Hie,

Can recommend a place in klang valley that is good for steaks? Please don't say Victoria station. i've already given up on that place. Food is bad for what i'm paying.

Looking for well aged steaks. Heard prime was good last time. How about now? Couple of my friends told me it's not worth going there.

My preference would be those smaller restaurants where they serve good food and nothing else.

I also wanna know. I will tumpang here for updates. Cant wait.

I should say Prime is still the best steak in Malaysia. For basic kind of meat already reach Rm200 for two. If your financial is not a problem, you should try it. Otherwise Argentinian Steakhouse would be good too.

P/S : Wagyu beef is my favorite there

HardRock Cafe KL...should try its..nice steak there!

Maredo's, is it whats it calleD?? @_@ can't remember

This is what I reply above. Maredo Steakhouse (Argentinian Beef)

drink ais kosong ?

how about Victoria Station/Italiannies? but prepare to burn a big hole in ur wallet though..

LOL TS already said dun want Victoria Station

Anyway, to help you cross out another restaurant, San Francisco steakhouse isn't great either

Chilli's also about the same as SF steakhouse

How about old-skool, Coliseum?

where's that?

Coliseum is at Jalan TAR.....are the classic sizzling steaks still served there?

where's this maredo steakhouse? food's good there? From pic, looks nice.

Yeah....about to say that too. But been 2 years I've not been there, wonder how's the food still. Love their ribs....


Those who likes steak wouldn't choose Victoria station as there's not much quality control. Italiannies like their name is more meant for pasta and pizza i.e. Italian food. I wouldn't recommend The Ship or Road House either.

A lot had recommended Tony Roma, but still haven't try that out yet.

I'm trying to stay away from VS, ITA, The Ship and San Fran. Frankly, steaks at these places are not steaks. just a slab of meat.

so far maredo looks promising. Any location? From google, i have location ranging from crown regency hotel to hartamas.

go try THE SHIP....nice....the beef...( duno called what name alr..) really delicious.

Where do you live btw? Actually there is one in Bangsar Village, 1 near KLCC ( I think is situated at Jln P ramlee, same row with Modesto's), Hartamas. Yeah its promising and the price is slightly higher than other major steakhouse. Usually there are a lot of foreigner eat in near KLCC outlet.

Aside from Prime, the other places I would try for good steaks aren't steakhouses but fancy/fusion restaurants who happen to have a steak dish or two. These would be Lafite, Chalet, Frangipani, or Cilantro (whenever it reopens).

Coliseum is not bad, very very old brand...i usually hav mine in tony roma n the ship...

Coliseum is okay. Maria's (Damansara Perdana) serves an alright steak - and they also have wagyu. I've heard good things about Angus in Pavilion, was disappointed with Maredo's. Took my dept there, all the steaks were bone dry. EEEEEECHk.

Guess i'll be trying out Maredo. Thanks guys for the options.
I'll be heading to the Jln Telawi branch as i'm sort of more familiar with the area. Can give me more precise address? landmarks perhaps?

That's right

I go to Monte's once in a while. There is one in BSC and another in Sunway Pyramid.

The ship is nice...Near JAlan Bukit Bintang...recommended...

Its located in Bangsar Village. You could see big signboard though

hehe
^^
i recommend tony roma:)
is nice..better then chillis...
the ship is normal



if like cheaper 1...restoran kaki,,near cheras oso okir...gei nice
if stay nearby genting klang...d station 1 oso not bad...

tony rama...where is it ?? precise location with landmark perhaps ??

mandero..in bangsar village ah ?? where is it ?? is it near midvalley ??

Aiyoo...Tony Roma's at Pavillion, The Garden and Cineleisure. About the pricing, maredo got vacuum or chilled beef. For two person 3 course meal for about Rm160 while Roma's about Rm100. My opinion, Tony Roma's suck since their beef are not fresh and normal only.

Eagle's Nest in Damansara Perdana.

Nothing beats it. I've tried steaks in Prime (labeled as one of the best steaks in the world), yet I still think Eagle's Nest serves the best steaks. They literally melt in your mouth.

Plus, they are one of the very, very few places I know that serves fresh escargots instead of frozen ones.

Eagle nest also not too bad . But for me, I would say their Bernaise sauce in Americano steak interrupt the juicy/taste of the meat itself. Also, the location is a bit hard lah. Anyway this restaurant have same rating with maredo though. I would rate 8.5/10. Too bad I missed the escargot part.

But Tony Roma in Singapore is good....but yet to try the ones here.

Really? You should try it here and post your comment. I tried 2 times because 1st time is at PV. After the meal was so bad, I go complain into Tony Roma's worldwide website. Raymond (He said GM of Tony Roma's) calling me and asking a few question regarding my complain and I received 2 complimentary meal which I go to Tony Roma's The Garden. Unfortunately, the meals about the same. Nothing different. Their lamb is like what we buy from Giant( marinated) and bake into pan. Nothing exciting for the rack of lamb. During complimentary meal, I order their shrimp for appetizer, it taste good to me. Their dessert also excellent, no complain.

