A stop at Victoria Station

Yesterday WW treated us to a meal at Victoria Station. I had heard about it before, but none of us had ever been there. We ordered three dishes to share among the five of us.

mixed platter, RM61.90
From left: sausage wrapped with ham, chicken pâté, lamb, chicken, and beef smothered in sauce

salmon and lamb (also one of the mixed platters), RM52.90
Tartar sauce and mint sauce were given later; a waiter came with sauce bowls and spooned some onto our plate

I asked for the mint sauce to be given separately so that it wouldn't flood the plate, which was lucky, because it wasn't very good (not much mint taste). The tartar sauce, on the other hand, was pretty good.

We asked for the beef to be done medium well, and it was better than the lamb. It seems that Victoria Station is better-known for its steak than its lamb. In the restaurant, there was a sign proclaiming its steak, and even its chilli sauce bottle (with a specially printed Victoria Station label) said that it had the best steak in town (but everyone says they have the best in town...)

Victoria Station fish and chips, RM29.90
Tartar sauce given later, like for the salmon

We were each given a soft bun at the beginning of the meal, before the main dishes arrived. That came together with a roll of butter for each of us (by rolls, I mean the curls that you get when you use a knife to scrape from a block of butter).

To keep within budget, we ordered plain water at 90 sen each (other drinks were crazy expensive, as is common in this kind of places). That made the bill come up to just under RM150.
