just minishorts.

We had a good filling up session tonight. You know that place in Taipan (USJ 10)? We did a double date thingy: April and her boy boy, me and my boy boy, decided to turn complete carnivores for the night. We went to this new restaurant called Meatyhouse.

The star attraction of this quaint little place is PORK cooked the Western way, something you can't get very much of in this country. The other two places I know of in the Klang Valley would be Eurodeli and Mr Ho's Fine Foods, the later being the most expensive of the three. I've not been to Eurodeli yet, but will do soon–SL and me are fervent meat eaters.

That said, the food here was quite good-lah, although the service is rather appalling (the food comes out very slowly, and if you arrive after 6.45pm you'll probably have to spend at least an hour waiting for an empty table). I have to say quite good because there aren't many like places to compare Meatyhouse to.

April had the Ham and Bacon Spaghetti. This one tastes like Bolognese without the cheese, well we did ask for cheese and it came, less than a teaspoon of it, in a chinese-style soya sauce dish.

Hann Yong had the Pork Chop, looks quite fatty yeah, but I think it was quite good as the plate was literally licked clean.

SL had his English Oxford Sausages, which tasted like pork…. These were okay, okay only.

I had the signature dish, the German Pork Knuckle, and at RM29.80, this was HUGE. It was, like Siew Yoke (Roasted Pork), but slightly on the salty side, and very dry. The sauce wasn't enough to drench the meat to my liking, and even this was very salty.

Of course I can't finish the thing, but I've my very own DBKL in SL, so we didn't waste it. 'Cept the poor dude was complaining that his dish resembled a magic pitless plate, 'How come the more I eat, the more food I have?'

In the end all that was left was the huge bone.

Okay if you want to go, it's along Jalan USJ 10/1D, on the same row as The Chicken Rice Shop, just next to Pizza n Satay. If you've going you need to bring more cash–the place doesn't take Credit Cards just yet. And go earlier, it opens for lunch from 12 noon, and for dinner from 6pm. SL and me arrived at 6.30pm and were just lucky enough to take on the last empty table.
