Beef Steak Lovers

If it's steak you're in the mood for, this cosy 10-seater spot in Serene Centre (it shares the space with Sugarhaus) is perfect for the whole steakhouse experience at budget-friendly prices. It's certainly found a fan in Burpple Tastemaker Emily S, who has raving reviews of the meat. There are only two steaks on the menu — the Flat Iron ($22), which is leaner and offers great bite, and the Short Rib ($25), which has lovely marbling and a more decadent mouthfeel. The steaks arrive well seasoned, which warrants the acompanying chimichurri unnecessary, alongside a little bowl of house salad tossed in vinaigrette. Sides are priced at an additional $5 each, but worth the splurge. Consider the juicy Sauteed Thyme Mushrooms ($5) or luscious Guanciale Mac & Cheese ($5). Desserts still aren't stellar, so save your money for something else.
Avg Price: $25 per person

This joint is the latest venture by the Keisuke group. They ONLY serve Hamburg steak (with or without cheese) with free flow salad/carb/live egg station/dessert bar. The set comes with accompanying rice and miso soup (not pictured).

Waited 30minutes or less during peak hour. I'm guessing the snaking queue migrated to Man Man Unagi after they were awarded the Michelin bib gourmand.

When my parents and I were told of the dinner special (priced at $28 nett), we knew we had to get it. The Flat Iron Steak (also known as an Oyster Blade Steak) is a deeply flavourful and lean cut. In the very capable hands of Chef-owner Terence and his team, it turned out to be positively buttery in texture. My mum and I were suitably impressed but you should have heard my dad - he could not stop raving about it throughout our meal! 😄

Sound the clarion call for all carnivores of the bovine persuasion -- The Carvery's The Great Meat Feast promotion will have you basking in joyous meat sweats from all the glorious, high quality boeuf you'll be inhaling.

Expect Aomori Rice Beef(Japan), Mayura full-blood Wagyu(Australia), Cape Grim Tenderloin(Tasmania), Zebu(Brazil), Black Angus(USA) and New Zeland Beef, and an excess of condiments to flavour your meat with, including truffle salt, gravy, jus and an assortment of mustards.

As if that weren't value enough, there's a tightly focused buffet spread, and live pasta/pizza stations, all of which were surprisingly good!

Pro tip: Try the Yorkshire pudding, which is not actually a pudding but a sort of hollow pastry shell made from batter. The Carvery's version is one of the best I've had - crisp yet soft and flaky, perfect for drenching in gravy and eaten as a side with your beef.

Dinner $78++ (Sun - Thu)
$88++(Fri & Sat)
Until Oct 22
