Grub by Ahong rose to popularity for its no-frills and wallet-friendly steak meals. Housed in an unassuming shoplot in Section 17, Petaling Jaya, queues are often seen before they insisted on online reservations for their customers. Seats then become very “hot” especially during weekends or holidays and you really have to book a few weeks ahead to score a table. Their menu is kept minimal and focused. They only serve what they are good at. Popular cuts of beef like NY Strip, Wagyu and … [Read more...]
Let’s have a PRIME moment @ Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur
For the past 10 years, since its opening in 2006, Prime at the Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur has built up its reputation as one of the city’s favourite place for premium steaks. Living up to its “Prime Grill, Prime Wine, Prime Time” adage, Prime is the place to go for serious steak indulgence.

Steaks here are usually … [Read more...]
CEDAR on 15 @ Hotel Impiana KLCC
A view of the Kuala Lumpur skyline while dining is always a high selling point in any restaurant that’s able to accommodate that. Sometimes, that view sells more than the restaurant’s food.

Cedar on 15 at the Hotel Impiana KLCC offers a great view of the Twin Towers and its surroundings and its spacious elegant setup is definitely a bonus. Matched against warm earthy tones in the walls and flooring, tables … [Read more...]
Beat your way to BEATO now!
Dry-aging beef is very time consuming and expensive, of course. During this process, the beef is hung in special temperature-controlled cabinets for 25-30 days. During this time, the beef will slowly dry out, resulting in meats which are superior in taste and tenderness. In the dry aging process, natural enzymes breaking up connective tissues result in juices absorbed by the meat, thus enhancing and tenderizing the cuts. At Beato, their dry-aged beef steaks are processed inhouse in … [Read more...]
Maria’s Steak Cafe, Damansara Perdana
“Nothing fancy, simply good food” - that’s the promise from Maria’s and I was there recently to check this out. The steak cafe in Metropolitan Square, Damansara Perdana is cosy and comfortable. There’s a homely feel to the place, perhaps due to the checkered table cloths covering the dark wood tables. Service is friendly, efficient and pleasant. My dinner starts with their Spicy Mussels (RM22) - 6 plump mussels smothered with a spicy tomato-based sauce. The thick sauce is very … [Read more...]
Affordable Steaks and Lamb Chops at Foodilicious Kitchen, Shah Alam
It’s 2015 and let the feasting continue! Let’s start the year by looking for some affordable eats. Shah Alam may be the most unlikely place to look for some decent steaks and other western-style dishes. However, it was in a rather obscure spot that we found some really nice lamb chops and steaks. Tucked away in a food court in Section 7, Shah Alam is Foodilicious Kitchen. Opened since last June, Foodilicious Kitchen is run by Lyssa Hamzah and her siblings. The menu is just a 2-paged laminated … [Read more...]

Las Vacas @ Mont Kiara is now serving Breakfast!
Las Vacas, well-known as a specialty butcher shop and also for their steaks, has started serving breakfast in their Mont Kiara outlet since 1 May 2014. We were there on the very first day when their breakfast service was launched. Sitting under their red awning (which casts a red glow on everything underneath!), we checked their breakfast menu and decided to go for one of their house signatures – the Wagyu Karubi & Eggs (RM28) and their Norwegian Benny (RM18). Wagyu karubi are … [Read more...]
Muugu Garden Bistro, Bar & Grill – such affordable steaks!
In the middle of Bukit Bintang, amidst road diggings, construction, messy roads and haphazard road signages, there’s this green plot with manicured lawns and pretty shrubs surrounding a grey glass-fronted bungalow with a bright yellow “M” logo etched on the front wall. The “M” is for Muugu, a recently-opened bistro, bar and grill with a huge garden which is perfect for outdoor events. This used to be Max At iHaus some years back. When asked what “Muugu” meant, I was told by Leonard … [Read more...]
