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.

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

where's Jake u guys been talking abt?

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%)

nope. jz ordinary australian beef

Prime too grand leh..maybe if I get 10A1s in SPM my dad will think about it..3 slabs of meat for RM300..T_T Can eat at lemongarden seafood buffet(Alaskan crab FTW) for less...

So far the best steaks I've tried are from Victoria and TonyRoma's. But TonyRoma's RM99.90 Wagyu ribeye is a different story. I hope that Jake's doesnt get beaten by TonyRoma's

It could be a Bangla grilling your RM300 Kobe

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

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

You dont seek. You request

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

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.

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

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?

One thing I dont understand about USDA grading is the grades are just based on the intensity of meat marbling. Does that mean all wagyu beef is USDA prime?

Sorry for my ignorance but USDA graded beef doesnt necessarily mean it is flown in from US of A?

Also, is 150gram of meat alot?

Is the quality of the meat standardized to Australian beef only? Or do they serve only one type of beef with different parts?

Speaking of which, the steak and rice at Pasta Zanmai is pretty good. the meat is pinkish in the middle. very juicy. meat was about an inch thick, nicely sliced, every piece was succulent. This is the best way to enjoy steaks. Only very thick steaks can retain enough juiciness in the meat.

Just had dinner at Las Carretas.

Ordered two sets of New Year's Eve Dinner set with Ribeye medium and one set of Master Kobe. Also ordered an oxtail soup and Fajitas. Damage done was RM409. ( Brought our own wine, RM30 service charge)

The ribeye was a tad bit dry, probably due to the fact its done medium. Nonetheless its a good piece of ribeye.

The Master Kobe, on the other hand, was sliced into pieces, total of 150g. Nothing spectacular. I had better ones at Tony Roma's. Honestly, that didn't fill me up, which led me to ordering the Fajitas even after desserts(from the two dinner sets). Fajitas was good though, very meaty, lotsa toppings and warm pita.

All in all, the steaks were great but nothing to shout about. I have to say Tony Roma's Wagyu Ribeye is still the best I've tried yet. I might return to Las Carretas for their Margaritas(pretty famous) and the USDA choice beef.

Lafite's Australian Wagyu Steak is superb. Gonna upload pictures once I get the pics from aunt

the French restaurant in Shangri-la hotel. About RM210 for the steak. Serving portion is pretty decent.

i can't wait to patron Ruth's Chris steak house in hongkong end of this year. My aunt says its impossible to leave the restaurant without being at least US100 poorer(per head) back in Washington
