Bangsar is one of the most happening places in Kuala Lumpur especially on Friday and the weekend. Recently there is a new hang out places cutely names as "Knowhere Bangsar Bar" that serves speciality cocktails that not only pleases your thirst but comes with an impressive presentation.

Knowhere Bangsar Bar is located at 50, Jalan Maarof, Bangsar, 59100 Kuala Lumpur. Bangsar seems to be a great meeting point as it is located between Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya. It is no wonders why many will choose to meet up in this locality. More so during Bangsar Happy Hour, you get to enjoy this delicious Pork Free treat and satisfy your thirst at discounted prices.

With a casual dining environment, Knowhere Bangsar Bar is a nice place to de-stress after a long day of work or just plainly a meetup session with your buddies. According to the Chef, the dishes are a culmination of combined French Western flavours with an added twist of Malaysian to exudes a familiar taste for its diners.

Along with these crafted cocktails, the menu offering is designed to offers the diners with a nice pairing to the drinks that are served at Knowhere Bangsar Bar. You can start off with some sharing fingers food or tapas like the GRILL CALAMARI  (RM 24.80) (my personal best) as the sambal Belacan Salsa was superb. It was so good that you could literally eat it with the others dishes and for me especially went well with the Pizza too. 

Next, we had the KNOWHERE NACHOS (RM 26.80). Crispy fried corn tortillas that is served with Knowhere special sauce, guacamole, jalapenos, Monty Jack Cheese and pulled roasted chicken that can be paired with the cocktails of your choice.

For Pate lovers, you can order the CHICKEN LIVER PATE (RM 15.80). The pate is in-house-made and is served with crackers, slices of toasted baguette, dried tangerines and walnut that gives you a different texture and taste that can go with the pate.

Not forgetting the fans of the beef or meat lovers; you can try out the BURNT BUTTER STEAK (RM 26.80). The Flank Steak is seared to a medium rare done that still retains the tender juiciness of the steak and is then drizzled with chilli burnt butter sauce

Another one of the tapas that we like is the SMOKED PLUME AND PLUM  (RM24.80). The duck is smoked by the Chef and not one that you purchased which tends to be a little more salty in taste. It is served with a plum & peach salsa together with a mango sauce and onion marmalade.

Our last tapas is the MUSSEL SAMBAL WITH BASIL LIME (RM15.80). Using the Chilean Black Mussel, it is then cooked with the lip-smacking in-house made sambal with the flavour enhanced by the basil lime that gives it a slight sourish spicy taste. 

There are many other dishes that are served at Knowhere Bangsar Bar but to fill up your tummy, you might like to taste out the Pizza offering that comes with a rather different looking base which has a rectangular rounded shape. Apparently, it is a specially made pizza dough that mimics the pita bread with a texture that is in between a normal crust and a thin crust. Our first order was the AL-FUNGHI (RM 28.80) Creamy Wild Mushroom Pizza. 

Followed by the DUCK CONFIT PIZZA (RM36.80); a flambé style pizza with onion marmalade, confit onion and duck confit.

and finally the CHICKEN MEXICANA PIZZA (RM28.80). The toppings for this pizza is grilled chicken, chicken sausages with sun-dried tomatoes, jalapenos and olives.

As mention earlier, you can try out some of their signature cocktails like the Smoked Popcorn Old Fashioned or the Sirap Setan that can go perfectly with the food dishes served here.

Passione Ristorante Italiano @ Sri Petaling Authentic Italian Restaurant

Sri Petaling Soft Launch of Passione Italian Restaurant Sri Petaling

Italian Food connoisseur at the nearby neighbour of Sri Petaling Kuala Lumpur is in for a real treat as the recently opened Passione Ristorante Italiano aka Passione Italian Restaurant has just recently opened its door at 19, Jalan Radin Bagus 9, Sri Petaling, 57000 Kuala Lumpur to serve you some of its artisanal Italian cuisines.

Watching Our Video Review.

Passione Ristorante Italiano is a casual Italian dining with a cosy ambience and is the brainchild of a well-travelled Italian Chef. Chef Stefano which hails from the Italian town of Abruzzo is well known for its pasta dishes.



Here at the restaurant, he showcases his skills in the handcrafted Italian always fresh pasta and pizza offering with an on-premise high heat Wood Fired Oven.

The menu offering of Passione Ristorante Italiano features a wide selection of pork-based dishes promising pork food lovers with a unique experience of authentic Italian cuisine that is not commonly available in Malaysia.

We had the opportunity to taste out some of his special dishes starting with the AntiPasto All'Italiana which is a selection of premium wafer-thin slices of cold cuts that are paired with cheese and Italian pickles. Perfectly, matched with a glass of white wine.

Next on, we had the Spaghetti Chitarra Al Porcini. The spaghetti was made inhouse handmade and we can see it from the unique broader cross-section and the porous texture of the spaghetti.



The chef uses a tool which has a nicknamed of a guitar from which the name Chitarra is derived. The spaghetti is then cooked within a brown sauce together with the cube porcini mushroom as the sauce is absorbed into the spaghetti.

For the main course, we had the Guancia Iberica Al Montepulciano Con Verdure Al Vapore. It is actually an Iberica Pork Jowl which is braised in red wine sauce and is served with steamed vegetables. The braising was done to perfection as the meat texture is fork tender and literally melt in the mouth.

For desserts, we had the Tiramisu which is a classic Italian dessert of coffee flavoured ladyfingers with mascarpone cheese and crunchy chocolate.

It was truly an experience of the Italian way of dining and tasting the fine Italian dishes that were specially crafted out by Chef Stefano.

Passione Ristorante Italiano was set up for one to enjoy the fine art of western cuisine which has a Cocktail bar on the ground floor for some pre-meal cocktails. Among some of the recommended cocktails include the Mela Gin & Tonic, Maestro Viola, La Signora Rosa and Calamansi Cielo. The bar also serves speciality Peroni Italian Beer.

and the sizzling dish is the Sizzling Duck Chop. I must say that this is the first time; I have ever tasted a duck chop. I find it very interesting and the grilled duck drumstick chop has a firmer texture and deep taste. Marries it with the black pepper sauce, it was a real taste opener for us.

Poultry Platter

The last platter is the Lamb Platter which consists of a combination of Lamb Sausages along with a serving of Lamb Stew. Personally, I find the lamb sausage a tad of saltiness when eaten as it is but eaten with the pumpkin rice; it will mellow it down the saltiness level.
