She did appreciate the quality of the fry on the pieces of fish, though, and thought the sauces were delicious.

Descalsota was stunned at how beautiful Ramsay's Malaysia restaurant was. It was opulent and looked more luxurious than the Michelin-starred restaurants she had dined at in other countries in Asia.

Descalsota ordered the classic beef Wellington, Ramsay's signature dish. It cost a hefty 290 Malaysia ringgit, or about $67, for a slice of the famed dish.

While the dish looked nothing short of scrumptious, Descalsota felt it was too rare and the flavors weren't anything out of the ordinary.

Descalsota also ordered some mac and cheese, which cost 50 ringgit, or about $11, making it one of the least expensive items on the menu.

Descalsota topped her dinner off with strawberry trifle, one of Ramsay's signature desserts. It was creamy, fruity, and balanced.
