51 Restaurant and Bar – Changkat Bukit Bintang – good steaks in KL!

The 51 Restaurant is actually under the Pampas Group of restaurants. The Pampas restaurants (PAMPAS Grill & Bar on Changkat, Pampas Reserve at Bukit Ceylon’s Suasana Residences, Pampas Burger Dataran Jelatek, Setiawangsa and 51 Restaurant) are known for their steaks.

Funnily enough though I’m a huge steak eater I haven’t stepped into any of Pampas restaurants till recently.
I guess I must have given up finding good steaks in KL without having to pay and arm and a leg.
My default steak places has been either Beato or The Restaurant at Saujana (Chef Alexander Waschl is a superb chef and I like most of his creations).

Now, I added 51 Restaurant to my list because I just had a really good rib eye for RM45++! 🙂

Example: 250g Grass Fed Rib Eye, medium rare – RM45++ .

Grand Hyatt Hotel KL : Peanut Butter Sesame Snowskin

In view of the recent health-conscious mindset of Malaysia’s population, all of Grand Hyatt’s traditional baked and snowskin mooncakes come with less sugar for a less sinful celebration.
The baked traditional ones includes red bean, white lotus, white lotus with single yolk and white lotus with double yolk.
I had sampled those last year so you can read about them HERE –> https://rebeccasaw.com/grand-hyatt-kuala-lumpur-mooncakes-for-2013/

This year, I concentrated instead on their snowskin varieties which I missed last year.
All handcrafted, 4 snowskin varieties are available in black sesame, green tea, pandan and lotus flavours. Prices begin at RM26++ per piece or RM102++ per box.

Limapulo – Jalan Doraisamy: A Nyonya meal in KL for dinner

This is a follow up from my previous post about the set lunches here at Limapulo.
If you had missed it, the link is –> HERE).
As I have said, I enjoyed the set lunches (or rather the ones that I ordered) but not so much the dinner.

Dinner was actually my first visit and while it didn’t make much of a positive impression on me nor my fellow dinner mates,  I’m glad that I returned for lunch, for the Ayam Berempah Curry was fabulous and the Mee Siam is quite good.
