STEAKLICIOUS

By Aly Abaquin

JASPAS & Rock Grill ( Da Quy Nuong) is all about delivering big taste- truly unique and delicious steak creations. STEAKLICIOUSly yours freshly grilled may it be medium rare or well done.

I was craving for steak and I need red meat since been eating my greens almost everyday in Vietnam.

So when hungry for steak where to go?

There are two choices you can get that steak fix and two resto that wets your appetite with this lip smacking dishes that are both unique and delicious as recommended by yours truly.

Jaspas at Dong Khoi the shopping district & Rock Grill at Cong Quynh near the backpackers district Pham Ngu Lao ward.

When you walk in hungry you walk out full. That meant you’ve been treated with great new hospitality and you had a great selection of signature dishes from their array of menu.

Start your meal off the right choice of steak. Its big enough to share but many like me want to keep it all to themselves.

At JASPAS. Been in the HCMC landscape for many years now so considered a veteran and is house in the yellow façade and located in POSH Dong Khoi St.. The shopping haven for tourist and where the high ends shops are.

    Jaspas is an enduring favorite for all saigonites for they focuses on creative menus with Australian influenced & International fusion cuisines and main courses starts at 120,000 vnd or $6 dollars. Known for their excellent salt & pepper steaks with wasabi mash.

I ordered the Porcini Steak Grilled imported rib eye over potatoes gratin & sautéed spinach then topped with oven dried tomatoes and porcini mushrooms.

A little bit pricy at 282,000 vnd $ 16 dollars. But it is so worth it. The steak was so good every bite is heavenly. The gratin potatoes are mashed up with buttery goodness and the tomatoes are Smokey in flavor that adds color to the dish.

While for The Rock Grill who just recently open are introducing the stone grill do –it yourself cooking is strategically located near the backpackers area.

The all white façade spells casual dining that makes you feel welcome and rested.

When my Mom & Dad came to visit HCMC this is our choice of diner to celebrate their 50th Wedding.

For only $10- 16 dollars. STEAK DINNER SET. The steak meal set is with soup, salad, appetizers & dessert included.

The soup is pureed pumpkin soup that is so thick that complements the whole set while the tuna salad is just Average but the deviled eggs was good making you anticipate the Australian beef that will be served soon .

Australian beef at 120g with siding of baked potato, cauliflower, string beans and carrots.

So literally straight from the grill in this case grilling it yourself. The grilling experience is so fun that you can melt the butter in the hot stone then grill the steaks as you like it with cracked peppercorns and then topped with a cream sauce. The steak is tender & luscious as when you sliced it one at a time.

The Hot stone cooking is ready to rock once again. Its truly awe-inspiring steak creation will change your eating lifestyle. As guests are able to cook the steak and other menu items just the way they like them.

Enjoy both resto in their great laid back and comfortable atmosphere and learn why STEAK never tasted so big only at this side of HCMC. Indeed STEAKLICIOUS is a new word.
