Fogal Meat Market At Plaza Damas

Still not in the mood to paste my 'ang moh' pictures. So instead, allow me to introduce Fogal Meat Market located somewhere in Plaza Damas. It's not situated in the shopping complex so please do not wander around aimlessly in there for twenty minutes before calling for assistance. It's okay Wen Fen, nothing to be embarassed about...really! This place was introduced by Soo Mei Yoke and she does have good taste in food. There are some people that I just won't trust for food recommendation. Anywhoooo...the place is not huge and I would suggest sitting outside to avoid sneezing to death. The ventilation is not that great and the kitchen follows an open concept. You get my drift.

Our poor (defined not by monetary means but rather by the cruel twist in events that brought him to our table) waiter. I just could not keep a straight face while ordering the sausages...what with all the loin jokes flying around and the dares and challenges made. Here's what our order looked like:

• Bacon & cheese salad (they did not just have bacon & cheese minus the salad...alas)
• A mixed platter (2 steaks, 4 sausages, 4 kebabs and more salad)
• Lamb roast of the day

Suffice to say, the bacon & cheese disappeared faster than the salad. Green is normally perceived as a soothing colour to the eye, but when you are in the company of a certain someone called Chong Wen Fen...the opposite holds true. So Alvin (The Boy a.k.a The Other Carnivore) and yours truly had to graze on all that veggie (plus the one from our mix platter) to appease the girl.

Time for the verdict: steaks - yummy, lamb roast - yummy, kebabs - yummy, sausages - disappointingly NOT yummy. I would give it THE LEECHES SEAL OF APPROVAL but with reservations when it comes to the sausages. Oh, the wedges were good...the mash potatoes...well, after having eaten Aunty Kim's mash tatters...every other sort pales in comparison. Don't believe me? Be nice to her and you may be invited to their annual Christmas BBQ (ha ha...now it's out there in the open...ooops). It is superb! I kid you not. As sooth as a baby's *ahem* and cheesy.

And what about the coleslaw? Yummy too. I, at this juncture am very much obligated to point out that with regards to this veggie, The Girl dug in. Why? Cause it ain't green and healthy. How does she stay that thin? One of those questions that one is not meant to ever understand in this lifetime. But I digress. It was a good experience despite the initial difficulty in figuring out where to park and where the place was (had to bother Soo for that...thanks woman for the directions). The company was even better. I however feel bad for the table next to us. They certainly had to endure the cheeky giggles and outbursts of laughter. Endorphines definitely ran high at our table. So till the next meat outing...salute!
