Been a bit busy with other stuff and don't have chance to update this blog, especially when I'm running 3 blogs at the same time. This time I will start with I'm Angus and after that I got couple more restaurants to put in the list.

I went there on Sunday to have a catch up with my former collage, it was a good day considering how the weather has been in the last couple of weeks and he's been saying that I need to try this steakhouse.

We arrived in the restaurant and sat in the terrace, the atmosphere was great very relaxing and comfy.

I ordered Blue Swimmer Crab Cake and Fillet Mignon served with garlic potato and onion marmalade.

The crab cake was nice, it full of crab meat. However, my crab cake was a bit oily. It was a refreshing starter to go with beer or white wine.

As for the main, it was tender and very juicy, the potato was good and very buttery which is great. I love the onion marmalade. It was a great dish the meat, sides and gravy work together really well and you can taste how good the meat is.

My friends ordered Giant Pork Ribs and Prime I'm Angus Fillet. Both of them were good. Though the pork ribs was a bit dry for me.

Price List:

• Blue Swimmer Crab Cake($25)
• Fillet Mignon($46)
• Giant Pork Ribs(full rack $39.50 or 1/2 portion $27.50)
• Prime Angus Fillet(160g $31 or 250g $42)

If you like to be close with your partner or friends this restaurant will provide the perfect settings for you. As the chairs and tables are really squeeze close to each other.

While the atmosphere and decorations won't impress you, they have a good variety of menu selection start from fried chicken, satay and soup. Majority of the foods are around $10 including rice and it's served halal food.

We ordered Fried Chicken with Chilli, Batagor, Chicken Soup(Soto Ayam) and Chicken Satay. The peanut sauce on Chicken Satay was good especially the sweet soy sauce. Fried Chicken just ok, just another Fried Chicken. the Batagor not as crispy as I would like to be. The Chicken soup was good it has a strong spice flavor.

As for desert we ordered Ice Durian, basically Durian top with shaved ice and condensed milk. Could be better with stronger flavor or more durian on the top as I can't taste the flavor on shaved ice.

It is a good place to try Indonesian food, however you can't expect too much from the atmosphere or service as both fail quite bad. If you are a big guy like me, you might have difficulty walking inside the restaurant.

There's nothing much to say in this place except that you need to go to this place and experience it yourself. Though the foods are only a simple meat in skewer, however the taste and atmosphere completely overcome the simplicity.

It's located in an alley below JR train line, it's a popular place for Japanese people to catch up after work and as you can see on the picture that there are couple of tourist as well.

The atmosphere is really encouraging you to relax and enjoy your foods with friends/family. The foods were light and almost like a snack to be enjoyed with a glass of beer. You can't have enough with one skewer, especially the Tsukune(picture: below left) it's a grill mince chicken.
