Fat Belly, the community steakhouse hiding in plain sight in the Bukit Timah area specialises in lesser-known cuts of beef and other meats.  As its name suggests, it focuses on charcoal-grilled meat.  After my visit, I’m convinced that the starters and sides are worth having too!

Fat Belly 01
The Toasted Sourdough ($6) and Raclette Cheese ($18) is the perfect starter to whet your appetite.  The slices of toasted sourdough were such good carbs to heap melted gooey cheese and crispy pieces of bacon on.  The hot melted cheese is sooo good, I recommend this as the starter to have when you visit Fat Belly.

The Chef recommended 2 different cuts of meat. The first is the American Wagyu Picanha ($55).  The steak had a hearty beef flavour with very subtle sweetness.  This meat is cut from a triangle-shaped muscle that tops the sirloin so its distinctive feature is the rump cap.

The second was a Full-Blood Wagyu MS-8/9 Denver ($65).  The Denver steak has an excellent marbling to fat ratio.  This was my preferred cut out of the two, with a more tender and buttery mouthfeel.

Such beautiful marbling! 
Fat Belly 04
We had the fried brussels sprouts ($14) as our side and it delivered.  Smoky crunchy halves of the buds are tossed in a salty-sweet gram caramel and savoury granola made with toasted pepitas, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds and fried shallots.  It is no wonder the chef said that this is one of their signature dishes on the menu. 
Fat Belly 06
To end the meal, we had their Signature Tiramisu ($14), which features a layer of coffee atop sponge biscuits and a generous amount of chantily cream.  

Fat Belly had a steady crowd of people dropping by even on a weekday evening.  They have indoor seating and outdoors seating, with the indoor seating split into counter seats and table seats.  If you are there in a smaller group, the counter seats will allow you to have a clear view of the action going on at the grill whereas the table seats will be more comfortable for the larger groups.  

Budget: $40 to $60 per person
