Carnivore is not a best place if you want to part with your friends. I had the experience of going there with my whole class as a class outing of 24 people and the service was very slow! So we fill up our stomach with limited choices of the buffet inside with is not very satisfactory. However, the actual meat that the servers gave us is really good so its still worth giving a try.

Ever since my friends come to knowledge that someone amidst their social network had started his own food blog, they all have been asking him or I should say me that very same question. "When are you free?" Often a times, showing that same exact burning enthusiasm like I always find myself indulging sweet stuffs! Every once in a while in fact quite often, I will have one of those special privilege to luxuriate the whole dining experience with someone new.This time though, I have a new partner joining me and my two other regular makan kakis to join us for the 1 for 1 lunch Brazilian feast buffet promotion offered by Carnivore Brazilian Churrascaria. To be honest, this was my first time getting a feel of authentic Brazilian cuisine. I have no idea of what to expect apart from the fact that it's gonna bring the carnivore side of me to my dinner plate! I think many of us have a certain impression of how a buffet works. You know, the typical you get your first serving from all the different stations and when you're done, you walked around and grab your second helping so on and so for.But over at Carnivore, they do it differently. Instead of you getting your food (apart from the veggies), your food comes to you! The meats are served by passadors or meat waiters walking around the restaurants. All armed with their trusty knifes. We were quite afraid of how they welded the knifes, mostly with one finger looped around the handle. I could imagine all the 1001 things that could go wrong should the knife dropped.Did I mention to you that if you want more meat on your plate, all you need is to flip the chart to green and volia! Meat is serve! And flip to red if you wanna take a breather and enjoy the mounting food on your plate. Perhaps it's the crowd that they didn't expect from the lunch promotion. It just didn't matter if you flipped it or not because half the time, there ain't much meat left on those skewers by the time it reaches our table. Moral of the story: A good location is extremely vital in order to receive the most attention from the passadors!Condiments are a must-have on every table since most of their meat arrived grilled but not heavily marinated so it might be a bit bland to those with a stronger taste buds. We didn't quite like the green Parsley Sauce maybe because of the colour but the brown sauce (can't remember the name) fared the best with all those smoky meat cuts! As for the brown bread crumbs, best stay clear of it. Pretty tasteless.Fear. Says it all on our faces whenever the knife appeared. It wasn't that bad lah! We just kept our distance from the all the slicing that's all and I just happened to take this shot with my friend's priceless expression in it! The meat were succulent, tender and juicy. Particular the Beef Rump which stands above all! Do be prepared for a kidney failure when you had a bite of the Grilled Fish. They are seriously super salty. I suspect they used Cod though...Our lunch fare didn't came cheap to be honest although there's a 1 for 1 lunch fare. At $62 for four diner which works out to be $15.50 per person sharing the 1 for 1 lunch buffet, I say the GST, service charge and the overpriced drinks were the true killers adding our bill to a hefty $108.28. Moral of the story: Just order ice water will do. Service was fairly slow but given how they could still churn out skewers after skewers despite the full house scenario, I say it was a fair 3 hour deal.

I'm not really a hardcore carnivore but since my group of friends asked me out to have lunch at Carnivore I decided to give it a try. Carnivore was having its 1-for-1 promotion and we were the second in queue as we reached there before 11am but nearing to 12pm the queue was unbelievably long Once seated in the restaurant, we went to get the greens from the salad counter. There was actually a variety of food from the salad counter such as black beans with stewed beef, lady fingers, tuna salad, coleslaw etc. Of all the food my favourites were the tuna salad and lady fingers. The tuna salad is a little different from the normal tuna salad found outside. The tuna salad actually contains big red beans and onions instead of the usual tuna with mayonnaise sauce. The lady fingers were also soft and easy to chew and not hard and crunchy.The meat were served by passadors who moved from table to table carrying the different meat. During lunch, they have beef, pork, fish, chicken thigh, ham, chilli chicken sausage, bacan wrapped chicken and lamb. Of all the different meats, I like the fish, chicken thigh, ham and chilli chicken sausage the best.The fish was tender and not too salty, chicken thigh was tender, succulent and the skin was quite crispy. The lamb and beef didn't taste as good because they have the "smell" that linger behind in the mouth after chewing it. The pork was hard and dry as though it was overcooked. It made chewing quite tough and was like an exercise for my jaws. Overall, I wouldn't want to visit Carnivore for the second time as firstly it was really meat overwhelming and secondly, it wasn't as good as I thought it would be.

Carnivore, as the name suggest, is really a heaven for meat lovers. Imagine hunks and hunks of meat being carried all around the restaurant. In carnivore, you have a card on the table that you can turn to indicate that (i) you've had enough for now (ii) you would like to have more.Advice to all: this is a buffet so do come hungry because theres so much meat that you will bound to get full really fast. There is a buffet section for sides such as pasta, soup, bread etc. but we did try them and it really isn't worth filling up your stomach with anything other than carnivore's meats and caramalized pineapple. Do try the pineapple! It runs out really fast when the waiters bring them out of the kitchen so grab them whenever you can, even if your card says you've had enough for now. And try all the types of meat they bring around because for anything that i rejected, i regretted. Their fish however was a little bit salty so ask for a smaller portion unless you like salty food.Nearing the end of the 2 hour buffet period however, the frequency of the waiters bringing the meat around decreases, so do not assume that you do have the full 2 hours.

Carnivore...as the name imply...is a place for all hard core meat lovers. The second outlet from its primary location in Chjimes, this outlet tends to bring out a contemporary approach in its design and a spacious enhancement in terms of area for all its diners. Was at Carnivore to celebrate my birthday and all of us had a fulfilling treat of meat that till of now to this point of entry...am still feeling meaty in my breathe. To start off with the meat adventure, we were shown to their salad bar that consist mainly cold and hots dishes erected from the veggies green as a balancing pivot point for the upcoming sinful meats!An endless stream of freshly grilled meats, that range from beef, honey glazed ham, chicken hearts, mutton, fish, bacon wraps to name a few were all well marinated with spices and herbs were showcase at our table on a routine basis. A galore of meat!The serving staff were always on the go, initiated on serving the best portion and cut of meat to every single patrons and ensure to fill all glutton's stomach to its fullest. Thumbs up to them and once you are at your highest point of food intake...you can always "throw in the white flag" which to to show them a "NO,Thank you" tag to stop any serving of meat dishes.Meat texture and quality is at its best and my advice to all meat lovers, is to request for the inner core of the meat which is the most succulent and juicy as compared to the outer layer that had been exposed to direct heat upon the grilling process which can be dryer and harder in texture.So for all "gruesome" meat lovers...Carnivore is the place for your meat! * Roars
