lemongrass Drizzle and Aussie Farm-Raised Lamb with Sweet Plum Jus.

Of them, my favourite was the US Petite Black Angus. The slightly charred angus steak is juicy, tender and very flavourful. The Boyfriend (who was my guest at the tasting) also liked the Wagyu Patty, however, I found it a little tough and "synthetic" for my liking.
Besides the seasonal Plates of Pleasure menu, you should also check out the restaurant's live oysters and lobsters. These are fresh and naturally sweet. I particularly enjoy the lobsters when seasoned with wasabi mayonnaise.
The dessert spread, while not exactly extensive, is of superb quality. Remember to check out the cakes, macaroons and chocolate fondue!
