Hog’s Breathe Cafe

As promised, my old blog review on another steak joint…

ok, after hearing so much bout tis place, i decided to check it out yesterday. i've seen it in the past in aus but din managed to try the local wan. it's located at chijmes which is quite a nice spot cuz of all the bars and restaurants. the jap restaurant is damn good but tats for another review.

for the place, it looks pretty much like the steak joints in aus and like the outback steak houses in the states. u know those nice steak house decor and old pictures. we were seated in this cute place call the pig pen with many pig pictures. haha… the waitress tat served us was cute. hehe… think name is rachel or something.

ok, let's dive straight into the food. i ordered the tex prime cut steak with bbq sauce while my fren ordered the blackened steak. the wait time was acceptable i guess cuz there were quite a number of ppl. i tot it was long only cuz i was damn hungry. =p anyway, when it came i immediately regretted my decision cuz the bbq sauce smell was very strong and sweet smelling. i was afraid it would cover the taste of the steak. anywayz, my fren and i shared 1/2 of our steak each. i ordered medium while my fren order medium to well. i hv to say, the steak is VERY good. it's very tender! i am impressed. the blackened seasoning one was better in my opinion but tats just cuz i dun like too much bbq sauce. nonetheless, the bbq sauce one wasn't tat bad either.

now, for the sides i had baked potato. tis wasn't done very well cuz it wasn't piping hot the way i liked it. and no bacon bits. sorry, sucker for tat. the veges though were good. i even liked the broccoli which is rare.
