By CHERYLENE CHAN save article share

Munch your way through 'Murica's most iconic eats at these restaurants around the

island

Besides giving us Net�ix (http://thehoneycombers.com/singapore/net�ix-in-singapore-

the-american-internet-television-network-will-be-available-in-early-2016/) and solid craft

beers (http://thehoneycombers.com/singapore/craft-beers-in-singapore-bars-and-shops-

that-o�er-unique-hops-and-brews-in-the-city/), America is home to some seriously soul-

satisfying food scattered through its 50 states, from Maryland’s crab cakes to

Philadelphia’s cheesesteak sandwiches. Thankfully, with the ever-growing pool of

American restaurants in Singapore, we have plenty of places to chow down on burgers,

mac and cheese, sticky ribs and more. Here are our favourite spots – you might need a

Grand Canyon-sized appetite to get through all of ’em.

Overeasy

Loved equally for its kitschy vibe and dressed-up yet unpretentious grub, this all-

American restaurant now has two spots to visit: the waterfront One Fullerton outlet with

killer views of Marina Bay’s skyline, and a spankin’ new Orchard Road outpost that’s great

for people-watching. Star dishes on the menu include the tru�e burger (with a wagyu

beef mince patty, tru�e-infused mayonnaise, three di�erent cheeses, sauteed onions

and mushrooms in a grilled brioche bun), the Mac and Cheeks – crammed with

beautifully braised beef cheeks, and the bourbon donut holes with homemade fudge. To

wash down all that hearty grub, we suggest ordering their alcohol-spiked milkshakes and

slushies.

Manhattan Bar

Manhattan

Evoking the swanky watering holes of New York City’s Great Gatsby era, Manhattan is the

�rst bar in the world with an in-hotel rickhouse, which is used to age bitters and single-

cask cocktails, as well as store exquisite spirits. A special ingredients room also houses

heaps of intriguing �avour enhancers, such as smoked sea salt and wild cherry bark.

While most �ock to the bar for their NYC-inspired cocktail menu (designed to represent

the iconic ‘hoods), their modern bites are also worth a shout – think street-style hot dogs

($15), beef sliders ($20) and deconstructed lobster rolls ($26). Swing by their Sunday

cocktail brunch ($150++) for homemade pancakes and bagels, freshly-shucked oysters,

smoked foies gras and a build-your-own Bloody Mary station.

Luke’s Oyster Bar & Chophouse

For your �ll of seafood from the East Coast, head to this classy spot in the trendy

Chinatown enclave. As its name implies, their selection of fresh, raw oysters ($48 for six,

$96 for a dozen) are not to be missed, along with the thick, creamy clam chowder ($18),

lobster pot pie ($110) and crab cakes ($47). Meanwhile, meat lovers can dive into their

tender chops ($65-$90), ranging from Kurobuta pork to prime ribeye beef. For dessert,

�nd comfort in timeless treats like key lime pie and ($16) and a double chocolate fudge

brownie served with a scoop of peanut butter ice cream. Delish!

Opened by the folks behind Jigger and Pony, this Seattle-style joint serves up plump,

fresh oysters �own in from Hama Hama and small plates like fried kale, pecan nuts and

pear slices in an addictive buttermilk sauce ($14), prawns with smoked paprika, fennel

and cerignola olives ($20), and beef short rib with broccolini and carrot puree ($23). Fancy

a tipple? Ex-Sugarhall barkeep Long Yishu mixes enticing concoctions like the jasmine and

pear gin & tonic, and the savoury Red Snapper – vodka, clamato juice and pickled prawns.

Meatsmith

MeatSmith

This lively modern smokehouse specialises in thrillingly tender, juicy meats prepared on

site using smokers specially �own in from the States. Their beef brisket ($25) hits the spot

with just enough charred and fatty bits, while their fried chicken ($22 for half, $40 for

whole) is battered to perfection. If you’re going in a group, load up on comforting sides

like rich, piping hot bacon mac and cheese ($8) and mustard potato salad ($5). Drinks-

wise, they have a range of craft beers, classic cocktails and bourbon; we encourage you

to down the famous pickleback (a whisky shot chased with pickle brine) at least once.

A trip to New York City isn’t complete without visiting this brekkie mecca, which has

practically perfected its �u�y pancake stack. If you aren’t visiting the Big Apple, you can

now get your �x at the cafe’s new Southeast Asian branch here. The aforementioned

pancakes come in three mouthwatering �avours – blueberry, chocolate chip and banana

walnut. Other highlights include the crispy potato pancakes with house-smoked salmon

and crème fraîche, and their hot fudge sundae topped with a generous mound of

whipped cream.

