RockPool - Most expensive steak in Perth

In order to "celebrate" my one-year anniversary in Perth, a bunch of us decided to try out the best steak in Perth - at RockPool Bar and Grill.

This restaurant in Burswood is opened by celebrity chef Neil Perry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Perry), his 3rd branch in Australia.

The restaurant showcases top-quality produce. The beef is all Australian, expertly aged and prepared on the premises. Rockpool Bar & Grill has its own butcher and there are five tonnes of meat in its specially constructed ageing rooms at any one time.

The facade:
Posh and classy entrance....

Behind this door is a dimly-lid pathway to the dining area:
As you walked through, look at the glasses on your left and right, you might find something interesting.
They actually showcase their aging steaks....

Starters:
The yellow cuboid on the wooden tray is not a bar of soap. It is actually some f***king good French butter which is so smooth and will just melt in your mouth the moment you eat it.

RockPool also has an extensive range of wine. Their wine menu is actually thicker than a novel!
After some recommendation, we decided on this Pinot Noir.

The Food Menu:
Rockpool Bar & Grill is not cheap.

Steaks range from AU$49 for the 29-day aged skirt steak (240g) with most hovering around the $50-$60 mark. David Blackmore’s 29-day dry aged full blood Wagyu Rib-eye (200g) tops the list at AU$119. (SGD$160). I ordered it!


200g steak for SGD$160 !!
This is what it looks like
Marble score 9+ ... lots of fats in the meat.
The meat is truly heavenly.... tender juicy meat which melts in your mouth. Definitely the best steak I have had so far.

Would we go back? Yes, without hesitation! Although the price is a bit crazy, the ambiance, service and food quality is definitely unparalleled in Perth. :)

Probably alr working the maths in yr head, how much you're paying for, for any portion given away. HAHAHA..
