– Tasting Invite –
Thanks to Morganfield’s, we got to try out their Morgan’s Christmas Platter after work last week! 🙂 Since the platter was good for four, I asked Bee along while misterchewy extended the invitation to his colleague CS.
This photo was taken near closing time, hence the empty table. It was previously occupied by an all male group.
Morganfield’s at Star Vista looks like a pretty popular place as the restaurant was 90% filled during dinner time on a weekday.
To kick things off, we had a round of Christmas drinks. I only had the non-alcoholic Red Christmas Cooler ($8.90) which is a fruity mix of lemon, watermelon and cranberry juice, Italian soda and garnished with blackberries. Loved it so much that I finished half my glass while waiting for the food to arrive. Also available is the White Christmas Sangria ($12.90), a refreshing mix of white wine, peach puree, diced green apples and oranges.
Introducing the Morgan’s Christmas Platter ($149.90++ for 4 persons) – Christmas Thyme Sticky Bones (half slab), Christmas Cranberry Sticky Bones (half slab), Special Sausage Platter (6 sausages), Honey Baked Ham Slices, Turkey Drumsticks (2 pcs) and sides consisting of roast pumpkin, roast potatoes, corn bread and broccoli.
It was my third visit to Morganfield’s and it’s really amazing how their pork ribs are always so tender that they fall off the bone. It’s true! CS sliced the ribs, picked it up, and the meat slided off the bone even before he could place it on our plates. So you can just imagine how wonderfully tender they were! The fruity sweet sauce from the Christmas Cranberry Sticky Bones (left) complements the slightly smoked flavour of the ribs really well. We preferred the Christmas Thyme Sticky Bones because the savoury sweet BBQ sauce works better with the ribs.
I’m not so much of a turkey meat fan but Morganfield’s turkey drumsticks were very juicy! There were 4 slices of ham, which turned out to be not overly dry and they were well infused with the sweetness of honey. It is definitely not something you think you can get from the supermarket.
Even the sausages were humongous. There are 6 different types and all of them are made from pork. Our favorites are the bier sausage and cheese sausage.
The sides are also worthy of mention. I totally adored the potatoes and were picking on them throughout our dinner. The corn bread (refer to platter pic) is also Morganfield’s specialty. It looks plain but you really gotta leave some room for it!
The boys drinking their beer from the Santa’s Big Mug ($21.90). It is a smooth mix of American craft stout beer and Kronenbourg Blanc in one-litre frosty mug. So sad that I cant drink this. I love Kronenbourg!
With every order of a Morgan’s Christmas Platter, you can enjoy a Festive Dessert Platter at just $10 which consists of a brownie, christmas pudding, bread pudding and 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream. The brownie was moist and crumbly but a little bitter. Perfect when eaten together with ice cream!
We found the christmas pudding too sweet and it tasted just like fruit cake.
Bread pudding was very good too. It was my favorite of the three.
If you are a hardcore carnivore, you really ought to head down to Morganfield’s this Christmas! Stay connected with us on Facebook www.facebook.com/missuschewy and on Instagram @missuschewy and @misterchewy 🙂
