[ADV] Chili's Chef Cuts Menu

It’s Christmas time! Time of the year that you get together with family and friends for a good hearty meal and gift exchange session. If you are wondering where to have your Christmas dinner this year, here’s an idea for you. Head down to any Chili’s outlet to try out their limited time Chef Cuts Menu!

Specially designed for the occasion, Chili’s Chef Cuts Menu provides patron more premium choices apart from the variety of Western cuisine served on their regular menu. If you are someone who appreciates steak, this is definitely a great choice for you!


Thanks to Chili’s Malaysia, the girls and I were able to try out all the fantastic premium cuts from their limited time menu at Chili’s Citta Mall.




Before we stuff ourselves with juicy steaks, we snacked a little on Chili’s Bottomless Tostada Chips and the Triple Dipper.

Then came the 5 types of steaks being served one after another.

Texas Trio -  RM57.95

4 oz. salmon on slaw drizzled with honey-chipotle sauce, 8 oz. beef ribs on mashed potatoes drizzled with Chili's classic BBQ sauce, and grilled 4 oz. chicken breast on corn salsa drizzled with roasted garlic BBQ sauce, all sprinkled with crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh cilantro.


This is the perfect choice for those who can’t make up their mind whether to opt for beef, fish or chicken. You get to have them all! Chili’s was no doubt generous with the sauces which blended well with the dishes.


Spicy Crab Fillet – RM85.95

8 oz. fillet resting on bed of slaw, covered with spicy crab meat and melted Monterey Jack cheese, sprinkled with crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh cilantro. Served with the new skillet macaroni and cheese.



The crab flavours weren't that strong. We enjoyed the overwhelming cheesy aroma though. Even served with mac and cheese to further satisfy your passion for cheese ^^


Chipotle Bleu Cheese Fillet – RM79.95

8 oz. fillet resting on bed of coleslaw, covered with melted chipotle bleu cheese, sprinkled with chopped fresh cilantro. Served with the new skillet mashed potatoes.


We could tell when this dish was being served as the pungent bleu cheese aroma filled up the air. There aren’t many who appreciate the smell of bleu cheese, but surprisingly I enjoyed this dish! Despite the smell, I thought the bleu cheese topping was a fantastic choice to go with steak! I like my food with lotsa spice for a stronger taste after all.

Glazed Prawns Fillet – RM85.95

8 oz. fillet resting on bed of corn salsa, topped with glazed prawns, sprinkled with crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh cilantro. Served with the new skillet macaroni and cheese.


Prawn and steak, this has gotta be my favourite dish of the night! The steak was cooked medium rare (I suggest you request for rare if you want it medium rare as that’s what we did) just the way I like it, and the prawns were juicy! No additional sauce or any other condiments were necessary as this combination itself was sufficient to satisfy your taste buds.

New Southwest Beef Ribs Fillet – RM79.95

8 oz. fillet resting on a bed of corn salsa, topped with beef ribs meat and pickled onions, sprinkled with crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh cilantro. Served with the new skillet mashed potatoes.

I thought the beef ribs topping were alright. I would have preferred having  the steak itself though. The pickled onions were indeed something different from what we were usually served though.

5 main courses done! However no meal is complete without desserts. The limited time menu comes with a special dessert as well!

Chocolate Chipotle Cheesecake - RM21.95



Layers of chocolate chipotle cheesecake and cracker crumbs topped with a dollop of whipped cream. The girls and I really enjoyed this even after all the meat.

Chili’s Chef Cut menu is available from now until 16th January 2016, so if you miss out during Christmas, there’s always New Year celebration or any other day to try out!

Meanwhile, check out this Instagram contest to win some vouchers from Chili’s Malaysia!



Best wishes from MHB. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

10 Tips to Avoid Being a Crazy Bitch in a Relationship

There is no denying that most of us have been that crazy bitch in a relationship during our ugly past. Maybe we still are, except we are now sensible crazy bitches who possess an impeccable degree of self-control. For the love of womanhood, I have laid down 10 remarkable tips to prevent you from falling into that diabolical state of obsession, and of course to serve as an important self-reminder!

1. Focus on your career
Remember your priority in life? It was never about getting the right man. Focus on your job, your goals, your life, yourself as an individual. Because if you fail, there is no guarantee that this man you are dating now will be there to support you in any aspect.

2. Engage your own social circle
Your life does not revolve around him. There is no obligation to spend all your free days with your man. Hang out with your friends and have your own activities. After all, a man wouldn’t want a clingy girl who seeks his attention 24/7.

3. Less expectations
If there is anything I learnt from the past, it is that with expectations come disappointment. If you have less expectation, chances are you are more likely to be blessed with surprises and happiness.

4. Be kind to his family and friends
Sometimes we wish our man would place us at the very top of his list. But one thing for sure, his family always comes first, and his friends are here to stay. To him, there is no certainty that your relationship would survive, but on the other hand his friendships are very likely to last a lifetime. Hence, never badmouth or get on the bad side with any of his dearest ones.

5. Don’t nitpick
It is extremely detrimental to pick fight on small little stuff. Just because he doesn’t send you a good night kiss emoji does not mean he likes you lesser now. Never waste your time making assumptions based on trivial matters.

6. Don’t seek for assurance
There is no need to seek assurance that he likes you if you already know that he does. Pushing him further would not make him like you more, but instead causes annoyance.

7. Never take his words to heart
No, by not taking his words to heart, I don’t mean to be a rebellious girl going against his words or anything. Sometimes your man may utter something upsetting, but it is entirely up to you on how you interpret the meaning behind those words. Keeping a moderate degree of nonchalance might help level up your relationship.

8. Don’t hold grudges
If you happened to have an unpleasant argument, resolve it immediately and don’t accumulate any bitter feelings. Holding grudges is hazardous to both your mental health and relationship.

9. Be independent
Some men happened to be the sole breadwinner in a relationship, but more often than not they are not (especially when you are not already married). Remember, your man is not your ATM machine or your driver. Just because you are in a relationship now does not mean that you should rely on him to do everything. In order to gain his mutual respect, be independent financially and physically.

10. Trust
The magical word in every relationship. If you choose to be with him, trust him. Do not doubt his love for you. Do not question his every movement and make things up in your head. Because you believe that at the end of the day, that sacred place in his heart is solely reserved for you.
