Hello, The Strip Hollywood Steakhouse!
I wasn’t really planning on visiting this steakhouse as I
was targeting the ramen place beside it. However, they are closed from 3 p.m.
to 6 p.m. to [I guess] prepare for dinner or something. Anyway, I was really down when I saw the
closed sign but smiled in an instant when the server at The Strip Hollywood
Steakhouse told me that they’re open and happy to serve!
So, steakhouse it is then.
I was planning to order a big slab of steak until my mom
told me that it was Friday. I don’t really practice it (and I even had tapa for breakfast!) but since my mom
was hesitant, I finally gave in and decided to order The Pink Meat (PHP500) while my mom opted to order Stuffed Calamari (PHP360). Since I
wanted something more, I opted to order the Goat’s Island and Berry Seas (PHP220) as dessert. We also had two
glasses of their Signature Iced Tea
(PHP108)
While waiting, we were given complimentary bread with butter
drizzled with some herbs. My mom enjoyed it as it was crisp outside yet soft and
warm inside. My mom though preferred if they served it with cheese while I was
pretty content with the melted butter.
The food was served as soon as we finished our bread and it
was just the perfect timing!
The Pink Meat, or salmon fillet was fresh and well cooked.
It didn’t have the fishy taste at all. I just hope that they put less pepper on
it. The organic poached egg was divine as well. It was very soft and slightly
salted. I also enjoyed the blanched asparagus. Yummy! The crispy rosti potatoes
added texture to the rather soft dish making it even more enjoyable.
The stuffed calamari on the other hand had prosciutto and
smoked mozzarella with herbed pesto. It was slightly chewy yet the inside was
oozing with flavor. Slightly tangy because of the cheese, this is one great
appetizer to order!
As for my dessert, I ordered it because of two words… “goatcheese”. I was intrigued by it. At first, I was a bit hesitant as I’m not the
biggest fan of white chocolate but after one spoonful, I smiled and was so glad
to order it. It was sweet yet tangy at the same time. The caramel on top plus
the berry soup added extra flavors and it was a very harmonious combination. I
just love it! I can’t wait to try though the “Triple Allegiance” which is a
triple layered mousse terrine of dark, milk and white chocolate. (Okay, that description
made me drool again!)
I’ll definitely visit again soon!
The Strip Hollywood
