FBG still remains the laidback community steakhouse in Bukit Timah with a hearty menu of sharing plates and a vision to showcase a rotating list of secondary cuts of beef sourced from the best farms around the world.
The dinner tasting started off with several starters such as the Fried Camembert Cheese ($17), Chopped Caesar ($14) and Roasted Hokkaido Scallops ($18), the latter served with a chickpea salsa and hollandaise. Paying homage to the original Caesar salad, the Chopped Caesar comes with Romaine lettuce and rubbed kale that are tossed in a tequila anchovy dressing. Moving onto the mains, FBG adopts a minimalist approach to the meats, the carefully sourced cuts are simply grilled over charcoal flames, rested then sliced and served. We had the privilege to sample three cuts of steak, starting with the 2GR Full-Blood Wagyu Denver MS-6/7 ($67) which is a highly marbled steak with lots of richness and flavour before diving into the Jack’s Creek F1 Wagyu Deckle MS-4/5 ($58), notably my favourite of the night. This cut of steak has the perfect amount marbling while still giving a nice beefy flavour in the overall bite. The best way to enjoy it is just to dip it in some sea salt and let the flavours overwhelm your senses. Finally, the Rioplatense Argentinian Grass-fed Ribeye which has the juiciest bite and beefiest flavour.
To complement the steak cuts, FBG serves a variety of sides from their popular Fried Brussels Sprouts ($14) to Pomme Puree ($10) and Grilled Broccolini ($14), the classic sides that you should get when at a steakhouse. You have got to save stomach space for FBG’s sweet treats too with desserts such as Stan’s Tiramisu ($14), New York Cheesecake ($12) and Burnt Chocolate Mousse ($16), with the chocolate mousse the most interesting out of the lot. It features dark chocolate made from 65% Guanaja and is blended with silken tofu to give it a light texture that is almost reminiscent of eating a sorbet, and finished with a refreshing yuzu sorbet, deep-fried walnuts, and dark chocolate tuile.
