Ever wondered how beer is produced, we recently got an invitation for an exclusive VIP brewery tour of Carlsberg Brewery in Shah Alam Selangor Malaysia. This visit is in conjunction with the Probably The Best Brewery Tour Campaign. For more information how you can win an all expenses Probably The Best Brewery Tour

Carlsberg hosted a VIP brewery tour ex-beer-ience giving members of the media a sneak preview of Probably the Best Brewery Tour in advance of its first batch of contest winners. While touring Probably the Best Brew House and experiencing Probably the Best Lounge in its brewery in Shah Alam, Carlsberg also unveiled the first grand-prize and first-prize winners of Probably the Best Brewery Tour consumer promotion held in conjunction with its 170th global birthday celebration.

“The 170th anniversary of Carlsberg is a chance for us to pay tribute to the beer that is ‘always sharing’. It is all about the science that comes from beer knowledge and the art that brews high-quality beers from natural ingredients. Through Probably the Best Brewery Tour campaign, we celebrate Probably the Best Beer in the World, Carlsberg,” Lars Lehmann, Managing Director of Carlsberg Malaysia shared.

“We will reward 20 consumers to explore Carlsberg’s 170 years of beer discoveries in its homeland in Copenhagen and another 1,800 consumers to see, touch, smell and taste the quality natural ingredients of our brews through a VIP brewery tour ex-beer-ience in Shah Alam,” Lehmann added

.

From the moment we set foot at Probably the Best Lounge, we were greeted by beautiful brand ambassadors serving a buffet of welcome brews that consists of Carlsberg Smooth Draught, Somersby Apple Cider, Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc and premium Connor’s Stout Porter.

Upon learning more about the Carlsberg Malaysia’s brewery and brands through an insightful and interesting presentation by Marketing Director Charles Wong, we were chauffeured in a luxury MPV to Carlsberg’s gallery at the production plant. 

The media entourage had the chance to see, touch, smell and taste the beer at Probably the Best Brew House – a normally restricted area. At the sensory experience room, members of the press were briefed on the aroma of hops, the taste profile of yeast and the look of beer liquid with and without purification.

“Nowadays, there are more discerning beer drinkers who care about what makes of a lager or stout,” said Piotr Zajac, Master Brewer cum Supply Chain Director of Carlsberg Malaysia. "They want to know what are the ingredients used and how it is made."

While many know that wine comes from grapes, "very few actually know that Carlsberg beer comes from natural quality ingredients – namely malt/barley, hops, yeast and water" said Zajac. “Inviting consumers into our brewhouse to learn more about the natural quality ingredients and the art of brewing, bottling and packaging is an excellent way to showcase our brews."

Afterwerk Scott Garden menu

After a brief look at the Afterwerk Scott Garden menu, we find Afterwerk key forte is its meat dishes that pair well with alcohol.



We start to taste out some of the dishes for dinner which the first; is the popular Piggy Ribs Half Slab (RM 45.00). We notice that an order of this dish is a must have as we watched almost every table had this dish. Best with a cold beer.

The next dish is the Pan Seared Salmon (RM 38.00) - Salmon is one of the most healthy foods around and it is simple to just pan seared to retains its taste. This dish is served with a spicy capers sauce with a selection of vegetables and mash potatoes.

The next mains that we tasted is the Chicken Chop (RM 22.00); which you can choose either with the Black Pepper sauce or the mushroom sauce. We ordered the Black Pepper sauce that goes well with any grilled meat.

Porkyholics residing in Old Klang Road are in for a treat with many porcine dishes at Afterwerk to choose from; where our next dish is the AfterWerk Pork Chop (RM 32.00). Grilled to a nice char, it is served with mashed potatoes and a selection of poached vegetables.
  

We end our evening with an order of fruit platter as a palate cleanser before our drinking session of beers and alcoholic drink while enjoying the crooning performance of the live band.

