Dinner @ Mr. Steak House




We decided to go out tonight for dinner, and it became more compelling since our neighbor was holding a party and their music was blaring away. I do not mind neighbors wanting to hold gatherings or parties during the night, but if you want to play music, please be considerate of your neighbors, some of us have small children. Not only was their music played very very loud, their invitees far exceeded the seats available. It would have been much better and more comfortable if they were to just rent a hall.
Back to our dinner, we arrived there around 9-ish at Mr. Steak House, it was a full house. My husband had to pull an empty table and look for chairs because there were no available tables around. A waitress gave us the menu, I did not have an opportunity to review them as my husband had called the waiter to give our orders. He was afraid we might get our food late as there were so many people. While waiting for our food and drinks, there was a small two-man band singing some songs, they were not too bad.

Our food came a few minutes later, and considering the crowd, their service was not too bad. The taste … it was ok. What surprised us were the portions, we expected it to be smaller because of the price, but it was not, to our relief. I ordered the Chicken Golden Blue, I guess it was an attempt to be similar to Chicken Cordon Blue, it was not too bad, but I prefer Secret Recipe’s better. My cousin ordered the Sizzling Chicken, he said it was “terbaik”! My friends who had the chicken chop said everything was delicious except for the batter, it was too sweet. Now everyone’s a critique

Overall, I enjoyed my dinner, it is without a doubt why many people came to eat here. It was truly value for money.

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1teaspoon cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk( room temperature)

  • 1 teaspoon white distilled vinegar

  • crushed pecans for garnish
cream cheese frosting

  • 1 pound cream cheese, softned
  • 4 cups sited confectioners sugar
  • 2 stick unsalted butter (1 cup), softned
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350  degrees F. lighttly oil and flour three 9 by 1 1/2 inch round cake pans.

In large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder. in another large bowl, whisk together the oil, buttermilk, eggs, food colouring, vinegar and vanilla extract.

Using a standing mixer, mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients untill just combined and a smooth batter is formed.

Divide the cake batter evenly among the prepared cake pans. Place the pans in the oven evenly spaced apart. Bake, rotating the pans halfway through to the cooking, until the cake pulls away from the side of the pans, and a toothpick inserted in the centre of the cakes comes out clean, about 30 minutes.

Remove the cakes from the oven and run a knife around the edges to the loosen them from the sides of the pans. One at a time, invert the cakes onto a plate and then re-invert them onto cooling rack, rounded-sides up. Let cool completely. 

Frost the cake. Place 1 layer, rounded-side down, in the middle of a rotating cake stand. Using a palette knife or offset spatula spread some of the Cream Cheese Frosting over the top of the cake. (Spread enough frosting to make a 1/4 to 1/2 inch layer). Carefully set another layer on top, rounded-side down, and repeat. Top with the remaining layer and cover the entire cake with the remaining frosting. Sprinkle the top with the pecans.


Cream Cheese Frosting :
In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or with a hand-held electric mixer in a larger bowl, mixed the cream cheese, sugar, and butter on low speed until incorporated. Increase the speed to high, and mix until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. (Occasionally turn the mixer off, and scrape the down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula).

Reduce the speed of the mixer to low, at the vanilla, raise the speed to high and mix briefly until fluffy (scrape down the bowl occasionally). Store in the refrigerator until somewhat stiff, before using. Maybe stored in the refrigerator for 3 days.
