Ave Maria!!

Kinda been busy downloading apps for my new toy.. First I would like to apologise to all IPhone Application Developers.. I promise you i will pay for all my downloads once i can afford to.. but for now.. im truly sorry and grateful for ur hard work which i have filled my IPhone 3Gs with.. hehe.. more on that later.. but for now Im going to introduce one of my favourite places to go when i have a craving for a chunk of juicy beef..

Maria’s Cafe in Damansara Perdana.. there have been many nice food places in this area but most of them seem to have closed down.. not sure why but maybe they did not really appeal to the crowd in the area which is predominantly office workers.. nice places like Eagles Nest have all closed down recently.. Im really hoping that Maria’s Cafe does not suffer the same fate but judging from the ambience and food.. its moving in the right direction..

On to the food..

First up we ordered a French Onion Soup.. it was oookay i guess.. nothing special.. will not order it again.. the mushroom soup we ordered the last time we were here was quite nice so give that a try when you visit..

Yummy Yummy Yan Yan..:)

Next up were the mains.. The lady ordered her favourite.. Roast Leg of Lamb

Nicely cooked and a very generous serving too.. The meat was nice and tender and the gravy wasn’t too salty or overpowering.. cant remember the exact price but it was around rm25 for this.. reasonable pricing..

I on the other hand come to this place for 2 reasons..

1st..Perfect Grilled Rib Eye Steak

Damn.. just writing about it now is making me hungry.. The steak does not come with any sauce which is how i like it.. but it comes with a small cut of garlic & herb butter which goes really well with the meat.. I like my steaks medium well and Maria’s does it to perfection.. pink in the middle but without any blood running out.. The meat is really tender and the outside is nicely charred without being burnt.. at rm49.90 its something i would gladly pay for to satisfy my meat cravings..

Now for the second reason i come here..

Heavenly Tiramisu

Warm Moist Chocolate Cake

The desserts here are absolutely to-die-for.. We ordered the 2 above desserts and once we were done i wanted to ‘ta-pao’ some home cause they were just so sooooo delicious..

The tiramisu here tastes really authentic, the layer of cream is just right and the biscuit base has a nice hint of rum to it which makes it delicious!! A definite must try..

The chocolate cake is equally divine.. it comes with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream which provides a contrast to the warm cake.. not too sweet and its very moist but yet it isn’t too rich either.. one of the best chocolate cakes i’ve eaten..

Empty plates..hehe

The desserts were priced at around rm12 for tiramisu and rm8 for the cake if im not mistaken.. the bill came up to rm120 for the 2 of us but it was well worth it.. they serve Wagyu Beef steak here which is priced at rm45 per 100gms which would mean about rm120 per steak.. hmm maybe i’ll try it in the future.. once im richer.. haha..

Maria’s Cafe is located above the german bistro in damansara perdana.. turning in from the LDP, drive straight till you see a citibank on your right.. its located on the 1st floor in the same building.. im sure if it was located in a more strategic place, Maria’s Cafe would be much better known now..  

P.S.: there’s a girl at the counter who is really cute.. d 3rd reason i go back there.. haha..kidding kidding..