No more malaysia steak restaurant for me. I know having some other ppl to cook for you is nice....for me, I get the beef myself (chilled grained feed or wahyu of course) eg Prime Rib (they call it OB Rib), or a sirloin at 4.5 kgs that feeds about 6 big eaters.....medium rare for me...internal temp of 55 celcius. Some ppl say is abt 63 but at that temp...the steak really taste like sand paper......

ruth chris steak's are nice....

agree wif u. Cook ur steak by urself. Taste? Great.(follow the receipe la) BTW, VS steak house didnt get HALAL sijil yet. So to Muslim like me its limited our choices of steak restaurant..


I heard steak house around Kampung Baru quite good n price oo good..Halal summore..

Seconding the Prime suggestion on previous page. Definately makes alot of other places look pretty darn normal =p

Tried Maredo on friday for my bday. Good food. Reasonably priced too. 2 person dinner came up to about RM 180 bucks. Went to the Bangsar branch.

We did order quite alot of stuff. I mean, 1 bruchetta, 2 tapas, 1 steak, 1 cod fish, 1 tiramisu and 2 drinks. Haha gluttony to the max.

The squid rings are pretty good while the eggplant tapas were over-powered by the thick slice of pepperoni. The waiter forgot to serve us the bread and sauce for the tapas though, had to ask for it.

I had their rib-eye steak and it's basically the way i wanted it. Medium rare with nothing fancy on it. Just dip their chimichurri sauce is enough. My gf had the cod fish which is awesome with the sun dried tomato sauce.

Highly recommended to go, just park at Bangsar village there and walk up to Maredo. Don't give those stupid thugs a chance to earn money by parking at the parking lot.

sharing sharing

1. TonyRoma's (Midvalley)

sandwich


Rosemarry Chicken

2. Coliseum Cafe
most popular is sizziling steak

Not much of a steakhouse in Malaysia to choose....Tony Roma is famous for it pork ribs around the world(sorry to the Muslim bro)...but in Malaysia they change the menu....but if go Singapore...must go and try the Morton's steakhouse in The Oriental hotel...excellent....

I thought Tony Roma sucks. I have been there once, ordered code fish and rosemary chicken, sucks... and I never want to go back there anymore.

Or maybe I chose the wrong things. Or maybe their steak is good.. I don't know.


My Travel & Living

The Ship..
the steak is not bad, resasonable price!
i tried its tomyam soup before, really very nice!

steakhouse serving tom yam soup is a failed place...

Looks like The ship has lost its identity.

Take more photos of your steak experience and show us all... >.< Where is monte?

This post has been edited by sezretz: Nov 18 2008, 01:26 AM

i have it on my blog.
aaronphotogdiary.blogspot.com

err, this restaurant? Seems like only sells fish head noodles lol.

For steaks ... for me i don't bother with the so-called middle range stuff (e.g. the ship, VS, etc). For the price you pay imo the quality is not worth it. either splurge on prime/angus/etc once in a blue moon, or just whack some cheap rm15 steak at some random place just to delay the steak cravings from my stomach ;x

is the Prime located in Le Meridien hotel KL central there?
make me drooling wanna try next month...
is the environment ok?

Yes. Environment was great. Rm200++ for basic kind of meat.

The one and only.....coliseum restaurant and bar. the sizzling steak is wicked!!

i wanted to go to eagle's nest but i read from fried chillies that it was closed down.. is it true?
is there anywhere else tht anyone can recommend pls?
I m looking for a place to have steak but i dont want places like TGIF, Chillies, tony romas.. i prefer something like san francisco steak hse, Victoria St, or the apartment..
read about merado too but i m not so keen as i prefer more flavourful steak.
TIA!

Traders Hotel

A good steak should be well aged. Contrary to common knowledge, fresh meats are tough, dry and tasteless. Meats (red meats) need to be aged in a chiller before being cut up into pieces for sale.

That's why PRIME offers aged steaks up to 200 days. It means that the meat is hung in the chiller for 200 days before being cut into slices and turned into steaks.

For beginners, i guess you can try the ribeye steak or sirloin. Most cuts are about the same, the most important thing is the marbling (fat) content of the meat. More marbling, more tender.

There are lots of cuts of meat, do read up on it first to know what is what. As with cuts, there's also different types of meats such as Kobe Beef (fed with sake), Matsusaka beef, agnus beef and etc. Each type has different quality and price can range from cheap to astronomically high. For beef, you get what you pay for.

Well said

Forgot to add..

most important thing about eating beef is..

