Read moreSUPER DELICIOUS STEAK, for Bandung standard, especially when combined with their choice of butter. The steak was as good as its quality (ordered everything above MB 6) and it didnt disappoint.
Altho they did have a very unhygienic SOP when serving cooked meat. This is a basic standard knowledge and common practice every steak house should know, which they intentionally ignored: never serve cooked steak on the same board u use for raw steak. They almost served cooked steak on the board they previously used to serve raw steak if i didnt say anything. They did cover it with a thin baking paper beforehand and took it out after, but i doubt that does anything since to remove any bacteria coming from raw meat u actually have to wash it with hot soapy water. Idk if a thin baking paper can separate bacteria from the raw steak to the board. Should be common knowledge for a steakhouse, but apparently not for them.
I complained and asked them to switch the board, but they talked back saying that they've covered it with paper anyway (and almost didnt want to switch) but i was super pregnant so i guess that gave them a push to change the board as they didnt wanna risk anything. TBH this is unsafe even for non-pregnant people! This is such a basic knowledge they should know but purposely ignored, which makes me think of what other unprofessional and unhygienic protocol they do in the kitchen that we dont know? Tbh most people in Indonesia (or bsndung particularly) wouldnt care about this, but i think for the price of the steak (we ordered everything above 700rb/steak and there were 9 of us), u cant ignore this very basic thing.
Using clean boards to serve cooked steak isnt even a hassle... Just bring the same number of clean boards as the number of steak we ordered and we're good to go.
Although other than that, the steak was greattt. I LOVE steak and their steak was above standard, even better than other steakhouses in Jakarta. Other minor complaint i may have is only that they serve the sides too early (about 10 minutes eaelier than the steak, which still need to cook in the grill for an extta 5-10 minutes) and theyre all cold once the...
