Having tasted the fine dishes of Mr RYU in the past we were excited to visit the collaboration between Kaya Izakaya x Mr RYU in Chapel St Prahran.

Service here is impeccable.

We also enjoyed speeches from family members, exceptional aged and current wines, as well as fine entertainment (including a band and a quiz). One of the events of the year and such a privilege to attend.

The Carpetbag Steak is a dish that has a storied and somewhat mysterious history that dates back to the 19th century. Although the exact origins of the dish are not well documented, it is believed to have originated in Australia during the time when travelers would carry their belongings in large "carpet bags". The dish is made by stuffing a large cut of steak with oysters, which were plentiful in Australia, and then grilling or broiling the steak to perfection.
The history of brunch in Melbourne can be traced back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when the concept of brunch first emerged in Europe and North America.

Steak is a classic dish that can be cooked in many different ways, but there is a simple, tried and true method that will ensure a perfectly cooked steak every time. While many Melburnians prefer to cook top grade steak on a BBQ, it may surprise that cooking a steak in the oven can achieve optimum results. There's nothing worse than spending big dollars on a prime cut only to overcook it. How do you like your steak? We prefer medium-rare with a pink centre that oozes juicy flavour. I've been cooking using the method below, recently with a rib-eye from Dench Butchers in Forest Hill Chase Shopping Centre (this is not a sponsored post).
