Melo’s Restaurant: A Good Reputation At Steak
Melo’s is the first restaurant to offer certified Angus beef steaks in the Philippines, at the time when the words “certified Angus beef” were unheard of. Before we can understand the goodness of Melo’s restaurants, we need to understand the beef. So let’s get to the meat of this article.
What does it mean when a steak is made from Certified Angus Beef?
Angus cattle are originally bred in Scotland. They are born and bred to have no horns, thus the term “polled livestock.” There are several reasons why cattle is preferred to have no horns: these horns pose a threat to cattle handlers and the machines used to mark and examine them. Certified Angus beef go the extra mile than just having no horns. Their meat is more marbled and they have less than one inch of fat.
Wagyu beef and Kobe beef
A small confusion in terms, Wagyu refers to the breed of cattle whose meat is greatly marbled while Kobe Beef refers to beef of the Tajima-ushi breed of Wagyu cattle. Kobe beef is particularly expensive because the Tajima-ushi cattle is bred only in the Hyogo Prefecture of Japan, the capital of which is Kobe, thus the name. Because Kobe is prohibitively expensive, Wagyu producers in Australia decided to cross-breed the Tajima-ushi breed with good quality local Angus. The result? Beef that is as greatly marbled as Kobe Beef without the Kobe Beef price. Not bad eh?
Melo’s serves some of the best Wagyu steaks in the Metro today. Having been around for a long time, Melo’s Restaurant strives to deliver only the best steak experience for you and your family. Melo’s is located on Jupiter Street, Makat City.
