Affordable Set Lunches - San Francisco Steakhouse, Damansara Intan

I've always wanted to try out San Francisco Steakhouse but it's not a cheap place to eat at and there haven't been that many occasions to celebrate. Well that's just an excuse now that they are offering set lunches for RM13.90. Each set lunch comes with a main course and 2 choices out of the following 3; Soup of the Day, Salad of the Day and Dessert of the Day. The set lunch menu varies with each day of the week with 2 selections of main courses per day. Drinks however are not included and they are killer expensive. It might be wise to order sky juice if you're on a budget :)

Me and ST made our way to the San Francisco Steakhouse outlet in Damansara Intan which was a little empty on Saturday afternoon and ordered both choices of set lunch for that day. The menu for the day was Penne Arabbiata (Penne Pasta with Tomatoes, Mushrooms and Turkey Ham) and Boneless Lamb with Plum Sauce (Roasted Lamb with Roasted Vegetables and Plum Sauce). Since neither of us were big fans of salads we opted for the soup and the dessert.

Soup of the day was tomato soup which I liked. ST doesn't like tomatoes so no comments from her.

Penne Arabbiata. This was a lot more filling that it looked. Very nice if you like tomatoes like I do.

Boneless Lamb with Plum Sauce. The lamb chops were easily edible (not chewy) and the plum sauce was flavourful. Pity about the el-cheapo fries though. The vegetables weren't that great either.

The dessert. I don't know what it's called but it's basically a piece of jelly laid on top of some crossaint pastry. The pastry was terribly hard but coupled with the custer sugar it was actually a winning combination! If rock tasted this good I would eat it everyday.

All in all pretty good value for money (if you skimp on the drinks that is). Filling enough if you are not a big eater.

6 wise words from our readers:

a golden opinion from boo_licious: Those lamb chops look good and really good value for money. Guess if you are paying RM13.90, you can't expect home cut fries and lots of vege.; 6:42 AM
