Jake’s Charbroiled Steaks

Short review on my belated father’s day dinner at Jake’s Charbroiled Steaks at Medan Damansara. This is the original Jake’s since 1982; it has a branch at StarHill opened not too long ago. Let’s dive straight into the food review. Mom had grilled salmon (RM38.90). She’s rather particular with fish, any slightest fishy stench will render the dish inedible. However, she didn’t complain on this one, definitely a good sign. The salmon is accompanied by flavored butter and a dollop of caviar. The butter went extremely well with the fish. No tartar or chilli sauce required. I ordered an Australian aged tenderloin steak, medium-well (RM63.90). with a few twist of blackpepper, the steak was ready to be savoured. It was exactly how I wanted my steak to be, not too pink but sufficiently tender. The flavor of the beef tickled my taste buds in all the right spots. The fiancé’s ribeye steak was mediocre (RM58.90, not pictured). It’s alright but nothing to shout about. So, skip!The best order of the night was aptly Dad’s steak, Black Angus ribeye (RM88). It was one of the best steaks ever! Cooked to medium, it was so juicy and succulent. The taste and texture of the beef simply blows your mind. All the dishes at Jake’s are very simple, served with veg and potatoes. Brown/black pepper/mushroom sauce is not needed; the quality of the meat and the seasoning is enough to bring the steak to perfection. Skip the desserts tho. The chocolate brownie (RM9.90) is really just chocolate sponge cake with melted chocolate on top. Honestly, this is one of the worst brownies I’ve even eaten. At jake’s, stick to their good old uncompromised steaks.

Roadhouse Grill

On top of school holidays, last Thursday (11-Dec-2008) was Selangor Sultan's birthday, Genting was flooded by mountain of visitors.









Coming down from Genting, it was raining cats & dogs throughout the whole KL, tired of being stuck in traffic, we decided to pull off at Roadhouse Grill for a sumptuous western dinner. A waitor dressed up like cowboy greeted us at door.









Tea light was set on every dining table. furnished with hand painted walls and an antique jukebox, Roadhouse Grill embraced us with tinge of Wild-wild West spirit.

No clue what to order, we decided to pick from the chef's recommendations, I chose grilled ribeye steak with BBQ sauce while Moon selected fish & chips.

The meal served to us promptly. My set encompassed baked potatoe, salad and bun.The ribeye was chunky, barbeque sauce tasted quite similar to Tony Roma's, just that the marinated beef was not perfectly soaked up and the texture was kind of coarse and chewy.

Fish & chip was fine, outer layer was crusty and the fillet was fresh. Dim lighting contributed to a romantic dining ambiance, undeniably an ideal place for dating your love one. It is labelled as E in the below map overlapped by D.
