because post call with no dinner and no breakfast. had the opportunity to try the ribeye at garang grill and it definitely did not disappoint. all the talk about charcoal grills and Mibrasas and maillard reactions aside, you are hit with a wonderful smoky aroma when the beef reaches the table. the crust boasts a wonderful char and the steak is cooked to a perfect medium rare. with USDA prime the beef flavour is big and bold; such is the case with this meat.

the garang rice is also enhanced with bits of chili padi. not enough to melt off the tongue, just enough to provide a gentle warmth. it is at once savoury, oily and spicy - satisfying to say the least.

at $18 per 100g of meat it isn't cheap. But it definitely is comparable to beef from other top steakhouses in Singapore. in my opinion the beef itself comes close to the prime rib from morton's (such sacrilege there)

garang grill occupies the space where Slake used to be at swan lake avenue. it's a few stores down from plank which is where my favourite pizza is 😛
