The first time we visited Brazil Churrascaria, julianyap explained its existence by explaining that the Singaporean owners came back from a visit to Brazil so pleased with the churrascaria rodizio idea that they decided to open one in Singapore. So far as I know it's the only one.

This most recent visit was with TC. He lives a short drive up the road, and was looking for an excuse to visit it, which my visit to Singapore provided.

The full rodizio experience is S$57 (US$32.40), plus 10% service, 1% CESS, and 4% GST. Really, I've never ordered anything else here, and I'm not sure what else there is to order here. Oh, we did have guaraná (S$5.50, US$3.10), which came decorated like a tropical cocktail. It was still just normal guaraná out of a bottle, but I imagine it came shipped in from Brazil.

The meat is quite good, and comes in the traditional manner, on long skewer/swords brought to your table by the waitstaff. How good? Definitely not as good as the best I had in Rio, but better than the usual run in Boston (e.g., Midwest Grill), and pretty good compared to the middle level of churrascaria rodizio places in Brazil.

Not bad, particularly considering that it's probably the only Brazilian churrascaria rodizio place within a five hour flight.

I've been sampling these places as I travel about. The Malibu Grill not far from here is fairly decent. Green Field, up in Rockville is more expensive and less good (tho I like the rosemary on the lamb). The Fogo de Chão in Atlanta is very good, and expensive to match (I also found their tendency to whip away and replace side dishes when I'd taken a single bite annoying and wasteful).

"Better than Midwest Grill" is a yardstick so inclusive as to be meaningless, I think. (Have you been there lately? "Downhill" is the kindest word I can think of.)

Yah, I agree with you on this; I haven't been there in a long time because there are so many other options.

I stayed in Asia Hotel, Bangkok, and found a place called Rio Grill. So there is Brazilian Churrascaria only 90 min. flight from Singapore!
