In April 2019, Ginett Singapore
introduced A Dry Ager Fridge usually found in a modern steakhouse and specialised
butcher. With dry-ageing, the meat goes through a natural stage of tenderising
itself with its own enzymes to reach the perfect texture and flavour. The
optimum period of dry ageing is between four to six weeks.

We tried 3 different types of steak
to taste the difference between dry aged and non-dry aged steaks. Australian 30
to 36 months Pasture Fed Angus Beef Rib Eye MB3+ (Natural free range,
antibiotic and hormone free, $36 for 250 gram); Australian Black Angus MB3+ Rib
Eye dry aged for 3 weeks and 6 weeks ($48 for 250 gram)

All of the steaks are grilled on
Mibrasa Charcoal Oven, where the steaks will have a nice seared and smoky
flavour to it. We started with the non-dry aged beef. In each bite, you can
taste the meaty texture of the beef and it has a slight chewiness as the steak
is not that fatty. A very flavourful
beef.

For the 3 weeks dry aged
Australian Black Angus MB3+, you can taste the juiciness of the steak. Although
it is more tender compared to the non-aged steak, there is still a solid bite
of meatiness on the steak. Meanwhile, 6 weeks dry aged Australian Black Angus
MB3+ will make you go WOW. The meat is juicy and succulent, and as it slowly
melts in your mouth the intense flavour of the beef will make you go MOO MOO.
Awesome!!

The steaks come with 3 different
sauces Blue Cheese Sauce, Pepper Sauce and Béarnaise. My personal preference is
the béarnaise as I like the creaminess in the sauce.

Price includes choice of any 2
sides: Creamy Spinach, Mesclun Salad, Mashed Potatoes, Ratatouille, Mushroom
Fricassée, Potato Wedges. We tried the Creamy Spinach, Ratatouille and Mushroom
Fricassée. All three are equally good; however, the creamy just stands out for me.
It was creamy, delicious and addictive.

Thursday night at Ginett is also
known as Oyster Night. Each Fine de Claire oysters (regular price $26 for 6
pcs, $48 for 12 pcs) is selling for $1 on that night. It is juicy and brainy
like you can taste the ocean in your mouth.

For another main, we ordered
Scottish Salmon ($32). Nicely cooked thick cut of salmon fillet, the skin is
seared until it is crispy, while the flesh remains moist and flaky. The creamy
spinach paired nicely with the salmon.

While we are waiting for the main
dishes, we were served the sourdough bread. It is crisp and chewy. I suggest
trying to eat the bread with creamy spinach. I made it like canapes, the bread
absorbs the cream nicely and softens the sourdough as well. Yummy.

It is best to save some space for
desserts, they are sublime. We tried Baba au Rhum ($14), Paris Brest ($18) and
Chocolate Tart ($12).
Baba au Rhum is light and refreshing.
The yeast-risen cake swimming in the middle of vanilla infused rum syrup. The
combination of bread like cake with chilled syrup is just light and refreshing.

Paris Brest has a nice crispy
pastry, filled with delectable hazelnut cream. The nut on top is a bit strong, as
the peanut butter taste slightly overpowered the hazelnut.

Meanwhile, the chocolate tart is
made from solid dark chocolate. It has a rich chocolate bitterness and nicely
balanced with the crunchiness from pecan ice cream. A must try for chocolate
lovers.

The décor of Ginett is modern
with the bar as the centre of the attention in the room. However, the new dry
ager fridge steals some thunder from the bar. The combination of artistic
photograph, plants and wine & cheese board made the dining feels like a European
restaurant. The service is attentive and friendly.

Overall, it was nice to return to
Ginett. The new dry aged steak menu is definitely something to look forward to.
I am impressed with the overall dining experience in Ginett. The $1 oyster on
Thursday night is indeed a lucrative offer. Cheers!!
Thank you very much to Ai Ling
and Ginett Singapore team for the hosting us.
