Picture this: a perfectly cut Australian Angus sirloin, grilled to perfection over fruitwood. The steak is seared at 600 degrees, locking in all the natural juices, resulting in a charred, crispy outside and a tender, juicy inside. The fruitwood gives it a smoky aroma that lingers with every bite. What makes this even more special? Each steak is hand-cut from whole slabs of beef, preserving the meat’s natural flavor and texture. This is the kind of steak that makes you say, “I could eat this every day!”

This dish has recently been awarded as the "Asian Landmark Cuisine."
