Going to kl this weekend, planning goto ah hong & grub to feast on the steak house
Pictures looks great!
Any recommendations for 2 dishes to try?
Oh btw, i heard parking is hard to find there, any place nearby which is convenient?
Tq in advance carnivores

go earlier thats all i can say... btw, i went there twice, first time to try because of the hype and left disappointed and went again a second time to give them a chance again and still left disappointed..

taste is subjective i know nonetheless but if you want a decent steak, i truly wont recommend this place.. but if you are there for sheer price vs meat size ratio.. this is one of it.. you can easily get better steaks at Maria's Steakcafe at Damansara Perdana, Bangsar or Sunway, Butcher Carey at Plaza Damas, Honest Butcher at Kota Damansara (call ahead to book, lunch only), Beato at Bangsar..

good luck..

BillCollector

your cup of tea?

Just went there last sat , parking hard to find cos very near housing area.
The food just meh for me , steak portion big and that the only plus point. Went there cos see alot online review say good won't go back there ever again if u ask me.
Ordered waygu NY strip big let down , very rubber cos meat too thick.

just went there last sat won't go back ever again. 80% of the food this furom recommend one cannot trust one

i wasnt impressed with maria's
i'm happy with jake's

Better go The Tokyo Restaurant u get way better steak then this so call steak house. The food there is expensive but quality wise dam high way worth it then this steak house ( and cheaper then ah hong )

used to be good, but quality dropped already
price to quality ratio is still there la. Steak is on the cheaper side..

Take grab?

Senang

This is a CMI place unless all you want is a piece of low grade steak cooked by Banglas.

You can get better steaks at Beatos.

Yes sat I go only 1 Chinese guy rest all bangla. Imagine waygu also can rubber ...

Depends on which cut the Wagyu comes from. Aussie Waghu rump steak is like rubber straight off the bat, doesn't matter who cooks it.

But, striploin should be better ... maybe it was severely undercooked?

😭😭😭😭I booked on table app
Deposit gone

NY strip , order medium rare rubber kao kao

U can go eat salad what.... The coliflower salad not bad, just stay away from the steak u should be fine..

whats CMI?

Cannot Make It

Where is tokyo restaurant?
Sorry not kl ppl

Aiyohh, coming all the way from penang, eat salad? 😁 😂

Ohhh, just google, the burnt cheese cake place

Lot 10 level 4 . Thier lamb and steak not bad( u want to melt in yr mouth go this place , bubble gum go ah hong ) personally tried them before if the location not in KL I would definitely go weekly. Price point is high side but if u compare with those steak house they look like affordable lol.

Ya after steak order cheesecake to finish it off. This place u won't regret one

Price to food portion ratio, they are good. Cant complain

If got more budget can go Jake's , Prime, Beato, Ril's . Las vacas also ok , not expensive

Yea, i went there before for the tiramisu n cheese cake.. Nice
But no try food

Bro, Wats the estimated $$$ for 2 pax for above place?

starting from RM150 and can go to RM300 and even way higher.. that's for 2 pax ya..

Saw someone mentioned Las Vacas.. they are ok ok too.. Butcher Carey and Las Vacas will be on your no frills type of steakhouses..

Jake's and Maria's would be like your entry level steakhouses..

Prime, Ril's and Beato starts to go into the premium range already..

well, my take la..

if you want something different but still want beef, I kinda enjoy Shin Nihon at Hartamas.. on the pricier side though.. easy easy 300 bucks for 2pax..

This post has been edited by jceh83: Aug 24 2020, 01:05 PM

las vacas in kelana jaya was a disappointment for me.....will never go again

Hmm starter n steak i would say 300-400 without wine.

For places like Prime lookout for credit card promo, maybank should have a 40-50% discount deal iirc. Nt sure still valid or not. Meaning ur rm200 steak after discount is rm100 only

Hit n miss nowadays. The one i frequently went to , was at jalan yap kwan seng. Now tutup dy

So i go to the mont kiara one. Ok la, quiet place for dinner because nt Many customers, price wise also reasonable

TS
you should go to Pok Brothers, buy a few good pieces, then go home and cook it

Been there once wont go back.

My steak is not charred enough, no maillard reaction which makes for a tasteless steak.

I remember there used to be a restaurant in Penang called “The Ship” - cheap and good Western fare. That was probably about 30 or 35 years ago ... is the restaurant still there?

Franchise one alot places got la

Place closed down quite a while back. Their (now closed) branch at Glo Damansara didn't serve good steaks as well. Kinda sad seeing that the food was good when they first started.

