Morganfields have been serving american style ribs in Singapore over the years delighting diners with their mouth watering sticky bones. They have since expanded to three outlets in Singapore to cater to more fans. We visit their Suntec City branch to have a taste of how good they are.
We set foot at the Suntec city branch on a Friday evening to a packed restaurant. Thankfully we made a reservation beforehand and did not had any trouble getting a table. The facade had a American diner kind of vibe which the interior also exhibits. If the dining crowd were all Americans, you will have a stronger feeling as if you had been transported to Texas or Louisiana which was not to bad an experience.
We paid 2 visits to this awesome place to bring you this review and i ordered my favourite Kronenboug 1664 at a friendly price of $11 per pint during happy hour. The missus had the virgin mojito for our first trip which was nice and refreshing.
Our second visit, she changed her drink to the Pink lemonade which was not only great tasting but also pretty to look at with the separation of colors which i joked that it looked like a traffic light with wrong placement of colors.
We understand that the ribs were smoked with hickory wood to give it a smoky flavor and slow cooked to give it a off the bone tenderness. The awesome ribs come in four flavors and served in half slab or full slab. The half slab is a huge American size portion and definitely enough for one person. Apart from the ribs, they do also serve other seafood and steaks. Check out the menu.

For their famed sticky bones, spare ribs are used to prepare their signature dish and you can often find cartilage and bones in each slab. This cut of ribs generally have more fat between the muscle fibers which makes the meat tender and flavorful. We tired the Garlic BBQ Spare Ribs which had chunks of garlic smeared all over the ribs providing very nice textures and taste.
The ribs are pleasantly spiced and had a good combination with the tangy and sweet sauce. The meat is succulent and off-the-bone tender. The sauce on the meat is applied very liberally so you might want to take extra caution when savoring the ribs or risk getting unsightly food stains all over your clothes. Sides provided included the coleslaw and a bountiful supply of thickly cut fries.

As mentioned, ribs are not the ones only on the menu which is great for my seafood loving lady. The missus tried the Blackened Salmon which was perfectly grill and had beautiful grills marks. The fish is normally served with pilaf rice but the missus hate carbs and the kind service crew had them changed to coleslaw which we appreciate greatly. The garlic butter provided additional flavor as it melt all over the salmon and enhance its overall taste. The garden veggies provided the required greens to make this a healthy meal.

The Seafood Basket was something else the missus tried. It came in a large serving of fried seafood over a bed of fries. In the basket we found calamari, fish and prawns all deep fried. Every bite was met with a satisfying crunch but we felt the batter was slightly under seasoned. That is where the tar tar sauce came in useful to provide the sought after creamy texture.

We enjoyed both outings to Morganfields and love the American style diner ambiance. With such delicious ribs and a decent price for beer, it is of little wonder to see these eatery packed to the brim during dinner time and we recommend making a reservation to avoid disappointment.
