A Fine Experience at Marble 8 Steakhouse

Promised myself to blog today, so i spent an hour plus just transferring pictures from my phone to the Macbook and sorting them by events/albums.

An hour just flew by like that. Sighh.. time, where have you gone to?

Anyway, this is a throwback blogpost.

If you did follow me on Instagram, you would have already guessed that I recently had the chance to enjoy a meal at Marble 8 courtesy of me bf.

By far the most expensive meal we have had together, don't even know what was the occasion la tbh, I have just been bugging him for the longest time to bring me there for the wagyu and he finally agreed to do so a week before Christmas. We decided not to go before Christmas because we were worried that it might be pack.

I am a huge fan of steak, so I'm ready to try all the steak i can get in the world. LOL

Told Eric, to cheer me up he just need to buy me 1. Steak 2. Crab. LOL Two of my fav food!

So, a day before we went to Marble 8, we made a booking for 7PM, being the kiasu Malaysian that we are, we arrived at 6.30PM to only find out that the place isn't open until 7PM. So me and Eric sat in the car and waited.

Were the 1st to arrive therefore, we had the best seat in the room!

Ambience was romantic but we weren't la. LOL

Took our time looking through the menu, deciding which chunk of meat should i devour. HAHAH. We were ready to burn a hole in our pocket that night, expecting the bill to come up to about 1,000.

I had my eyes set on the wet aged beef actually, reason being, i love love love juicy beef, seeing the juice oozing out when i cut em pieces makes me happy, but the waiter recommended the dry aged beef instead, he said wet aged beef is a waste because the juice oozes out and it goes to waste.

It's okay, i will be back again to try out the wet aged beef. Oh, another reason why i went with the dry aged beef was because they only serve Wagyu in dry aged beef. All wet aged by black angus.

I wanted to try wagyu therefore the decision!

Complimentary beard, love the sun dried tomato dressing. The others, i have no idea what are they except for the olive oil.

The waiters there are extremeeeeelyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy polite and helpful!

We needed help in wine recommendation and he said quite a number of things that i could;t catch, still couldn't decide though even after his recommendation, so i told him the wine that goes well with everything la. LOL

We took two glasses, i ended up finishing both cause Eric isn't a fan of alcohol. hahaha

We had the Hokkaido scallop and lobster carpaccio with yes sauce and wasabi mayonnaise topped with roasted sesame seed. Price at RM88

erm, i didn't quite enjoy this exquisite meal tho. Too raw for my liking. heheh

Eric ordered the roasted lamb rack cause he isn't a fan of steak. It was alright only, had better ones before.

and here comes my glorious steak:

I don't know how to describe the 1st bite, i was smiling from eye to eye man! All i can think about was, this is by far the best chunk of wagyu i have ever tasted before.
"Is this how heaven taste like"
"I am definitely coming here again"

All those were running through my mind. HAHAHAH

It was so so good, i couldn't beare to even share a piece with Eric, but i did la okay! HAHAHAH

Have i forgot to mention that, we ordered steak fries with truffle mayo and baked portobello mushroom as our sides.
The truffle mayo was the BOMB! even Eric agreed, it's hard to please Eric when it comes to food but he said the Truffle Mayo was something!

Complimentary dessert and of course we ordered our own dessert, the waiter made it on the spot for us, just right beside out table. Too lazy to have the video uploaded here. Sorry guys! HAHAH

Total damage was RM800++ for 2 pax

That's all folk!

Hands on at the Stove @ Sekeping Serendah

PART 3 [Final]

Leaving the best for the last part. What is there that is better than FOOD! *grin*

If you have missed out Part 1 (How the tree house looks like) & Part 2 (Of Swimsuits and unglam shots). Check it out!

Promise that this would be the last entry. HAHAH.. bet everyone is getting a bit bored. 

The team decided to fetch up half carton of wine to Sekeping cause there isn't really much to do except for the few things that I have mentioned.

Chilling up the wine in the fridge before we get started on our day. 

