Beef Bro Review: Halal Flame-Grilled Beef Cubes With Mentaiko And Cheese At Tampines

Flame-grilled mentaiko beef cubes at Beef Bro You may remember these flame-torched mentaiko beef cubes from this year’s Geylang Serai Ramadan Bazaar , where Beef Bro made their first appearance.

Beef Bro Review: Halal Flame-Grilled Beef Cubes With Mentaiko And Cheese At Tampines

The beef cubes were so well received there that in August this year, a permanent stall was opened to satisfy beef junkies in Singapore. Beef Bro was first kicked off by Danial Ashriq – a Suria and Channel 5 actor – along with another partner, Norvan Tan.

Halal Flame-Grilled Beef Cubes With Mentaiko And Cheese At Tampines Food at Beef Bro Beef Bro’s signature Beef Cubes are available in 130g ($7.90) and 200g ($12.90) portions, and are made with Australian premium rump. If you’re looking for a smaller portion, you can add cheese or mentaiko to the $7.90 portion at $2, which is what we did. The torching of the beef was showy and impressive, a head-turner for many walking by.

After adding mentaiko, the beef cubes were seared again with a blow-torch to add that smoky fragrance to the dish. The texture was inconsistent, probably due to the beef cubes being of varying sizes. That being stated, the taste was pleasant, and well complemented by the savoury mentaiko sauce that enhanced the flavour of the beef.

Chicken Cubes are available in 130g ($5.90) and 200g ($8.90) portions. We went for the $5.90 portion and added cheese for $2.

For those who are looking for alternatives, you’d be pleased to note that seafood options, namely Shrimp ($8.90), Squid ($6.90) and Scallops ($9.90) , are available . As the owner highly recommended the seafood, we decided to order the shrimp. The portion of shrimp was generous, but did not have the fresh, crunchy bite that I was hoping for.

The sambal chilli sauce was highly recommended and has been raved about since the bazaar for its tantalizing spicy kick. If you’re looking for a more substantial meal, you can opt for the Bento Sets that are priced from $10 to $16, depending on your choice of meat.

This is definitely for those looking for an easy and quick lunch, rather than for those who are just feeling peckish. Ambience at Beef Bro Beef Bro’s new shop is situated in a small space at the basement level of Century Square, just a straight walk down from the escalator.

To ensure the quality of the food, each dish is cooked only after an order has been placed. While it remains questionable as to how similar they are to the raved Taiwanese street snack, Beef Bro’s food is definitely worth a try!

Going to Norvan, the new menu will include wagyu beef, a seafood platter comprising scallop, shrimp and baby squid going at $10, and sides such as scrambled eggs at $2.