Oh! I didn’t know it was a franchise! Thank you

You have to pay a deposit of Rm20/Pax for booking a place at the restaurant. That what turned me off a bit. Have not tried till now.

oh my....just as well

nothing great, except the novelty factor in their deco
another place with the novelty factor is the coliseum at jln tuanku abdul rahman....TS

Im From Northern states, come back become super moist aged steqk d😂

Yea still hv, got 1 in Georgetown, 1 in batu feringghi. Less than rm100 steak for about 300-400 gram
But i think kl should be nicer

Maria seems quite expensive also, for me la

aiya...buy a cooler box, put steaks in it then put in car..got air con ...ok ma...4 hours only
yes maria's isnt cheap...once a while special occasion ok maa
cheap not good
good not cheap
or try the malay gerai steaks in ampang ...you have to google or somebody can help if they are familiar

Cook maggie mee i can la

Personally, I prefer grilling the steaks over an open charcoal fire compared to having it “Western” style. This was from last year’s Pre-COVID trip to Tokyo:

[attachmentid=10562503]

Damage came up to ¥35,000 for both of us. Not something I’d do on a regular basis - if the bill doesn’t kill me, the cholesterol will!

Try Vantador. Not bad either - better than Ril's IMO.

Ben Independent Grocers does quite good steaks. But no ambience lah

Ate at Maria's once. Not bad. But smaller portion

Tried also at Pampas. About 300++ for 2 pax. Also not bad. Ambience is good

Overrated place. Not nice at all. Pls avoid

Still prefer hainanese steaks. More gravy.

Btw, are you the chap who closes down the travel agency?

+1
agreed...its still juicy and yummy if DIY

Dam one sided. wish i new about this before i spend 140 at this place .

U mean 140 at ahhong place? 😁

Guess i'll cancell my plan for ahhong for now.
If i would just choose 1 place from the above for friday lunch with budget below rm250 for 2 pax, which is my best option?
Too many to choose also pening😂😂

Give 50% also not worth it.

We ordered that as well and yes it was a disappointment as it was very salty in addition to being rubbery.

We also had a ribeye which I have no idea how one can screw up a rare ribeye as it was well done in every part except the centre part which was ice cold. I returned it only to have the second come exactly the same.

If you are in PJ area especially near that Grub place and want a nice steak place, one of the better places is Castell. Old but definitely a good place to have it.

You dare to go to a steak place that has such low turnover in customers? I used to buy steaks from there to grill it at home. Then I found better steaks at Village Grocers at BV and Ben's at Publika.

There used to be 2 in Bukit Bintang area, one near the McDonald's and another near the former HSBC bank and Auto Dunia showroom where you could buy an Audi or VW. The other one is located at PJ Uptown.

It is a place that is stuck in time.

Long time never been back to Coliseum. Now more than 10 years as it is severely outclassed by newer rivals and not worth the price.

Yup I order waygu NY strip and rib eye both rubber kao kao.

i will choose jake's charboil steaks
are you a non muslim? why not try porkie stuff at betty's midwestern kitchen....not expensive and gooding

worst is the midvalley coliseum

Bro.. don't worry so much about it..like I say.. taste is subjective.. since you have already made the booking and some form of payment, just go for it la.. maybe, just maybe.. you may enjoy it compared to us leh..

I saw your post on Maria being expensive.. well, sometimes they do have promo and I guess, it can be worth it.. for me, Maria's may not be the best in the market but it is definitely better than Grub..

You can see from many posts here now that there are indeed many places in KL to dine for steaks.. there are more that what we have mentioned and the list can be truly long..

Most of the places I saw in here, I have been, including Castell near Grub.. there I prefer their lamb over steak..

Good luck to you.. when you are around again, maybe plan ahead and go for, what I would say decent steak, but nice ambience places.. Beast, Chambers, Prime.. these are all by hotels.. not cheap unless they have promo with credit card (which they usually do).. but damn good place to feel atas..

This post has been edited by jceh83: Aug 25 2020, 09:53 AM

aiks.. no la bro.. just like my steaks..

I see many proposing Vantador.. this place I have yet to go because whenever I'm around that area for steak, I always either end up at Shin Nihon or Steaks & Lobster (this one support friend la)...

How is it there now and do they still serve Rubia Gallega?

Look at Gastro Sentral Le Meridien on eatigo app. Can book 12 noon lunch for 50% discount.

Got steak also quite decent

Oh my....

Allright, i will check these places out, i cant go for steak often, as my family cant take beef, religiously. But i eat once a while.
Since this trip is with my gf, so we look for THE 🥩 🤣
As fot ahhong, i can refund 24 hrs before the date, so no money loss.... I trust u all, if nkt no point of asking here lo
Thanks for the recommendation

Allright bro, let me survey out
First time see this name 😁

How is it possible for medium rare to be rubbery? One wonders

Why Ahong kena roast so badly here lol? I tried it back in Aug 2019 and the steak was decent. Had wagyu strip medium rare, less than RM150 inclusive of drinks and their taufufa cheesecake. At that price point don’t expect high end cuts la.

i cheapskate pergi makan kat rendezvous saja

That time already lots of bangla workers?
Btw the bangla just waiters, or some cooks also?

