It's my third Jeffer Steak outlet.
First was at Silom Complex , followed by Major Cineplex. The franchise is hugely popular amongst Thais because of the pricing , which means it can be fairly difficult to get a table during peak dining period.
Today, the menu has expanded to include spaghetti soup noodles . With a 3 levels of spice indicator for you to pick from.
Am no Beef Pho fan. Absolutely hate the overdose of sharp , sweet, fresh herbs in that.
Much prefer the Malaysian Chinese version of Beef Soup Noodles where preserved salted vegies are the mainstay.
What they serve here leans more towards the Malaysian version ...as such it sits very well on the palatte with me.
Presented in a massive bowl , we laughed at the ridiculous size when it first arrived at our table. Compare the cola cup to the size of the bowl and I hope you get the idea.
Think they boiled the soup with either Mui Choy or local Kiam Chye , then topped it with sprigs of cilantro resulting in a hearty broth with many delightful pieces of meat to chew on.
Though we selected 2 chillies , this is still very hot, so if you aren't a spice fan, try level one.
Nice !
However, dissapointment repeated itself when it came to their grilled meat dishes. Since they cooked it to kingdom come , the last time we ordered medium to well, this time we requested medium.
My beef and chicken combo was ok. Sauce and butter rice saved the day ....
...but these 2 steak cuts turned out to be a flop of a bloodbath.
So not going to repeat this anymore.
With the exception of the soup noodles and the saving grace sauce , what we found were dismal results in a very busy outlet.
Obviously , when it comes to popular chain restaurants , some outlets , such as this , fail to impress and if you're a first timer, you will wonder what the fuss is all about.
Maybe we should head back to Silom. Or maybe we should just do noodles here, from now onwards .
