Modesto Marini's Marble 8 is all about big, fat, juicy hunks of meat

The beef tenderloin arrived flame-licked to perfection.

With its big-name backing and fantastic food, a visit to Marble 8 is certainly one worth bragging about.

Admit it: Although Kuala Lumpur is awash in steakhouses, a sublime hunk of fillet is as difficult to come by as the lost city of Atlantis. So imagine the arched eyebrows when Marble 8, another meat joint, materialised on a piece of prime KL real estate in May, boldly proclaiming itself “the finest of its kind in the country”.
