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.

Famous Marshall’s Burger @ Burmah Road, Penang

19/03/2013 No Comments

I guess for the pass 6 months is the big buzz off Burger and Cafe. In KL we have quite a few famous one like MYBurger Lab or street Burger Kaw Kaw (which is now overrated) with different version of it. In Penang Island, Marshall’s Burger had been a hit for the past 6 months with them starting selling burger at the road side in Pulau Tikus area, opposite Belissa Row that you will not miss a long queue at night after 8pm, this would make them hold the title Penang Best Burger. Not only that, the best part is they sell pork too.

Few months down the road, now they have successuflly bring the brand to another level by operating in a shop lot at Burmah Road or next to Penang Plaza.

A shop that filled with simple decoration in a old building with wooden menu that place all their signature burger on the wall.

Sitting place in here is rather limited as I was highly advise by my best friend to head there early, and I was lucky that they do operate for lunch on Weekends. as for weekedays only at night.

Menu is rather straight forward with few choices to choose from or different meat.

People like me, sure will do add on’s

Onion rings are pretty good by frying to perfection that its crisp inside out with Marshall special sauce, its like a combination of bbq with light sour sauce, will pair very well with beer. .Ended up order another portion RM 6.50

The Biscon with 2 beef patty, 2 cheddar cheeze and bacon@ RM 15.80

Classic Beef @ RM 8.90

For pork lover, you can opt for this .. The Boar that comes with 2 patty, 2 cheeze and bacon @ RM 16.50

Here is my special verison of burger as I order only The Bull – with 1 beef patty and cheddar and I add on with 1 pork patty @ RM 6

Then we deconstruct the beef patty . . .

Grill till the meat is just nice, not too dry yet not too solid as in between have slight airy feel. Just nice.

here is my pork patty and I find beef taste better.

Those who do not prefer beef or Pork you can go for chicken which is Bacon Special Chicken Thigh with a cheeze and patty @ RM 8.90

The burger is pretty good and their amazing signature is the sauce that makes the whole thing different. Only set back is the bread that they are using, not so fluffy and its doesn’t taste fresh. Sauce is good and if they can intorduce another 1 or 2 more then its perfect.

For this kind of price, its definitely a great bargain, and will surely return again.

If in Penang its will be a top notch place and good enough to satisfy your burger craving. Please do not compare to other joint in KL.

My friends are all a good fan of this brand.

Customize a Pork Burger at Fatboy’s Burger Bar @ Publika

28/06/2012 7 Comments

Publika had bubble up with many F&B restaurants as it had become one of my latest hit place to hunt for food. After reading numerous blog on Fatboy’s Burger that I walk pass many times yet could not find many friends to go with until last few weekends. Some good review pull our expectation up on that day and gearing up ourself to hunt for this sinful big burger. The brand that originate from Singapore and now it had kick off their first outlet in Malaysia.

A outlet which is easily located right above the Non-Halal Food court (Eat Food Village) facing their mini staging area. We were there early that day as 11.45am still yet to open and I thought it was close for the weekend as I see many customers try peeking in, to check on their outlet including myself.

Well, they open 12pm sharp that day and instantly many people just dash in to get a seat for themselves and family members.

Settings of the ambiance is pretty cute as the wall are filled with cartoonic drawings and I find that the seating is a bit like modern canteen.

As Excited to see on the menu, I am totally impress with the wide selection of burgers and all description look goods too me. Felt like ordering half of the menu. 😀

I also got to known that one of their signature is from The Milkshake Bar for drinks filled with thick Malt.

If you could not find any of the burger suits your liking in the menu, then you can customise your very own burger. This would be an interesting one on your creation.

First start of mine with Vanilla Malt Milkshake. It was heaven when I first sip it that its super thick that you had hard time sucking it up as its serve along with frozen glass. Love the texture which is creamy from vanilla ice cream and milk taste did not over power it. Just love this glass of milkshake as I love mine dense yet not too sweet. RM 12 – Recommended

Onion Rings is next as we saw the serving on next tables look so tempting and huge, as upon our order came, it came in different size that ours look much smaller and more oily. A bit dissapointed with this @ RM 12

Jamaican Me Hungry. RM19.00 – bacon stuffed pork patty topped with sundried tomatoes, chewy bacon, homemade coleslaw and smothered with mayonnaise on sesame seed bun.

