I had heard of the name Highway Cafe for so many years, but I had no intention to visit the restaurant because of the name, Highway Cafe.The name sounds so cacat to me, it sounds as if it is running by a few youngsters who haven't had their pubic fully grown. You know, those young people who just left their school and have nothing better to do, so their parents will lend (give) them a few thousands each to start off their so-called joint f&B business. But I was wrong.
One fine afternoon, one of my buddy, Edwin called me for lunch, he was suggesting potong steak at Highway Cafe. That's how we ended up in that restaurant that day, together with us was Ah Yi.
To my surprise, Highway Cafe doesn't look something like running by young people, but by some retired old men instead. When I stepped in it, I felt as if I had entered a time machine which had brought me back to 1970s or maybe earlier than that. Their signboard is such an old fashion, the decoration is something like a cowboy pub, the furniture are outdated, the ambience is something like my dad and mum's secret dating place, they play oldies and classical love songs; but everything turned out to be something nice and good for a fine dining. Not forgetting their staff is not young too, they are probably slightly younger than the staff in Coliseum Cafe in KL.
Edwin had a rib-eye steak, Yi ordered a sizzling lamb chop and I went for a sirloin steak. How does it taste? It is nice, so much better than expected. I visit to TGI Friday for their Jack Daniel's steak regularly as I love it so much, but I find the Highway's steak is much better than the one in Friday.
Two weeks later, which was yesterday, I took my wife to try out their steak. She ordered a medium well-done sirloin and a tomyam soup. Surprisingly her tongue loves highway too, she agreed that Highway's steak is much better than any steak house in the class that we have visited before. But if you would like to have something best of the best, perhaps you can go for wagyu beef at Jake's Charbroil Steaks in Bangsar.
I looked from other blogs or website about Highway Cafe, almost everyone says their nasi bonjari and escargot are nice. Besides that, they have curry laksa noodle, nasi lemak, shark's fin soup, burgers, curry fish-head, cantonese style noodle, supreme salmon, and many more. Hmm.... I am gonna try others next time. I feel damn hungry now,"Captain, can I have a sirloin steak, medium rare please?".
