Meadesmoore @ Boon Tat Street - Modern Steakhouse Dedicated to Exceptional Cuts of Beef

Meadesmoore, a modern steakhouse nestled in Telok Ayer, has unveiled an enticing new menu that puts a contemporary twist on timeless classics. The menu focuses on unusual cuts of meat sourced from award-winning and premium producers worldwide.

Kuju Kushima Oyster Mornay 4/5

We kickstarted our dinner with the Kuju Kushima Oyster Mornay ($14 for 2pc), a delightful starter featuring plump and juicy oysters paired with wilted spinach and enveloped in a coat of reduced cream and grana padano. The dish elevated the briny oysters to new heights of richness and flavour.

Chilled Crusted Bone Marrow 4/5

Next up, the Chilled Crusted Bone Marrow ($24) impressed with its flavour profile, enhanced by the calabrese chilli and parmesan crust, which provided an added texture contrast. Served with grilled sourdough, it offered a satisfyingly indulgent experience.

3 Days Dry Aged Ribeye 4.5/5

Moving on to the star of the show, the 3 Days Dry Aged Ribeye ($82, 300g) sourced from Rioplatense, Argentina, stole the spotlight. Cooked to perfection at medium rare, the tender and flavourful meat showcased the intensification of flavours from the dry ageing process, retaining all its juiciness and richness. While accompanying sauces were available, I found sheer delight in savouring the steak with just a simple sprinkle of salt to appreciate its natural essence.

Full Blood Wagyu Flat Iron 4.5/5

The 2GR Black Label Full Blood Wagyu Flat Iron ($75, 220g) sourced from Queensland, Australia, was equally impressive. Despite being a flat iron cut, its high marbling score of 9+ promised a mouthwatering melt-in-the-mouth texture. Like the ribeye, it shone with its natural beefy flavour, requiring nothing more than a dash of salt to enhance its perfection.

Ratte Potato Puree 4.5/5

Roasted Honey Saffron Cauliflower 4.2/5

Complementing the mains were sides of Ratte Potato Puree ($18), smooth, buttery, and creamy, dressed with arbequina EVO oil and chives, and the Roasted Honey Saffron Cauliflower ($16), boasting a hint of smokiness and char, balanced with a delightful crunch and spiced with dukkah for an aromatic finish.

Cheesecake Crepe 4.8/5

To conclude the meal on a sweet note, the Cheesecake Crepe ($20) proved to be a showstopper. Flambeed tableside, the cheesecake crepe, accompanied by caramelized seasonal fruits, delighted the palate with its soft texture and perfectly complemented salted caramel sauce. It was a divine finale that left a lasting impression.

Note: This is an invited tasting.

Fourgather @ Telok Ayer Street - Newest Modern Thai Restaurant with Fusion Flavours in Vibrant Thai Street Food-Themed Space

Discover Fourgather, the latest addition to Telok Ayer's dining scene, tucked away within Amoy Hotel. Upon entering, you'll be greeted by a vibrant and eclectic ambience carefully curated by its four co-owners.

The casual restaurant is divided into two spaces adorned with stylish decor pieces imported from Thailand. Combined with lively background music, we definitely felt like we were transported to the Land of Smiles. The extensive menu features both authentic Thai dishes and creative items of fusion flavours.

Beverages

The beverage menu offers a wide variety, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Opting for non-alcoholic choices, we selected Thai Chrysanthemum ($5.50), Pandan Thai Milk Tea ($5.50), Butterfly Pea Lemonade Soda ($7.90), and Soya Bean Milk Tea ($6.50). While slightly pricey, we appreciated that the drinks weren't overly sweet, with the fragrant Thai Chrysanthemum standing out for its lovely herbal notes.

Fourgather Matchstick Wings 4.8/5

The Fourgather Matchstick Wings ($11.90) is a must-try! The 10 split mid-joint wings are marinated in a housemade aromatic sauce and expertly fried to perfection. They are so juicy, crunchy and addictive. Remember to enjoy them with the fragrant, crispy garlic for an extra burst of flavour.

