Ex-Assistant Chef At 3-Michelin-Starred Zen Serves Great Steak Sando At Hawker Stall

Tucked away in a quiet residential estate in Mountbatten, Muslim-owned stall Blackgoat is helmed by Fikri Rohaimi, a 23-year-old part-time university student who has cooked at top restaurants like Burnt Ends and Zen. His minimalist stall in the retro-looking Jalan Batu Hawker Centre sports a sleek monochrome signboard bearing its name (a play on “black sheep”). It offers a mix of burgers and charcoal grilled meats and seafood. 

Besides the lack of a fixed menu, the two-month-old stall is similarly non-conformist in its operations as well. Blackgoat serves different items throughout the week. For instance, grilled items like striploin and mackerel are available from Wednesdays to Fridays, and speciality burgers on the weekends. There are also seasonal items available via pre-orders only. “I have a lot of ideas, many things that I want to do,” says Fikri, who affirms that he does not plan on settling on a fixed menu anytime soon.
