Sugarhall offers excellent dishes and ice cold cocktails
If you’ve been to Jigger & Pony on Amoy Street, you should be familiar with its potent rum cocktails. If you take that exact same concept and add grilled meats to it, you get Sugarhall!
Sugarhall, the sister restaurant of Jigger & Pony, houses over 60 cane spirits under one roof. They are categorised according to origin and style, and they have one of the largest varieties of cane spirits in the country. Helming the kitchen is Chef Polo Seah, previously with W Hotel’s steakhouse, SKIRT.
Chill Grill
Start off your meal with a nice aperitif such as the Bumbo Old Fashioned ($22) with El Dorado 12-year-old rum instead of the typical whisky. A smoky and lightly spiced drink to prepare your palate for the grilled goodness ahead.
I suggest the Broken Pork Sausage ($14) for a starter. The chef’s secret recipe sausage is made of coarse pork, which comes atop grilled cabbage in bonito butter and a few pieces of stone-baked baguette. The sausage was cooked well and tasted good, but oddly enough, the grilled cabbage stole the show with its fragrance and smoky flavour.
For a lighter option, I recommend the Roasted Beetroot ($10), which is a slightly more healthful option with fried kale, pickles, and mascarpone cheese.
Protein-Rich Meal
If you’d like a steak for good value, I think the Hanger Steak ($24) is amazing. The Cape Grim grass-fed, 240g steak is a lean cut with hardly any fat. It’s cooked to a perfect medium-rare with a mild sprinkling of salt and pepper. It also comes with a homemade chimichurri sauce, but I found it unnecessary.
You should also not miss the Pork Chop ($28). This hefty 300g pork is put in salt brine, which brings the sweetness out from the meat. The accompanying orange and parsley dip also adds a nice tang to the dish.
The main meals come without side dishes, and the sides we’d recommend are the Chunky Pumpkin ($12), which is a grilled pumpkin with mozzarella and rum raisin, and the Grilled Leek ($14) topped with an onsen egg. There are only two desserts at Sugarhall, and to be honest, we’d rather gorge on the sides instead.