Well, this certainly did impress with the pork pattie grill to perfection as it is not overcook, yet can taste the pork texture that is a bit chewy and filled with bacon and I added on mustard sauce to perfect it.

AS do not know what to order and came this sign recommended which is their signature is Fat-Basterd @ RM 28 – sesame bun, extra thick double beef patties, extra thick bacon, cheddar cheese, fried egg complete with Fatboy’s homemade BBQ sauce

Its a huge burger and I think it just fit me perfectly. :p homemade BBQ burger was perfect with egg and cheeze, sadly the patty was overcook and it is dry and well done. If it was in medium well, then perfect.

Mahalo @ RM18.50 is another pork burger that we order. More like Hawaiian style

Wimpy @ RM 19

Since in the menu mention that the burger are serve medium well, on the day itself they all serve all Well done which is very dissappointed on the serving on the beef patties. Nevertheless, I can say that they do not have the consistancy as my friend went a night before, she said that the patty was done medium well and it was perfect. AS for the pork is quite alright.

Well, shall go another round to try out and for 4 of us to dine a total bill of RM150 I find it reasonable. I hope that my next visit I will request my patty to be medium as to be on the safe side. Would encourage to request rather than leave what they mention in the menu.

Christmas Dinner, Bubba Gump @ The Curve

29/12/2008 No Comments

Nothing much to do on Chirstmas day, and hungry as well during dinner, so called up my buddies for dinner. Decided to go to The Curve to hunt for food. After every one do not know what to eat, the restaurant I choose got banned from them and we ended up here. Bubba Gump. All of us have not tried before. So AGREED by every one.

The interior is quite classic. Did tried to take a few pictures and the girl on the first table keep staring at my camera direction. Lol..Gotya..on Candid..!!! lol..

This is our table, which I find it very unique. Every table have different design. Definitely nice for photo.

We started off with a starter, Onion Rings, whereby I see alot of people ordering this. Definitely it is much nicer compare to A & W. It does not goes well with BBQ sauce but Goes very well with the other sauce(don know what sauce is that). We ended up get 2 more extra for that sauce. It cost RM14.90

Here we are, with our onion rings style. From head to body.

After left 2 of the rings, I decided to ask Jason to tried to mix it with cabbage and 2 of the sauce. RESULT: “It taste horrible”, that is what he said.

This is the first main dish which is Salmon & Vegie Skillet. Honestly, this food looks nice, the taste is not really good. 1st, the salmon overcook makes the whole fish abit solid. 2nd, the whole thing is salty, we think that the chef might had accidentally put alot. Thought of sugar but it is salt. The vegie is also over cooked. So the whole dish, we did not finish it. Left half. Price for this RM35.90. With the quality like dat, not worth it.

This is Bourbon Street Baramundi. The best among all those. Definitely highly recommended for those who loves fish or go to this restaurant. The fish is just so soft, feels like when you have a bite in your mouth, it is soft and smooth with the perfect sauce they mix with it. Just perfect. The mash potato is very nice. Milky and buttery taste. The fried pieces of potato mini strips, goes well along with the mash potato or just eat it like dat, its crunchy and a bit salty, but nice. It is price at RM29.90.

This dish is called Shrimper’s Heaven. I think they can rename it to Shrimper’s Hell because the shrimps that they serve in this basket is totally not fresh expect only one(6 o’clock shrimp). The rest all hopeless. When you bite in your mouth, it is not hard on the shrimps, it feels like ashes. GELI. Hate to eat shrimps with that kind of feeling. This dish is Totally BANNED and the most expensive of all RM44.90. (WTF) with this kind of little serving and quality. Totally disappointed.

Only 1 more left for this food comment. The chips are nice. Taste better than the shrimps.

The desert is called Mama’s Strawberry Shortcake. What we wanted to order all already finish which is their signature desert. Which in the menu, the order will be the 1st(chocolate in glass) and the last(Cinnamon thingy). Ended up we have to force ourself to order this.

Well well, to much our complain during the meal, as closing for the whole dinner, add on another disappointment. The shortcake taste more like pancakes. The cake is warm, not so hard, salty mix with sweet strawberry sauce and with ice-cream. The whole thing does not goes well. The other cream thing also taste weird. Disappointed desert. Cost us RM16.90. Rather have another Onion Rings.

Total bill is RM 180. Which I find it kinda expensive for the food quality including 5% gov and 10% service charge.

Will try again some where in the future. Hopefully wont let us down again.
