Chapter One @ Desa Sri Hartamas

11/07/2013 No Comments

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.

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. 😀

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

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.

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.

Their food range is pretty okay . .

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.

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

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

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

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.

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 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.

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. .

Pork Meatball

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.

Pan-Seared Black Bass @ RM26

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.

Braised Lamb Shank @ RM38

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.

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

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

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

Fa Ying by Rama V @ Paradigm Mall

25/03/2013 No Comments

Sometimes, hunting nice food is when you look at some pictures that you like and you go for it. So often that I hear this modern Thai dining serve pretty good food is Fa Ying by Rama V. I get to know this place when I saw my friend insta it while they are enjoying their meal there. Then not long after that see them Insta again. Then it got me very curious about the place and food and its a recommended place by them.

Since my friends birthday is around the corner, therefore I suggest this nice restaurant for birthday dinner.

Get to know that t Fa Ying means “princess” in Thai and by that you would nod your head once you know that it is connected. That is how I feel I am connected when I first saw this place. 😀

At night this whole restaurant look pretty comfy with nice lighting and set up with bar in the middle of Fa Ying by Rama V.

Sitting outside at night without wind can be like in sauna . . .

Starting to love this place when I they have happy hour buy 1 free 1 all day long. AT times before movie will drop by for a drink.

Offering in this Fa Ying by Rama V seems pretty good as I have asked my friend the list what is the must have item and she recommended a few.

This is something new to me as Watermelon salad is something light and simple to start off with, sweet and burst with watermelon juices, light mint taste and goat cheeze is added to make the taste more kick. @ RM 12

In salad range, I was asked not to miss out their signature Pamelo Salad with Prawns @ RM16, mint leaves are added along, light herbs taste in between and the pamelo is sweet sour base that pair with the ingredient very well.

Thai Fish Cake @ RM 12

It will never be complete if you step into a Thai restaurant without ordering Tom Yum, the version here is rather mild and serve along with 2 slices of toast bread. Bread is good but to pair with thai soup its a bit weird.

Pinapple Fried Rice is pretty good as fried to fragrance and pineapple taste did not overpower the rice.

All ala carte order comes with this bowl of thai fragrant rice and a bow of thai salad. Thai salad is popular among the rest as the sour base and spicy end makes it nice.

Follow by our mild spicy Curry Duck. Duck meat is not too hard yet cook to perfection that the gravy is slightly thicker and coated well on the duck meat. Love this dish.

Phad Thai is like one of my favourite dish. Will try to order if available or not to full. Thin noodles here are pretty good, and did not fried too dry, slightly moist to my liking. Serve along with peanuts and bean sprout to stir all together along.

Prawn Speghetti

Clearly Roasted duck sandwich @ RM20++

Is the clear winner for the night as it was gone within seconds. Smack in between 2 slices of toast Ciabatta with combination of duck, vegetables and sauces is just nice. Fa Ying by Rama V

Here is the biday girl and her cakes.

Of course my usual order placement of cakes will be from Fatboybakes.blogspot.com

Lastly, for the celebration and we were told their signature cocktail that we shall not miss is Marquessa @ RM100, uniquely served in a huge fishbowl as the mixture of the drink filled with dragon fruit, cucumber, burnt orange peel, Absolute Blue, white wine, soda and 7-Up. Nice to drink and can at least be share with 5-6 friends. If you are a cocktail lover, then this is one of the item you shall not miss..

For a pork free restaurant to come out with this flavorful dish, I must say I am impress. Total bill for the night came out RM650. Not bad for a recommendation.

06/04/2012 No Comments

I guess many people like me out there, that do not really know actually in Empire Shopping mall there is actually a hotel there as when I got invited for this bar, I got surprise to discover on that, nevertheless, I am impress on the business hotel, on their facilities and pricing. Definitely a good place to stay when comes to affordable pricing.

A few types of draft beer is also available here too . .

This is Shout Musical Longue whereby you can choose to be seated indoor or outdoor. On outdoor you get to enjoy the view of Subang as below . .

Not a bad view yet the outdoor area I kinda like it which is not too warm that they provide powerful fan to keep us chill.

When I saw their menu in pricing, its pretty cheap with buy 1 free 1 on happy hour and definitely one of the place to consider for after work.

Besides the pricing on alcohol that catch our attention, their food menu and quality definitely a catch with head chef that had many years of experience and all the food that prepared for the night were superb!

If you ask me to rate on the food, it definitely stands on 8/10 which is recommended on my section.

In a musical bar, how could you not have a band on stage to play you some music. For this round, Empire Hotel had taken a step to get all jazz lovers to pack on this bar as the get these 2 talented person from abroad one is from Singapore and one is from Australia to play for you as they have played various part in Sydney, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia and now again Malaysia.

This duo will be presenting you their original compositions as well as their own interpretations of jazz/latin standards and contemporary classics, performed on vocals, piano, ukulele, bass and pianica. In the scene at overseas, they are know as Polkadot + Moonbeam.

After getting all or food and sipping our beer, while the start performing, most of us stop eating for a while and amaze on her voice, that it is so good that near to originals of the song. For the night, they sang, some English, classic Mandarin and Malay songs that blew us away.

Sure a good place to listen to them sing that makes you relax if you love this kind of music. One of their performance. Do check it out .

