Craving For Steaks???

Yes! It's a weekend... Finally! I have 48 hours of relaxation from work!! Hehee... But soon it will be over again!!! I'm now left with another 7 to 8 hours before it's time to get back to lala-land and to face reality of life again tomorrow!! Spent quality time with my Deardear over this weekend, not doing much but sleep!!!

We intended to go to the beach on Saturday but the weather suxs, be it yesterday or today! The weather is so good for sleeping!! Anyway, we woke up and had our lunch yesterday... after that we unknowingly fell asleep again while lying on the bed! We slept almost for the whole day yesterday and only went out for dinner at around 8plus. It was indeed a boring weekend, but I really cherish the time I spent together with him bcoz weekends are precious to me now! Hahaa!

Yesterday night we went to a new restuarant at Dampsey Hill for dinner. The restuarant is called The Prime Society, specializes and famous for their steaks and beef ribs!!



As we did not make any reservation, they were not able to accomodate us to sit inside the restuarant... Thus, we had to sit at the tables outside instead! In fact, this restuarant isn't officially open... It has been opened for about a week and it's only their soft-launch period now. However, according to the waiter, it was full house yesterday and on the day before!

Got to know one of the waiters there as we waited quite long for our main courses to be served... Learnt that they were understaff last night and had to borrow manpower from Gelare coz Gelare is actually their sister company! Our entire stay at the restaurant was about 3 hours!!! While we were eating our appetizers and waiting for the main courses, the waiters and waitresses made the effort to check on us every now and then to see if everything was fine. Hahaa!! Was quite impressed with their good customer service initially, but after too many times, it seems kinda of irritating though!! Kekekeke... Probably bcoz I was hungry and it's taking way too long for my food to be served! Think we waited for more than an hour!



But to compensate for our patience and waiting time, the waiter offered us a free bowl of peanuts while we were waiting. And when Deardear footed the bill, they even waived off the charges for our drinks which added up to a discount of $20plus! We were quite surprised!


Overall, other than the long wait, the food is good!! The steaks are very tender and juicy!! I like their King Prawns appetizer too! And the whole egg yolk in the hard boiled egg for the Caesar salad remains in liquid form, wonder how they did that?? As for their pricing, it's more on the high end coz it's quite upmarket. I don't think we can cannot afford to eat there every weekend... but it's ok to eat at such places once in a while.


Oh yah, coincidently we also ate steaks for dinner on last Saturday. I said that I will blog on our dining experience at Stonegrill remember? But now after eating at The Prime Society, Stonegrill is of no fight with them!! Hahaaa! Coz at Stonegrill, we have to cook the steaks ourselves... Kekeke... so of coz no fight lah!! But I must say the mashed potato is nice!!!


The service at Stonegrill should be improved though... bcoz we also waited very long for our food to be served but the waiters don't seem apologetic at all about their slow service and were kinda blur on our orders! We can tell that they were also understaff, but I think they should do something about it. Then again... I know maybe we cannot compare the 2... coz eating at Stonegrill is definitely much cheaper than eating at The Prime Society.

By the way, Stonegrill is along Katong area. Be prepared to smell bad after eating there bcoz of the smoke from the grill which filled the entire air-conditioned restaurant. It's just like eating at Seoul Garden!! Hahaa!
