Old Klang Road Food: Afterwerk Bar Scott Garden Kuala Lumpur


Old Klang Road is the latest in property booms in Kuala Lumpur and one of the most happening places is The Scott Garden @Old Klang Road where its nightlife is vibrant and lively scene, hosting a number of bars and pubs in the vicinity.


We visited the revamped Afterwerk Pub Scotts Garden (nominated by Yelp as one of the Top Pubs in Kuala Lumpur) which has recently revamped its menu offering with a number of new dishes that caters not only to drinking fans but also for the family as well.


Afterwerk Pub Address

With live music featuring live bands that serenade the oldies and current popular tunes, it will make dining at Afterwerk a lively affair especially after a hard day at the office. The restaurant also hosts various performances, from local and international music acts.

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. Each day will also be thematic i.e.bring you a different party atmosphere.

Bangsar Cafe | Table9 Cafe & Kitchen @ Jalan Telawi 3 Bangsar Kuala Lumpur


There are many cafes situated in Kuala Lumpur City Centre and Bangsar that offer tantalising all-day brunch fare, quality coffee and tea, as well as sinfully sweet desserts in charming and unique settings. 


Today we get to taste out the new friendly Bangsar neighbourhood cafe that serves Italian food with Korean cafe inspiration. The owners of Table9 Cafe & Kitchen are from Korea and the master behind these secret recipes! For the cafe hoppers, you may want to try out Table9 Cafe


Table9 Cafe & Kitchen Address
21, Jalan Telawi 3, 59100 Bangsar

Our review started off with a simple order of the Japanese Cucumber (15.00) that is served with a spicy sesame dressing. This dish is served chilled and the thinly sliced cucumber was crisp to bite into with a mix of a slightly spicy taste. A refreshing start or as a palate cleanser dish.


At Table9 their main mission is to serve delicious dishes while using healthy ingredients and seasoning to make one of the most joyous healthy salad offerings as in the Sauteed Mix Mushrooms Salad (RM18.00) that is served with Grana Padano cheese and are lightly dressed with a Balsamic dressing that gives a slight sourish taste to this salad.


The Table9 All Day Breakfast (RM25.00) serves with chicken sausage, beef bacon, grilled tomato, sauteed mushrooms, hashed potatoes, for the eggs, you can choose either scrambled or sunny side up egg and toast with butter and Jam (ours as above picture came with a french toast (top up RM1.00 and for a top up of RM2 you will be able to order it with pancake) 


The next dish is the BLT Sandwich (RM24.00). which is serves with a thin slice of turkey bacon, lettuce and tomato on a toast. 


For the meat, we had the Chicken Jager Schnitzel (RM29.00). It is a traditional German dish made out of cutlet of chicken meat and is served with a mushroom gravy. To add a special taste, the chef has also included a slice of lime to add a distinct flavour to this dish.


Pasta is a versatile dish that is easy to cook but in the wrong hand it might be a total mess but at Table9 the Jalapenos Pasta (RM24.00) was done to the right perfection as the pasta was just the right texture that we like.


Our second pasta is the Table9 Picante Seafood Pasta (RM28.00). This pasta was cooked with an array of seafood which includes the mussels, white squids and prawn. It has a slightly sourish and a spicy taste which went well with the seafood combination.


The last mains that we had is the Table9 Picante Cream Risotto (RM28.00). I am not a real fan of Risotto, if you are a fan of Risotto and loves seafood with a spicy undertone, this might be a good option for you.


For desserts, the Bingsu is a must try. I love the super fine and flaky milk flavoured shave ice. It literary melts in the mouth. We were told that the machine that shaved out this super fine shaving; is very expensive and fully imported. The first Bingsu is the Espresso Bingsu (RM15.00). The espresso was served in a separate container and is poured over the shaved ice. 


Next, we had the Tomato Bingsu which was highly recommended by the owner. I kind of like this as it is served with a special tomato puree. There are in total 8 different flavours that you can choose from.


Our last one was the Oreo Bingsu which is served with the crush Oreo topping with drizzles of condensed milk. 


If you are looking for a relaxing afternoon with an aromatic cup of freshly brewed coffee (Korean beans) and some Instagrammable dishes, Table9 might be a good option to start with.

Pak Loh Chiu Chow Starhill Gallery Bukit Bintang - Week Day Set Lunch Promotion



In the heart of the city lies a well-known Chinese restaurant in Star Hill Gallery, Feast Village called Pak Loh Chiu Chow Restaurant. This restaurant is the golden sister of the world-renowned Pak Loh Chiu Chow in Hong Kong that dishes out authentic Teochew or also known as Chiu Chow delicacies for decades on the island.


