Lawry's, Paragon, Singapore

When you think of a good slab of meat in Singapore, two words normally come to mind (no.. not "D's House"): "Lawry's" and "Morton's". This meal at Lawry's however, was slightly disappointing. The breads weren't served warm and the butter wasn't thawed-soft either. Not the best start.

The spinning bowl salad was never a big favorite of mine, the dressing is still quite tasty but I'm not a big fan of beetroot.

But all the other bits doesn't matter as long as the slab of meat is good. I'm not fussy with the frills (although you would expect them to be decent in a place like Lawry's) as long as my meat craving is satisfied. The 450g Diamond Jim Brady was still pretty decent although the Yorkshire pudding was pretty dried out.

The other main ordered was this grilled salmon (who goes to a steakhouse and orders fish?). I had a little nibble as I don't normally care much for salmon but this was normal. Definitely not terrible but not the best I've tasted either. Somehow, after this most recent visit, I don't think I'll be mentioning "Lawry's" and "Morton's" in the same breath for a while.

Awww, that is so sad that Lawry's is not yummy. I remember it as one of those places I always wanted to visit when I used to go down to Spore.

Go to Morton's instead, the prices aren't that different as well.

I enjoyed the Diamond Jim Brady. If not for anything else, it would be the only thing that makes me go back to Lawry's again. The price is hefty though.

How much are the steaks if ordered without the set? N the salmon as well? ...
