Fullpann Steak House @ Seri Manjung, Perak
May 19, 2009 | 8,012 views## (Updated 20/10/09) – Notice that this steak house has been renamed to Foos Steak House. Not sure if they’re one of the same, but exact location as Fullpann, nevertheless. ##
Question : Where would YOU go for a romantic/decent/fine-dining/pricey meal in Seri Manjung? Let’s say, for Valentine’s, birthday celebration, Parents’ Day, or even company lunch/dinner where you know bingeing on Sitiawan cendol or Hock Chew cuisine or Nasi Ayam just wouldn’t cut it? (Even more so for the last reason, when the bill’s on your BOSS or company!! Hahaha … but let’s not digress here. Ahem).
Soft, yellow-hued lighting rendered the dinner experience with a touch of class. Bad for photography though.Answer : Fullpann Steak House is a potentially suitable choice; the divine light comes a-shinin’, when ideas are running low, and you know you wanna splurge on a memorable dinner, with steaks, chops, wine and all. (Sans the candles, but the soft neon glow may do just as well)
Only a handful of shots of the surroundings, as we were rushing like mad.This dinner was a somewhat last minute decision. And with only about an hour and half to spare, we had to travel all the way from Teluk Batik to Manjung for a meal, and then rushed back and refreshed ourselves. The additional (yet ironic) barrier came in the form of TRAFFIC JAM (yup, this devil‘s everywhere!) along the road leading to the naval base (TLDM). And then to pour salt into our dejected, maggoty wounds (grumbling stomach aside, we were fatigued from the day’s ordeal), a whole entourage of media was dominating at the very last traffic lights, blocking traffic flow to a screeching halt. Their purpose? That infamous Jom Heboh campaign at Teluk Batik. Uh-huh.
Japanese Chicken Chop @ RM14.50But we’re no mere pushovers, no sirree! We persevered, drumming tummies aboard a bullet train-speed Vios, and reached in the nick of time. About less than an hour for a meal at Fullpann. Impressive driving skills aside (hehe, not mine), the restaurant was thankfully inviting from the outlook, warm from the service rendered, and food arrived in a matter of minutes. OK, about 15 of them, but I ain’t complaining!
KYT’s Japanese Chicken Chop arrived first on our table, two deboned fillet of chicken cooked with a slightly sweet, more to savoury type of gravy, resembling Teriyaki sauce. It’s a giveaway for sure, from the ‘Japanese‘ moniker given to the dish. Served atop some broiled vegetables, a baked potato, and a buttered bun, the dish may not be mind-blowing, but yet delicious enough for the hungry soul. I nicked a piece, and the chicken was marinated well, and the seasonings seeped through the skin, thus the meat was not of the usual bland, frozen horror.
Roasted Spring Chicken @ RM20.90Spring chicken’s usually a miniature-sized chick, may NOT even be enough to feed a light eater with waistline of 25″ and below. But at Fullpann, their spring chicken could almost passed off as a REAL, true blue one, even Fire Optics was havin trouble finishing his portion. And as expected, I stole a bite, but found the gravy to be a little too peppery, probably from heavy lashings of black pepper.
Braised Lamb Shank @ RM25.90Memories of Secret Recipe’s PREVIOUSLY impressive lamb shank still plays vividly in my mind now and then. Back then, a serving was priced at less than RM20. Now? The price jumped to about RM30, and the quality’s sorely dropping.
Fullpann seems to take pride in their steaks, and lamb. The recommended lamb shank was surprisingly not served in a bowl (stew-like), but served on a plate, with some sides such as corn on cob, bun and greens. The gamey flavour’s evident, but that’s exactly how I like my lamb, with strong, pungent taste and meat falling off the bone. The thick, flavoursome gravy went really well with the shank, and I polished off the portion (trust me, the REAL serving was way bigger than it looks in the pic above) myself without hassle.
Spiralling, convulating, twisted lives we have. Share them over a dinner with some friends?
Though the setting may appear to be intimidating, fret not you’ll need to pay an arm and a leg for a decent meal here. In fact, most items are priced below RM20, and they even offer set lunches at RM12 daily. (Refer to their site @ http://fullpann.googlepages.com/home). Will I return for another meal? You bet, especially with such blistering heatwave being rampant, I’ll be willing to fork out a bit more for air-conditioning, and a relaxing meal. =P

Lingzie : yeah, i was the co-driver, so I was only weaving my stories in the dashing car. haha …
NKOTB : nolah … it was a plain dinner with friends. but may be a good option for out-of-towners, or those staying there, had they wanted a place with better ambience.
[Reply]
I agree with you. Stupid Secret Recipe only knows how to cheat people’s money. Increasing the price but reducing the quality. Not only lamb shank but many other dishes as well. Boycott!!! 😛

It is probably Sitiawan’s only steak house and seems to have a nich of its own, like an oasis in the halal desert. We sometimes have some unhalal drink at the dark pub beside it ( same young owner)
[Reply]
a good option apart from seafood restaurant.

Looks like the ultimate smalltown indulgence! For the Jap chicken chop, wouldn’t it have been a nice touch to make it Jap curry for the sauce rather than boring old Teriyaki?
[Reply]
The locals sure have their own plan when it comes to these special-but-overrated events.

ah…I was there ..but the next door cafe for my dinner on last Saturday. I did peep in this Steak House & saw probably just 2table occupied. My mum told me its little expensive for the locals here & to her the taste not deserving for such pricing? Were u there the last saturday nite?
U could also try out the town famous stall eateries at Kopitiam 777..something like that Food there is generally not bad. Is in S'wan, just opposite the town only Cineplexs.
BTW..u sure ur waist is 25" & below?
[Reply]
The Japanese Chicken Chop is named because the sauce is Teriyaki sauce? ^.^

I love reading your blog, i learn many new term to describe food! you’re my food language teacher, haha!
[Reply]
iamthewitch : previously the sets at SR come at RM23++!!! mad. but now even SR’s doing the CHEAP set lunches promo, in line with other fast food outlets.
Selba : but slightly pricey, given the fact that Manjung itself doesnt hold many cafes.
Joe: you probably havent seen timbaktoo, what’s with places such as gelong pepuyu, changkat (lada, chermin, melintang, anyone?), beruas etc?
SimpleGirl : you’re welcomed. i passed by today, and resisted having lunch there myself. haha …
BSG : agreed. even Ipoh hasvery few of such outlet for western food, promising and reasonable.
foodbin : true. esp if going in small group, whereby ordering seafood would be a trouble.
550ml jar of faith : jap curry sauce would be nice, but that means have to fry the chicken fillet?
jason : overrated? aiya … not so lah. someone came back for Mum’s Day also. =P
Hulk : a little pricey, yes. but the place was nicely packed the time i went. but it was sometime ago, roughly a month liao. 25″? hahaha … FAR from 25, trust me.
mimid3vils : how natural, eh?
