Small Potatoes Make The Steak Look Bigger

Some years back, I used to work around the vicinity of Alexandra and it was only today that I've visited Handle Bar (1 Lock Road, Gillman Village, tel: 6475 9571) for the first time. The affliction of looking far out ahead instead of just simply forward is a curse that plagues many, myself included. Now that this location is truly out of the way from any place that I may be in most circumstances, I've chosen to take notice and visit it. But it was a pretty decent place. At least for steaks and beers with friends it is.

The food's pretty decent I must say, if a little pricey in the retrospect of comparison for the ribeye which I had. At almost $40, you get a decent 350g slab of fatty meat, but I didn't think they got medium rare right. It was definitely medium and I guess the positive side is that it would have been worse for it to be undercooked than over. An amusingly named "Silence of the Lambs" came out thickly cut in generous proportions and fatty as well, but was unfortunately lacking of much of the taste of the meat which wasn't strong in the first place, and subdued by the wine sauce. Stuffed jalapenos was quite good actually. I'm not an expert in those since I don't eat them often at all, but I though those cream cheese stuffed chillis were rather tasty finger food with a noticeable bit of spicy kick.

Coming back for the steaks and beer is definitely not out of the question.
