Culina Bistro Marks Merdeka With A Celebratory New Menu

Culina Bistro is a place where home cooks and professional chefs alike can feel at home.

Whether you’re enjoying a relaxing moment at their wine bar or indulging in a perfectly plated dish at the bistro, Culina invites you to mark the occasion with their Merdeka menu.

Expanding its Singaporean fine dining footprint to Malaysia, Culina is the go-to spot for food lovers, home cooks, chefs, and wine enthusiasts. It is an epicurean escape, offering a marketplace, wine bar, bakery, and bistro—all under one roof. True to its philosophy of quality and authenticity, Culina focuses on fresh, handpicked produce. Guests can select ingredients from the market and watch as the bistro transforms their choices into a personalised dish.

Culina Bistro’s fresh feast

Available until 30th September 2025, Culina Bistro’s Merdeka menu is a tribute to Malaysia’s National Day. The meal kicks off with a fresh, briny ‘Oyster’, dressed in chili lime and served with shallot mignonette. A simple squeeze of lemon adds the perfect touch to begin the feast. Next, the ‘Crab Cake’ steals the show, packed with sweet jumbo lump crab and served with celeriac rémoulade and Marie Rose sauce—a freshly indulgent experience.

For a more comforting dish, the ‘Rotisserie Half Chicken’ is golden-grilled to perfection, served alongside velvety mashed potatoes, market vegetables, and a rich bordelaise sauce.

For the beef buffs, the ‘MiGyeongSan Hanwoo Beef Loin’ will no doubt steal the scene. Grilled to perfection over a MIBRASA charcoal grill and drizzled with a punchy peppercorn sauce, trust that you’ll be lost in the sublime meaty goodness before the crisp vegetables come in to reinvigorate your taste buds. A side of hand-cut fries, fried to perfection, put the finishing touch on what Culina is all about.

Celebrating a momentuous occasion

Keeping in the Merdeka spirit is the ‘Sambal Ortiz Anchovy Pizza’. Each slice is a veritable carnival of flavours, as well as colour, with vibrant dashes of red onion and garden-green coriander. This is a crowd-pleasing pie that’ll be especially enticing for heat seekers, thanks to a piquant hit that makes sure to linger on the palate.

The ‘Chilli Crab Spaghetti’ makes an equally sharp splash. Here, crab and carb come together in holy matrimony, with the luscious broth working to envelop the decadent crustacean as the shio kombu adds a sea-like saltiness to proceedings. Mirroring the striking shade of red that adorns our national flag, red chillis and tomatoes are stirred in to give the dish an injection of flavour as well as colour.

Shoreline-inspired and savoury, the ‘Grilled Sabah Sea Prawn Spaghetti’ kicks things up with its zesty mustard-infused bites. Turmeric brings a sunny warmth and a touch of spice, while the laksa leaf adds a fragrant lift to the fresh Sabah prawns. The ‘Beef Satay Spaghetti’ is another enticing option that brings a similar mix of flavours but with its own distinctive twist, thanks to the rich satay beef. The peanut sauce works to tie it all together, bringing out the dish’s already aromatic, savoury depth.

Culina Bistro’s Merdeka menu is a true celebration of Malaysia’s rich flavours and remarkable ingredients. With each dish crafted to showcase the best of local produce, there could hardly be a more memorable way to mark the occasion. Don’t miss out—head over before 30th September and enjoy a feast that’s truly in the Merdeka spirit.
