It doesnt necessarily tenderize the beef, instead, it gives it a pleasant chew - which is why its best served medium rare.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14277482.post-42289043428904161602009-09-27T01:36:12.561+08:002009-09-27T01:36:12.561+08:00omg i just saw this! yay you wen't to the sher...omg i just saw this! yay you wen't to the sherwood hotel! definitely looks like a splurge! at least its all you can eat, right? the dessert bar must be wonderful!DessertObsessedhttp://dessertobsessed.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14277482.post-85236082976310825142009-06-20T17:21:47.073+08:002009-06-20T17:21:47.073+08:00koji: i think i like my steaks juicy
kirbi: yes, ...koji: i think i like my steaks juicy<br /><br />kirbi: yes, the salad and dessert bar are what you remember, right?<br /><br />fabio: i heard A-Cut steakhouse is really good. you can also try Robin's Grill or Ruth Chris.<br /><br />anonymous: no prob. thanks for the feedback. the $-$$$ has changed over the years, and is a bit subjective and I try to name prices of dishes or pics of menus so people can get an idea of how much things cost. in general, in my mind, $ is something under US$5 or NT$200, $$ is around US$10-$20 or NT$300-650 depending on what you order it could be more. $$$ is over US$40/person but i probably need to have a $$$$ for really expensive places. <br /><br />the reason i priced toscana at $$-$$$ is because the set menu is US$100, but you could totally order off the menu and get a pasta for around US$20 dinner. some places only give you set menu option, but toscana doesn't.joanhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04929132028327934282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14277482.post-81008883323079274922009-06-13T18:53:08.103+08:002009-06-13T18:53:08.103+08:00I LOVE your website, but had one little quibble: y...I LOVE your website, but had one little quibble: your pricing scheme of "$-$$$" doesn't give much clarity to the reader. I'm pretty sure that at $100/person, Toscana should be as high up on your scale as it goes (unless there's some $500/person restaurants here in TPE). Can you clarify this please? It'd help a lot! <br /><br />Keep up the great work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14277482.post-46128620503749338432009-06-09T15:37:07.847+08:002009-06-09T15:37:07.847+08:00Hey I love your blog, I'm from San Diego and c...Hey I love your blog, I'm from San Diego and come here often and have kept track of a few places (sharing soon). Since I don't speak Chinese I take pictures of the menu items I like too :) <br /><br />I'm still on the look for a really good steak house here, so I'll try the sherwood after I try the Cosmopolitan Steak & Grill which is supposed to be having a two for one ($1 dollar second dinner) <br /><br />Great blog, keep it up!<br /><br />http://www.cosmo.com.tw/assets/menu/cosmo-menu-small.pdfFabio Arciniegas A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16054944537775649900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14277482.post-78386989487866733272009-06-09T02:13:00.848+08:002009-06-09T02:13:00.848+08:00I went here last summer.