Meat too thick and not enough heat u get rubber.

Bangla waiter Bangla cook

Go the toyko lot 10 bout same price or cheaper u get melt in yr mouth steak. Ofc smaller portion but u will end up more happy then this lousy steak house

Workers Bangla but kitchen staff local. Now all Bangla?

Really? I’ll give this a try, thanks.

Wow... that's an excellent attitude - makes giving advice all the more worth it! I hope you guys have a great time in KL!

indeed..

Hey i went to Butcher Carey tonight on your recommendation in this thread. Very nice steak, everything is on point even the fries. I'll frequent here more next time

Thanks!

steak and lobster at hartamas quite good...dunno if they increase price since lol last time went damn worth it for the portion

Not for me I suppose, rather go to a proper teppan, I just dislike having to cook my own dish if I went out. I guess it's because I cook alot at home anyways.

Vantador was alright I suppose but it's been a long while. Never could understood why someone would order a wagyu burger though.

But I'm a bit biased as I'll usually order ribs for myself

Never had Steaks & Lobster, good ahh. Saw the prices and it's very cheap

😁😁Just listening to carnivores sifu 🤣
Wait for my photo ya

Wat u ordered?
Saw some blogger recommended tasmanian rib eye, 500g
Looks nice

Final question, 🤣
Wat to order ya?
Wat portion? Best taste is ribeye?

Tenderloin 300gm, medium.

If u want ambience/environment, this place has zero. But the taste of the meat is really nice. Quite hard to find this restaurant tonight, had to jalan back n forth many times until I asked pak guard for the location.

Edit: Tenderloin much better than ribeye for me (generally)

This post has been edited by hirano: Aug 26 2020, 12:52 AM

Nice😘
How much damage for the 300g tenderloin?

For 2 pax (2 tenderloin steak, 2 coke, 1 fries), the damage was RM263.

If your budger is lower, just go for ribeye or less gram /smaller meat.

Roger... Any photo to start the saliva drippin?

Attached thumbnail(s)

Niceeeee
Medium? Not sure if i can take medium rare, blood bit ok, too much my gf cannot take it
Wat type of meat to choose from? I mean Australia/ US?

That is medium.
That restaurant serves wagyu and normal angus/hereford. Limited wallet just choose either angus or hereford.

U see any restaurant menu, u will know la. Your wallet determines every decision.

Tenderloin is my preferred cut - it’s the leanest meat and if prepared well, a good fillet mignon should be just slightly charred at the outsides but juicy, moist and red in the innards. The redness isn’t blood (hemoglobin, flows in the vessels) - it’s myoglobin (the blood is drained from the cow after slaughter, so the redness is the oxygen-carrying molecule found in the meat muscle).

I prefer mine medium rare. When I was younger, at times, I would love a blue steak with a healthy serving of herb butter but my palate has changed with age and now I prefer it medium rare and usually paired with a good Bordeaux or more specifically, a Pauillac from Bordeaux. I normally don’t enjoy reds on its own, but you can’t go wrong with it and a well prepared steak!

Enjoy your adventure in KL my friend!

ok...just read this blog
http://www.walauwei.com/2018/02/best-ribey...cher-carey.html

chef was the founder of las vacas
i'm salivating now
hirano steaks came without sos like in the blog? TS see...i told you you can cook at home also..just season with salt and pepper..

Yes it's like the blog, steak came without any sos.

There's sos for dipping if you ordered fries. Not something i've tasted before (the sos), something new to experience.

This post has been edited by hirano: Aug 26 2020, 09:55 AM

No problem.. glad that I never make you up car.. another difficult to spot place but quite awesome cuts is Honest Butcher.. google them first and see if its too your liking.. they only open up for lunch and by appointment only.. will share some pics in my next post..


they are not bad in small group.. tbh, it is owned by a dear friend of mine with his son.. been there a couple of times big group (more than 10) and they can't seem to reproduce small group setting quality.. one of the co-founder has left and setup another place which I've mentioned a couple of times in this thread..

Belum cuba, boleh cuba bro.. afterall, taste is subjective.. I do go there once in a while..


Bleu is something I have yet to try.. but you are spot on with medium rare.. I love it but somehow I have never learn to appreciate it with red wine.. be it with the Burgs, Bordeaux, Paulliac and Super Tuscans.. know anywhere I can find some Chateaubriand cuts? I truly am dying to try this.. more so if its any breed from the Wagyu range..


Us Malaysian lot can be quite, in no proper way to put it, confused with our eatings due to assimilation of so many cultures and food here.. I may be wrong too but to just eat it with no sauce is very much American.. since we are very much linked the English culture.. we also have sauces with our steaks served here (European style)..

No right or wrong, just preference of enjoying a well deserved meal..

On the spot choose raw meat and they cook, right?

Its fb listed operating hours as 10am-7pm though? If only lunch hour at 12-2pm, then will be quite troublesome