These pots are brought from home too, Sekeping provided wok but only like one or two, definitely not enough for a whole bunch of hungry people.

One of the con at the pantry is, the fire is very slow. It takes a lot of time before the food can be cook, everyone was hungry by then.

Day 1 meal: STEAMBOAT :)

Clean and healthy.

Sausages, chicken and what not in the ice box all the way from Klang.

Dinner was at 7PM, everyone is helping out at the pantry to prepare food. Special thanks to Chloe, Lea, Wai San, Ah Yuan, Ah Chia and Jin throughout the three days. Honestly, i didn't even enter at pantry la, the only time i went there is to get food. HAHAHA wtf

很丰富! :) So much variety

We even had tiger prawns and crab le fyi. Tiger beer and wine to go with hot steamy food under cold weather! GOOD LARH!

Wah, perfect #Flatlay, pic taking assisted by boss Dolphin!

Satisfied face after dinner before we head for our night swim, which then got chased away by the guard cause it was 10PM already. Pool closes at 10PM so no one is allowed to enter. =(

All of us slept together. Twin bed taken by Sabrina and Agnes while Willis, Keid and I took the single bed. Me and Keid ended up sleeping on the floor, don't even need the netting. Too cold for mozzy to come out and play. :D

Bright and shine!

Remember i mentioned that the stairs were quite scary, there you go! No railing for you to hold onto it =(

In fear you might fall flat, just crawl up la. lol

Willis & Sabrina just woke up face!

Breakkie prepared by Keid. How often do you see a guy preparing breakkie for you. HAHA

But, he sucks at it la. Took so much time and food remnants was stuck to the stick pan cause he placed too little oil. wtf *lousy chef, he shud just stick to diving la* lol

yer, look at Willis! Notice that no one was touching the phone right? HAHAHAH. no choice coz no coverage :)

Wai Shen washing the plate, just standing there being all amazed. wtf

Day 2, we had to shift out of the huge villa into smaller houses cause someone booked the huge villa earlier than us. SAD!

We had 2 hours plus to waste before lunch was served or before even we get to check into our new homes. Spent the 2 hours plus just walking around, taking more pictures and catching up with each other.

This is the glass house. Everything can be seen from the outside.

One of the thing everyone got addicted too is the Vape la. Wai Shen brought his Vape over and everyone started taking turn to tape too.

This genius came up with the idea of making bubble smoke. Prepared soup from the toilet and use used up toilet roll to blow into. HAHAH

That 2 hours waiting time really took a toll on everyone la. Mr Willis decided to jz a quick nap but too bad, SAM here managed to capture two really unglam pic of this pig!

YERRRR!

After moving in and having a simple lunch of mee hook soup, we decided to go swimming again. All swimming pics in the 2nd posting.

It's finally time for BBQ dinner! Everyone busy working at the pitt.

Cute Nigel having his chicken :)

Looking at all this is making me really hungry. Anybody want to host a BBQ dinner soon? :)

The crab were amazing, so super sweet coz we added bbq sauce onto it.

Sambal prawns cooked by Ah Chia. *fantastic*

So crunchy the meat. <3

Ser Ling's amazing idea. Use aluminum foil, place in marshmallow and add in milo powder. :)

Lastly, mantis prawn for everybody cooked by Ah Chia again. Finger licking good but the mantis prawns a bit too small for my liking and it's so much harder to peel mantic prawn than normal prawns, had the privilege of Willis peeling it for me.. MUAHAHAHAHAH thanks bro! ;P

Ser Ling preparing a big feast for us. She killed the fish and cut it open.

Boss, Jin and Chia took off to fishing at about 1 KM away from Sekeping and managed to catch that huge one that the kitchen table.

Well, that was the last fulfilling meal we had before we head for a night swim again :)

Bidding farewell to this place was quite tough, was really a relaxing getaway for me. No thoughts of work of any other things. :)

Clockwise from Alvin (Red shirt), Ser Ling, Agnes, Sabrina, Keid, Lexy, Willis, Wai Shen, Naomi. This trip was made fun because of all these people. :)