Version 2 Mac & Cheese Royale ($20.50) gussied up with tru�e oil and wild mushrooms.

Steak served with a stunning view of Marina Bay – what’s not to like? Perched atop

Singapore Land Tower, Sear prides itself in richly marbled cuts of meat – Kobe rib eye,

Australian Jack’s Creek wagyu and more – cooked to a tee in their European charcoal

ovens. Each steak (from $65 to $340) can be paired with one of seven signature sauces,

from salsa verde to bordelaise with soft bone marrow.

Roosevelt’s Diner & Bar

setting. Get your �ngers messy with their lip-smacking BBQ baby back ribs (half portion

$22, full portion $28) and candied bacon beef burger ($20), and round o� your meal with

sweet o�erings like the apple forest berries crumble ($8).

chow like buttermilk chicken and wa�es ($20) with bourbon maple butter sauce and

ginormous, heart-stropping Beast burger ($125); crammed with 1.6 pounds of beef, a

pound of buttermilk chicken and a pound of slow-cooked pork, it’s enough to feed four

hungry adults.

The Market Grill

This snazzy, industrial-chic restaurant has us salivating after its sizzling meats and

naturally �avourful seafood. The buttery chargrilled lobster is a top choice, as is their

sinful burgers – for a unique take, try the Bleu Cheese ($25 for 150g, $34 for 200g). The

complex beef patty burger comes with bleu cheese, sweet burnt onion marmalade, and

bacon sandwiched in a walnut raisin bun.

Suprette

Suprette

Taking up the ground �oor of Kam Leng Hotel, Suprette is a worthy stop for its signature

burger ($25). Think a thick, perfectly cooked beef patty wrapped in melted gruyere

cheese, soft sesame-speckled buns and an avalanche of fries on the side. Drop by in the

day to try their brunch line-up, which includes the duck hash ($14) served with sunny

side-ups, pickled veggies and mesclun salad and The Besar Breakfast ($21), which comes

with eggs, bacon, ham, sausage, roasted potatoes, mushrooms and homemade baked

beans.

jalapeño poppers and hush puppies.

Morganfield’s

Self-proclaimed as the “home of sticky bones”, it’s no surprise that Morgan�eld’s

signature dish is fork-tender, rustic pork ribs – their classic, hickory wood-smoked version

is coated in an addictive, cider-infused barbecue sauce. Char-grilled chicken, succulent

pork chops, steaks and seafood round out the menu.

boldly-named dishes like Big Ass Onion Rings ($10) accompanied by honey mustard

mayonnaise, and the Hot Mama burger ($24) topped with jalapeno, guacamole, salsa,

cheddar and sour cream, you can de�nitely expect big �avour here. Plus, you can build

the burger of your fantasies with three di�erent kinds of meats – wagyu beef, chunky

pork belly and cajun chicken – and a smorgasbord of toppings and sauces.

Handlebar Singapore

Handlebar

Hidden in a far-�ung corner of Sembawang, this gritty biker’s bar whips up unfussy, fare

with brow-raising names like the Beer Butt Chicken ($45) and Slap Yo Mamma Pork Chop

($25). Want to prove you’re tough as nails? Try your best to �nish a platter of their gnarly,

a twist. Gather your posse to share playful bites like Naughty Fries ($14) slathered in

good ol’ chili and cheese and fried �sh tacos ($8), apple sauce chops ($30) and the

salacious-sounding Deep Fried S&M ($14) – fried, beer-battered Snickers and Mars bars

with vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce and berry compote. If you’re here to pre-game,

check out their tidy list of craft beers and cheeky cocktails.

If you’re no stranger to The Big Apple, then you’re probably well-acquainted

with NYC burger institution, Burger Joint. The new Singaporean outlet, hidden away in

Gemmill Lane, brings to mind retro diners and unpretentious American fare. This

simplicity works in its favour; by eschewing exotic sauces and even salt and pepper,

you’re left with a burger that easily shows o� the quality of its ingredients. The proof is in

the �rst bite of your burger – from the crisp, fresh lettuce and onions to the generous

portions of melty cheese and, of course, the all-beef patties (served at your choice of

doneness; we recommend the medium).

Dallas Restaurant & Bar

Turning ten in style, this American bistro entered a new chapter when it recently unveiled

its gorgeous, glass-housed outlet at Suntec City’s Sky Garden. So what has kept it in the

game so long? Finger-lickin’ mains like its decadent pork ribs, slow-cooked for two hours

to achieve a perfect texture that’s tender without being �aky, a full rack of Fiery Ribs that

will will test your spice tolerance, and the Berry Ribs that o�er a unique but decidedly

moreish tangy berry glaze.
