I love it when mom goes missing for a couple of hours and comes back with a Wendy’s paper bag. I wonder each time what treasures she’s bought for us. This time, she bought us a Baconator Double. This beautiful burger, I refuse to think about the calories, was two beef patties, beef bacon, cheese, mayo, tomato ketchup between two soft brioches. Hmm how long must I run on the treadmill to burn the calories of this yummy treat?
I was once a vegetarian, but with restaurants like Meatworks no one would want to be one. I realize that I’ll always be a carnivore. I love my meats so much so that practically almost every establishment that served steaks in Singapore, I have tried.
Meatworks is an establishment that serves the best cuts of meat that you’d want. Located in the heart of the bustling shopping district of Orchard Road at Ion, it’s easily accessible by train, bus or cab (there’s even a valet service).
I’ve tried their Wagyu Sirloin and Wagyu D Rump, but what I can wax lyrical about is their Angus Tenderloin. I love my meat pink, so I always order them medium. Every slice just melts in your mouth.
You are spoiled with a wide choice of cuts of meat, just wished that they had filet mignon though, had the best mignon at Open Sesame Long Beach. Anyways back to Meatworks, your steaks are accompanied by choices of sides like vegetables, fries or Yukon mash. Their Yukon mash is my side of choice, is so creamy & delish. A variety of sauces are available to accompany you meats, there’s chimichurri, Herbed butter, black pepper etc. Oh and on the menu there’s the Brontosaurus steak, a 1.5kg steak that takes an hour to prepare. I’m still looking for takers to finish one with me.
Another item in the menu that I must order is the Foie Gras with longan. The fattiness of the foie is cut by the freshness of the longans and the lightly dressed greens. We tried another starter last night, Oven Baked Asparagus with béarnaise sauce and mushrooms. Yum!
Their drinks menu is impressive. There are italian sodas with flavours like blood orange, all sorts of mocktails and smoothies and teas. No meal is complete without desserts, I recommend their Affogato, Tiramisu, Panna Cota and Creme Brûlée simply DIVINE!
Definitely a must go restaurant if you adore meat!
Meatworks is located at:
2 Orchard Turn, #04-12 ION Orchard, Singapore.
Eatzi is a halal establishment that serves really great steaks. They prepare a wide assortment of dining options that you can choose from Asian to seafood to meats. I’d have to say they prepare their lamb shanks that just fall of the bones and filet steaks that are just so juicy and mouth watering. Definitely a must go if you want a well prepared steak & potatoes!
