Meat Feds, Petaling Jaya

Meat Feds is a non-halal steakhouse in Petaling Jaya built around the cuts most Klang Valley steakhouses ignore. While almost everyone else works the same three premium cuts — striploin, tenderloin, rib eye — chefs Yenni Law and Shelly Saw went the other way, and now hold a Malaysia Book of Records entry for the highest number of secondary cuts of steak on a restaurant menu: 20 of them.

That is not a marketing line so much as a workload. Law began studying secondary cuts in 2017, and the kitchen still puts ten man-hours a week into butchery — processing the cuts, portioning them into single steaks, vacuum-packing them for the menu.

What to Order at Meat Feds

Order something you have not heard of. The premium three are the easy default anywhere in KL; the reason to come here is the other seventeen, and the fact that someone has spent seven years working out how to cook them.

For a steakhouse in Petaling Jaya, or secondary cuts of beef in PJ, Meat Feds is the only kitchen in the country making this its whole argument.
