Par two of My HY's Steakhouse Guam Tips with more Pictures.

Hy's Steakhouse Guam is the local franchise of the International Canadian Chain of Hy's Steakhouses (they also have franchises at Hawaii) but I find it Ironic that they serve USDA Steaks here instead of Canadian Angus Steaks. Hy's Steakhouse was founded by a Russian-Jewish Canadian Immigrant Hy Aisenstat in 1923 and it grew and has branches all over Canada and they have franchises of the Steakhouse in the Mainland United States, Hawaii and here in Guam. Still, I must eat at one of Guam's most expensive steakhouses as everyone knows that I'm a steak man and don't scrimp on costs. This luxe steakhouse is located at the Lobby Level of the Holiday Resort Hotel and the average costs of steaks here at guam like lone star steakhouse or at TGI Fridays is just $ 25-38 while here at Hy's its $ 35 to $ 65 for the steaks. They Only Open at Dinner and You Don;t need any reservations to go here.

Hours:

Mondays thru Fridays 10:00a.m. to 5:00p.m.
Saturdays: 10:00a.m. to 1:00p.m.
Sundays and Holidays - Closed

Favorite Dish: What else but the steaks!!!!!

If you are into Prime Rib Steaks, a 16 Ounce USDA Aged Prime Rib is $ 37.95
Roast Prime Rib of Beef, a 13 Ounce is 36.95 and 20 ounce at 47.95
Fillet Mignon, A 16 Ounce is 47.95
Their Specialty and the one I ate is the "Their only" new York Strip Dry Aged 14
Ounce USDA Medium Steak at $ 60.95

There are many outlets selling Godiva Chocolates in Guam (like the DFS Galleria, ABC Stores, SM Store) but only one Sell Both Chocolates and the Famed Godiva Chocolixirs! and that is the ONLY BRANCH of Godiva Chocolatier Store in GUAM. Locted in La Plaza Mall of the Outrigger Hotel.

I may be a fan of Hershey's and Swiss Chocolates but nothing still beats the luxe brands like Godiva! (But My All Time Favorite is VALRHONA).n Although Made in Belgium, Godiva chocolates are creamier and has a more cocoa and chocolate taste and literally melts in your mouth due to the high chocolate butterfat content and the higher pure chocolate content so it is more expensive! unlike the other chocolate brands which dilute the cocoa with extenders like lechithin and vanillin to make the chocolate cheaper. Godiva Chocolatier doesn't do that hence the expensive price. Godiva also sells truffles, coffee, cocoa, biscuits, dipped fruits and sweets, "Chocolixir" beverages, wedding and party favors and other items arranged in gift baskets. Godiva's signature package is the Gold Ballotin (French for "small, elegant box of chocolates"). Godiva also produces seasonal and limited-edition chocolates with special packaging for all major holidays. Godiva also has license agreements for the production of ice cream, cheesecake, coffee pods and liqueur that comes in several chocolate-related flavors.

Hours: 10:00 am to 9:00 pm everyday

Favorite Dish: Chocolixir drinks are an established part of Godiva’s domestic offer in the mainland US where various recipes of the icy, chocolate-blend beverages with toppings of whipped cream are available including raspberry, mint, dark chocolate and milk chocolate. They are now available in GUAM.

If you buy the assorted chocolate drinks and brews like the Chocolixir, it's $ 6 for a cup and for chocolate tipped fruits like the strawberries i purchased, it's $ 8 per piece. and the single very decadent assorted chocolate truffles at $ 19 for 8 pieces and $ 38 for 16 pieces! a small pure chocolate bar like 85% pure dark chocolates at $ 5. such a drain in your wallet but is worth it since I don't scrimp!!!
