Marciano

Dear diary,

When I was a kid, I used to take the Jalan Ampang route to school. This wooden steakhouse called Roadhouse Grill would come into my sight everyday.

I heard about it a lot, over the years, that they serve groundnuts in a sack as appetizers.

Only until recent, I stepped into this wooden house, for a casual Saturday day night dinner with my parents.

Its name is now Marciano. I still prefer it being called Roadhouse Grill.

They still serve groundnuts, but in a metal bucket instead of a sack.

Me and my safe choice – Ribeye Steak, medium, mushroom gravy. In fact I would prefer steak without gravy. Told them to serve gravy separately but they forgot.

and I like to have chilled beer whenever there’s steak. They complement each other perfectly. Though sometimes I might go for freshly squeezed mango juice.

Steak not as good as Jake’s but the environment was really cozy and nicely-decorated – gives you the seemingly real experience of dining in a cowboy town.
