Where do we get the best prime rib in Hong Kong besides Morton's and Ruth's Chris? How're the two restaurants here in this city? Been there?When and where is Lawry's to be?

Ruth's Chris do excellent steaks as does Lardo's in Hang Hau.

A friend of mine the trade tells me it is still impossible to get good corn fed mid-western beef.

Lardo's brings in Australian beef.

US beef is back, but you can't get any with bones in.

I had some New Zealand Grass fed Beef recently and it was a revelation.
You dont need grain in the cow to get top grade beef.

It is not available here, but hopefully soon.

Nearest for a grassy NZ staek would have to be Seoul

Feeding grain to cattle has got to be one of the dumbest ideas in the history of western civilization.

Cows, sheep, and other grazing animals are endowed with the ability to convert grasses, which those of us who possess only one stomach cannot digest, into food that we can digest. They can do this because they are ruminants, which is to say that they possess a rumen, a 45 or so gallon (in the case of cows) fermentation tank in which resident bacteria convert cellulose into protein and fats.

Traditionally, all beef was grass-fed beef, but in the United States today what is commercially available is almost all feedlot beef. The reason? It's faster, and so more profitable. Seventy-five years ago, steers were 4 or 5 years old at slaughter. Today, they are 14 or 16 months. You can't take a beef calf from a birth weight of 80 pounds to 1,200 pounds in a little more than a year on grass. It takes enormous quantities of corn, protein supplements, antibiotics and other drugs, including growth hormones.

Lawry's is now open at Lee Gardens, for those who do not know yet.
Although I think Morton's should be a better opition if you want really good piece of steak.


Prime grade beef from the US is expensive at the moment. Only really for those who can really afford it. I think the Angus beef is also very good quality and not as expensive. However, geeting good quality and some value for money, Australian Angus beef is a very good alternative.

Lardos also does US beef. Though I prefer the Australian stuff myself.

So I went to Morton's. Shared a prime rib of 27 ounces with a friend and still had a leftover of 1/3. The side dishes were good, especially the giant baked potato. So as the shrimp cocktail. The upside down apple pie was not too bad. Now I want to try Lawry's.
