pianomania: SUKA MAKAN: PORTERHAUS @ SERANGOON GARDEN WAY WITH ROSYTHIANS (CLASS OF 1977, SCHOOL I)

I spent just one year (Primary Six) at Rosyth School, however have become part of a small oldies but goodies reunion of its Class of 1977. Every few months, its members organise a makan session, trying different eating place that takes place just a short distance from the old school. Simply put, many still stay near where school was. This place was Porterhaus on Serangoon Garden Way.

On this occasion, four members drove up to Kukup and Pontian in Johore for a super makan seafood session, and returned to have dinner with the other four members who were less "mobile". I belong to the latter group. They even had a vote as to what cuisine to have, and Western won. So, we headed to a new steakhouse restaurant called Porterhaus, which is just seven months old.

The early non-Johore group comprised
Boon Mui (Clara), Bee Eng, Jeffrey and TL.

As the Johore contingent were still stuck in the Second Link, the rest of us placed our orders. The ladies shared a steak while the guys had a dish to their own. After an hour or so, the sojourners finally returned with photos of their seafood conquests in Pontian, the freshness of which cannot be over-emphasised. We enjoyed our steaks and listened in envy, so another trip up north is going to be organised.

I had a rib-eye steak with garlic sauce

The ever health-conscious Jeffrey
opted for the red snapper and wine.

The ladies shared a tenderloin steak.

Anyway, Porterhaus is a very decent place to hang out. The selections are plentiful and reasonably priced. The portions generous, and the service excellent. Those who partook of the wine had no complaints. So now I know of a new choice for the Kent Ridge Fine Music and Steak Appreciation Club (No Vegans Admitted) to visit.
