Meat Dinner - Fogal's Meat Market

Warning: Food post with food pictures. Do not enter on empty stomach.

It's always hard for l'angeau orange, NaanBleu and us to meat meet for dinner somehow - our schedules doesn't allow for easy planning so there's plenty of online chatting via GMail/GTalk with the question, "When is Meat Dinner?" and checking on each other's availability.

Probably we don't make it easy when we tend to prioritize our BodyJam/BodyCombat sessions more than Meat Dinner, especially when we attend the classes because we have fun there and not because we need to jaga badan.

The next question usually would be, "Where is Meat Dinner?"

Given that we usually have our Meat Dinners at TGIF The Curve all these time it was time for a change and to give them waiters a breather from having us. The last Meat Dinner we all had was in March at Italiannies The Curve for a change (hmmm it's not actually correct to call this one a Meat Dinner really) and we still haven't heard the last from l'agneau orange and NaanBleu regarding our blindness when it comes to ethnicity or taste.

The where was easily answered. Fogals came highly recommended from two sources: NaanBleu was recommended it by her friend and we read it on Nigel's blog. As for the when, that was rather a last-minute thing but as it was, everyone was free on Thursday night and were able to head there straight after work.

Fogal's. Silly us, mistook the address 'Above Hartamas Shopping Centre' to literally be above Hartamas SC and not the plaza uphill from it.

The poor boy. The targetted waiter of us all to bear the brunt our jokes and dares, behind his back of course.
"I dare you to ask the boy which is bigger, the lamb loin (pronounced groin) or the beef loin, while staring at his loin."
"Go and ask the boy if he's legal or not."
"Take a picture of the boy and tell him it's for your blog."
"Call the boy to tell him that his sausages are too salty and shrivelled."
Well, as you can see we took up the picture dare although we claim that it was for NaanBleu's blog - after all we didn't want to scare poor boy from serving our table.

Our starter - the Bacon And Cheese Salad. L'agneau orange avoids greens thus leaving more for NaanBleu and us. We'll all fight for the pieces of bacon hiding behind the leaves tho'.

The second starter - a Full Platter consisting of 4 kebabs (2 chicken and 2 beef if we remember correctly), 4 sausages (chicken, beef, lamb and pork) and 2 steaks (medium well with no blood). The kebabs were good, the steaks absolutely lovely and juicy but the sausages didn't appease really. Came with mash potatoes. To save space we dumped the Bacon And Cheese Salad onto this dish.

The Roast Lamb Of The Day. Good but we love the steak better. The lamb doesn't smell (for them who cannot take lamb due to said smell) and it's easy to sink the teeth in. Coleslaw and wedges were fantastic.

Bill came up to RM140ish. Not bad. A bit of a shame that the place closes at 10pm. Then again, once we were done we were all itching for a bite of dessert, which in the end we all decided on Starbucks just downstairs. Quick note: the Mango Passionfruit Frap was bland, while the Raspberry Blackcurrent Frap tasted a bit like sweet cough syrup initially. Sigh. Such a letdown, coming from Starbucks.

Must go Fogal's again! Does lad still want Carl's Jr for birthday celebration?
