Sometimes, its really good to have a nice neigbourhood bar or I consider those outlets inside Hartamas is part of neighbourhood driven. Nevertheless, there is one new bar that open its door few months back and just recently discover on it. I did pass by here many times and notice on it as just didnt pay a visit till 2 weeks back. PReviously was another pub and now being taken over by new group had turn it into Chapter One.

Then our funny question came about, where is Chapter tWo and Three. Eventually we found out that their future expension is going to go along that line, to mark on how many outlets they have.

Chapter One (1)

something I love about this place is they comes with free Jockey service and this definately give them an advantage to many players in this area and for ladies, you don have to be worry cuz their service is from 6pm till you drunk. Love how they put it their operation time. 😀

Chapter One (2)

Chapter One (3)

with new management, it also means the whole interior also change, as its more nice and love how they cleverly redesign their bar.

Chapter One (4)

I was there from 7.30-11pm that nite and this pool table were never once empty. It was being monopolise by those few guys the whole night and of course with the rules, winner stay.

Chapter One (5)

Chapter One (6)

They serve 5 GAB draught beers (Guinness, Kilkenny, Heineken, Strongbow, and Tiger) ranging from RM12 up to RM16 for a glass, RM17 to RM23 for a pint and RM45 to RM60 for a jug. There are no happy hour for beers, but the ala carte price for the beers are reasonably priced. So, that’s beer hours for all day long! Apart from these selection of beers, there are also other beers sold in bottles.

Chapter One (7)

Their food range is pretty okay . .

Chapter One (8)

And since they have something new in this outlet, the bar manager creatively combine a few beers to make up his very own special beer cocktail and its in the menu now.

1) Strongbow Mojito – On our hot day, this will comes in good. Refreshing as it comes with a few flavours. Apple do pair well with this as Strongbow do have sweet end taste.

2) The Sex on the Beach is a mixture of Skyy Original, Peach, Cranberry and Orange juice.

3) Strawberry Daiquiri, mixture of Bacardi Carta Blanc, Creme De Fraise and Lime Squeeze. The presentation is cute.

Chapter One (9)

Beer Cocktail Promo with a choice of 2 form the list:

Chapter One (9)

Let me introduce you one of my favourite unique beer cocktail first. Comes with A mixture of Guinness, Bailey’s and Irish Whiskey.

Chapter One (10)

The Irish Whiskey is added into the glass before dropping the “bomb” (Bailey’s).

Chapter One (11)

Once the bomb is dropped, this need to be drank up immediately! Love the creamy feeling and once down, you burp and you feel the heat in your stomac. Its something like Flaming Lambo but this is the beer version. Perfect gift for birtday boy and girl.

Chapter One (12)

Other beer cocktail I find it interesting is of course

1) The Snack Bite Black Pint looked like a sunrise in a pint. It is a combination of Strongbow Apple Cider, Lager and Blackcurrant

2) this name caught our attention – Lunch Box for a beer cocktail name, it’s catchy.. Lunch Box is a mixture of Lager, Orange and Amaretto Disorono..

3) Previously I have seen so much about the posting of this combination of Strongbow and Guinness but yet find any outlet that promote it and now this outlet has it.. Its a bit smooth on the top cuz starting off with Guinness and further down its a great mixture of bitter and sweet end. Not bad~

Chapter One (13)

Chapter ONE Seafood Salad consists of prawn, mussels, cuttlefish, onion rings, croutons, coral lettuce, olives and cherry tomato, served with homemade thousand island dressing. I must say, the salad do impress me and its pretty good.

Chapter One (14)

If you are here for their live band and beer, then Crispy Pork Ribs is a MUST HAVE! The pork ribs are well marinated with fermented bean curd and served with sweet and sour homemade Thai chili sauce. It is serve pipin hot, with a bit crips on the end and aromatic. Perfect to go along with any alcohol on your table. .

Chapter One (15)

Pork Meatball

Chapter One (22)

Chapter ONE Sliced beef consists of grilled Angus Beef slice served with Japanese Soya Sauce and Wasabi. Its pretty good stuff, and for a price of RM 18, its a good bargain with many slices and its juicy.

Chapter One (17)

Pan-Seared Black Bass @ RM26

Chapter One (19)

Classic Pork Burger here are done with homemade style. weight about 200g per patty served with melted cheese, grilled red pepper, sauteed onion, mushroom and potato fries @ RM 28.

Chapter One (20)

Braised Lamb Shank @ RM38

Chapter One (16)

Their Spaghetti range is not bad too. We took off with Spaghetti Carbonara @ RM18 light creamy base although I always prefer mine to be thick as not many people like that. This is more generic.

Chapter One (18)

Spicy Seafood Aglio Olio Pasta not the best but certianly better than quite a number of places. With hint of garic spaghetti moist enough. @ RM23

Chapter One (21)

Pork Meatball Pasta would be better if the sauces can be slightly more sourish. @ RM20

Chapter One (23)

Another extra point for this outlet is that their live band is good and its available everyday EXCEPT SUNDAY. Service here is good too.

I believe many of you do notice the new empty building next to True Fitness along Sprint Highway heading towards 1-Utama. It looks kinda empty at the moment and with ample parking which is an advantage to this new outlet called Mezza 9 that just operated in the area for just about 3 weeks old. Its very easy to locate as they are the only outlet currently operating as F&B in the building.

[update Aug 2016: Close Down] 

Already manage to capture a good drinking crowd and we arrange to go try out this new outlet as they serve Mediterranean Food and heard that they hire a good chef!

mezza (1)

After opening its door and put my step in, they have very nice interior that again heading more towards of modern New York cafe style. A simple design that make it look elegant and a comfortable place to dine.

