the best steak i ever have & continue to have..

Uptown Damansara - Steven

why pay more when you enjoy less ....

J&R? the wine bar also?

Steven? wats the full name of the restaurant?

it's located end lot of the Damansara Uptown Hawkers. 6-2am.
tell them what sauce you want, if not they just pour brown gravy.
i tasted so many from ikea, tony roma, fridays, victoria station...
nothing can beat this steven steak.

The Ship.

Another vote for Jake's Charbroiled Steaks. My #1 choice for their spare ribs.

Jake's is hands down one of the best places for steaks in KL, forget the other recommendations for the Ship,Victoria Station etc, it's all crap in comparison.

How you determine good steak?

Cut, texture, juiciness, marbling, obviously it needs to be cooked to your liking (medium rare for me)....a proper steak should be eaten 'Au Jus' i.e. in it's own juices and no additional 'sauces/marinades'. That's not to say I don't enjoy a nice black pepper, or a gorgonzola steak at some points. But for the real steak connoisseur it should be 'au jus'.

Sounds like you're a food fan of my own design.

If you haven't been you have to try Jake's, you'll not be disappointed. Great selection of US, Australian, NZ beef, and wagyu as well.

Someone already mentioned Morton's in Singapore....great all around steakhouse chain, I used to visit the one in Boston from time to time during my University days, but it's not cheap. We're talking 100SGD a steak at least and it comes with nothing but the meat. A baked potato is 20SGD as well. Took a lot of clients there too Great Martinis as well.

If you're travelling....

New York - Peter Luger.... the best in the WORLD

I like your interpretation about how to enjoy the steaks but some don't. I have been into Jake, Prime, Gaucho and most of the establish steak house if you read from the first page Never been into those 2 you mention on the last comment though. Will visit if I travel to S'pore. I'm asking this question because I read someone mention Steven steaks are the best. For me I enjoyed steaks without any sauce or marinate.

For a good steak, look for the cattle breed, grain or grass fed, doneness and aging. You have top breeds like Wagyu, and Black Angus which is available at must upmarket steak houses.

Something different, look for aged meat, Aging tenderizes the meat and enchances the flavor, very few steakhouse bother as this process requires storage and cash, if you're looking for it, you can find it at Prime (Le Meridien) or Qba (westin).

For good and properly cooked steak, recommend Qba of Westin, Prime of Le Meridien, Nero Vivo on Jalan Ceylon, Chiaroscuro at Jalan Bedara, La Terrasse French Restaurant on Jalan Berangan and Bruno at Jaya 33. Of course, premium price.

If you prefer the local spin of steaks, tenderized meat+welldone+ soaked with your mushroom/black pepper sauce, don't waste your money by going the above. Can try The Ship, Mama Chop papa gril, Victoria Station

how to enjoice the steak? i new to steak.

The best and affordable steak in town will be in Pannaz...much more better than The Ship, San Francisco Steak House and TGF...

Prime>Angus>Jake>Maredo/Gaucho or normal steakhouse SFS>TGF>VS

angus very expensive i go and see in pavilion

but got foie gras

IMHO,
1. worth the money you paid for.
2. i can wallop 2sets & cost me RM20.00
3. save my hunger until got free invitation open house that have the lamb grill.

hey guys i bought some fillet mignon in midvalley jusco market for RM11 each. izit cheap? i personally asked the butcher to prepare 6 fresh cut of the those for me. total price was 70+ only =.= he said its australian beef.
the texture was awesome. neednt any tenderising and it was pretty soft at medium( around 70%)
