This is not your Man vs Food show. It's the Morgansfield's Christmas Platter ($149.90++) that contains more than enough meat to probably last an individual till the next Christmas. But the good thing is that you don't have to beat the clock to finish this; neither do you have to embark on a solo meat conquest as this can be shared theoretically with 4-5 pax, or realistically speaking, even 6 or more.
Sourced from Spain, Morganfield's showpiece sticky bones have been updated with a seasonal festive touch by tempering it with some American Rogue Hazelnut Nectar. The result is a rich, shiny, dark brown caramelized glaze and the meat underneath has a lovely smoky quality. The best part is the slighty charred crust that has such a smooth malty taste that keeps me nibbling on the crispy edges.

Bathed in a reddish hue, the Cranberry Sticky Bones didn't taste as fruity as expected but the bits of cranberry sweetened the deal. The meat turned out to be more moist than the Hazelnut beer, with bits of fat tucked incongruently between layers.

I sometimes wonder why restaurants like to serve turkey and not the turkey drumsticks? These two massive Smoked Turkey legs, like a miniature monolith on the plate, has a great chewy texture that makes you want to gnaw all the way down, leaving the bone bare. But I was particularly drawn to the Ham as the mildly sweet juicy honey glaze makes the meat even more appealing to the tastebuds.
There was plenty more to discover on the plate with four beautiful bouncy sausages that reclined lazily on each other. Spicy Italian, Cheese, German Pork, each has a character on its own but the Cheese sausage grabbed the attention with delectably gooey cheese spurting out at the instant cut of the knife.
White Xmas Sangria $16.90++ & Red X'mas Cooler $8.90++
Non-carnivores need not avert your eyes from the plate as there are plenty of greens to balance the plate; soft caramelized onions, steamed carrots, long beans, roasted potato. The Signature cornbread, a crumbly sweet corn muffin with crusty top, fully qualifies as a delicious pre-dessert snack or maybe even as a dessert for some.
Add another $9.90 to round off your meal with a Peach Cobbler. Buried beneath a snowball of vanilla ice cream, the mushy cooked-down summer fruits fortified by the buttery crumbs were high in sugar concentration but sometimes desired after an intensely meaty course.
Besides the Christmas platter, there is the assorted basket of tender popcorn pork, bratwurst sausages and the beer-candied bacon ($15.90++). The latter tastes exactly like the Chinese bak kwa and makes such moreish bites that one may contemplate ordering just a plate of that for $8.90.
