Carnivore |
Carnivore
is one of the leading Brazilian Churrasco restaurants in Singapore
just opened its latest outlet in Grandstand. Like the rest of its
outlet, Carnivore is a buffet restaurant, so for meat lovers, this is
a place you must try. We were there for lunch during Deepavali and
apparently it was only open for seven days according to the service
staff.

Are you ready? |
If you
never been to Carnivore before, it has a very interesting concept.
After you are seated, order your drinks and proceed to the buffet
counter for your side dishes and sauces. Once you are back to your
seat, put the sign for SIM, Por Favour (Yes, Please). The knife
wielding Passadors (meat waiters) will come to you individually and
sever you with the rotisserie-roasted selection of meat. This will
goes on and on until you turn the sign to NÃO, Obrigado (No,
Thanks).

Ready to Eat |
Check out
the following on what on offers for on the sauces, salads and side
dishes. My suggestions are to stick with something light. Our
favourites were the Tomato and Mozarella Cheese, Mash Potatoes and
Mushrooms Salad. For sauces, make sure you try Chimichurri, Homemade
BBQ Sauce and Capsicum Vinaigrette. Those tangy and acidic sauce will
be good to break down the fats in the meat and allow you to eat more.

We
started on our Carnivore Gastronomic journey with Pork Sausage. It is
thick, slightly salty and a bit dry. It will be good if the sausage
has more fat in it. Lamb Shoulder, although the board says leg of
lamb, I was told by the Passador it was lamb shoulder. It is juicy
with slight pinkish in the middle. Expect the lamb to be a springy
texture but delicious. Ham, similar taste to our day to day ham,
except it is a bit drier due to the roasting.

Chicken
thigh was well seasoned, tender and succulent. In comparison the
Chicken breast with bacon was on the drier side. If you get the Beef
Rump on the first cut, it's the best. Nicely done with a good charred
and well balance of fats and meat. The best cut of the day in my
opinion.

Beef Tenderloin |
Pork
belly was all right, with minimum fats but I find it missing the
juiciness. Instead tasting like being grilled, it has a texture more
like a smoked pork belly. The Beef tenderloin was also good, but it
was not as tender and juicy compare to the rump. The fish thick and
flavourful. They will need to use those big fishes so the meat does
not break down easily.

At the
end the first cycle of meat, the Passador served the grilled
pineapple. It is juicy with a nice caramelisation on the outer part.
Good to cut through the jelakness and overwhelming sensation from too
much meat. We actually have additional 2 servings of beef, lamb and
pineapple before we turn the sign to NÃO, Obrigado (No, Thanks).

For
desserts, there is an ice kacang station. Yes, this might not be
Brazilian, but I never hear anyone complain about ice kacang right :)

Service
was excellent, the service staff was very attentive and informative.
He actually recommend the Brazilian Guarana. Tasted like red bull
with more gas and less sugar. They also clear our plate regularly.

The décor
is very simple, nice and clean. There are lots of natural light, as
they use glasses as wall for the section wall facing the outdoor.

Overall,
it has been ages since we had our last Brazilian Churrasco. If you
have are a meat lover, you must give this place a try. The food here
is good, and we find the buffet lunch is really value for money and
enough time to digest those proteins. We actually had simple and
light dinner that day, as we were stuffed from the lunch. Cheers!!
