Classic American restaurant rolls out new menu
and weekend family brunch this December
The Bird Southern Table & Bar is ready to
soar higher, starting with a
relaunch to celebrate brand new offerings and a name change to Yardbird
Singapore.
The Bird – a part of the James Beard nominated
Yardbird Southern Table & Bar restaurant family with locations in Miami
Beach, Las Vegas and Los Angeles in the United States – is officially adopting
the name of its parent company this December after a successful first year at
the iconic Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.

Founded in 2011 by 50 Eggs Inc., which operates some of Miami’s most popular restaurants, Yardbird Southern Table & Bar is committed to farm-fresh ingredients, soulful American cooking and gracious hospitality.
Yardbird melds time-honoured cooking and
preparation methods using unique indigenous produce true to each region. While
guests will continue to enjoy what they love most about the restaurant,
including an impressive whiskey selection, highly-acclaimed recipes such as its
famous 100-year-old fried chicken, top-notch hospitality, dynamic double-floor
space and scenic outdoor seating, there are more exciting things to come with
the relaunch.
“With this relaunch as Yardbird Southern Table
& Bar, we are excited to continue sharing our classic American culinary
roots and recipes with our Singapore guests, and even delight them with a few
new surprises. No matter how far around the globe our visitors travel, our goal
is to always make them feel right at home when they sit at our tables,” says
John Kunkel, Founder & CEO of 50 Eggs.
Yardbird Singapore celebrated its relaunch last
Thursday night with a host of celebrities in attendance, which included FLY
Entertainment Artistes and cast of the Crazy
Rich Asians movie –
Constance Lau, Amy Cheng and Janice Koh. They were joined by their colleagues – Benjamin Kheng (The Sam
Willows), Jason Godfrey (KIN), and Jaime Teo. Regional actors Kevin Julio and

YARDBIRD SINGAPORE PRESENTS THE GREAT AMERICAN BRUNCH
Marking the relaunch is a Great American Brunch on the weekends, featuring classic brunch
staples reinvented in flavorful twists, dramatic desserts, and an even greater
family-friendly experience.
Guests can look forward to creations by Yardbird’s
Corporate Pastry Chef and two-time James Beard Award finalist Chef Hedy
Goldsmith, the mastermind behind the fluffy, mile-high Funfetti Pancakes
(S$22++). Perfect for birthday celebrations, the trio of buttermilk pancakes is
studded with rainbow sprinkles, finished with citrus glaze, whipped cream and a
side of bourbon maple syrup. Brunch lovers will also delight in the fun-loving Doughnut
Tree (S$16++), featuring a
medley of six colourful glazed treats in three flavours that change every week.
Guests looking for healthier brunch options can
also enjoy the gluten-free Salted Caramel Waffle (S$22++) with
brûléed bananas and candied pecans, or select from an array of nutritious
acai and granola fruit bowls, and fresh juices.
Apart from the Great American Brunch, Yardbird Singapore has also added a host of
mouthwatering dishes to its lunch and dinner menus. New lunch items include the
Yardbird
Chicken
Sandwich (S$22), featuring butter toasted brioche bun topped with a
crispy chicken thigh tossed with house ghost chili rub. The spice blend used
in this sandwich is made from ghost peppers, a hybrid chili pepper that is said
to be 400 times hotter than Tabasco sauce.
