Hog's Breath Cafe


The girls were raving about how good the steaks are here. Not once but again and again.

So this carnivore here die die also dragged the husband down to try even though the husband was abit sceptical when it comes to restaurants that i wanna bring him these days. Haha..

The first time we went, we were blown away by its steaks. But still, i didn't wanna do a write up on it coz it was our first time after all. What if it was simply a coincidence that the chef happened to do the steaks nicely that night? ^.^

The second time when hb went with his sister + bf [i wasn't around then], it was all raves again. That was the time when we got pretty confident about the steaks there so we took the parents down.

Unfortunately, the branch we went wasn't the same one as our first's and second's. We went to a different branch and let's just put it this way [the verdict]. Fil - father in law's tooth dropped out whilst chewing the beef!! :O

The last visit was our 5th visit and i dare say this now, go and try their steaks soon!

Photos.. during our last visit there.

The soup :


It's chicken and vegetable soup. We dislike it. The only soup we like from Hog is their mushroom soup which is really really creamy. Perhaps, a tad too creamy for the fatty me but not for the skinny husband though.

The steak :


Close up shot :


Check that pink! 'nuff said! *wink*

My chicken wrap :


Wanted to try something different on our 5th visit. The wrap isn't too bad. Ok-lah. U know, not too bad and not too fab kind. Something that i will order again when i don't feel like 'steak-ing' :)

A close up shot :

Lotsa cheese in it!

Last but not least, the husband, my no-frills husband!! Lol



Bet he's gonna so freaked out when he sees this. Don't think hb will ever guess that i am gonna put up his photo on my blog! *ngek*ngek*ngek*

Anyway, if you are really keen to try...

1. go to the one at Chjimes.
2. order blackened steaks. their original ones are pretty tasteless, to me that is.
3. order medium rare. it's a must! medium rare isn't bloody at all. medium cooked ones are a bit tough.
4. don't bother trying their chicken and vege soup. if they've got mushroom soup, order it! :P
5. other than their blackened medium rare steaks, their other stuff are pretty average if not bad. Lol.

There are a few things which i like about Hog's Breath. Firstly, it doesn't burn a huge hole in our pocket. Also, we don't have to dress up to go. I once went in my shorts [after my flea market the other day] and no one gave a damn. The peeps there don't scan you up and down, down and up like other places do. Best of all, i'm so comfortable there that i actually sat with my legs crossed [was a tad too tired after flea-ing]! Heh.

I know, ah lian right! :P

But if you're someone who is more 'atas', then this place isn't really for you ah.. Not chick/class/chi chi enough. Ambience? What's that?!
