Aidiladha come and go, this year was nothing extraordinary. Although..our local mosque had to kosher 14 cows! 14! That had to be a record for the mosque. If you think about it, to kosher and fully cut all the meat for a single cow took about an hour, so 14 cows, if you only had 1 group of people for one cow, that's a total of 14 hours! On the bright side, more people gets the meat.
So how was your holiday? I was thinking to spend the long weekend in KL, but last minute plan changes it. I had to follow my parents to Kuantan, visiting my little bro studying there. The plan was to depart on Saturday, but after careful planning, it will be suicide to travel on Saturday, so we decided to head there on Sunday, and return on Monday.
The whole 2 days was fill with nothing but searching for great foods. Of course, on Sunday we didn't expect any good eating place to be open, since it's a holiday. But my dad remembered a steak house, called the East Grill Steak House, that rumour has it, the Pahang's Sultan once dine there. Since it's open, why not try it.
The restaurant is small in term of spaces, only a few available tables, if you come in late, you have to wait for a table. Another problem is the reservation table, although it's good to have reservation, but the restaurant really need to set some time time for the reserved patron to be there. Because even after 9pm, the reserved table still empty, and people are still coming in.
In term of the food, it is what you expect of a steak house. There are lamb, chicken, meat and fish, however, you can choose to have the Teriyaki Steak, or choose between the red snapper or salmon for the fish. You can't choose the side dish, which for me is a let down, because not everybody eat the coleslaw, or the corn. You can also choose a list from the chef's favourite, and another specialty from the restaurant is their homemade sauce, which include, black pepper sauce, BBQ sauce and mushroom sauce. The black pepper sauce is pretty much like its' name, too much black pepper, and too little of everything.
The price are pretty much in range of between 30-70 per person (including water), pretty decent if you decide to eat there once a month. But beware, for those with large appetite, this may not be a good place, unless of course, if you ordered the Mixed Barbeque, which include everything plus a jumbo size sausage.
That's for Sunday menu, on Monday, when we decided to return home, we must first find a place to have lunch, I don't why the first thought come to my dad's mind was Berserah's beach. It's a good thing too, because we had the opportunity to taste a famous place in Kuantan, call the Pak Su's Seafood.
My dad said, if you ever in Kuantan, you should really try this place. It is a seafood place, so don't expect anything crazy from this review. Of course you can expect the usual from a seafood place, however, it is their way of cooking them that is what we are looking for.
We ordered Fish cooked with asam, deep fried squid and western style prawn (basically butter prawn), and seafood tom yam, with mix vegetables. We also ordered the specialty, stuff crab, crab's meat mix with vegetables and flour, (not worth it). The fish was a let down, since the Asam overpower everything, you can't taste much of anything else. The best dish has to be the prawn, worth the money spend.
I can tell you everything you need to know, although I doubt you didn't know already how Asam or butter prawn taste like. The most important thing when going to a new dining place, is the taste of the food, and the money spend on it, is it worth it? It's a lil it expensive for my taste, RM150 for everything. The most worth thing eating was the prawn, Don't buy the stuff crab, RM7 for a crab so not worth it. The fish was also a let down, we should try the fish cook with ginger instead.
The drinks were expensive, and in small glass, so ordered a large jug and don't order any fruits drink, RM3 for a small glass, that has to be highway robbery.
So there you go, if you decided to try those places, why not tell me about it. Talk to you later. Adios.
