Fat Butchik's

From it being a secluded place, to the decors, to the food - this roof deck phenom is a must-go-to place in BF. The slow roasted pork is a perfect combination with the beer and cocktails that are served. Although the place lacks seating, it makes people appreciate the view more while downing an amaretto sour or mohito. It's worth the wait. The owner waits for 14 hours for his food to reach perfection, what's a few minutes :)

Nestled on a rooftop deck, Fat Butchik's seek little attention but manages to have built a loyal following by mere word of mouth and urban legend. Located in a relatively quieter part of BF, one feels instantly teleported to a relaxed and chill place away from the din and noise below.Don't expect too much when dining here, as the place is composed of a few monobloc tables and chairs, a tent, and an open bar and kitchen. Their menu is a bit limited, but watch out for the chef's limited edition specials scrawled on two chalkboards.Highs:1. Bowl O' Red: An excellent paté for the small toasts it comes with. A merry mix of ground beef, jalapeno, bellpeppers, tomatoes, and a dash of chili, it's the perfect upper for a day of drudgery. Pass me the bread please.2. Beef brisket: With all the effort of preparing this over 14 hours, the meat is near perfection. Tender and flavorful, each sinew is tantalizingly good, the fatty strands being the best parts. Served on a bed of soft mashed potatoes, it is best enjoyed with a cup of rice.3. Pork belly: the stuff of legends. Tender, thinly sliced pork marinated in light savory soy sauce, it touches the palate and tickles the tongue. The pork skin is lovingly separated and fried to a crisp, adding a dimension of crunchiness. Another perfect pairing with rice.4. Truffled Parmesan Fries: One of the best truffle fries in the south. A marriage of saltiness of the truffle, the tangy cheese, and the sweet sour taste of caramelized onions. Akin to poutine, its a slobby yet crunchy mix altogether. Perfect bar chow over good conversations.Lows:1. Grilled pig ears: Too salty and smokey, pales in comparison to The Grill's Peppa Face. Although the fatty parts and crunch cartilage are okay, but the saltiness is overwhelming, not even dampened by the vinegar.2. Barely A Cookie: Expected something like Tus' halfbaked, but this was half at par. The cookie dough was okay but too small and thin. The ice cream melted quickly also, rendering the dish too soupy.Fat Butchik's is probably the only rooftop resto in BF and therefore has its own charming uniqueness. The meat items are good and appropriately priced. Most of the items will go well with a bottle of beer or cocktails, so this is the place to go if you simply want to feel at home and just let it all hang out. While sipping on the roof and bantering the night away.
