The MeatHouse represents Chef Benny Se Teo and his Eighteen Chefs team's venture into casual steakhouse dining with halal certification. Located at Century Square in Tampines at #05-04, 2 Tampines Central 5, this establishment brings premium meat dining to the eastern part of Singapore, challenging the notion that quality steaks must come with hefty price tags.
The restaurant's defining feature is its use of the renowned Josper grill, a hybrid grill and oven system that creates distinctive charred exteriors whilst maintaining tender, juicy interiors. This professional cooking equipment elevates the dining experience, producing charcoal-grilled meats with restaurant-quality results. The MeatHouse offers inventive menu items inspired by international cuisines, featuring steaks with various sauce options including mushroom, garlic, and black pepper.
Beyond steaks, the menu includes pasta, chicken dishes, and popular sides like truffle fries. This variety ensures that groups with different preferences can all find satisfying options. The restaurant's modern casual setting resembles a cafe more than a traditional steakhouse, creating an approachable atmosphere that suits both family dinners and casual gatherings with friends.
The MeatHouse's halal certification makes quality steakhouse dining accessible to Muslim families and diners in the Tampines area. By offering good quality meat at affordable prices, the establishment democratises the steakhouse experience. Reviews suggest mixed experiences, with some praising the value proposition whilst others note inconsistencies, but the restaurant continues to serve its neighbourhood as a halal-certified meat dining option.
