last time my mom used to have a restaurant and there is 1 western chef.
i think his steak or lamb or etc is the best till now..im like you,been in those shop you mention above,but i think the chef meal is the best.
Now,my maid used to working with 1 of famous private spa in shah alam.so she know how to cook western like the chef working in the spa.
Her western food,two thumbs up..
Theres is nothing can compare both of them,because what they cook,have its own specialty.So,i like both.
60% of delicious is come from the gravy,another 40% is from the meat.

Degree of cooking i prefer medium-well.Coz its not too dry and juicy.
