Strip House by Harlan Goldstein is an American steakhouse located amidst the lustrous Lang Kwai Fang. With a sexual name, Strip House creates a flirty ambiance for its diners.
Starting with a red luminous light with "Strip House by Harlan Goldstein" on a red wall, a red and black table setting with sex symbol Marilyn Monroe cushion, black and white posters with nudity, bold sexy red lips wallpaper at the washroom etc. Even the menu and drink list plays with flirty words like Sickest Crabcakes in the World or "Kick Ass" Mac and cheese or Panty Dropper. Not to mention they play Frank Sinatra, my favourite jazz singer on earth. It already sounds fun dining at Strip House.
Each table is given an enormous garlic house bread, freshly baked from the Kitchen. The bread was buttery, soft and spongy! The garlic taste was quite weak though.
Beef TartareThe beef tartare is one of the best that I have ever tasted. The beef tartare was chopped in perfect size, It was spicy and flavourful. I prefer spicy over sweet for beef tartare.
The Sickest Crabcake
The Crabcake was quite nice too! It tasted fresh with loads of crab meats in it. it was creamy and again quite spicy in taste.
The Jumbo ShrimpThe Jumbo Shrimp is truly jumbo in size. It was fresh and sweet. The salad within the cup was good to pair with the shrimp.
The Pork BellyWhen I read pork belly, I was not assuming bacon. I got disappointed and I do not like the dish. The bacon was thickly slice but was very hard in texture.
Rib eyeI had my rib eye cooked in medium rare and The Strip House managed it perfectly. The rib eye was juicy and flavourful but did not have the tender texture I was looking for. So I was only 50% contented about this. The portion was generous, we almost couldn't finished it.
Banana frittersThis is a western version of a famous Shanghainese dessert, but this is much more crispy and dense. The vanilla cream was a great pair with the fritters. I really love this dessert, I totally cleared the plate.
Banofee pieThe banofee pie was moist to taste, pretty average dish.
