Char Char Bull

From the first time we went to Fremantle last year, we have always wanted to try this steak house; Char Char Bull. Finally, we did, last Saturday, for the missus' birthday.

Although we arrived some 25mins late, they actually saved our table for us, which was a surprise as we were expecting them to ring when we were still on the road at the stipulated time and they didn't. Then, add in the traffic and lack of parking spaces, we ended up pretty late.

Straight to the point, much like what I was doing that day... Our starter was the natural oysters with verjuice vinaigrette. Then the main course, I had the Rib Eye while the lady had the Scotch Fillet. Mine was as that kid said in that old school McDonald's ad in the 1980s, "marvelicious". The Scotch was less tasty as mine but still pretty satisfying, I think. Here is the rest of the menu.

Although this is not the best steak I have ever had, it is definitely one of the better ones... Off the top of my head, I can think of 2 reasons not to eat here. One, if you live in Melbourne, go to the Loft Steakhouse. Two, if you live in Christchurch, go to Oscars steakhouse. Don't bother trying Char Char Bull, but since most of you reading this don't live in either places, go try!

From an earlier post, I recommended this seafood place in Freo. Well, I have since discovered another one, in Freo. Cicerellos, the first thing I tried was the Prawn Pasta and I haven't gotten round to trying something else. Yup, it is that great. The missus reckoned I said her fish was great too, but the fact that we both cannot recall what fish it was says it all. This is not to say Kailis is not good, I just prefer Cicerellos.
