To all meat-lovers out there, Carnivore Brazilian Churrascaria is a meaty paradise –a treat to your eyes, your palate and your ravenous appetite.

Churrascaria means ‘barbecue’ in Portugese. Their style of service is basically Brazilian rodizio: you pay a fixed price and passadors (meat waiters) will come to your table with skewers speared with various kinds of meat – slicing it with a knife onto your plate with your consent – several times throughout your meal until you signify that you have had enough by flipping the coloured card from green to red.

After its S$80 million makeover, Shangri-La’s Rasa Sentosa Resort unveils a spanking new layout and a new dining concept –“Dine On 3”.

The revamp must be pretty drastic since it is beyond recognisable for someone who’s never been there for 5 years –I blushingly admit that I happen to be in that position.

My parents used to bring my sis and I to Sentosa for staycations when we were younger. We used to stay at both the Rasa Sentosa Resort and Beaufort (The Sentosa Resort & Spa) but more frequently at Rasa Sentosa Resort.

We favour Rasa Sentosa Resort for it is the only beachfront resort in this metropolitan city-state –great for a weekend getaway.

I have fond memories of the resort, especially at the balcony, where the magnificent view of the Siloso Beach and the South China Sea never fails to mesmerise.

The very façade of the resort building (minus the revamped area) brings back lots of memories. Back then, we dined at the Silver Shell Café at least twice a year –it used to be a regular affair until our family broke apart. (Oops, what I actually mean was: everyone’s gotten so busy that we hardly spend time together anymore.) Upon entering the vicinity, a whole series of memories flashed through my mind.

After the revamp, the dining area, rebranded as “Dine On 3”, features three restaurants – Casserole, Silver Shell Café and 8 Noodles – and a bar under one roof, serving up a variety of dining experiences and cuisines.

The Silver Shell Café looks nothing like the old one that we used to frequent. When I checked in on Foursquare, my sis immediately whatsapped me (all the way from Australia), telling me how much she misses the place! Her memory is superb. I didn’t even remember the name of the restaurant!

Wednesdays: Meet the Meat at Silver Shell Café

From June 2012, Silver Shell Café presents Meet the Meat on every Wednesday evening. Meat lovers can revel in an array of poultry, beef, lamb and sausages prepared in various methods –roast, tandoori, grilled and barbecued.

Having visited The Square previously, representing Sparklette for a review, I returned again for more –this time with my lovely friends Hazel, Derrick and Celes.

What left the deepest impressions during my previous visit were the Risottos, Chocolate mousse and Durian Pengat. I also overdosed on their Potato Salad during my last visit –which has mysteriously disappeared from the spread. *sad!*
