The verdict
BolehA solid food-court visit with above-average Aussie steak and a standout Korean egg sandwich, though the peri chicken disappoints. The one-litre mango smoothie is great value for sharing. Overall an above-average spot worth a visit with friends.

- Taste: Juicy well-seasoned steak slightly chewy; fluffy egg sandwich tastes like pepperoni pizza

- Other: Durian smoothie unavailable during visit

I tried this Australian beef cube for 35 ringgit, it's called canteen in gomba. You wanna sit outside? Can, you wanna eat inside? Also can. They got a selection of food, I went with Beef Boss. Got two dishes here on the fire show, ooh looks juicy. Also ordered from this shop called Burnt Rotisserie. Got the peri chicken and their special Burnt Sandwich. Just like most food courts, you get this beepy thing to let you know that your food is ready. Luamara dalam suku. For drinks, I wanted to try that smoothie, the durian wasn't available so I got the ice-blended mango instead. It's huge! Let me give you a comparison. It's one litre of smoothie same as one big bottle of water. And surprisingly, it tastes okay, even the mango was fresh. 3 to 5 people can drink this and be very full. Huge plus to the price-to-portion ratio. It's a 6.9, their low signature Aussie steak, one very chonky steak, and their signature fries. Fries are good, you won't be disappointed but it's quite normal la. I tried eating the steak like a distinguished gentleman but my plastic fork broke. I came back with a new one but I still couldn't pick the beef up. You wanna tell me lagi best? It's juicy, well seasoned and it's simple but just a bit too chewy for my taste. I personally don't like the fats here but I know some of you think it's good. For me the best steak is almost minimally seasoned. Above average steak that won't disappoint most of you. 7 out of 10. This XXL flame grilled beef cube comes with four toppings. The beef taste is similar like the Aussie steak, only juicier and chewier. Personally I like both of these but not the other two. The sauce is too overpowering for me. Just choose the sauce that you want and this will be a 7.2. This is called the roasted peri-peri chicken. The sauce was tangy and added a peri flavour on top of the chicken which was roasted well but the more you chew it the more it became bland because it was not marinated with the sauce. The rice had a sweet salty flavour and it's okay la. To slaw has the familiar taste just a bit sweeter. For me the sauce did not elevate the taste and this makes it an average dish. 5.8. special Korean egg sandwich. So fluffy! The star was the fluffy omelette cheddar cheese wrapped in toasted brioche made it delicious. Somehow la it tastes like pepperoni pizza. Ah the price is a bummer but you're eating tasty clouts. It's an 8 out of 10. Where are you going from? Uh, PJ. Thank you so much for your good last years.
