Tanahmas Hotel is having a Wine & Dine promotion this month with steak air flown in from New Zealand paired with their Seifried wine from Nelson, NZ. Faye was in a generous mood, so she bought me dinner last night. Perhaps me helping her out tutoring had something to do with it as well. 😉
I had the Grilled Ribeye Steak (RM 44.00 ++) which came with broccoli, carrot, cauliflower, young corn and mashed potato. It comes with your choice of black pepper sauce or mushroom sauce. I’m a big fan of garlic sauce, which I guess is a little unrefined, and can be hazardous to your breath, but it’s really good. Unfortunately, they don’t have that, so I went with the black pepper sauce.
I had it medium rare and the steak came out tender and juicy. The portion is very generous too, well worth the RM 44 price tag.
Faye had the Grilled Sizzling Lamb Chop (RM 26.50 ++) which is also part of the Western Food Promotion (also known as the Wine & Dine promotion). It comes with the same trimmings and sauce options. She went for the mushroom sauce.
We also ordered fried mee mamak (RM 13.00 ++) to share. I like Tanahmas Hotel’s (the place is really called Peppers Cafe, I don’t know why everyone calls it Tanahmas Hotel) fried mee mamak – it’s very spicy.
This is the Chimpanzee Shake (RM 10.00 ++). It’s a peanut butter milk shake and I’ve been having cravings for the stuff ever since I had it a couple of weeks ago. It’s a thick and sinful concoction of peanut butter and ice cream and if you think you’ll like something like this, you probably would. Honestly, everyone I recommended this to came back with rave reviews.
Faye also presented me with a crudely wrapped DVD sized package as a token of appreciation for my tutoring efforts.
It’s an 8 GB USB flash drive. I’ve been wanting to get another one since the one I got earlier this month filled up. It’s the perfect gift for a blogger (or photographer). Thanks Faye! 🙂
Hey, what’s with the feeding each other routine? :p
HB you really enjoy eating a lot ya? My granny used to say those guys with good appetite normally have hugeeee sex desire as well… True or not hor? (I also enjoy eating…..)
Its been ages since I been there. You lucky SOB what a generous GF your got there, wish I have one. Even a blind person can tell its not about the tutorial gratitude but something else la
With free flow of the wine? If not, mighty pricey! But l wont mind one bit…if sumbody else is paying! LOL! Does she need any more help with the tutoring? Hahaha! And wat’s roland hinting at, eh? U need a wedding singer, KIV STP, ya? Free! As long as l get fed! Hahahahaha!
mmmm peanut butter milk shake…. I’m tempted to make myself some, but the options of variants you could do would be endless!
(peanut butter,vanilla ice-cream, banana and malibu would be one example I would opt for 😉
the steak looks great as well, although I have to say that I am usually disappointed at the sides that come with the steak. You’d think the chefs could be a bit more imaginative instead of throwing in your bog standard boiled veg.
Hi HB can you email me when you’ve the time? Have a big favor to ask. Please contact me at shandemon@yahoo.com
Thanks mate. Have a great week ahead.
dude, I didnt realise that you’re back in the blogosphere! welcome back!
RM44++ is a bit too expensive for the steak, i mean for RM44++ at least the side dishes could be better.
HB, any plan to come to kota kinabalu?
omg! HB dude… glad ur still alive n rockin it… you look way better man… props!
Hehe… didnt come in to check for a few days, quite a few interesting things you have here. I tried once the big shrimp noodle in Sarikei, didnt know Sibu has that too. Next time I go, you chia me ok? 😛
Getting ready for sharing wedding cake???
uh that fried mee mamak looks damn delicious.. should not come to this blog before lunch hour.. 😀
that ribeye steak is pretty big, usually for that price you only get half of that portion.
it does get a little pricey for Malaysia standard…inflation huh? …
Wilson: hmm…there could be a grain of truth in that. i’m told that my sexual appetite is a little on the high side from sharing sexual experiences with friends. i usually do it once a day, which some of my married friends tell me is a little on the high side. you?
Roland: hmm…i wouldn’t know lar. *pretend*
😉
suituapui: nope, the price is not inclusive of wine. i would literally drink them out of business if it were. 🙂
JW: agreed…even the mashed potatoes seem a little standard fare. i’m looking for more imaginative stuff on my plate when i eat at places like this.
Shan: no problem shan. 🙂
xes: thanks buddy! much appreciated.
zeroize: true, that….
anyway, i do plan to visit kk sometime soon considering i have fond (?) memories of the place having spent my rehab there.
paradoxx: thanks mate. 🙂
i’m very much alive these days. kinda much better in a way then my drug hazed days.
fish fish: sure, no problem. would be happy to. 🙂
it’s the most famous prawn noodles in sibu due to its pricing.
Crunk Juice: not soon. 🙂
perhaps someday…
bongkersz: i prefer the mee mamak at cafe cafe. it’s much tastier than the stuff at peppers but peppers is spicier.
Darren: i’m going to review this HUGE steak soon. supposedly around 800 grams of steak in there.
paul: well, it’s a little on the high side for hotel cafe steaks but these are air flown in, which justifies the price a bit. the usual beef (monopoly by sarabif in sarawak) is from south america and other interesting (read: dodgy) places like pakistan.
“i usually do it once a day, which some of my married friends tell me is a little on the high side. you?”
hahaha!
I swear, HB, I know your American twin. Food, sex, and drugs… hmm… actually I’m pretty lucky, huh? 😉
Dude, lady in pix #1, must be her time time wearing a t-back eh ?
Dude,( Oops correction) lady in pix #1, must be her first time wearing a t-back eh ?
eve: lucky indeed! he’s lucky too coz not many people of the female persuasion appreciates guys like us. 😉
e: it must be…don’t know her though, random person who walked through the entrance when i took that photo.
