Since I was still feeling a little hungry despite eating granola bar earlier, I ordered Sarafina Pancake with cherries (RM 18) and I requested to change the vanilla ice-cream to chocolate flavour. The ice-cream were melted when it was served to me so I felt like eating the crepe in a flood of chocolate. I am definitely not ordering dessert here anymore.

The Kudu Bar has a tasty Singapore Sling cocktail. The ambience inside is very cosy and reminds one of those community pubs in KL residential areas of in London.

Out of Africa has been around for ages, but its menu never changes. That's certainly not a complaint, since some of its offerings are nearly as rare as rhinos in KL. Ostrich carpaccio. Fairly similar to regular beef carpaccio. A light, delicate starter, ideal for whetting the appetite. Ox Tongue Kalahari with mustard sauce, spinach & carrots. This, on the other hand, seemed nutritionally balanced, with lean protein and guilt-free veggies. The tongue was irresistibly tender and not gamy at all.

Oxtail stew cooked in "potjie." Rustic comfort food; the stew was super-thick, brimming with soft chunks of potatoes that went so well with the oxtail.

Braaied Boerewors (farmer sausage made of lamb, beef & spices, cooked over coals). Hearty, with a fine bite to it, though the flavor wasn't too memorable.

Bobotie (ground beef curry). Kinda like a bolognese preparation, except with a pleasantly nutty & fruity taste, without the tanginess of tomatoes. Not spicy, thankfully.

Out of Africa has been around for ages, but its menu never changes. That's certainly not a complaint, since some of its offerings are nearly as rare as rhinos in KL. Okavango pumpkin soup with Mielie corn bread. Best savored on a rainy evening. The broth was aromatic and steaming hot, while the bread tasted deliciously sweet and fresh. Biltong.

Chicken liver pan-fried with peri-peri sauce. An acceptable choice if you like liver, though some of the chunks seemed somewhat dried out inside.

Yes, it is real tiramisu - with Amarula and brandy; I think tiramisu without alcohol is a sham!

It's a tiny little portion, but delicious enough that the RM22 is worth it. Just the right balance of cake base and mascarpone cheese that makes everything light and fluffy; but it would all mean nothing if the cake base isn't soaked with Amarula (which gives a strong coffee-taste) and brandy (which gives caramelish sweetness and a woody aroma). Of course, the right amount of cocoa powder is important too, and they didn't fall short here either.

The final product is the initial creaminess, quickly followed by powdery chocolate texture and flavour, then the light cheese taste, followed by an intense burst of what tastes like caramel coffee with a strangely pleasant bitter aftertaste. It's that bitter aftertaste that makes you wanna dig in to counter with more sweetness - and that's the vicious delicious cycle.

The most important characteristic in lamb, if you ask me, would be its tenderness. In this regard, Out of Africa excelled - the meat falls off the bone, but the flesh isn't overly soft that it feels like a bunch of mush. While the overall flavour was pleasant, it seemed to lack a little something and tasted very one-dimensional - and it was immediately glaringly obvious. It tasted saltier than it tasted anything else. Not a bad lamb, but not a great lamb.Oh well, the fries were hot and plentiful

Oh well, the fries were hot and plentiful, and the buttered wilted spinach was delightfully aromatic and easy to eat. Steam carrots didn't seem to belong there (they should be braised/stewed with the lamb) though.

I like my beef lean, which makes rump meat a good choice for me. One of the leanest parts of the cow, and a relatively inexpensive cut. The problem with rump is that it's usually a little tough (but still juicy and wonderful), which is good for those who prefer their meat with a little bite. Personally, I don't prefer the relative toughness but the flavour and lower price makes it worth it.At Out of Africa, they serve their rump as a kebab (but still ordered like a steak - with your choice of d

I like my beef lean, which makes rump meat a good choice for me. One of the leanest parts of the cow, and a relatively inexpensive cut. The problem with rump is that it's usually a little tough (but still juicy and wonderful), which is good for those who prefer their meat with a little bite. Personally, I don't prefer the relative toughness but the flavour and lower price makes it worth it.

At Out of Africa, they serve their rump as a kebab (but still ordered like a steak - with your choice of done-ness). I like mine medium-rare. It took me a little effort to eat (due to my problematic teeth), but the flavour of rump meat was so ruggedly meaty. Given the option of several sauces, I immediately jumped at the option of blue cheese sauce which I think is strong, yet the rump meat stood up against it very well.

Side dishes include wilted spinach, carrots, and mash. I loved the wilted spinach - it was so buttery and creamy, it almost didn't occur to me that I was eating green vegetables. So, so good.

The mash is smooth and dense, the way it should be. To me there's never a good excuse to mess up a mash - it's too simple and should always be done right (and they did).

Probably wouldn't be my prime choice if I wanted beef or steak, but nevertheless a good choice when location or price are among the factors influencing my destination for beef.

I've always been a fan of desserts and tiramisu is no exception. I've had tiramisu with alcohol or non alcohol and though both has different taste, I would say having tiramisu with alcohol is the proper way to enjoy the layered mascarpone cheese. The tiramizulu from Out of Africa is soaked in Amarula and Brandy. There is a real 'kick' to taste and texture of the dessert. The mascarpone cheese was smooth and went down easily.

Rump Kebab: A steak lovers treat – 200g served with a choice of sauces (RM40)

I was surprised at the superb tenderness of my lamb shank. Though I have tried better ones in Ben's GFS but here, it had further bumped up my benchmark of how good a lamb shank could be. It was very juicy, sans the gamy taste of lamb that most would find it irritating.

Boyfriend selected the rump kebab, reason being, he could have blue cheese sauce for his kebab! He was that crazy about blue cheese
Though I rarely have kebab, this was very good. The beef was cooked medium rare; tender and juicy, just how beef should be. Paired with the exotic blue cheese, it was a real kick to my taste bud! I wasn't a big fan of blue cheese but it did go very well with the rump kebab.

The sides were pretty decent for both dishes. I liked the side vegetables that came with my mains. Compared to coleslaw, I surely go for this! For both of the dishes, we spent RM54 instead as we were utilizing the MyDeal vouchers of RM27 each. However we went on to try their tiramisu, which is made of Amarula and Brandy.

This was the BEST tiramisu I have ever had. The cake base absorbed all the essence of Amarula and Brandy, giving it enough moisture and intensity of flavor. I love their rendition of tiramisu as Amarula gives it sweeter note to the dessert. It was the best RM22 spent!
