[CLOSED] The RawR Kitchen

Daredevil you must be to try these Molten Wings ($8 for three). Ask for the sauce on the side so you don't burn your mouth. Sweat you will. Wash it down with as much beer as needed.

If you know about The Rawr Kitchen, then you know they take their booze very seriously. 🍺 But they also have some great food and bar bites to keep you hankering for some more chugging!

This deep fried pork belly is first stewed so it's soft, then coated lightly and fried – resulting in a thin, crispy coating and tender insides. While soft, it's not the tenderest pork that turned away some of my dining partners but that just meant more for me. 🙈Would have liked a spicy or tangy sauce to go with it as the creamy dip provided made the proceedings a little jelat.

The main draw here is definitely the beer buffet ($35 for 2 hours) of their craft beer with unique offerings like root beer and seasonal cranberry beer. We tried a variety of the sides and the pork chops, and nothing stood out particularly. Wasn't a fan of the pork chops, the salted egg yolk wings, clams and fried pork were not too bad, and the luncheon fries was so so. In such an obscure place, I would only recommend for the unique craft beer offerings, the food is interesting but don't leave me craving more.

Linguine coated in a generous, hearty minced beef ragu, which has been stewed for 5 hours.
More savoury rather than sweet, this is done in classic Italian dry style. So good!

Righteous chicken wings. Crispy savoury salty skin, moist tender chicken meat.

Coated in a home made salted egg sauce that is creamy with notes of spice.
Decadent and delicious.

A true neighbourhood drinking hole, this no-frills restaurant-cum-microbrewery in the industrial part of Bukit Batok has quietly become one of our favourite places to enjoy a boozy weekend. Come with a group of serious pint pourers for the free flow Beer Buffet ($35) that gives you access to the craft beers for two hours. Of the eleven brews cranked out by On Tap Brewery available, the ones you must have are the award-winning Wheat Beer ($8, it won second place in the Asia Beer Medal Awards) and the crowd favourite alcoholic Root Beer ($11). Before the excessive chugging happens, be sure to get the devilishly spicy Molten Wings ($8 for three pieces) or the lip-smacking Deep Fried Pork Belly ($9) to line your tummy. A recipe handed down to the chef by his grandmother, the latter features juicy chunks of pork belly with a melt-in-your-mouth fatty layer.
Avg Price: $40 per person
