Sketches of Life

When you see the word Steak House, what comes in your mind? For me, a restaurant with many choices of steak. T-Bone Steak, Rib Eye Steak, Sirloin Steak etc.

So I saw a new restaurant in town, My Homely Steak House. I decided to try it out. Steak house right, must have a lot of varieties of steak.

I browse thru the menu to find a page titled Western Food.

1. Sizzling Beef
2. Sizzling Chicken
3. Sizzling Fish
4. Sizzling Chicken with Mee. (use lar the word Noodle, typically Chinese)

Flipped through a few more pages. I can’t find my Steak. The rest are all Chinese dishes.

Only Sizzling Beef. Yes just ONE. Can’t find the word Steak also.

Since we are there, okay lar, try lar. I ordered my “Steak”. Gravy only 2 choices, Mushroom or Black Pepper. I chose black pepper. Hubby ordered the Sizzling Fish (dunno what fish) with Noodle…opps! Mee.

As for the drink, I ordered the Honeydew Milk Tea and hubby decided to try something new, Champagne Milk Tea. The waitress said it is very nice, blue colour. Both drinks are much diluted and the Champagne Milk Tea tasted like detergent!

We were served with a small portion of garden salad, one slice of capsicum, 4 leaves of lettuce and shredded carrot top with salad dressing and a small bowl of chicken soup with corn in it or is it corn soup? These are not stated in the menu.

I told hubby that judging from the drink and side dishes, I would not return to this shop. I hope the Sizzling Beef can change my mind. I was asked whether I want a 5 minutes or 7 minutes beef. Huh? I chose 7 mins, I like my beef to be well done.

Look at my Sizzling Beef. It comes with an egg too. 4 small pieces of beef top with black pepper. Like that ah, I can do the same at home.

And here’s hubby’s Sizzling Fish with Mee. Does not look appetizing at all.

The taste, nothing to shout about.

The ambience, very noisy with the waitress, the owner, his children and friends talking and laughing out laugh. Not a place to go for a quite dinner.

Verdict: I will not return. Just for that simple Sizzling Beef, it cost me RM22.00. Not worth it.

I think they should change the name of the restaurant to My Homely YamCha House. To name the restaurant Steak House is very deceiving.

Thank God I get to enjoy my Kornetto for dessert.

Stumble it!
