Smokin’ Joe sets itself apart from the bustling hawker Western food scene with its bold use of premium meat including Iberico pork, Wagyu beef, and foie gras. True to its name, its menu items are sizzled over an open-fire grill, wafting aromas that instantly awaken any discerning foodie.
Specifically, the Spain-inspired Iberico Secreto pork steak is clad in a tempting charred exterior and bears a luscious glaze that closely mimics the taste of a well-barbequed char siew.
Meanwhile, the marbled fats on the 200-gram Australian Wagyu Ribeye dance in harmony with a beguiling smokey essence. These are all accompanied by a side of fries, salad, and gravy that leave diners teetering between the illusion of eating at an exclusive restaurant and a humble neighbourhood hawker centre.
