Main Course

Australian Wagyu 7 Beef Steak RM95/100gm

*Chef recommendation that this special beefs to be enjoyed

without any accompanying sauce and medium done at most.

I didn’t try the beef steak (I don’t eat beef)… but I can smell the grilled streak aroma…

This is supposed to be best dish or highlight for the night and most of them really enjoyed it. According to Mary this steak cost around RM 200 plus and really worth to try it.

Australian Chilled Black Angus RM 42/ 100gm

According to some bloggers comment, this taste more meaty that Wagyu.

The grilled potatoes are fresh and tasty too.

The Salmon is fresh and Maria’s homemade tangerine sauce that really brings out the taste of it. Another dish I that i like.

Thanks to Mary (Maria’s daughter) for being so generously

Overall, I find that the food is fresh, all the staffs are friendly makes me feel at home and the price is reasonable. I love the Lamb Cutlets, the way they marinate them with herbs and spice.