IT MUST BE MEDIUM RARE!

or else, don't bother at all. If you want all your meat well cooked, please just order chicken or fish. Steaks which are cooked through are tough, chewy and taste like paper.

Another thing. Meats must be rested before eating. Meaning, it's not ready to eat immediately after cook. They have to be rested for 5-10 minutes to get all the juices back into the meat. If it's not rested, all the juices of the meat will come out when you cut into it. That's why you end up with a plate full of red juices at the end of your meal.

Added on November 25, 2008, 6:41 pmfor wines (if i ever order), i'll just ask the waiter to recommend. If you think that they are incompetent, then just go for the safest choice which is either chardonnay or pinot noir (or any bold flavor wine).

The only thing you should know is that white meat go with white wine, red meat goes with red. Any type of red should do fine unless you have those super sensitive tongue.

This post has been edited by raist86: Nov 25 2008, 06:41 PM

I don't think Medium rare is suitable for all people unless the beef are well aged. Medium also have good taste of meat itself.

Who the heck was it who recommended Rendezvous Steak Garden???

Based on that recommendation I went there for dinner. Here is a picture that best sums up what I think of the steak:


X does NOT mark the spot

That's right. It sucked so bad I didn't even bother finishing it, and instead cut it into an "X."

For those of you who like to visit san francisco for steak, please do look carefully at what you are eating as one of my last meal there, i had this experience- i was cutting the steak and suddenly i notice a small oblongish shape thingy and thought mayb it was some kind of herb.. and know what? i realized then that i was looking at a baby cockroach! >< omgosh, i called for the waiter and then the manager and they took back the steak, i din even want a replacement! gross and so unhygienic.
i kinda miss the tiramisu there but oh well..

Just forget those big name steakhouses lo. They're just operating based on their brand. Food totally not up to quality.

In fact, i think this applies to most franchise restaurants like TGI, Chillis, Italiannese and etc. I find the food there getting from bad to worse.

Now i just go to those smaller fine dining restaurants. Price wise about the same but quality is so much better.

I heard that Eagle's nest closed down already, any idea if this is true??!?

first of all, are all these rsteakhouses that u guys pointed out HALAL??
if it is, i would like to try it with my family as i am a steak lover but could find any steakhouses that suites me well..

i think maredo steakhouse is halal as i've seen muslims eating there.

Can call them up to inquire first.

any other recommendation??

Yo,

I'm a steak lover. Used to have steak and lamb chops 2 to 3 times a week in Australia. $10 for 2 rib eye from the supermarket. Yum Yum!

Back to topic. Only 2 place in town I would recommend for steak.

1. Prime
I frequent this place when it first opened. However, I've been hearing that their quality has dropped lately.
They had this special when they first opened. RM299 for 3 steaks. About 300gram each.
It was the best of steaks from 3 regions. Argentina, USA and Australia. They didn't serve the Wagyu. Not that I like
wagyu anyway. Too much fats. I like a balanced meat! If you know what i mean. About 30% marble.

2. Rothman Round About.
This is an old place. From my parents time. Can't remember the name but it's the corner shop at Rothman Round About.
Been there a couple of times 3 years ago. Their cheese Fillet steak is amazing. Reasonable price.

Others I have not tried but are said to be good.

3. Jakes near Victoria Station at Damansara

4. Japanese Steak House at Pavillion (Always full)

These are proper steak house. Places like Lafite, Cilantro, 3rd Floor, etc are not.

I don't justify the price at these places for steak at such high prices.

Theres a mexican place in Sunway Damansara called Caliente. They serve pretty tasty steak, topped with cheese. slrrrrp. (ask the chef how the meat is, hes pretty honest)

Nope. All steakhouse discuss in this thread are not getting Halal certificate from Jakim. If this Halal is what you mean.

This post has been edited by Putraskyline: Nov 27 2008, 05:06 PM

i see..so there aren't any steakhouses with HALAL certificate from Jakim..iseh..too bad for me..

You can try Big Plate Steakhouse in Shah Alam. I forgot the exact location. Its just above normal western food shop. Their cut are not like steakhouse.

I just had the most awesome Wagyu steak at Maria's @ Damansara Perdana.. quite a pity because it's rather unknown and hidden from the road.



totally orgasmic

This was in Gaucho Grill

Wow you guys really know how to enjoy your steak.
For me, TheShip is good enough. Hehe..

I've tried Coliseum as well. Its really an old place, the steak there is not bad. Haha.. Cant really remember as it was way long ago

what's those between the prawns and squids? mushroom?

After all these years of steak eating, nothing beats the steak at The Ship.
It is just wonderful and for a very reasonable price too

Attached thumbnail(s)

Stuffed mushroom.


You took my big lobster mah, left hte small one for me.

haha...sorry out of this topic, ur puppy is bichon or chi wawa?

Mmmm, for those who recommend The Ship, which branch do you go?

