WARNING: Vegetarians, avert your eyes.
This list is for those who love all things meat. For those who love
biting into a juicy, tender, perfectly seasoned, crusty on the
outside, medium-rare on the inside, steaming, hot off the
grill, cut of meat. I’m talking about red meat in particular, but
any good meat-centric establishment will certainly offer other
variations of our meaty friends – often in the form of pork,
lamb and chicken.
Personally, I love meat. Since the dawn of mankind we have been
eating it to survive. So now that you no longer have to
personally hunt your meat to live, let’s leave it up to some of the
best and brightest chefs and restaurants around Singapore
to help us get our protein fix.
In no particular order, the meatiest places around Singapore
for the carnivore in you.
One cannot mention the most meat-centric places in Singapore
without mentioning Brazilian churrasacia. With three locations
around Singapore, Carnivore is one of the better known and
enjoyed Brazilian churrasacia establishments on the
island.
For $50 you can enjoy a salad bar and all the juicy, steaming, cut
right at your table, meat options your heart and bloated stomach
desire. The tender rump steak was my personal favorite cut, but the
beauty of the place is with the flip of a little green card, you
can eat as much and choose what you would like. I only made it
through 4 different cuts of meat – it’s not for the faint of
heart.
Another all you can eat Brazilian
barbeque establishment, Carne and Caipirinha will
leave you stuffed to the brim. They serve charcoal
fire-roasted beef, pork sausages, chicken and lamb right at your
table.
Carne and Caipirinha was created by the same team as Carnivore, so
you can ensure they know what they are doing on the Brazilian meat
front. Again, come hungry!
CUT, by Wolfgang Puck is well known for being a celebrity chef
restaurant and subsequently one of Singapore’s best and most
talked about steak houses. CUT is a popular choice for business
dinners and entertaining out of town guests or clients
(especically if you are dining on an expen$e account).
The overall concept of the restaurant is classic American steak
house, with an array of USDA prime beef offerings to match. If
you are in the mood to indulge your wallet for brick grilled
USDA steaks and classic American sides, such as creamed spinach,
check out CUT.
Located inside Suntec City’s new ‘Eat
at Seven’ concept – seven top Japanese food specialists and
restaurants located together just off of the Sky Garden – is
Nikunohi, a wagyu lovers paradise.
Here they serve A5-grade Kuroge wagyu
beef and twenty three different types of beef patties for
you to grill at your table. With the original flagship restaurant
located in Tokyo, this is currently their first and only overseas
branch. Nikunohi also features daily specials such as 30% off
a kiwami plate or
kids dine free, depending on the day of the week. High quality
wagyu beef at affordable prices – yes, please.
A true meat lovers paradise. At Huber’s you can really double, or
even triple, down on your meat. Enjoy a simple, yet
high quality lunch at their bistro cafe and then
stroll the aisles of their endless fresh meat products inside
at the butcher.
Their bistro offers an array of juicy and flavorful sausages, or
you can get a classic roast beef sandwich. Inside the store, take
away just about any and every cut of meat you can imagine
for that nights dinner – and for dinner the rest of the week.
Huber’s lovers take note: they have recently moved into a bigger
and badder location just a stones throw away from their old home on
Dempsey Road.
Burnt Ends is another barbecue restaurant that will set you
back in the cost department, but I will contest to the fact that
the food and the wait time is worth it. Under the direction of
Aussie chef Dave Pyntrun, Burnt Ends has been receiving a slew
of accolades for their beef and cooking techniques.
At Burnt Ends they use apple and almond wood in their
impressive looking four tone, dual open flame oven, which
can be seen from the row of counter-only seating. The menu is
written daily, but you can’t go wrong with anything beefy here.
Moving on from Brazilian, American, Australian and Japanese
meat institutions, Bistecca takes an Italian approach to their
beef. Florentine-style to be exact. Here they keep their meats
simple with a basic salt and pepper seasoning and cooked over
charcoal.
At Bistecca you can tell they are extremely knowledgeable
and passionate about their beef, top to bottom. The beef itself is
exclusive F1 Wagyu, pasture raised and organic-fed in Australia,
while the staff take their time to explain the different cuts,
marbling grades and make suggestions per your liking.
SKIRT, inside the W Hotel over at Sentosa, is another
high-quality, high-end, steak house nestled inside a top hotel in
Singapore. What they are most well-known for is their dry aged
beef, proudly on display inside their glass drying cabinets, and
their fire grill.
The meat offerings at SKIRT are abundant in choice (bone-in
strip, skirt steak, lamb, venison), and even more impressive in
their care and hot-off-the-grill execution of the dishes.
You can’t have a meat-lovers list without one Korean barbecue
offering. Personally, I love a good filet and a glass of vino,
but sometimes I’m looking for something more casual and
fitting for a group. I’ve had some of my most fun dinners in
Singapore over charcole grilling our own selection of meats at our
table and sharing a few Hite’s and bottles (multiple) of Soju. I
digress…
Ssikkek BBQ is the first place in Singapore to serve Korean
BBQ, buffet-style. If you are a meat lover and
looking to seriously indulge for a modest price, spend a few
hours at Ssikkek.
One of the more casual places on the list, Carvers & Co. has a
nice selection of meat sandwiches and dinner entrees. On their
brunch menu you can indulge in a cheeseburger (with bacon, for good
measure), a pork belly sandwich or a hearty steak sandwich,
complete with generous slices of bacon and a fried egg.
Their dinner menu offers options of Wagyu beef, a roast beef
platter and a bone-in prime rib to satisfy your meaty cravings –
all without shelling out fine-dining and steak house prices.
