Monday 30 December 2024 – Wolfgang’s Steakhouse by Wolfgang Zwiener, a renowned high-end steakhouse from New York, officially launched its first branch in Thailand at One Bangkok recently. This marks the 40th location worldwide. The grand soft opening was hosted by Mr. Peter Zwiener, President and Co-Founder of Wolfgang’s Steakhouse, Mr. Prasert Laorphanpon and Mr. Sohei Urakami, Co-partners of Wolfgang’s Steakhouse Thailand.
“The name Wolfgang’s Steakhouse comes from my father, Wolfgang, who used to work at another steakhouse in New York City for 40 years,” shared Mr. Peter Zwiener. “We decided that when he was going to retire, which he did 20 years ago, I would use my business experience (as a banker) and he would use his knowledge in culinary and steak, to open up the best steakhouse in the world, and we opened up our first Wolfgang’s Steakhouse in New York in 2004.”
“Our focus is on using premium ingredients, particularly USDA Prime beef. We are responsible for our own beef. We deal directly with the best ranches and abattoirs in the US; and we also import Maine lobsters from the U.S. Other seafood and fish are sourced locally,” said Mr. Zwiener.
“Beyond the cuisine, we place great emphasis on the restaurant’s ambiance and outstanding service. The interior is inspired by the classic New York steakhouses of 1912, featuring historical photographs that tell stories of enduring value and tradition. This design blends timeless charm with a modern fine-dining experience.”
At the soft opening dinner, Chef Kenny Nattawat Ariyawisutsri, the Head Chef at Wolfgang’s Steakhouse Thailand, introduced a variety of signature dishes that authentically reflect the essence of New York.
Highlights included:
Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail: Large shrimp served with Wolfgang’s signature cocktail sauce.
Wolfgang’s Crab Cake: A special recipe made with premium, succulent crab meat paired with tartar sauce.
Beverly Hills Chopped Salad: A classic California-style salad featuring finely chopped fresh vegetables and Wolfgang’s special dressing.
Sizzling Bacon: Thick-cut bacon grilled to perfection for a smoky, crispy finish.
Lobster Bisque: A rich and creamy soup made from fresh Maine lobster, infused with exquisite spices.
The main course was the Porterhouse Steak, featuring USDA Prime beef, the highest grade awarded by the USDA, served with sides such as German potatoes and creamed spinach.
“Our steaks are flown directly from the U.S. in a chilled (never frozen) state, dry-aged for 28 days in meticulously controlled conditions. During the process the beef develops tenderness and a great sense of flavour, an earthy flavour,” explained Chef Kenny.
A unique feature of the restaurant is the “Sizzling” announcement made in chorus by the staff when the steaks are served in a sizzling state, alerting diners to handle the hot plate with care.
For dessert, guests enjoyed the New York Style Cheesecake, a classic recipe with a smooth and creamy texture, served with rich whipped cream for the perfect balance of sweetness.
Wolfgang’s Steakhouse also emphasizes the use of locally sourced ingredients, such as fresh fish and vegetables from Thailand, to add variety to the menu. Other recommendations include the classic Seafood Platter, Apple Strudel a la mode, Pecan Pie, and the Classic Hot Fudge Sundae.
“Apart from great service with attention to detail, great quality, great food, great ambiance, great training, we focus on making every dinner at Wolfgang’s Steakhouse feel they are VIPs and very special to us, this is how we created the Wolfgang Brand,” said Mr. Zwiener in conclusion.
Wolfgang’s Steakhouse Bangkok is currently open daily from 5:00 pm to 11:30 pm, with plans to extend full-day service daily from 11:30 am to 11:30 pm starting mid-January 2025.

Singapore, 1 January 2025 – Singapore welcomed 2025 in spectacular fashion with a breathtaking fireworks display, along with lively celebrations, at the Marina Bay Singapore Countdown 2025 (MBSC 2025). Presented by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), this year’s celebrations marked a special milestone, as the countdown was part of the islandwide ONE Countdown celebrations commemorating Singapore’s 60th birthday (SG60).
In the hour leading up to the new year, the fireworks unfolded in four chapters and illuminated the iconic Marina Bay skyline with vibrant bursts of colours across the night sky. MBSC 2025 punctuated the ringing in of the New Year at midnight with the debut of specially curated orchid motifs, designed by the team behind STAR ISLAND.

Festivities had earlier begun in the lead up to the new year, with magical experiences at illumi — where visitors were dazzled by nine uniquely themed worlds with larger-than-life light sculptures and immersive multimedia, and were treated to a special New Year’s Eve experience that invited them to picnic under the stars — along with captivating live performances at Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay’s Come Together, which showcased an engaging lineup of homegrown musicians.

Visitors also gathered to enjoy Brightening Lives, as the inspiring light projection shows danced across the façade of The Fullerton Hotel Singapore, featuring eight meaningful artworks by artists with disabilities from ART:DIS. Presented in collaboration with philanthropic organisation The Majurity Trust, the artworks echo the values of SG60 with uplifting messages that encourage the community to reflect on what it means to thrive in Singapore.
