Western

We ordered Tater Tots ($7) to go with the burgers and it was the best decision ever - they are crispy, aromatic and oh so addictive.

The Truffled Mushroom Burger ($13) features a juicy Black Angus beef patty with truffle mayo, sautéed mushrooms, cheese and caramelised onions between two soft Brioche buns. The Shabu Burger ($14) comes with thinly sliced Black Angus yakiniku beef, bunashimeiji mushrooms, onion and sesame sauce between two Brioche buns. The flavours of each burgers are on point, the different ingredients complement one another perfectly and this is one sloppy delicious mess🤤

The fork-tender Iberico Pork Ribs is coated in a barbecue sauce that is not too overpowering and there is a good balance of meat and fats. However, the baked potato wedges are a little under-seasoned and underwhelming.

The Grilled Seabass with Saffron Veloute is delicious. The seabass is fresh, tender and moist, and it goes well with the aromatic saffron sauce. The gnocchi served on the side adds a nice chewy texture to the dish. Love the flavours and texture!

The Confit Mushroom, Iberico Chorizo and Fried Egg is served on a bed of sweet Japanese leeks. Savoury and tasty!

The Rendang Chicken Lasagne ($18.90) is a flavour bomb. Minced chicken that is cooked in rendang cream sauce is stuffed between layers of Bechamel, Mozzarella and Grana Padano cheese. The layers are not too thick and doughy, the filling is moist and the rendang sauce is rich, savoury and flavourful. The portion is huge as well - perfect for hungry days!

For mains, I had Mentaiko and Ikura Cream Sauce Spaghetti ($20). This could have been quite jelak but the savouriness from the Japanese cod fish roe and salmon roe helps to cut through the richness of the mascarpone cream sauce. This is pretty tasty and my plate is wiped clean in no time.

This is my first visit to Luka and we started lunch with Tuna Tartare ($24). The combination of Negitoro (minced tuna), crab meat, avocado and ikura is fresh, creamy and full of umami, and it spreads like a dream on the crispy bread.

The Prawn Aglio Olio ($16) is the bomb - the tiger prawns are huge, crunchy and succulent, and the al dente linguine tossed in olive oil, garlic confit, mushroom, chilli and Italian parsley is very aromatic. Love this!

Steep’s Breakfast ($19) comes with sourdough toast, eggs, turkey bacon, herb sausage, avocado, sautéed mushroom, mixed greens, tater tots and roasted tomato. This is a very hearty big breakfast and I love the variety found in one plate.

The BBQ Iberico Secreto Char Siew ($90 for 400g) is one of the most tender char siew I have ever eaten. It is not very fatty but the meat is super soft and moist. The zesty pineapple salsa goes very well with the sweet, savoury and smokey notes - love it!

The Grilled Seabass with Mussels, Coconut and Yellow Curry ($50) is really delicious. The lemongrass coconut sauce is rich, earthy and flavourful, and it complements the natural sweetness of the seabass.
