Beef Steak - Well Done

This is the definition of Steak from Wikipedia...

A steak (from Old Norse steik, "roast") is generally a cut of beef sliced perpendicular to the muscle fibers, or of fish cut perpendicular to the spine. Meat steaks are usually grilled, pan-fried, or broiled, while fish steaks may also be baked.

Beefsteak
 The more tender cuts of beef, from the loin and rib, are cooked quickly, using dry heat, and served whole. Less tender cuts from the chuck or round are cooked with moist heat or are mechanically tenderized (e.g. cube steak). Steak can be cooked to a level of very rare (bleu, a cold raw center), rare, medium rare, medium, medium well done, or well done. 

 To appreciate a Beef Steak that is cooked well done.. I'd rather see, feel, smell, and taste it first hand.. :) This is the Beef Steak from a hotel in Mauritius... thanks to my company for the sponsor.. Enjoy.. :)

They are my buddies that fits perfectly to my camera bag.

Spaghetti and Steak

I had the chance to dine for lunch in one of the restaurants in Cape Town, South Africa. We usually eat lunch in the hotel but it is Sunday, the hotel's restaurant is closed.

My colleague ordered spaghetti and mine is steak with steamed rice. :) I will not have a full meal if rice is missing.. he he he 

We ordered from the menu at it takes 20 minutes to cook our meal. You need to have a lot of patience to wait for the food.. otherwise you must take your lunch in KFC or McDonald's.

Finally the wait is over and our meal is served. Good and real food needs time to be cooked. :) Enjoy!!

The smell of the sauce is mouth watering.


Steak is served.

Steamed rice is not as good as Dinorado rice of the Philippines.

British Airways Serves Good Sandwiches

British Airways serves good sandwich even in short flights.

















In Cebu Pacific.. they serve nothing and they sell something.. :) he he he. A bottle of water at P50.. a can of soft drinks for P50.. a sandwich cost P100. But you can bring your own meal.

Words of Wisdom
"When travelling with Cebu Pacific.. buy a Jollibee Regular Yum Hamburger = P32 and a bottle of water = P12. Total damage = P44. Cheaper than Cebu Pacific's bottled water" :D

Cathay Pacific Hot Meals

Hot Meals for long flights is a relief to hungry tummies. This is usually served for flights that is longer than 3 hours otherwise you will get only a sandwich.

Beef in curry sauce with mashed potatoes... not good for Asian who prefer to have steamed rice in every meal. :(
The thing that I enjoyed was the
Häagen-Dazs chocolate ice cream.. first time.. he he he :)
















Fish and bacon with omelet.. again this is more of an American or European breakfast. :(
















I have to eat this meal even I don't like it.. It a matter of need and not of want. An advice for acidic person like me.. Don't drink orange juice on flights.. it will surely turn stomach to go wild and crazy to the rest room.
