Meat’N’Chill Review: A Finer Lickin Chill Time

Bukit Timah is a pretty difficult place to get to, and I remember murmuring “this better be good” to myself as I sat down. Against all odds, I left the restaurant extremely sated and excited to spread word of this place.

Meat N Chill is an American barbeque restaurant on the first floor of sixth avenue centre. It exudes a casual atmosphere with painted wooden tables, vintage posters on the wall, bottles of beer lining the shelves and WWE championship belts. Buffalo Wings ($9) A must have item at every casual American establishment, these guys did not disappoint.

I anticipated my lips to burn with so much of that homemade spicy sauce being drizzled over the chicken, but they weren’t too bad. The skin in addition remained crispy after the fifteen minutes it took for me to get all these shots, which is quite an achievement in itself.

Mac & Cheese ($17) While you can’t expect gourmet cheese at that rate point, this Mac & Cheese is tasty enough to placate lovers of all things cheese. It arrives sizzling and bubbling, and rifling through it is a sight to behold as strands of cheese dangle from your fork as you lift it into your gaping mouth.

I just wished that there was a little more bacon in there to add another savour besides cheese. Smoked in house with homemade marinades, the ribs are delicious and priced incredibly well. I’ve been to a few BBQ joints of late, and I have to say that most of these places left me sour since I felt like I paid too much for something “meh”.

But Meat N Chill delivered the best ribs I’ve had in awhile at $19.90. They weren’t over smoked and had a pleasant aroma to them, the sauce was sweet and smokey, and the ribs weren’t dry either.

If I really had to nitpick I’d say I wished there would be more meat on the ribs, but for $19.90 I’ll settle. The Meat’N’Chill Experience Overall, the experience here was above average, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone craving for something meaty especially if you’re in the area. Stick to the ribs though, as the steak just isn’t as good, and you’ll get a whole lot more value for money with the ribs.
