Monte's @ BSC & D'Empire Brasserie @ Solaris

In the mood for beef? Here are two options: first, Monte's, a longtime haunt that's had a face-lift.

Ye olde favorite: carpetbag steak, nicely stuffed with two juicy oysters.

Beef ribs, perhaps tougher than expected but still a thrill for flesh-seeking carnivores.

And naturally, to pair with the meat: South African red wine, very pleasant to drink.

Next up, D'Empire Brasserie, also a true survivor, staying alive in Solaris Mont Kiara.

Angus rib-eye, thankfully medium-rare as requested (not something to be taken for granted).

Red wine risotto. Tastes more like a simple tomato risotto somehow.

Apple crumble and a very nice choc brownie, both with vanilla ice cream, to end an OK meal.
