iberian pork secreto medium well S$26
the iberian pork secreto medium well S$26 was perfect too.
secreto had good marbling, flavourful & very well done, charred ont he outside, and sauce very tasty also. server advised the recommended doneness is medium well.
i googled secreto. found that it’s a secret butcher’s cut, not too specific, could be a cut near the belly. anyway it was a very good tasting cut.
100day grain fed black angus ribeye rare S$34
the 100day grain fed black angus ribeye rare S$34 also very good.
very tender, and sweet.
100day grain fed black angus ribeye medium rare S$34
i think good & fair price for a 100day grain fed black angus ribeye at S$34, and great value when there is 1 for 1. 🙂

the 2oog rib eye steak was served with a tub of fries. 🙂
dinner for 4pax was about S$160, including of 1 for 1 alcoholic drinks from 4pm – 9pm. the white wine we had was very good, the whisky (fott-step in the dark) was useless, just whicky on the rocks…w/o the drinks it would have been about S$115. very good value! ^^