Pak Loh Chiu Chow Restaurant Address
LG 12 Feast Village
Starhill Gallery
181 Jalan Bukit Bintang
55100 Kuala Lumpur
Tel: 03 - 2782 3856


Now, everyone can dine in style and experience the depth and breadth of Pak Loh Chiu Chow's famous award-winning Executive Chinese Chef Alex Au. Chef's creations with the brand new lunch menu featuring Week Day Set Lunch whetting appetites of those looking for a quick, affordable and yet delicious meal.


Starting our review is an Appetizer Of Roasted Duck With Butterfly Bun, Seasonal fruits & A Glass Of Juice. All sets with price starting from RM 35 onwards include the main of rice or noodles which come with an appetiser of Roasted Duck with Butterfly Bun, seasonal fruits and a glass of juice.


The first set that we tasted is the La Mian Soup With Bacon & Seasonal Vegetable (RM 35.00). For me, the star of the night would probably be this La Mian Soup which is served with house made bacon and seasonal vegetable drenched in a thick, concentrated and hearty pork bones broth which take hours of slow brewing to extract out the full flavours of the ingredients. 


The second set is the Stir Fried La Mian With Pork & Seasonal Vegetable (RM 35.00). Fried to an aroma filled with the charred of the Wok Hei, it is a real treat to slurp up the springy noodles which are enhanced by the juicy and tender pork slices.


While the third set is the Fried Rice With Barbecued Pork, Prawns & Seasonal Vegetable (RM 35.00).


This is then followed by the Lemon Chicken Chop With Rice & Seasonal Vegetable (RM 35.00).  A myriad of crispy battered chicken which had the sourish tone from the lemon partnering with Chef concoction of several sauces. Love the texture of the crisp-tender meat of the chicken which marries perfectly to the sauce.


Followed by the Rice With Braised Pork Belly With Preserved Moi Choy & Seasonal Vegetable
RM 45.00.  As explained by this dish is very time consuming and tedious to be prepared, and if the steps and processes are not adhered to, the result can be disastrous. The choice Pork Neck meat was used as it has a soft texture while having the fats portion that is not overly fatty as most would use the pork belly meat.


And the last set we tasted was the Rice With Baked Sweet & Sour Spare Ribs & Seasonal Vegetables
RM 45.00. The finger licking spare ribs were braised till soft and tender, oozing with flavour. Specially imported ingredients of 'Chen Kong Prized Vinegar' from China, Chinese herbs, and with sweet coming from rock sugar,  Chef utilised red yeast rice for the natural red colouring instead of using artificial colouring for the dish, so can be assured no artificial preservatives are used for the red colouring. The spare ribs get a little sweet, but one get the pork's natural flavour and the tang of vinegar is a nice contrast.

 
Apart from the Week Day Set Lunch dishes, diners can choose a variety of a la carte dishes from Hong Kong Roasted Meats, Chiu  Chow Marinade, pork, chicken cuisine to healthy soups, porridge, noodles, fried rice, eggs, vegetables and much more. The first we tasted was the Braised Spring Chicken Stuffed With Glutinous Rice, Garlic, Ginger & Straw Mushrooms RM 45.00.  A highly nutritious tender spring chicken thru the tedious cooking process of braising the chicken is stuffed with fragrant glutinous rice which was pan-fried with ginger and mushroom to enhance the flavour. To ensure it's cooked through and retains its juiciness, this dish is cooked under low fire for more than 2 hours.


Signature dish of Pak Loh is the Slow-Braised Goose With Pork Fillet, Pork Intestine, Pig's Ear, Egg & Beancurd - RM 45 (Small) RM 80 (Regular)


Honey Barbecued Pork RM 40.00 - Well-marinated in Chef's special sauce of premium 'Mui Kwai Lou', Hoi Sin sauce, Char Siew Sauce and oyster sauce, the pork belly is oven roasted to perfection. Fat melts through the meat making it luscious and buttery with a smooth mouth feel as it melts on the tongue. 


Pomfret Porridge (RM 45.00) - For those that might not like to have a heavy meal can opt for the bowl of super comforting fish porridge. The porridge broth is the result of boiling three different types of fish bones such as Red Snapper, Grouper and Seabass for the extract sweetness. The end result is a lusciously creamy and superbly rich fish flavours porridge that are served with a generous portion of pomfret meat slices.


Double-Boiled Pork Tripe with Pepper & Salted Vegetables RM 25.00


Our last dish is the Stir-Fried Kailan With Fresh Lily Bulb & Halibut Fish RM 40.00 - A lovely simple stir fried vegetable dish with rich flavour coming from the fragrant Halibut fish. The dried Halibut is deep fried and added to the dish to enhance the taste and flavour. Adding in some fresh sweet and crisp Lily Bulb, it gives this dish a multi-texture feel.
