Smokin' Joe

Premium New Zealand Reserved Ribeye Steak ($18)
Served with fries, house salad and brown sauce.

Our first visit to Smokin Joe at the Yishun Park Hawker Centre. Yes, they are the western food hawker stall which invested $10K in a premium oven. Such premium grill promises 'to seal in a rustic and smoky flavour in meat', and is usually found in high-end steak houses.

The grill today was more than perfect (you can judge by the color and texture of the steak from the photos!). Their brown sauce was awesome. We eagerly planned for another night here, completed with a good bottle of red.

Alas, it was not to be. 

The ribeye steak was dry, and has few tough-to-chew veins. The Kurobuta pork collar ($18, 200g pork served with fries, corn and house salad) was juicy and flavorsome. But without a reliable good steak, we couldn't find a reason to come back..
