Werner's Oven - Beer and Sausages in Singapore

ox tail stew - 8.5/10

i first ate at werner's because we were walking past that area and d suggested it to me. she knows how much i like my meat and sausages and she said that her friend had tried the place and it was pretty good. now i love sausages. you know, i've tried them everywhere the best ones are still the johnsonville ones that you can get at the local cold storage. now its so good that i've decided to upload a pic of it midway through writing my post. so here it is:

for those of you that haven't tried this, go down to your local cold storage immediately and get your hands on it! you can cook it either by boiling it in water and just leaving it there, or you can microwave it (which is faster). if you microwave it, make sure that you do it in little batches of time. if you microwave it for too long at one go, the skin will pop and all the cheesy goodness will leak out and be gone forever. i recommend microwaving it for 45 sec, then let it rest for a few sec, then do another 15-20 secs at a time until its nice and hot.

but back to werners... after the first visit, i realized that they were actually listed on makansutra because of their ox-tail stew. now i didn't manage to try that the firs time so i went back for it. and i must say that they're ox-tail stew is pretty darn good. nice, super tender chunks of ox-tail that drops of the bone and simmered in a wonderfully thick and tasty sauce, served with potatoes and a breadroll. really makes for a nice warm meal.

pork loin and sausage - 8/10

but that isn't the only good thing they had. i had the liberty of trying their pork loin and sausage. i loved the pork loin (which is kinda like a slightly firmer version of your christmas ham). if you like the whole chunks of ham which you cut out on your own, you're going to love this. its firm, juicy and tasty. and the sausages here are all good an authentic. juicy on the inside with a slight crunch on the outside.

i also managed to try the pork knuckle on another occassion. super crispy on the outside and nice tasty meat on the inside. the only thing that i didn't like that much was the meatloaf. i thought it tasted more like a very soft ham rather than a meatloaf, no that i didn't like too much. but other than that, most of the dishes were pretty good. all the meat really gives you a rarrr feeling after eating you. especially with the beer. i feel mildly carnivore-ish and makes me want to pick up my spear of the floor and go hunt some wild boar. definitely not a pretty sight.

they have a whole range of brews here. from mild to bold to flavored to non-alcoholic, they have them all. its all a matter of preference. so if you're in the mood for some meat, do drop in. either that or head down to cold storage.
