Discussion in the forums. Dropped into Star of Greece on the way home for brekky/lunch, started the day with a glass of Pol Roger… The oysters naturale with caviar and chives and stuff. Maybe I need more silverware to tackle this…? Salt and Szechuan Pepper Squid. Scallops and stuff – they’re actually quite larger than they look in the pic. Tuna sashimi with wasabi caviar and other stuff. Smoked eel in some kind of bacon broth I think. Didn’t really take any shots of the view, it’s fairly damn good – depending on where you get seated though. Only took...

Scooted along to Mapo on Gouger for my final night of “forced” steak eating. Love the atmosphere there, the staff are friendly, and all the food is completely excellent. Seafood platter. Salmon. My striploin. Then we went out for a cabaret show and some dancing, by the time I got home I had built up a hunger again so ducked into Hungry Jacks on the way for a dirty burger.

Went to the Leicester Hotel with the IT boys… Finally! They’ve been going to The Cremorne a lot lately, they are crap for steak, but I’ve been to Leicester before and always had good food there. This time was certainly no exception. On the menu it’s listed as a 500g ribeye, but this this is at least 600g, probably closer to 700g – an utterly beautiful piece of meat, and at $34 bucks an absolute bargain for this size and quality. None of the sauces on the menu particularly jumped out at me so I asked the waitress if they could make me a herb or garlic butter – she...

Cruised along to Yu Xi Elite on King William St, 9th floor above Quest Apartments. New Japanese joint – completely empty apart from us, would otherwise make for a great atmosphere I...

So this was kind of a big steak day… Had the day off and was quite hungry, I wasn’t going to be catching up with anyone today so I went and cut off a double-size steak from my ribeye slab, covered it in smoked pink salt flakes and pepper and herbs, and roasted the sucker. I then proceeded to devour the entire thing in one solid hit, never putting the utensils down… …except to take a photo. And then I went caveman on the bones. Then a few hours later a friend wanted to catch up for a drink, then after a drink she wanted to go to dinner, I told her I’d just eaten the...
