The second venture by chef-owner Andrew Walsh of Cure, Butcher Boy is an Asian-inspired grill set in Keong Saik. Expect a host of grilled meat mains, Asian-centric buns, moreish snacks and luscious sundaes. What's more, the ambience is laid-back and there's a DJ booth, making it a great space to wind down in after a long day at the office. Dishes worth trying include the Iberico Pork Belly ($32), the Duck Banh Mi with Liver Pate and Sriracha ($18) and the foolproof Butcher Boy Bacon & Cheese Burger with Fries ($28). Their two-page beverage menu is compact but sufficient. Kick back with a Japanese craft beer or knock back a cocktail — the rum-based Smoking Carriage ($22) with salted caramel syrup and orange will take any edge off. Save space for dessert as the sundaes are truly decadent. The Peanut Butter Ice Cream and Plum Jelly Sandwich ($10) is a spin on a classic that'll still hit the spot. Butcher Boy opens for lunch on Fridays and Saturdays. Come Sundays, they serve up a Sunday Roast menu of slow-roasted meats that'll have you well fed before the end of the weekend.
Avg Price: $50 per person

It was cathartic penning down my woeful experience at Butcher Boy [http://secretlifeoffatbacks.com/2017/08/butcher-boy-singapore-of-disappointment-and-phantom-discounts/], thank you everybody who reached out to me privately about this.

As somebody (and probably a number of female pop stars) once said: "Shame on you, if you fool me once. Shame on me if you fool me twice."
Small plates, banh mi dishes and sharing portions of various meats - from the Iberico Pork Belly to the John Stones Irish Rib Eye, paired with your choice of sauce such as the Yuzu Bearnaise and Sambal - round up the savoury offerings, with a small selection of desserts and cocktails for post-chow treats. I think I may require a second round of grub elsewhere though, as the portions are fairly Lilliputian.
PS There is an on-going soft launch promo - 20% off the total bill when you dine from 10 to 20 August 2017. However, upon receiving the bill, I was told that the discount is already accounted for in the prices you see on the printed menus, which....is a claim that doesn't sit very well with me, particularly given the phrasing of "20% off the food/total bill" appearing in all promotional literature. I feel really, really ripped off. [I wrote about the woeful experience on http://secretlifeoffatbacks.com/2017/08/butcher-boy-singapore-of-disappointment-and-phantom-discounts/