AFTERWERK is fast becoming one of the most sought after LIVE music haunt in Old Klang Road. Featuring 2 bands daily (happy hour features the 1st band while extended hours will feature a 2nd full band) do expect the top bands in the circuit playing for you.

Sticky Wicket @ Bukit Damansara - English Style Cricket Bar

Cricket used to be a very popular game in Malaysia during the 50's thru 70's.Being the first cricket bar in Kuala Lumpur, Sticky Wicket takes pride in its British and cricket-themed menu! The restaurant is located in the cosy neighbourhood of Bukit Damansara, where you can find a plethora of restaurants and bars as well.

Sticky Wicket Address; 

34, Plaza Damansara , Medan Setia 2 , Bukit Damansara

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

A new player in this field, Sticky Wicket opened its doors in August 2016. It is already a favourite among cricket (and sports) fans! An elegant setting greets diners the moment they walk in. The dark wood and leather furniture exude a level of comfort and classiness.

Adorned the entire restaurant are cricket memorabilia; some of which are limited edition items.

We started our review with the SACHIN GARLIC PRAWNS (RM38.00) - the prawns were succulent with a firm tender texture. We loved the strong garlic taste with a slightly spicy taste to whet our appetite.

Most of the food that is served at Sticky Wicket are really nicely paired with the drinks. If you are a beer lover, this is a real good place to indulge in which our next dish MORE-ISH CHIPS (RM 17.00) that come with the rich creamy spicy salted egg yolk dip. We really like the dip that goes perfectly well with the in-house made french fries.

Next is the JALAPENO YORKERS (RM20.00) which is wrapped with cheese and turkey bacon and then sent to the griller.

Our final starters are the BAILS (RM 20.00) another in-house made dish made from 100% lamb sausage rolls that are wrapped in a light crusty pastry. It was well-seasoned with Jamaican jerk spices and came in a bowl of 5 sharing pieces.

For the mains, you really have got to try out THE GREAT BRITISH COD & CHIPS (RM 42.00). At most places, they would serve the fish chips using the popular Dory fish, but here you get the COD fish which has a much better texture and taste. Each cut, you will be able to see the white flaky flesh of the Cod fish. Served with the in-house fries, this is indeed the star of the night for us.

Next is the CRISPY LAMB SHANK (RM 55.00). The best cooking style for Lamb Shanks is braising, but here at Sticky Wicket, the Lamb Shanks is cooked using the deep-fried to a light crisp and served with a herb-infused mash potato with naughty bean sauce. To truly enjoy the meat, we have to resort to using our hand to tear off the tendon and the meat that lingers around the bones.

Another traditional British dish served here is the TOAD IN THE HOLE (RM 29.00) It is cooked with good quality sausages in a Yorkshire pudding batter, and served with onion gravy. This is Make-to-order dish, so you have to allow 20-25 minutes preparation time.

Our final mains is THE GASTROPUB BEEF RIB BURGER (RM 39.00) It is a braised short rib on a burger bun with caramelised onions, and rocket, topped with a Mac n Cheese.

To end our lovely dinner, we had 2 desserts, the first of which is the ETON MESS (RM 19.00) a Crispy Meringues with softly whipped cream, macerated and topped with fresh berries!

Our finale was the STICKY DATE PUDDING (RM 22.00), our first thought is that this dessert will be very sweet, but the chef has delicately prepared to served this with a low sweet level which was just about right for me. Served with the Madagascar vanilla bean crème anglaise cream sauce that accentuates the taste of the warm date pudding.

One of the main speciality at Sticky Wicket is its cocktails: a total of 12 special cocktails is on its menu, which is named after popular cricket players like The Smiling Assassin (Muttiah Muralitharan), Dickie Bird (Harold Bird) or the F*****g Old Tart (Dennis Lillee) to name but a few. If you are a fan of cocktails, you are in for a treat.

Overall we like the ambience and atmosphere at Sticky Wicket as it is quite relaxing. Great place to meet with friends and associates over a glass of your favourite drinks and watching those cricket games.
