People travel, work, reside, study in Singapore for different reasons. As one of the most modern and advanced (in many aspects) cities in the world, Singapore is a dreamland for everyone ambitious enough to reach their dreams. But, what you don’t know though about this small country is that it is home to some of the best steak restaurants in the world. Yes, you heard is right. Singapore is a hub of many steak restaurants—and people have been raving about it.
Stella Jobs, who was from Texas, partly decided to reside in Singapore as she is a certified meat lover, and this city proves to be a haven for steak lovers like her, “I’ve got a bunch of favourite restaurant in the city. When I worked here in 2012, I felt at home instantly because I met of fellow steak lovers here in SG. It was a home away from home, and I revel on the food here. It’s good that so many expats from Australia, Japan, and the US have managed to open steak houses here in SG. It feels like I never left America.” You will be surprised at how many good steak restaurants there are in the city. Sometimes, you’d find a cheap beef cut in a small streak house tuck away somewhere near some street food market, “There sure are some low-key steak houses here in SG where you can buy a hot, hearty plate of steak for $27 dollars. I love this one I tried that is super gigantic New York Strip for 500g. I don’t mind waiting for it to cook because I love it when the meat is deeply smoked, slowly cooked—often, the flavours are better the longer they stay on the grill. Steaks that are incredibly tender are also my weakness. I have a few place I visit in Bukit Timah too that have Australian and Japanese steakhouses, but I like American dining the best,” shared Tony Turner, a resident of SG from Pasadena, California. What makes a good steak according to hardcore steak lovers? “Always order medium rare,” said Paul Landers an Aussie living in the downtown area, “Never have it cooked well done or you’ll end up eating something that can be carcinogenic and burnt. Medium rare is the way to go as the meat that is hot is still doing its own cooking on your plate.” On the question of what is the best side dish for the delicious steak, people have different answers: “I am born in South East Asia, I eat anything with rice. I know others may find that unappetizing, but meat for us should be eaten with some good old carbs. You don’t eat a nice piece of steak with some green salads, or you’ll end up messing your stomach later, and would surely frequent the comfort room,” explained Carlo Nguyen from Vietnam. Chef Marlon Kiel on the other hand has seen different people order different sides according to their different preferences, “I noticed that Westerners would often have their steaks with some kale and potato gratin. Others like garlicky roasted broccoli. I personally prefer braised radishes with carrots.” “As long as the gravy is good, the steak will be fine,” simply remarked Louie Smith from Connecticut.
