Urulu @ Duxton Hill

Needed a place for a little celebration... asked several friend for place recommendation... a friend suggested a place he read from today's paper suggesting places with HSBC discounts. Urulu was having a 1-for-1 discount for it set meals and the newspaer recommended the place for its wondrous steaks.

It was pretty hard to get a carpak at duxton hill. So little lots but so many pubs and restaurent at the area. Thank goodness we were there early. We waited for haf an hour till we got a lot. For those willing to spare with $5, they have valet parking there.

The restaurent looks pretty small from the main entrance but they seem to have a bigger place where u can enter from the back of the restaurent. Din get to explore it cause we were sitting pretty near the entrance.

The 1 for 1 promotion is really worth it. But there were limited choices for the set dinners. We were kinda in the mood for steaks so we decided to forgo the 1 for 1 promotion. How wasteful are we?

They had wagyu beef but they cost like around $100 for like 200g of wagyu beef. We are on a tight string so we opted out.

This was what we had...

A mushroom soup to share. Abit too creamy for my taste. but still quite quality soup.

My sirloin. Each main comes with 2 side dishes. I took wild mushrooms and truffle mashed potatoes. Love the mash. At first thot it looks pathetic but i understand why. Cause its really creamy.. too much of it makes one kinda sick. the portion was just nice then. The wild mushrooms really contains all sorts of wild mushrooms. Its only then i realise i dun love ALL kind of mushrooms.. ate 1 a bit too bitter, and another made me kinda sick. not sure if its the way they cooked it or the mushroom itself.

Tried to take a juicy delicious sauce but because of bad lightning and shaking hand. Failed! Must b too eager to attack on my steak! Not bad. Quite tender and juicy. Love it with the mustard!

BC had a ribeye with wine sauce which i thot made his steak pretty yummy! He took wild mushrooms and wedges as sides he really loved the wedges. they were really crispy on the outside and soft on the inside kind.

And to end the night, a little chocolate cake to sweeten our tooth! Ohh.. it was really good!! love it!!!! So creamy kinda like ice cream! Oh! I went to TCC recently.. I saw that they have a similar cake i think! but its cut into strips and served with berries too! wonder if its the same. hees!

Overall, think the food was pretty good but there's nothing to make us feel like going back another time. Unless we are going back for its 1-for-1 promotion - quality food at a good price then. We did have a discout though. 15% from HSBC. So the night end pretty well for us too i guess..

Thanks BC for the treat once again!
