The “view” at The View March 7, 2007

Posted by The Giddy Tiger in : Close to Heart & Home, Drooling & Cooking , trackback

My colleagues and I went for an (all-paid-for) team lunch at The View at the Equatorial today. It’s our all-time popular place to go to. Everytime there is a visitor, go to The View. Whenever someone is due to give a treat, go to The View. In fact, when we reached the place, the waiter even recognized my boss.

Anyways, I just realized that I did not have any food pictures from The View from previous visits (too excited about the food, din even think of taking photos). This time round, a lot of people brought along their canggih phones and cameras, so I joined in the crowd.

I ordered the ribeye steak with bearnaise sauce, because as I recall from my previous visit, it was done to absolute perfection. Medium, just the way I like it. Today, I was mortified. My steak came overcooked and well done. So much for perfection. :roll:

Luckily the appetizers and dessert made up for the lousy entree. BURP!

Too bad ’bout the steak. How come never send back and insist you want a replacement? Knowing you…:)

The Giddy Tiger says: Hmmm….dunno why lo. Should have ordered the king cod instead. Anyway, I sent EQ a note of dissatisfaction already. Dunno how they are going to respond.

Wow, nice cakes! Too bad the food’s lousy, if not, I’d go and try.

The Giddy Tiger says: The food standard has sadly deteriorated since I first went there. Overpriced and overrated.

When i was there last, i enjoyed the starters buffet more than the main course too.

The Giddy Tiger says: Yeah, I love the cheese cake, creme brulee and appetizers :)

You can take your steak medium cooked?

My tummy cannot tolerate that. Always order mine well-done or medium-well.
But then, once The Olive waiter told me he never heard of medium-well….

Have not try the steak at The View though, would you recommend it?

The Giddy Tiger says: YES. Me eat meat… Meat GOOD. Steak at The View? After yesterday’s episode - downright not recommended.

Penang.. oic.. so long never go Penang. I usually go Equatorial in Bangi Putrajaya.

The Giddy Tiger says: *Usually*? Wah how often is *usually*? … do they also have The View there?
