This was another lunch that I had at my brother's when my parents were here last year.
My brother and I love BBQ and when we read about Beard Brothers, we were keen to try. But you know how it is, our weekend schedule can be quite busy and somehow we never made it there.
Then one day my brother gave us a surprise.
What's that?
Oohhh.... he went to tapau at Beard Brothers.
Beef rib and chicken leg. The beef was tender and fall off the bone.
This is the brisket.
Some coleslaw, mashed potatoes and something that tasted like vinegar.
I'm afraid the pulled lamb was not popular as it had a very strong gamey smell. We did not finish it.
The buns and cornbread, unfortunately were dry and hard.
We might have had a better experience if we ate at the restaurant. But judging from what we had that day, we might not visit so soon or at all.
The rib looked good. Such potty the bread and buns were dry and hard. I wouldn't enjoy that.
ReplyDeleteAmong all the items, the ribs were the better one.
DeleteI also heard about Beard Brothers and it was on my radar too. But after reading what you wrote, I'm not so sure I should visit. First of all, I'm surprised at how cheap-looking the tapau looked (looks like something you'd get out of a stall not a proper restaurant)! :O The beef brisket looked thickly cut though but was it tender? I do like the looks of the mashed potatoes with lots of gravy...yuum! ^.^
ReplyDeleteThis experience that I had may not be representative of what Beard Brothers is capable of serving. My brother went early (to avoid parking issues and possible crowd) and the food may not have been ready or properly prepared. The brisket was swimming in congealed fats (ugh!) and not heated through. Yes, it was tender and so were the ribs. I can't remember how the mashed potatoes tasted because there was so little of it. So if you are brave enough to take a risk and visit....heh...heh...
DeleteI think strong gamey lamb. Takeaway food usually does not taste as good as dine in. Beard brother - let me go google them.
ReplyDeleteThe lamb was very gamey. Cannot tahan.
DeleteThe meat dishes look good and so does the mash potatoes with all the gravy....:)
ReplyDeleteThey do except that the taste was below par. Could be different if eating at the premises.
DeleteI agree with you, eating at the restaurant might be much better than tarpau-ing home.. I don't enjoy anything lamb-bie, the smell is just too strong for me..
ReplyDeleteYes, it's a gamble sometimes with lamb.
DeleteLooks really good! Not so nice kah? Aiyor!!! Maybe it will be nicer if you go and eat it there.
ReplyDeletePerhaps better to eat at the restaurant but the food gave such a poor impression that we are hesitant to visit.
DeleteSo nice of your brother to surprise everyone with the tapau. Most food taste better if taken at the restaurant.
ReplyDeleteYes, but dunno when we will go there.
DeleteYou have a wonderful brother who is always full of surprises! I remembered he tapao the CKT from OK Restaurant for you.
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of Beard Brothers except Beard Papa! Are they the sons of Beard Papa? I love their father's heavenly cream puffs.
Yes, he is wonderful! LOL! I don't think they are related to Beard Papa.
Deletethe foods doesn't look appealing coz it is in 'tapao' containers...If it is presented well, it might help in making it more 'delicious'...LOL!
ReplyDeleteMaybe LOL!
Deleteif your brother is tar pauing beard brothers for you, you can tar pau sisters crispy popiah for him :D
ReplyDeletehah..hah... sisters to match the brothers :)
DeleteSo pity it wasn't up to expectations!
ReplyDeleteSobs! LOL!
DeleteSo nice of your brother to dabao food home.
ReplyDeleteYes, always something to look forwards to :)
DeleteI think food like this (BBQ stuffs) is tasted better if eat on the spot~
ReplyDeleteTrue lah.
