Meatworks

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.

Smoked Duck Roll

I have a long running affair with duck, especially the smoked ones. Due to the fact that few halal establishments serve duck in their menu, thus it’s always a pleasure to find a halal duck dish.

Last night, I finally got to try the smoked duck roll from the stall at the Ramadhan bazaar right infront of Darul Arqam. The same said stall sells smoked duck in a waffle cone as well, but the best item that they sell at the stall is a whole roast duck for only $28.

The smoked duck roll was filled with juicy slices of smoked duck, cabbage, special sauce wrapped in a warm tortilla. Kinda like a duck burrito! Delicious!

Mummy’s 50th birthday dinner

We actually planned to take mummy to Carousel for her 50th, unfortunately they were fully booked till the 8th. So we scrambled to find the next best alternative, Sakura International Buffet @ Cairnhill.

There were several stations there; Japanese, deep fried offerings like tempura or kani, chinese, grills, desserts & dim sum. What made me a really happy eater was that they had smoked duck sushi & pipa duck with braised sea cucumbers. The smoked duck sushi was unbelievably good, kinda like the smoked duck slices from Seoul Hot Pot. We tried the baked oysters & mussels, grilled scallops & yakitori, grilled lamb shoulder, beef satay & many many more. A wide variety of seafood is available for everyones taste buds.
