Grill Out @ Sunset way

October's food appreciation session was recommended by mei. She told us that she tried out a great place at sunset way with affordable quality steaks! She tried out the place after watching it on the makansutra program on tv!

Sunset way is almost like any ordinary hdb neighbourhood except its full of many pretty exciting restaurents! Its near where daily scoop is! :) (My fav ice cream place) The restaurent is open air. Thank goodness it only started getting warmer towards the end of the night.

As usual, we were early and got to wait for the rest to arrive. We ordered the clams to start with! I was really excited over the clams because it came highly recommended from Mei.

The complimentary bread! We were so looking forward for its garlic bread which we saw on some1's blog! but we were told they ran out and so we have buns. It wasnt that bad. It's jus that we were disappointed. Hees!

When the rest arrives, we ordered another round of clams and mussels. We were told we could have a mixture of clams and mussels. So we ordered two orders of mixed clams & mussels, 1 cooked in garlic and white wine.. the other in chilli.

I love the chilli one too! Everyone else had their own preference. I am greedy. I love both! (next time, i must bring a spotlight with me for dinner. blur pics!!)

My Black angus tenderloin! 200g for 30 over bucks! it was pretty good. Better than the kobe i feel which is twice the price! BC and I ordered different steaks so that we could try both out!
I love the baby potatoes and side veggies! fried fragrantly with garlic!! 1 of the rare times i finish all my side veggies!

BC's US kobe beef. Too soft for my liking. Soft because its marbled with fats. I dunno.. I jus felt mine was better and a much better deal. 180g at 60 over bucks

We had dessert too! (too lazy to take pics by then) We tried their fried milk which is bascally like milk pudding/cake and panfried with some added spice. I guess most of us aint ready to accept it. It was pretty neglected. We also had a durian cake, coffee cake, chocolate lava cake and a blueberry cheesecake. All were pretty normal we felt.

However, their service was really good. The young waitress was professional and friendly. Even if we were the last one to leave (as usual), they were happily chatting at a side with no intentions to chase us away. Also, when we commented abt the kobe beef not to our liking, i think the manager/boss even came to chat with us and toked to us about the species of cows and cutting of beef. We really felt comfortable with their service.

I wun mind going back there again... i love the fresh clammies!!! We are sticking to jus the black angus next time round. I guess US kobe beef is jus not something I enjoy. :)
