[CLOSED] Meatsmith Western BBQ

G I F T
For someone who only recently learned to appreciate and enjoy lamb, I must say, I found this LIMITED EDITION Lamb Burger ($18) by @burntends_sg’s Executive Chef @patrick_leano, very good.
Top marks for how tender he got those double lamb patties. And whatever subtle gaminess my sensitive nose picked up, the luscious feta and mint aioli he loaded on, in and all over, did the trick of neutralising it. Needless to say, the soft #burger bun by Burnt Ends Bakery’s Head Baker @tart_tatin was the bronze gloriousness (barely) holding everything together.

Available only via online order, it is the first collab of the “Guest Chef Series” by @ms.xpress.sg (they are part of @meatsmith_sg). Tomorrow’s the last day you can get your hands on it, so hesitate and you’re too late.

If you can only order one thing from here, make it the Salted Egg Chicken Chop ($9). Juicy, charred chicken is slathered in a salted egg sauce the consistency of thick curry gravy – zi char taken up a couple notches?

The sauce does look different from what we’re used to, a promising mustard yellow flecked with spices, curry leaves, and who knows what else.

As I took bite after bite, I waited for a little tingle of the tummy, or any slight discomfort, but there was none. Didn’t feel like trash afterwards, as I usually do after consuming a rich salted egg dish. Joy in the absence of jelak!

This is served with garlic rice that wasn’t garlicky enough, and cucumber achar. If carbs = calamity is an equation you go by, this may just change your mind. You have the gravy to blame.

Unlike the feeble attempts by certain large fast food corporations to hop onto the salted egg bandwagon, this salted egg sauce will be the first thing to wow you - the taste of salted egg is prominent, forward and shiok (for the lack of a better adjective of the same effect) and the sauce is almost like a thick salted egg curry minus the curry. That goes on a nice caramelized chicken thigh, served with garlic fried rice, crispy shallots and some home made pickles for some acidity. This is a great plate of food for dinner/supper. I will most definitely have this over and over again. #burpple #meatsmithsg #burntendssg

A combination of the Burnt Ends signature (tender, smokey and rich) with a touch of Asia (topped with onions and spring onions sautéed in Szechuan chilli oil), I dare say I have never seen anything like that in a hawker center or and atas hawker center before. And it is mighty tasty I must add! A MUST TRY. #burpple #meatsmithwesternbbq_sg

I’ve tried Meatsmith at Telok Ayer once... and it wasn’t really a wallet friendly venue. But this was great! The BBQ pork ribs tasted like the restaurant’s and the salted egg sauce was creamy and the chicken grilled really well 😋
⭐️: 4.5/5

Smoked Suckling Pig with Glutinous Rice and XO Sauce - The skin of the Spanish piglet was thin and crispy.
