Argentinian steakhouse boCHINche, formally located at Amoy
Street settles into new home at 27 Club Street with a fresh look inspire by
tribal design, and a refreshed menu helmed by Fabrice Mergalet.
Aside from their wide range of Wood & Coal Fired Beef
options, boCHINche offers a good option of Nibble, Empanada and Starters.
Provolone cheese & smoked ham, confit onion, pimento
& oregano ($5.00++) I have not tried their beef, chicken, or corn empanadas
before but as a cheese & ham person like me, this NEW Provolone cheese
& smoked ham empanadas is certainly one of the pastry that I can have it daily.
Quail, salt crust roasted beetroot, berries, buttermilk, hazelnut
& garden leaves ($28.00++) I personally love this dish and highly
recommended to order as a starter. The Quail is so tender!
Arg prawn, scallop tartare, “Bomba Arroz Verde” Manchego
& Spiced Mix Leaves ($27.00++) Raw scallop bites are folded throughout the
rice and glazed with a stock made using seafood trimmings, topped with grilled
Argentinian prawns.
Burrata, fermented medley tomato, avocado mousse &
orange cosmos ($29.00++) Italian Burrata paired with a medley of lacto
fermented tomatoes that is plump and juice, dotted with avocado mousse and edible
orange cosmos.
boCHINche offers a selection of grass-fed beef imported
directly from Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, USA and Japan. A new dry-aged
fridge allows beef to be dry-aged in-house typically for 35 to 38 days to push
the flavours to its maximum. Their steaks are cooked using traditional grilling
techniques over charcoal fire to achieve a lightly charred crust and smoky
aroma.
What I had is The Meat Feast ($240.00++) which includes 1300g
of Rib Eye, Fillet, Sirloin, Hanging Tender. This is great for sharing (for 2
to 4 pax) that allow us to try out not just 1 but 4 types of steaks at one
time. Of course, for those who already had their favourite cuts in mine, it’s also
available as an a-la-carte in the menu.
Don’t forget to try out their dessert before you leave as
you will find some interesting creation such as:
White Chocolate Cheesecake, Seasonal Fruits, Crumble &
Milk Ice Cream ($19.00++) I have never tried a White chocolate cheesecake but
it’s a rather interesting contrast of equally prominent sweet and savoury
notes.
Espresso Martini Crème Brulee & Brown Sugar Ice Cream ($19.00++)
This is another one fav that I will come back for it. I would never think that Espresso,
Martini, Brown Sugar Ice Cream can make up such a great combination on Crème Brulee.
