I am definitely outdated. I didn’t know Hotel Regent is the old Intercontinental until my friends kept talking about The Steak House. Great! That means we can finally go to the legendary THE Steak House again! Time flies! My last visit was in 2013. Still remember there’s construction going on at the facade and it blocked out the harbour view. Arrived early when the restaurant was empty. Greeted by warm, lovely staffs.

Time flies! My last visit was in 2013. Still remember there’s construction going on at the facade and it blocked out the harbour view.
Arrived early when the restaurant was empty. Greeted by warm, lovely staffs. Appreciate they know the design of the chair is a bit big so they offer a cushion for the ladies for our back.
Love the view of the harbour. Beautiful spot for the sunset.
Before we placed our orders, we checked the meat first! They also gave us a tour to show us the salad bar.
Compared to the salad bar in the past, seems like they have minimized the variations but all looks very fresh.
For the meat shelf, it’s just so attractive and the meat is displayed decently. Made us even more difficult to make our decisions.
Thumbs up to the sourdough. Serving on a warm pad to keep it warm.
Beef Tenderloin Tartare 8oz $520
Served with free range egg yolk, condiments.
My friend is a big fans of beef tartare. We were joking he’d properly take 6oz out of it. He definitely approved this tartare as he wanted to order another one. We stopped him of course as we had already ordered a lot of dishes.
King Crab Cake, Tartar sauce, lemon $260
Salute to the king crab and the chef! This is one of the best crab cake I’ve ever had. You can taste the sweetness and how fresh the King crab is. I can hear Gordon Ramsey’s yelling “Never make crab cake with beautiful fresh crab!”. I understand his point. But using high quality fresh crab for crab cake is definitely elevating the dish to another level.
And yes, we have encored another portion.
Grilled octopus, tomato chutney, picked mustard seeds $300
Interesting presentation with chips. Octopus is tender and grilled perfectly.
Bone marrow, Uni, parsley, garlic, shallots, capers, yuzu kosho $250
An indulgent bite of uni together with bone marrow. Yuzu levels down the heaviness and oily sensation of the bone marrow. I do enjoy this version of bone marrow.
Uruguayan Asado Angus Beef 4oz, chimichurri sauce, crispy onion $400
We are very curios about the Uruguayan but not adventurous enough to order a big Uruguayan steak. This is a good choice for us to small portion.
The beef flavour is very tense and not much fat in it. It’s a decent dish but Uruguayan is not on my my favourite steak list.
Choose our weapon before the star arrives. Love how sharp the knives are.
Here it comes! We picked the T-Bone from the meat shelf which is around $4000. It’s from Mayura Farm in Australia. It’s full blooded wagyu. Meaning the whole family is from wagyu but they are raised in Australia but not in Japan. And yes, they are fed with chocolate.
I first thought strip part would be leaner than the tenderloin. Tenderloin part is perfect! Definitely one of the best I had. Strip part for me is too fat so I had one and I already felt I had enough. Whole steak grilled perfectly tho. Of course there’s different salts and condiments you can go with.
For sides, we have ordered potatoes au gratin $98, and sautéed mushroom $98.
Au Gratin is soso. Potatoes were a bit under. Mushrooms are great!
Baked Alaska $450
Not sure who ok earth ordered this baked alaska. Definitely add a bit drama to the dinner but it’s not my choice of dessert always. My friends love it but I just don’t enjoy the liquor with cakes. Just not my thing.
After a few bottles and lots of laughters, time to go home with a big belly, and a happy, satisfying mood.
