Highlights from my trip to Sabah... really annoyed at my stomach for playing up (thank you Hotel breakfast) and disallowing me from having any seafood. Next time... next time...

Best Buk Kut Teh in town...

Best beef noodle soup I've ever had, the broth was incredibly light, with subtle flavours to it, and only 6RM too.

Tau Fu Fa

A giant pork bun freshly made...

Highlights from my Kuala Lumpur trip...

The missus and I got addicted to Din Tai Fung, even she admitted it was better than its (original) Taiwanese big brother.

Spicy jellyfish

Best Xiao Long Bao I've ever tasted (well compared to Hong Kong, Singapore and London Chinatown's offerings). Though I believe it was down to the Friday evening chef, as one time out of the three times we went, was lunchtime and it wasn't as good (still good though). So major props to this guy...

Pork cutlets were great too

Finally got around to some seafood in KL...

Four patties of beef goodness, if my stomach (see girlfriend) would have allowed it, I'd have bought more at 12RM each

These custard buns were also bomb too

Went to the Tanzini restaurant as I was informed by my cousin that it had the best view in town... well it did a year ago before construction work started on another new hotel. Never mind, the service and food made up for it.

Interior decor was nice

Rocky road dessert, which had chocolate grounded down with salt and sprinkled at the base, with beetroot pieces. I think it was one of the tastiest desserts I've ever had.

Home made chorizo and potatoe tortilla.... very nice even if i do say so myself.

[Vampyrvargfesten]

@american_hearts how much butter did you end up using altogether? how often did you toss out the butter grease

nice crust there!

[american_hearts]

Thanks man! Sounds like you know the eGullet thread that put me down this path -- I ended up doing a hybrid of the Ducasse/Colicchio thing and the full-on butter cooking recommended by that one epic post. I was deathly afraid of overcooking it, so did about 8-9 minutes per side rather than a full 10 each.

8-10 minutes on the edge to render fat. Dumped most of it, salted one side and let it cook in the remaining fat for about 8 minutes. Added a couple tbsp of butter about halfway through. When it was time to turn, I discarded all the fat, salted the other side and added another couple tbsp butter along with crushed garlic. Cooked another 8-9, basting occasionally throughout, then let it rest.

For all my worrying, it basically couldn't be easier (as long as you pay attention and the steak is thick enough). It really is as simple as 1. keep the heat medium, 2. cook 10 minutes on each side and 3. rest for 15. Anything else you do to it is just gravy.