The restaurant is seperate into 2 floors that on the ground level are meant for people to enjoy dining experience also a Non-Smoking area.

mezza (8)

Wild Mushroom Soup  @ RM18 filled with finely chopped fresh mushroom cook till creamy yet not too salty at the end. Just as I preferred my mushroom soup to be.

mezza (9)

To many first people’s impression on French Onion Soup   is am I drinking soy sauce ah? In this case the soup is well prepared that cook till the onion is very soft till near to melt in your mouth as upon you drinking it and it bends towards more salty taste. @ RM12

mezza (10)

Garden Salad with Balsamic Dressing  @ RM18  is a very simple dish that serve upon yet flavourful and would turn into a perfect dish for a person who is on diet!

mezza (11)

Caesar Salad @ RM 18

mezza (12)

Another thing that you shall not miss is their Bruschetta range. Salmon Bruschetta (2pcs) @ RM12. Generous with their ingredient as you get a roll of salmon added on top of cubes of tomato with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and finely chopped parsley.

mezza (13)

One of my favourite for the night is Mushroom Bruschetta (2pcs)  @ RM8, with its creamy sauce flwoing just like that, and smell of the well cook mushroom flows on our nose trails just makes us want to put this whole piece into our mouth one shot. – Recommended!

mezza (14)

Calamari with Homemade Tartare Sauce  @ RM12 is a simple starter and would pair better if you have a glass of beer along!

mezza (15)

The super star dish for the night is this Braised Oxtail (4pcs)  as we take pictures on it we already swallowing saliva with the nice smell that it flows out. A perfectly braised dish that the meat is soft yet flavourful . Just makes you want to have more. – Highly recommended! @ RM16

mezza (16)

A simple dish and flavourful with hint of black pepper at the end and pair well with the tomato sauce is this Meatball in Tomato Sauce (4pcs)  @ RM12.

mezza (17)

When it was served upon, I was like why is the salmon burn a bit .. 🙁 yet this would be my frist time to try on something new for Honey & Grain Mustard Glazed Salmon  @ RM48. To our suprise, as we cut it, it is soft not as it look and the taste to pair along with honey mustard makes it a great combination.

mezza (18)

Another one of my favourite is Mint Marinated Rack of Lamb with  Fondant Potato and Roasted Cherry Tomato  @ RM45 that is prepare medium with a bit blood flowing out upon cutting it. The mash potato is something we cant stop eating.

mezza (20)

Mezza9 Fusion Seafood Paella  @ RM40 (double servings)  RM25 (single servings)

mezza (23)

Well prepare in medium with its meat juicy and tender.

mezza (24)

Profiteroles (2 serving per portion)  @ RM18

oh oh.. their signature desert, also another dish would love to recommend is Chocolate Lava cake with Orange Cream Anglaise @ RM 15. It was prepare pippin hot, that a simple cut break the crust of the cake and chocolate just ooze out, just cant stop eating this.

If you are asking me where to have a nice meal and certianly this would be one of the place to recommend! I guess one of the reason the good food came out is that they have a Chef from Sentidos Tapas, Starhill.

I used to travel to Jakarta quite frequent and did event stay there for a month leisure and business few years back. Since then my Indonesian friend brought me tried out a lot of their local street food and it just taste good. Since then I am back here, the only shop that taste near to that country so far that I have tried is Waroeng Penyet and Ole Ole Bali but now, there is another restaurant called Little Warong Jakarta that newly open about a month ago that cater authentic Jakarta food that more towards Javanese.

[no longer in operation]

Jakarta

The restaurant is located nearby KFC and it wasn’t hard to find afterall..

Jakarta (2)

The whole place was decorated in more like a old classic kopitiam style as according to Remus, most of the shop that operate good food is have something similiar to this kind of ambiance. The wall are covered with many pictures of Jakarta from olden to modern days.

Jakarta (5)

This little hut that serve the unique desert.

Jakarta (6)

More of the classic kopitiam style.

Jakarta (7)

This pictures remind me of all the street food hunting i went with my friend during my period of stay.

Jakarta (8)

If you feel that you want something different for the day, they sure do have special set menu.

Jakarta (9)

Not only that, to get used of some Indonesian snacks, you are able to try before you buy… so please go ahead and Tri Me.

Jakarta (10)

Some indonesian snacks.

Gyuniku Beef Noodle House is a hidden gem in Desa Sri Hartamas that I actually did not know that located directly behind of the famous Soul Out actually hidden another small shop which I find that their food is actually quite good. If not because of my siau gang from Penang bring me here, I sure would not discover another new shop in the area. .

Gyu

Gyu (2)

A very classic shop of noodle stall or I would say modern style if you are comparing with food court or the road side stall. Cosy area and friendly staff had just make our day a perfect start and the owner also speak hokkien. 🙂

Gyu (3)

I was there for second round so I was more like a taster rather than a diner. They order ‘Beef Ball’ which I find the taste rather strong in taste which I prefer it to be, a bit spicy yet sour and the authentic beef taste is detected. RM 7

Gyu (4)

‘Beef Rice’ as the look of it already makes me want to eat it even though I am full from the first round. Soft beef slices add on with the mild gravy that makes the rice flood with gravy is just tempting as it is. RM 10

Gyu (6)

If you are a person who loves spare parts, ‘Brisket Rice’ is recommended by me. The black peper sauce which is just right to cover the taste of the brisket yet its chewy and a bit soft that doesn’t makes it too hard or over cook ( at certain places) is just perfect. RM 11

Gyu (7)

Not a big fan of ‘Fish Ball’ therefore I find it rather normal.

I am sure that I would return here for second round to actually sit down and enjoy my simple dish of beef rice.
