The moment it was opened, the kids and I briskly walked over to try it out. Nujum Cafe promoted itself as a place that serves Western cuisine, and I was craving a huge chunk of meat. I would say that the price range is about Medium. It is not as pricey as the high end places like Chef Wan. Nor is it priced like the regular family bistro like Mr SteakHouse.

On our first visit there, I ordered a rib-eye. My kids had the familiar spaghetti and macaroni. We shared a Tiramisu Crepe and 2 bottled sodas from Haus Boom. It tasted like those Cola candies. My steak was just shy of RM100, and my kids’ dishes were roughly in mid RM20s.

The rib-eye was prepared quite well. It was not tough to chew.

Hence, during my subsequent visit there with my husband, I ordered a Sirloin steak. However, that second time around, the meat did not taste as good. Maybe it was a different chef. The tiramisu crepe still tasted fabulous, but I really hoped that they would remove the doily paper underneath the crepe.

Overall, Nujum Cafe provides good food. The atmosphere is also Instagrammable, which is a must nowadays. I look forward to many more meals afterwards.

Kay’s Steak and Lobster – Conezion

I am always on the lookout for a great steak dinner. My personal choice of doneness – medium rare.

To be safe, I made my dinner reservation on the website. It would be disheartening if I couldn’t get a table after the enthusiastic online ‘research’ I did online for reviews of the place. This eatery serves not only steak but also huge lobsters and their best seller – the Wellington dish. Turns out you need to pre-order it one day before but I was pretty clear on what I wanted.

A steak.

My reservation was confirmed almost immediately and they even sent me a WhatsApp message an hour before the chosen time to remind me of it. The restaurant is within walking distance from Sovotel and is certified as HALAL. Took me less than 3 minutes to walk there.

I chose the Stanbroke Black Angus Ribeye (250g) with the Au Poivre sauce, a creme brulee and a COKE to wash it all down. The waitress needed to speak louder cause I honestly don’t know why these girls (including the Sovotel lady) were so soft while taking the order. Is it a Gen Z thing? I don’t think so.

I really enjoyed my meal because not only it was aesthetically pleasing but the taste was just luscious and delectable. The meat was prepared well and timely. It was a dinner with mindfulness as I savoured every single bite and chewed on my meal properly.

The whole dinner cost me RM233.15. They even put my receipt in a nice sleeve. I would definitely come here again if I am in this part of town in the future. Perhaps the lobster on my next visit.