I think some are quite bad and some are still good. How about the one opposite BB plaza?

anyone tried the wagyu ribeye at tony roma's? its the best steak i eva had in a long long time. seriously burnt a hole in my wallet and jeans..RM99.90 for it. wanted to go for the filet mignon priced at RM59.90 as it is the best cut of the beef , so i've heard.

the location at kampung melayu subang....one of the best halal western food/steak house i've ever go in klang valley...

there is another one halal steakhouse at kampung baru called hr steak...food is nice too with reasonable price...

I managed to find out the restaurant with the most generous yet tasty plate of lamb chops so far. Imagine $14.90 for lamb chop fit for 2 persons. And the rest of their dish are affordably priced.

It's located inside the clubhouse in a Guarded community called Gita Bayu, Serdang. Alot of bungalows and townhouses there with expatriates as residents.

The problem is, you can only go dine there on weekdays, as weekends are exclusively reserved for residents only.

What the restaurant name? Any steak served?

Kebun Mimpi > http://bukitgitabayu.com/clubhouse.html


If my memory has not fail me, I think yes as they're catering for the mostly western expatriates. They have different "daily specials". Been there twice at noon and happens to be on Friday... but only once able to catch the Lamb Chop at such price. Maybe if you're lucky you can get the steaks cheap too.

$14.90 for the lamb are promotional prices or normal prices? From the website, the outlook is amazing.

Gita Bayu is 5 minutes drive from my house! But from the few times I've gone there the guards will insist on calling up the host house for their OK before letting you in leh. Will they let me in if I say I just want to go to the clubhouse to eat?


It's cos you haven't had anything better. If you're not that willing to spend huge amounts on food, then please don't ever try any of the expensive options in this thread, cos once you do you'll be hooked and won't ever be satisfied for rm40 steaks.


Eh everyone has their own tastes I guess, but The Ship steaks are pretty mediocre imo.

I don't want to sound like a condescending ass, but steaks are different from other food. A cheap italian place has the potential to surprise you with good pasta, but cheap steaks are never good because you can't get high quality meat at low prices.

Do u all hv the clubhouse phone number .. wanna try to go there to eat
the phone provided in the website only enquire property.

i think last time i saw halal sign at the ship damansara..
but dont know from JAKIM or what..
now i find this from halal directory:


dont know whether their halal certificate still valid or not..

if cheap steak
...i tink the best so far...is tnear ampang point not rly near there...but near the "little korea" near ampang point...theres a stall called....Remjer sumthing i forgot ....very nice steak oh n try the grill chicken also... around RM10+ for the steak....i ate there last yr...now i dunnoe...

BUT.....f'ing expensive....its like RM200-RM300 each back den...i dunnoe i forgot...
ohya market price ...i know 1 thing...the waiter recommend it to my mom....yep smart waiter
n their chicken dish also one of the best to me...very crunchy...its like i wanna simpan some for tmr LOL....
oh n try their toffee thingy...taste good though...dis is like 1 yr ago i tink....my mom dont like dis place...

location theres one near bangsar??? near victoria station...-not good wif roads here -
oh n theres one in starhill....i dunnoe still there or not..

i tink the bangsar branch better...since dats the original one...
but starhill damm nice..rly like the "vibes" there...

I haven't eat any steak at any place which i really love it in recent years.
It was back 10 years where I found colleseum's streak were awesome guess their standard dropped a lot when i revisit them back 5 years ago.

Outback Steakhouse ... i try their Rib-Eye ... not too bad to me

the ship in damansara is good. no doubt

I never been to Outback yet but someday I want to dine there. How about price wise?

aaa i went there the other day! it's called Castell, right? my cousin had the cheese fillet steak, they use the blue stilton cheese. i used to go a lot when i was younger because i loved the crab bisque and the rib eyes on the wooden plates. it's a bit different now, though. it's an ok place, they just need to up the quality and service and consistency a bit.

The Ship.

Tony Roma's
try the RM99.90 wagyu ribeye. GODLY

For Steaks !

Top Spot
Jake's Charbroil Steakhouse (not to be confused with jack's place )
- large cuts of meat grilled the true style(little marinate)

Good
Friday's
- good tasting steaks
Jack's place
- well worth the price with great tasting sides

VS
- too long never tried, can be considered average if i remember correctly

Bad
Tony Romas
- tried recently their sirloin + bbq beef ribs combo.. sirloin felt like rubber, chew chew forever and the taste.. yek


Never tried prime b4.. too exp..

I liked Jake's 1-2 years ago, they really cook the doneness correctly to your order and serve the steak the real way, without sauce. Hope the quality hasn't dropped. Price is RM30-60 depending on what cut I think, very reasonable.

where's Jake u guys been talking abt?

Starhill or Medan Damansara

yea i've gone to coliseum before..really not bad..the waiters are all very old..
