As I was walking toward The Chop House, I could already smell aroma of food. I was greeted by a wooden decor at the entrance of the restaurant. The first impression that I had when I first entered the restaurant was cosy. There was great music, the lights were neither too bright nor too dark. The temperature was also just nice, it wasn't too cold nor too hot. The ambience was just awesome. A good place for chilling with friends over alcoholic drinks. It is a restaurant cum bar.This is how the me
This is how the menu looks like, the chopper depicts how everything had to be sliced, just like how the restaurant is named:
I ordered the Italian Style Braised Short Ribs ($40) for two, to share with my girlfriend. It is definitely worth the try. Honestly, I didn't know what I was eating at first. I had no idea if it was pork, lamb or beef. As I am a beef lover, whenever I have steaks, I would have it in medium rare, as the meat would be juicy and tender. However, when I cut the Short Ribs, I realised that it was "well done" on the inside, it was not red at all. I thought it was going to be dry. To my surprise, the meat was still juicy, tender and succulent. I asked around and they told me it was beef. I was dumb-founded. I still could not believe that beef could still be juicy, tender and succulent despite the colour. The beef was accompanied by Potatoes, Roasted Bell Peppers, Asparagus, Fresh Mozzarella Cheese and Tomato Sauce. It was a unique dish that I have never came across before, the potato was mixed with the above mentioned and the taste was amazing. Here's how the dish looks like:
The end the meal, I had their dessert; Apple Strudel in Tortilla with Vanilla Icecream($11). It was one unique dessert that I will go back to have it again. Inside the apple strudel in tortilla had sweet raisins with apple soaked in cinnamon with a bit of granolas. It was luke warm and with the compliments of the cold vanilla icecream, it was just the perfect combination. Here's how my dessert looks like:
The prices of the food there ranges from $25 - $50 per item for the main course, and $8 - $15 for the desserts. Lastly, I would like to applaud the service crew. The service crew was very friendly and helpful, and also very efficient. They were fast in helping you clear your plates after having your meals to make sure you are comfortable around a cleaner table rather than a messy table. Isn't it better to have a cleaner table to chat with a cup of beer or a messy table? Definitely the cleaner one right. They were also very efficient in refilling the glass of water that I had. In almost less than 3 mins after drinking finish the cup of water, they would come and offer a refill.
I would recommend this place for gatherings, and couples who just want to sit there, have a meal and chill. Its a very cosy place that one will love.
