Rm400 is more than enough for great steak. LOL

go to riblees or checkers or coliseum (spell check pls)
lol if u see spm leaver grlling your steak, better not. ruining a good steak is a sin!11

chillies!
good price with great steaks!

how much is the cheapest aging steak? Is there really any difference in terms of taste and texture?

Cheapest 80 days Australian steak I think should not be more than 120. Its 8oz. Too many aged steak there, I cant remember at all. 80,120,200 and 300 if I'm not mistaken. The higher the number, the pricier it was. Also there are marbling grade. Aging, method of feeding and marbling are criteria to determine great meat. Yes there are different in term of taste, texture and tenderness. I'm only taste 4 different type of meat in Prime currently. Cannot comment much further. The best for me so far is Master Kobe Sirloin and Prime Rib was my favourite there. The portion of Master Kobe are small but rib are great.

Thanks for the input. Will be sure to check it out someday.

Gotta admit this..best steak I have had is still tonyroma's wagyu ribeye. No money go to expensive steakhouses yet

Here is my verdict so far...

You dont seek. You request

I've had the butcher in jusco midvalley chop up a few pieces of fillet mignon specially for me.

Fillet mignon is a yawner! The most boring cut, the only reason it's so famous is because you can't go wrong with it.

I had a solid rib-eye the other day at The Palm (in London). Great size (14oz; which is 400g). The best USDA Prime steak I've had. Just about crispy charred outside and well medium rare inside. Extremely marbled beyond belief you could mistake this for a Kobe.

My friend was kind enough to offer to take the tab as a present for my birthday. Quite expensive I must say, but you can't find anything remotely close to it in Malaysia (I've tried).

Best steak ? LAS CARRETAS !

Knipe in TB, or can try Richard's Top Taste if u out of $$$.......

best steak, ss3's mix grill for RM 8

How do you find the steaks there? What did you order?

Just cancelled Prime's reservation. 30% extra on all ala carte dish might as well go on another day for the same thing.

I'm now down to two choices: Maredo's steakhouse@bangsarvillage or Las Carretas @ ampang. Trying to avoid going to the Golden Triangle on New Year's Eve.

Whaddaya guys recommend? budget +/- RM300 for 3 person.

all place u all mentioned halal?? i went kg baru for steak..soooo cheap!!! the taste kinda good..

C-Note: Awaiting your review on either place. Please keep an eye out for USDA prime cuts.

Its decided. Las Carretas it is. Planning to try the Master Kobe http://www.lascarretas.com/promo.html and the New Year's Eve set http://www.lascarretas.com/prm-newyear-2009.html

USDA prime cuts? You reckon they have them?

Oh btw, what does the term '120 days' mean? Surely not the number of ageing days right?

Ala carte main courses are as follow : http://www.lascarretas.com/mnu-main-courses.html

If describing steak, I would guess that 120 days means 120 days of ageing. Could mean something else though.

Usually it's 28, but sometimes you get 6wks and even longer, 8 wks. 120 days is about 4 months which is ages! In a temperature controlled steak freezer, it can be aged for quite a bit depending on the quality of the meat.

Wagyu is just the breed of cow. Kobe must be bred in Japan (more specifically, Hyogo Perfecture). What you're getting is Kobe-style beef which is like, fake Kobe but made with the same cattle breed.

It seems that this place has USDA choice, which isn't great but better than most. I hope you have a great time.

I see. Well so far I only know that Prime and QBA utilize this ageing method.

How do you tell whether a restaurant serves USDA beef?

And one more thing, my mom is a lil paranoid about US beef due to mad cow disease outbreak. Should I be aware and avoid US beef?

Prime Le Meridien served USDA prime cut but the supply are limited. You have to make reservation for that to avoid disappointment.

what's QBA? Prime has USDA Prime, I just checked online (they only recently have a menu online). You can just ask whether they serve, or check their menus. If they have USDA Prime they would openly advertise it because it is difficult to acquire, only 2% of total beef products.

Ergh, Mad Cow? Not particularly concerned if you're eating USDA quality.
