Datenite @ Grub By Ahong & Friends, Section 17

My partner noticed that of late I have been very stressed up and tired (and very grumpy hah!).

So to cheer his madam up, he suggested a night out on Friday. You choose where you want to go, he told me. Ah! That did perk me up a bit.

You know what I want?

This!

There is nothing that a Wagyu steak (some more got discount) cannot do to cheer up a carnivore.

So Friday evening, we set out from Damansara Uptown to Section 17, which is a short distance. I made reservations (via  TABLEAPP) for 6.30pm.

My partner engaged the Waze app but as usual my lahling (darling) is more clever than the app. When the app went "make a u-turn at jalan such and such", he pipes up "Mana tiok???" (that can't be right) and then takes a different route. Adoi ....

We arrived early, slightly past 6.oopm and we were lucky to get a parking spot right in front of the shophouse.

Grub's facade and interior has improved since my last visit back in 2017. We were assigned a table upstairs.

Ordering is via QR system and you may opt to pay online (credit card, e-wallet or online banking) or at the counter. I will share the full menu at the end of this post.

My eyes were very tired and I had a hard time trying to read the menu. So note to self : next time bring reading glasses.

So these were our orders.

For sharing, we had the Special Pani Puri.

Described as "crispy fried puff balls that's filled with potato, chickpeas, onions, spices and flavored water".

Very punchy Indian flavors, these crunchy balls were delicious!  I loved the mint chutney and I believe the "flavored water" is rasam.

Watermelon juice to share and it was a tad sweet for us.

This was my partner's Grilled Chicken Chop served with (what they call) a leaf salad, potato salad and Yorkshire Pudding.

He was very pleased with his order.

And now for the piece de resistance .....

The Wagyu Flank served with leaf salad, potato salad and mustard.

It was cooked beautifully to medium rare.

It was everything I had hoped for but I have to be honest - the meat was chewy due to connective tissue. But I am all right with that because connective tissue = collagen, good for the skin. I will be back for other cuts of steak.

I also ordered a side of potato salad, more for my partner because he is a carb man. I liked the chunky potatoes but the mayonnaise was not to my liking. 

It was a very enjoyable dinner and I told my partner that we should revisit and he happily agreed.

As promised, I share the menu below. 

You can scan the QR or look at the screenshot menu below.

Well, since Grub serves a variety of steaks (and tomahawks!) I will be back!

This weekend is a long weekend and I shall free my mind and make as if I am a retired person - gardening and Netflix! Happy holidays everyone!
