jack’s place fat steaks
I was feeling kind of down, what with the haze and some recent personal events that I decided I should have something nice to eat today. Jaime asked me to join her in KL but I wasn’t feeling up to painting the town red, so I grabbed KY and Carol and we had dinner at Jack’s Place in 1U.
Starbucks was nearby, so I just popped in and grabbed a Coffee Jelly Frappucino.
It’s all Jaime’s fault - she introduced it to me and now I’m hooked! But you know the thing about Starbucks coffee is that it makes your pee smell of coffee as well. It’s not like seriously unpleasant, it just smells of coffee. Not like I intentionally go smell my pee, but I can’t help it lah since I’m in the same toilet, aren’t I? And I don’t get this smell with any other coffee, just Starbucks coffee. Weird, right?
Ermm.. since this is about food, I will try not to gross you out. But think about it and if you have similar experiences, let me know!
Anyway our food arrived…
This is button mushrooms stuffed with lobster and crab meat, covered in a light layer of cheese, all baked together-gether (RM18). Yummy!
The garlic bread on the side came with our soup. Definitely one of the better garlic breads I’ve had - a generous mix of butter and garlic, just nice. I had soup of the day (RM5) which was leek and potato, quite nice though the leek wasn’t very noticable. KY and Carol had cream of shitake mushroom soup or something like that; B-O-R-I-N-G! But not bad.
But you can see that Carol and KY were very excited like small kids like that. Sometimes you just can’t bring them out anywhere…. *sigh*
KY and I had the filet mignon (RM38.90 or something like that), it’s a reasonable sized slab of meat with a piece of beef bacon, a fat baked potato and some vege - one broccoli stem, 5 carrot slices and a couple slices of onion.
Both of us had it medium rare. Tender and juicy!
Carol had the Jack’s special steak, medium. No photos ‘coz it looked rather the same, just less bloody.
Of course I ate EVERYTHING!
Nothing better than food therapy.
H2G2 fans would appreciate this little scene we made up in honour of ‘The Restaurant at the End of the Universe’.
Spot the cow!
So if you were at 1u on Friday and you passed by these three people posing in front of the Jack’s Place signboard, no we are not n00bs from outer space. We aren’t suaku either.

i drink whatever kinda coffee, my pee will smell of coffee. it is normal i guess.
the jelly in the coffee makes the drink a fav of mine too. but like you sad, it makes your pee smell like coffee. which sometimes irks me off cause the smell is so repulsive… i don’t know. i just hate my pee smelling like some coffeee. makes me wonder how good my kidneys are. damn… also, i’m addicted to starbucks. but it’s just too expensive of a hobby for student like me.
but.. i’ve got 50% discount coupons until the end of december this year. i think there’s 10 left.
question : what’s jack’s place with out jack?
Stabucks SUCKS! Starbucks SUCKS! ok, their free Wi-Fi is good, but their COFFEE SUCKS!
*yummy*
I love Starbucks. It will get me hooked as well. Lols.
And all the photos looked cool. Especially the foods.
Cheers!!!
All coffees do that, especially Ipoh Old Town White Coffee, in my case.
Must. Try. Novelty. Coffee. Drinks. Argh.
Coffee smells like pee … doesn’t it?
I find eating lots of rice cakes makes my pee smell like .. rice cakes!
Now I know what KY means when he says he makes a good steak!
I guess Carol didn’t eat him, as she only likes to eat things which don’t want to be eaten.
Your steak looks like it might still have been alive! Yeah yeah! i know, cook sthink it is more of a challenge for thme to just sear the outside of the steak rather than cok it all the way through, dispite what Doctors tell them to do.
Steak. Yum.
me no likey beef =P
so gross the medium raw thingy.. urgh =P
oh yeah petai makes your pee more smellier what? =P
Aiya! You never hear of Mad Cow Disease? In Canada where I live now, nobody eats beef lah! Hope you cow is intelligent not gila lah!

Who tried??? Any comment?
Hi Suanie, we went there on Friday after reading about it in your blog. Love the steaks. I’ve blogged about it and added your site as a link. Thanks so much.
[…] The first time (and incidentally, the last time) I went to Jack’s Place was sometimes in 2005. The reason it took me so long for this second visit was not the lack of quality in their food during the first visit, but rather my general absence from the malls in weekends since working at KLCC. Why head to the mall during weekends when I am walking in one every on single working day? Anyway… I shall not digress […]
