Penang-raised restaurateur Emily Chen opened her first steakhouse in the English city of Derby in 2008; nearly a dozen years later, the KL chapter of Emily's Steakhouse promises solid steaks in the city centre, a companion venue to another recently launched outpost in George Town.
Char-grilled beef is the speciality; the Australian Angus rib eye clocks in at RM88 for a 340-gram serving. We ordered ours blue, seared for 30 seconds for extra-rare primal pleasure, smooth and succulent. Steaks come with hearty servings of salad, peas and addictive house-made fries, but it's also worth adding on Emily's flagship onion rings, presented in chunky pyramids.
All in all, a worthwhile spot for steak, featuring fair prices for well-executed food, plus warm, obliging service in a cosy setting that blends a bit of Britain with a modicum of Malaysia for a winning combination.