Roasted Rice Pork - Moo Koop Foon 4.5/5

Before this dinner, I had never tried nor heard about Roasted Rice Pork — Moo Koop Foon ($18.90). This deep-fried pork dish is coated with roasted rice and finished with chilli powder, giving it an extra texture dimension on its exterior. Much like the Matchstick Wings, the pork is fried to a perfect crunch while retaining its juiciness inside.

Thai Style Kang Kong - Morning Glory 4/5

We opted for the Thai Style Kang Kong - Morning Glory ($12.90) as our vegetable dish. While the taste was as expected, the portion size was small for the price.

Thai Fried Kway Teow - Pad See Ew 3.5/5

One of our favourite Thai mains is Pad See Ew ($14.90), the classic Thai Fried Kway Teow. We ordered it here as well but were disappointed to find it lacked the wok hei.

Thai Train Fried Rice - Khao Pad Rod Fai 3.5/5

We were curious about the Thai Train Fried Rice ($13.90), which we later learned was named after a popular dish sold by vendors at train stations. It was average on its own, but it was better when paired with a side of Thai fish sauce and cut chillies.

Green Curry Chicken with Roti 4.2/5

If you prefer less thick and creamy Thai green curries, go for the Green Curry Chicken with Roti ($15.90). The fragrant curry was loaded with assorted vegetables and chicken bites. Make sure to dip the roti pieces while it's hot for that crisp.

Yum Salmon 4.2/5

Yum Salmon ($26.90) is one of the raw marinated seafood dishes on the menu, next to Yum Raw Prawn ($20.90) and Yum Puu Maa — Flower Crabs ($39.90). The salmon sashimi comes in thick chunks, tossed in a salivating tangy-spicy Thai sauce mix.

Tom Yum Soup - Seafood 4/5

Between the creamy and clear Tom Yum Soup ($24.90), we went with the former. Fourgather's rendition leaned a bit more to the sweet end while staying decently fragrant with the classic tom yum herbs of lemongrass, galangal and kaffir lime. Apart from Seafood, you can choose other toppings, such as Vegetable ($13.90), Chicken ($16.90) and Prawn ($19.90).

Fisherman’s Harvest - Fried Fish Miang 4.2/5

Consider trying the fried whole fish dishes when dining here in a group. The Fisherman's Harvest - Fried Fish Miang ($44.90) was perfect for sharing and presented impressively. The fried fish chunks, conveniently boneless, boast a meaty texture with a light crispiness. Served with a whole tray of vibrant condiments and various chillies, diners are encouraged to wrap the fish chunks with vegetables and select their preferred condiments, akin to our familiar Korean BBQ wraps. It was refreshing and interactive, ideal for enjoying in a group.

Coconut Ice Cream 4.2/5

Our desserts started with the classic Coconut Ice Cream ($8.90) served with fresh coconut meat and crushed peanuts. Although it was quite pricey, it was good, mildly sweet, and creamy.

Freshly Made Red Ruby 3.5/5

Next was the Freshly Made Red Ruby ($9.90) served with jackfruit and coconut meat. While the red rubies were expectedly crunchy, we found the chewy tapioca flour exterior to be too thin in ratio.

Thai Butter Toast 4/5

Seeing the Thai Butter Toast ($9.90) reminded us of Thailand's popular After You Cafe! Choose between steamed or toasted toasts, and they will be served with housemade pandan custard dip and Thai milk tea dip. The portion could definitely do with more toasts at this price tag.

Although the prices may be on the higher side, we found the overall experience and ambience at Fourgather to be enjoyable. The food was generally well-balanced in flavours - being flavourful and avoiding being too oily, overly sweet or salty. Surprisingly, the sides impressed us more than the mains.

The restaurant also serves Lunch Sets available between 11.30am to 3pm (last order at 2.30pm) at more attractive price points.
