Beefing it Up at Glo Damansara!
Las Vacas has been serving up beefy goodness
since 2007 when its first butchery shop opened. After a decade later and four
outlets later with the latest one at Glo Damansara, Las Vacas is still a beefy hotspot for awesome steaks and more.
The
new outlet at Glo Damansara is wonderfully spacious and nicely designed. While
one can opt for comfort in the main dining area, there is also an al fresco
area to enjoy your meal. Barely a year old, this outlet already had quite a few
private events with Chef Muhammad Amirull Azahar leading the kitchen and
culinary team.
Las
Vacas owners – Freddy Azman and FD Idzham FD Iskandar takes their meat
seriously and ensures that quality is their main priority at Las Vacas.
Las Vacas is renowned for diners selecting
their choice of the best beef cuts and marbling before getting the kitchen team
to whip it up to their liking. There is always a solid range of premium quality
beef ranging from grain fed to grass fed and to the premium wagyu up to
marbling of 9. All beef are wet aged for 3 weeks to produce beefy robust
flavours. Food ingredients used are halal certified. Fear not if beef is not
your thing as they also serve chicken, lamb, salmon as well as pasta, burgers
and sandwiches.
We
were here for their Ramadan specials as well as their regular menu. For the
month of buka puasa, Las Vacas Glo
Damansara will be serving choice of 3 dishes specially concocted for
diners. We tried the Aromatic Spice Pilaf Baked and Grill
Chicken & Gravy
(RM38.90), a generous portion fit for two eaters. Fluffy spiced up rice studded
with nuts and raisin, baked with a grill spiced chicken goes really well with
tasty tomato salsa, fried potatoes and two gravies, we enjoyed the dish a lot.
There
are two other options of Arabic Puri
Bread with Lamb Shank (RM77.90) and Vacas
Ribeye Steak with Garlic Creamy Mash Potato and Raspberry Sauce (RM77.90)
for the buka puasa menu as well.
The
signature and most ordered dish in the regular menu is Las Vacas Famous Beef Wrap (RM21.20). Looks are deceiving in this
case as the dish looked plain when it arrived. Beef rolls wrapped with
julienned vegetables and drenched in cheesy beefy sauce was described in the
menu. One taste of this roll and it was superb in flavours. The beef roll was
tender with some crunchy from vegetables. The sauce was amazingly flavourful.
Rich and creamy with beefy essence, that sauce would have also gone well with
steaks. A must-order if you’re at Las Vacas!
For
cheese lovers, there’s the Oozy
Mozzarella Sticks (RM18). Golden batons of crumbed cheese that oozes with
hot melting cheese is served with tomato anchovy salsa. Decent and great as
snacks or for kids.
The
Classic Caesar (RM18) is worthy of
an order. Solid creamy garlicky and cheesy flavours on crisp lettuce with long
crunchy croutons, generous shavings of parmesan cheese and a soft poached egg.
Our
first beef arrived and the Grain Fed
Ribeye (RM100 – 280gm) didn’t disappoint. Beautifully thick and juicy, the
ribeye smells wonderful. Well charred and cooked to medium for my liking, the
ribeye had a good bite with a tasty note. Served with smears of spice oil and
rich brown sauce with toast and side salad, the steak is very satisfying for
that price. There is also a small portion if you’re not a big eater.
The
Wagyu Ribeye MB7 (RM65 per 100gm) is
even better in flavour than the ribeye. Sliced a bit thin as the ribeye was
bigger in size, this one is a hearty 200gm portion. Due to the thinness of the
cut, the beef was almost well done. Nevertheless, it was still very juicy and
the flavours are simply amazingly moreish. If you are one to prefer flavour
over texture, this one is worth splurging for as the flavours are superb and
the beef is amazingly tender.
Lamb Chops (RM55) are another meaty option and
executed beautifully with good smoky char aroma. Three pieces of well-trimmed
lamb chops that is succulent and well-seasoned cooked to medium doneness for
perfect texture. I like how meaty the lamb chops and thus making it a hearty
and filling portion.
We
also decided to try the Salmon Fillet
(RM51.95). Minor setbacks for this one as the salmon was too well-cooked for my
liking but the crispy skin on the salmon is commendable. Another plus point on
the dish was the yummy and creamy soft spinach that goes so well with the fish.
Let the staff know if you prefer your salmon medium like me else it will be
cooked well done.
When
the Lamb Burger (RM29.70 – 250gm)
arrived, I stared at it in awe. The thick lamb patty looked so luscious and
tempting. Las Vacas offer several weights on their burger patties and we opted
for a thick one since we love our burgers with thick meaty patties. Served with
golden spiced fries, the lamb burger is delicious. Juicy, tender and tasty,
sinking your teeth into the toasted sesame seed bun with the patty and all its
trimming is very satisfying.
There’s
also set lunch available during week days with several options of choice of
your dish with an Iced Lemon Tea. We tried their vegetarian version of Pomodoro with Broccolini Pasta. The
past is cooked al dente and delicious. We didn’t miss any proteins as the pasta
is already well flavoured and cooked well.
Lots
of choices of quality meat, Las Vacas
at Glo Damansara is a great place to get your steak fix. Good quality meat don’t
really need much sauces, just enough salt and pepper works wonder on the beefy
goodness. Coupled with the lovely ambiance, it’s a place to unwind with good
steaks!
