Jake’s Charbroil Steaks

This restaurant used to be a family favorite, in fact we used to visit every year for my Mom’s birthday until they started sending us birthday cards every year. That’s how much the joint values family and loyalty of their patrons. This is the place to be for carnivores as they serve one of the most kick ass steaks in town. And if you think that means mediocre cuts of meat, you’re wrong. They serve 3 varieties of meat — Wagyu, Black Angus and Grain Fed from Australia. They also have lamb cutlets which we had that night charbroiled and topped with an herb sauce with parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme for under RM80. The Australian Grain Fed Striploin was tender served with black pepper sauce — simple fare for RM 55.
What sets it apart from other steakhouses is that others marinate their meat to death before broiling but Jake’s has a light hand on marinade due to the fact that they want their customers to taste the freshness of their meat and the natural juices that oozes out while it cooks. They also serve seafood and a Lobster Thermidor which we have yet to try but they do serve their version of fish and chips that is actually charbroiled fish fillet served with fries and salad. I would say it’s definitely healthier than the fried variety for under RM 30.
If you’re going to have a starter, I would say the oxtail is a good recommendation. Their famous dessert is the chocolate fudge brownie topped with melting ice cream, the perfect warm and cold combination to end the heaby meaty meal.
