Jake's Charboil Steaks


This is the main food highlight in our KL trip. Jake's Charbroil Steaks. Thanks to my Uncle and Aunty in KL, this was a very good meal we both had with you guys.

This place is famous as on the walls you would see a lot of celebrity photos and also our ex-Prime Minister dining in this place. Place has a cowboy atmosphere in it with wooden tables and chairs just like those cowboy towns restaurants you see in movies.


What we were both told was that the beef ribs here were to die for...so we both ordered it. I was expecting ribs with meat, but it came differently, the meat was already "out of the bone". It was good because you do not have to go through the hassle of digging the meat out. So anyways how were the beef ribs???? It was SUPERBLY GOOD!!! All thumbs up for this. So much better than Tony Romas or TGIF or Chillis. The trick in eating this, taught by my uncle is to cut the meat in small cubes before you put it in your mouth. This way the meat melts in your mouth when you chew it. Ohhh I am starting to crave it now.

Enough of drooling over the picture, before the beef ribs came, we had some Oxtail Soup, Potato Skins and Garlic Bread. Oxtail soup was good and tasty with a lot of chunky oxtail meat.

Then the Potato skins were stuffed with minced meat, capsicum and onions. Not forgetting the melted cheese on top of it. It was crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. Wonderful.

Garlic bread was good. It was cripsy and soft in the insides and soaked well with garlic butter. But you do not see any garlic chunks on the bread.

And then here is something that I will not ever forget in my whole entire life. I ate Escargots...well not ate but was forced to try. The gravy where the escargots were baked in was good. It was very garlic-ish in taste. But seeing how it looked like all on the plate, my goosebumps started to stand. And worst off all seeing how it looked like after removing out from the shell was even more disgusting. Why do I say I was forced to try, well my Aunty and Uncle both love eating Escargots and they made me try it that night. Said I cannot leave without trying it...so okla braved myself, took it out from the shell, cut it into half (squishy indeed) and shiveringly put it in my mouth. First few seconds I could get the nice Garlic taste. Then another taste came as I started to chew it. Juices came out...and I just swallowed it all in. Phew....I Did it and never again will I eat it again. I just can't put my mind off the way it looks like. And the funny thing, after I swallowed it, Ed took the other half and swallowed it like a pill instantly. He did it so fast that everyone else was still laughing at my facial expression before they could even concentrate on him eating it. He too would be his first and last eating this.

For dessert we had this caramelized butterscotch cashewnut dish. I forgot what it was called on the menu. It was good. Something unique which I have never had before.


We both enjoyed the dinner that night despite the Escargot scene. Dinner was indeed wonderful. We both shall be back here again for the ribs. Its an all thumbs up for this.
Thanks to my Uncle and Aunty for bringing us here for dinner.
