The Hog’s Breath Café, Northbridge
THE PLACE
This is my favorite steak place in town. I’ve been “steak-ing” out in Perth, but Hog’s is still the best (so far)!
I love Hog’s food and the very funky environment. It is very Texas (?), very rugged, yet very funny. This is part of the Café, you can judge it yourself. =)
When I mean funny, I refer to the toilet signs. Previously, they only show the words “sows” and “boars”; the words of Men and Ladies were not used until recently. I guess there must be some people walk into the wrong place. =P
THE MENU
Everyone ordered an individual main course. Oh well, this is not Chinese restaurant, we don’t share food. Oh well, I am (actually) a bit selfish to share my piece of steak. =)
We ordered 2 appetizers—Bruschetta and Crumbed Camemert. They were very yummie. Sometimes you might be thinking is not worth it to pay bloody ten bucks for bread and tomato, but in this case, I can assure you the money is worth more than any sensational flavor you can find to satisfy your taste butts.
This is Crumbed Camemert- crunchy potato skin stuffed with lightly fried bacon topped with mayo, cream and melted cheese.
Me, Kuan Vui and Jackson ordered the special of the day– Reef Ranger Prime Rib with Calamari Rings. I was told by a friend of mine we are not supposed to mix seafood and land-food in a course; however, I can assure you this combination is absolutely fabulous!
KC and Grace had chicken. I did not know they don’t eat beef. Strangely enough when I told them we were going for steak dinner, they just happily come with everybody, but never mention they are beef-free mammals. =)
Kian Seng ordered El Grande Prime Rib. He loves the creamy salsa cheese sauce topping, I guess. I have seen him eating this flavor for years since we went to Hog’s.
I bet your saliva is dripping like spring water or Taiping waterfall or perhaps balai bomba tap water by now. I bet you must be thinking we are a bunch of crazy people who over-love our food. I bet you must me thinking we are psycho oversea students who spend dad’s money like no body business which in fact we are NOT. I bet you must be guessing why I am suddenly become so weird? =)
However, however, however, I bet you never thought why we all suddenly have itchy back go for steak dinner and why we still come out for succulent steak 2 days before the big test. WHY?
Because…. Today is actually Kian Seng’s birthday =)
Happy Birthday, ney!
Young lady, Hog’s is no way close to Texan. For one thing Texas is beef country, plus this is way too refine. but hey, good food and good friends, who’s complaining.
yeah Ed, i know what you mean. I tell you what, whatever we have in Down Under,all the quality also down down one. =) So, dont come to Aus, just read, that will do. =) LOL
Happy Belated Birthday to Kian Seng
