A couple of weeks back, I was tasked to come up with a dinner place to celebrate my brother’s birthday. You must be wondering why me and not the birthday boy. I have no idea too LOL. Anyway, I gave a number of suggestions and we finally decided on Handlebar at Sembawang. I came to know about this biker-themed restaurant cum bar quite some time ago when I still had the time to catch up on food and lifestyle blogs. The place looked pretty interesting and if you wanna find out more prior to visiting, Handlebar has a badass website. Haha.
Handlebar is undeniably ulu, located along Jalan Mempurong. It was kinda scary when we drove along the small road because it was so dark! Had to park our vehicle outside and walk into Handlebar.
Modified parts of cars and motorcycles were turned into bar counter seats.
Definitely a highlight.
We were seated outdoors, near the kitchen but could’t see any action lol.
All of us had the usual boring drinks except for misterchewy who ordered a bottle of Fucking Hell ($12). Haha.
Cocaine Wings ($14) are named as such because they are supposed to be addictive. Out of the three spiciness levels, we tried medium. Ehhhh.. No kick la. Just a slight tingling sensation on the lips. The wings tasted a little sweet too.
If you like onion rings, you will enjoy the Blossom Onion ($12). I’m not a fan though.
I had the Righteous Ribs ($28) which was slightly pricey but the portion was so huge that I only managed to finish slightly more than three quarter of the ribs. Ribs were juicy and tender.
Didn’t try the Beer-battered Fish & Chips ($18) for myself but I dont think anything could go wrong here!
My parents and brother had the Grilled Pork Chop ($26). Imagine two thick slabs of pork chops.. How to finish?! Big eaters rejoice!
On the overall, Handlebar is quite a nice place but I would recommend going earlier before the sun sets. Food is mediocre, nothing to shout about but great for sharing given the large serving portions.
