Calling all meat lovers and those passionate about a good steak—there is a new steak bar in town that you will not want to miss.

Sharing the same shop space as The Bao Makers, Butler’s Steakbar is the newest resident eatery along the food-laden Jiak Chuan Road. Like its name suggests, diners can expect to tuck into to luxurious steaks, gourmet burgers and possibly the crispiest French fries around.

Although a spot like Jiak Chuan Road may be home to a considerable amount of fine-dining establishments, you can rest assured that dining here is anything but expensive. Priding themselves with serving up exceptional cuts of beef and a variety of gourmet dishes without an overly exorbitant price tag attached, Butler’s Steakbar is one that all steak lovers should check out.

Butler’s Steakbar and The Bao Makers join the list of restaurants with dual concepts that transform through the day.

The Bao Makers operates in the day while Butler’s Steakbar takes over its operations at night. Their menu features anything from gourmet burgers, sensational sides and of course not forgetting their signature Butler Steak.

Make no mis-steak, although prices here for food are rather affordable compared to its fine-dining neighbours, what you can expect at Butler’s Steakbar is nothing short of delicious.

The restaurant’s pride and joy—the Butler Steak—is a black Angus flat iron steak and it is only available in limited portions daily.

For the uninitiated, the flat iron is a steak cut that comes from the shoulder of the cow. The flat iron is rich in beefy flavours and is also incredibly tender when cooked properly, but the only flaw of this particular cut is a thick piece of connective tissue that runs through the middle of it—which experienced cooks should all know to remove before cooking.

Modestly seasoned without overwhelming the natural flavour of the beef, the Butler’s Steak comes with a simple side salad and a serving of rock salt that really helps to bring out the natural flavours of the black Angus.

Fat Belly is a new speakeasy-style steakhouse in Singapore that shares the same space with its sister brand and ice cream joint, Sugarhaus, at Serene Centre. It only opens in the evening, occupying the counter seats at the back of the ice cream parlour.

This 10-seater steakhouse is helmed by chef-owner Stanley Seow, who specialises in alternative, less well-known cuts of beef such as the Flat Iron, which is essentially a cut taken from the shoulder of a cow—generally much less tender than a tenderloin or even a ribeye but let us leave it to the expert to prove us otherwise.

The menu is small and concise. Choose either the Flat Iron (S$22) or the juicy well-marbled Short Rib (S$25). Instead of drowning their steaks in an overly rich sauce, they are treated with a modest seasoning of salt and a house-made chimichurri sauce that comes served on the side—simple, yet ideal for meat as flavourful as this.

Some side dishes to consider are their Guanciale Mac & Cheese (S$5), Salted Thyme Mushrooms (S$5) and the surprisingly addictive, Creamed Kale (S$5).

For dessert, don’t miss out on the unusual Foie Gras Ice Cream (S$13) that comes served with candied bananas, Speculoos and roasted nuts.
