Ever since our favorite butcher, Fentons Gourmet in Happy Valley closed its doors we lost a great place to get high quality beef for our barbecue nights. Even the high end supermarkets (Great, Oliver’s, City Super) couldn’t satisfy us. Then our friend at Geoff’s Twitchen posted a writeup of his winter barbecue and mentioned an online place for steaks called The Porterhouse. From his pictures, it looked like it was worth trying.

A search on their website www.porterhouse.com.hk mentions that the operations is headed by James Fortier, who previously was the General Manager of Morton’s The Steakhouse in Hong Kong.

Calling itself The Porterhouse, naturally we ordered a 35oz Australian Angus Beef Porterhouse steak (HK$370/US$47). We also tried their New England Jumbo Sea Scallops (HK$212/US$27 per pack of 10). Ordering online was simple and promptly delivered the next day, right on time for our weekend barbecue.

The package arrived in a nice cooler bag and the steak was individually wrapped and tied with their signature Red Ribbon, which signifies their slogan “Our Red Ribbon Is Your Assurance of Quality”. There was also a handwritten note from James, a nice personal touch. Our Porterhouse was from Australia, but they also have USDA steaks as well as seafood and other meats.

The steak was very juicy and tender. Compliments to the chef (C). The scallops were a good size and matched the steak very well for a nice surf and turf.

We will be sure to bookmark The Porterhouse and visit whenever we have a crave for great steak…which is quite often.
