Here's the October 2017 menu. It varies according to the cuts of meat they get.
As starters, we sampled some delightful sides of Creamed Kale (S$5), Salted Thyme Mushrooms (S$5) and Guanciale Mac & Cheese (S$5 what a steal!). They are simply and quickly tossed or stirred or baked, but the end result's the same. They are all complementary dishes to steak! I loved the mac n' cheese though all the sides were good!
On to the mains! We tried two cuts of beef that night - the lesser known shoulder cut and mainstay of the place, the Flat Iron (S$22) and the fattier Short Rib (S$25), both served with a side of house salad and chimichurri sauce. We also got some delicious and well-priced Alamos Malbec 2014 (S$12) to go with the red meat.
It was a thing of beauty to behold.
I don't have to say too much about these steaks. They were perfect - tender, juicy and beefy without excessive chewing. What I really like is how Fat Belly uses various cuts of beef depending on availability. 4.5/5
For example, from December 2017 they were offering the near-impossible-to-find Wagyu Marble Score 7-9 Denver Steak. There are also new sides on the menu - the Bacon Bourbon Sweet Potato Mash and Rosemary Chunky Polenta Chips. All very fine to pair with some steak!
Then on to the sweets! A meal is not complete without some dessert (unless one is filled to the brim with food already). The Foie Gras (S$13) is a special Fat Belly dessert not offered on the Sugarhaus menu, made of foie gras ice cream, brulee banana, speculoos and roasted nuts. I really enjoyed this one and would come back just for it. 4/5
Then we must have and photograph the Instagram magnet of course - the Galaxy Tart (S$8) is probably what propelled Sugarhaus to fame. This was really pretty to look at, but even tastier to consumer with its cherry chocolate insides! 4/5
We also tried the innovative and just-tart-enough Lemon Popsicle Tart (S$8). For people with a sour tooth, this is for you! 4/5
There's also some Waffles (S$6) with Hibiscus Yogurt, Sea Salt Toffee, Dutch Chocolate & Gula Meleka Pecan ice cream (S$4.30 per scoop). The ice cream flavours are all so exotic, and did well on a crunchy fluffy waffle! I think the Gula Melaka Pecan was my favourite.
And just to round it up, a Rich Man's Chocolate Cake (S$8), which was the perfect name for such a decadent treat! It was packed with flavour, but remains fluffy and light in texture. For people into the classics, you won't go wrong with this one! 4/5
Even though I had a less stellar review from my sibling when she went, I believe in Fat Belly's vision of offering great steaks at awesome value for that perfect little-win evening when you just want to relax and eat with your favourite people. So give Fat Belly a try and let me know if its up to scratch!
