Located in K11 with close MTR access, Steak World Meats is a convenient place for a quick lunch. Having read the good reviews online, the 3 of us decided to stop by and try it out with the inexpensive restaurant week lunch menu ($158 +10%).
We had the Pan-fried blue swimmer crab cake with spiced chutney, micro salad, and crustacean aioli as appetizer.
Pan-fried crab cake
The crab cake was nicely pan-fried that gave a nice crispy outer skin, with hearty yet non-overwhelming inner stuffing. Shreds of crab meat were visible and tasted as such (instead of a mushy ball filled with potato).
For main course, 2 of us had the Chef’s choice cut of the day 7 oz dry aged, char-grilled steak with potato gratin, honey mustard rocket leaves, shallot and red wine jus. The steak was cooked perfectly to medium as I had wanted and had a nice sear that kept the beef juice intact. It was also tender but not fatty. Highlight of the dish, however, was the wonderful mustard! Perfectly pungent and sharp that brought out the flavor of beef. I hope it wasn't homemade so I can try and find out what brand it is
Dry-aged 7oz steak
1 of us had the Wagyu rump steak M5+, with garlic and rosemary potatoes, salsa Verdi. I personall found that a bit too fatty and oily, but if you're looking for extreme tenderness, that's probably the steak you would like.
We all had the Lemon and kaffier lime tart with hot mint salad for dessert. Lemon had a nice balance of sweetness and sourness, and it was perfect with a cup of black coffee. The hot mint salad, or a mixture of tiny pieces of fruits, was unnecessary, however, as they weren't tasty (looked like canned fruits) and didn't add anything to the lime tart.
Although it was lunch hour with a full house, tables were spaced out with minimal noise. A nice place for family gathering or business lunch.
