Las Vacas, Shoplex Mont Kiara

I have been having the weirdest cravings for a good slab of steak lately, and had always wanted to try out this place in Mont. Kiara, Las Vacas after several recommendation by friends. An in the true spirit of friendship/pure food-loving-ness i got a friend to join me right away.

All I could think of on the way to Las Vacas, this is all I could think of:






















Hmmm mmm yummy yum yum

Right after we reached we ordered ourselves 2 slabs of steaks for ourselves, a rib eye and a nice sirloin, weighting about 200-250 grams each, just the right amount of beefy goodness for me. The steaks took about 20-30 minutes to be done, as it is a full house that night. That gave us more than enough time to admire the surroundings and got into some (food-related) small talks.

This is one of the typical butchery/cafe settings one would expect in this area, premium meat products, ranging from choice cut steaks to hearty sausages on one side, relaxing and homely cafe setting on the other side. A really nice ambiance for any small family or loving couples.

































And after the 20 minutes wait, our lovely steaks arrived :D

The meat was prepared perfectly, medium just the way I love it. The middle was pink and juicy, yet warm enough to release its pleasant aromas. The chef definitely did justice to this good piece of meet. I didn't care much for the salad as it was covered in thousand island sauce, not really my favorite sauce of all time, but the bread was perfect to suck up all the lovely steak juices.























































We ordered ourselves a nice bottle of Shiraz from McClaren Vale for good measure, and they paired really well together.
























The steaks we had cost about RM60-80 per serving, they go by the weight of the meat instead of one fixed price. The wine cost about RM150. A good enough price for a good night of steak and wine if you ask me.

Here's a map for you readers. Las Vacas is located in Shoplex, Mont. Kiara, just beside Baskin Robbins. Do call for reservations if you can as seats are limited.

Karl's Beisl, Solaris Mon't Kiara

Happy hour became the happiest hour for my working days ever since i started my first job. Since then, i have always been around here and there, trying out various bars, pubs, KTVs, clubs and dare i say, night clubs around town.

This place however, would be my pick for the most comfortable and relaxing bar in Solaris.

Karl's Beisl, roughly translated to Karl's bistro in Austrian, is a nice little restaurant/bar in Solaris. The setting is old school European, very very simple furnishing. Surprisingly i find this place absolutely perfect for a good pint (or five) after work.

I order just 2 pints of Tetleys English Ale, my favourite Brittish ale which i was quite surprised that they serve, as i was going for a full-on japanese buffet later on (yea...u know which one i am talking about...haha).


















just what the doctor ordered...

Theres nothing like smooth, rich, well textured ale rushing down your throat into your stomach...just what the doctor ordered after another day of balls busting work...

The bar area is, in my point of view, just right. The classic wodden cabinets, nice arrangements of bottles makes for a smmothing sight to look at while sipping away your favourite pint of liquid gold.

















nice view eh?

Normal price for a pint of Tetleys over here is RM22++, standard price for imported beer in Malaysia. Appearently this place serves quite a number of authentic European dishes as well...will look into this matter ASAP :D

Heres a map of the place for you readers. Karl's Beisl is located a couple of lots away from Hagen-daz ice cream shop.