The Library @ Straits Quay, Penang

20/03/2012 No Comments

Straits Quay seems to be bustling with alot of F&B coming in with the latest addition that create a wave to many youngster in Penang to hang out and chill is Library that had finally hit the shores in Penang. Ahem! it is not the Library that we go during school time, it is the Library that most young adults prefer to go as this Library had a style of its own that create a similiar ambiance with book shelf and books and they make it with bar, lifeband and of course alcohol to flow within the premises.

This outlet is no stranger to many of KL people as where they had started quite some time ago.

most of the time the place is pretty filled up with its ambiance which is unique to the whole area. What my friend told me that some of the outlet got affected but still, we are pampered with a few choices to sit down and hang out with friends.

This is what I mean fun filled and packed! That many prefer to sit outdoor its beause with sea breeze and if there izint wind there, its pretty humid and by drinking beer you will start to sweat.

They have liveband in the house .. .

One of the reason that I would only visit Library is during their Happy Hour Promotion . During their normal hours I find that their rate on beers is slightly higher than other outlets.

They provide pretty good range of beer choices during Happy Hourz.

Of course I have the opportunity and would grab the happy hour promo and sip my lovely Hoegaarden Beer Draft which is a beer generic that can drink buy both sexes.

Surprise Desert session at Morganfields @ Pavilion

22/02/2012 No Comments

It has been a while since I last visited Pavilion that I have less reason to be there now after I have moved. Traveling down town is just being lazy except there are friends from overseas that came over or any special occasions or events to attend. Well, we bought a discounted voucher from a website to try out this outlet Morganfield’s which is doing a discount of RM 25 voucher for RM15 which i think about 40% off which quite a value buy, so we decided to give it a try.

Morganfields is located at the GSC Cinema wings or directly next to Overtime Pavilion. One of the reason we to get this voucher as Morganfield is Europeanized American casual diner specializing in pork ribs. Pork Ribs how can we miss that? Not many outlet that serve that even the famous Tony Roma’s also serve without pork (which is their signature too).

Standing right outside the outlet and it was full house on Friday night, every one just hop onto bar and restaurant to get out from work as its heading weekend to chill with friends, thank god that I made my reservations which I am used to it already.

They have outdoor area too especially for smokers.

I love their interior design or would love anything which actually have simen wall/ interior base that create their own style of ambiance.

Happy Hour certainly a good buy . .

Love this bar dining section as the cool dim lighting just lit it perfectly.

Interior with red brick wall, wooden planks, tables and chairs just blend the whole concept very well.

I was suprise that I was given what they so called VIP room. Its great to be in here as it is quieter compare to outside with full house and every table talking, just imagine that. One of the set back in this room is, its a bit hard to look for waiter / waitress as it is a bit hidden.

Long hot day, so we ask the waitress what is nice for such weather and Cucumber Apple Mint Spirit was recommended! indeed it is a great drink with hint taste of cucumber that mint taste blends in very well and apple base at the in make it a perfect start. – REcommended~ @ RM 13.90

Mango & Lime Lassi taste good just that one of the set back of it is the lime and its skin was blend along too that make it bitter with every sip. If without the skin in it, it would have taste perfect. RM 14.90

Smokehouse Club Salad @ 17.90

As all of them wanted to start off with some thing light then salad was the first dish to arrive. Chicken meat breast was being the top of it and nothing special to shout about.

Cheesy Fries is something similiar to Dog food(click here) that we have tasted yet much better as this is Morganfield version. The whole plate was covered by cheeze and with some dippings to go along, certainly if beer was pair along with this, its a good combination and for the price of RM 14.90, its a good bargain with its portion.

I didnt have this much for Tequila Spiked Chicken @ RM 32.90

Ribs & Ribs – RM 65.90

The signature for their outlet, pork ribs, being grill to soft and their bbq sauce is nice to pair along with its meat and we have opted for 2 sauce in here, BBQ sauce and Black Pepper sauce. On my preference, I just prefer this with their in house BBQ sauce. Black Pepper just taste weird with pork ribs.

Lamb Chops was a bit overcook as its had turn to solid meat, burn the taste of the lamb taste and if it were to cook a bit medium well, would have been just fine. RM 49.90

I find this Pork Chops is one of the best after the ribs with its texture of meat is soft and blend well with their special sauce. Something to look after for the price that they are offering. RM 29.90

Then funny thing for the night is, I wanted to order desert to end my meal, all of them give me many excuses to order later with:

– wait la, 2 of them went toilet

– eh, you got eat desert after dinner 1 meh? I thought you don like desert

– wait for me to finish my meal 1st la.. I was like huh? order first la.. “wait wait wait”

– can I have the menu please, “har u want to order d ah” can you please just wait for the rest to come back?

– Me- where they go so long eh..I want to order my desert now! ” others reply – okay, we help you order right after we came back from toilet!

To my suprise, cakes were served along with them and it was a suprise bday arrangement from them. No wonder I cannot order my desert. . .

These were the crazy friends that celebrated with me on 2 weeks ago.. Thank you guys~ Hugsss!~!~!~

As every one left, I took again a picture of this area. Just love it.

Morganfield is one of the outlet I would just drop by for a drink as I find the food so so only, and on the pricing wise, its a high to pay for meal like this..

I prefer Chicago Ribs House (click here) over this, in terms of price and food quality . .:D
