Lawry's The Prime Rib has a reputation that precedes them. They serve one of, if not the best prime ribs in Singapore. They are located in a quiet corner, in Level 4 Mandarin Gallery. The restaurant is of a cozy American setting and the staff are welcoming and cheerful. Arriving for my reservation at 6.45pm, I had a window seat at the restaurant where I had my meal as the sky transitioned from sunset to dusk. The ambience and service was wonderful. I ordered the Lawry's Cut 285g - Lawry's traditional and most popular cut [$120] with the sides of Creamed Corn [$12], Creamed Spinach [$12] and Equil Sparkling Water [$8.50].⁣

Complimentary: "The Famous Original Spinning Bowl Salad"⁣
Our server mixed the salad on a bowl spun on a bed of ice that made for good theatrics enhancing my experience at Lawry's. This was a salad starter with good acidity served with a chilled fork that made me hungrier for the meal to come.⁣

"Lawry's Cut 285g - Lawry's traditional and most popular cut" [$120]⁣
Not for the faint hearted, this giant piece of meat was served from a silver wagon where the chef cut it from different prime ribs of different "doneness". I ordered mine to be "medium-rare" and sure enough, the eye of the prime rib was red and cooked to absolute precision. The flavour of the prime rib together with the meat jus it was soaking in was outstanding.⁣

Sides:⁣
Complimentary: "US Idaho Mashed Potato"⁣
Smooth and buttery. A classic pairing to prime ribs.⁣
⁣
"Creamed Corn" [$12]⁣
Creamy, sweet and but not overpowering with the flavours of corn. This was the best side that most wonderfully complemented my prime rib. I very much enjoyed it and will definitely order it when I come back again.⁣
⁣
"Creamed Spinach" [$12]⁣
I am not the biggest fan of creamed spinach but I could tell that they had perfected the recipe. It was creamy and had a subtle taste of spinach within each bite. Tasty but still, it was not the dish for me and I will not order it again although it was done perfect.⁣

Overall, my experience at Lawry's The Prime Rib had been nothing short of extraordinary. I definitely broke the bank but I will go back...Just not so soon. -Foodier✌🏻
