Huat! Huat! Celebration with The Bar'n Malaysia

yee Sang

Sebrinah Yeo January 21, 2020 0

This 2020 Chinese New Year, if you haven't decided where to feast for this auspicious occasion, then The Bar'n will be the best choice to pick. For its spacious and comfortable environment that each venue carries their own special animal identity. It is a place that has the best of both world -food and drinks!

They also have Yee Sang that you can order to celebrate Chinese New Year with your loved ones!

And what's better to pair it with their amazing meals and wines or alcohol to unwind and dine through the night!

Ps. You can opt for Vegetarian Yee Sang.

We also had the Meat Lover's Platter (RM92) that combines a variety of meat like the deep fried luncheon meat fries, tender juicy chicken wings, marinated and full of flavour pork satay, smoked chicken sausage, dynamite chilli chicken sausage, crispy pork belly and the juicy grilled Lágrima inter coaster pork meat (the meat between the ribs).

Perfect to match with white wine or beer!

Then we also had the Pescatore Pizza (RM35) that is made with homemade tomato marinara with mozzarella cheese, super fresh sautéed prawns, mussels and squids!

Very appetising for a pizza and not too overwhelming. Pairs beautifully with white wine too!

I preferred red wine for its antioxidant and we ordered a bottle of their house wine just to unwind and dine the night away.

The Bar'n actually hosts a different theme at each venue and for IOI City Mall, Putrajaya it was Daisy and Lucky the cow.

I love how the area was decorated! It was cosy and at the same time fun!

And we met Ricky who only had one goal in his mind. And that is to make sure everyone leaves happily. His passion in the restaurant is just inspiring because of his love for the culinary industry where he was a chef for over 30 years.

During our dinner there, he was checking in with people on their experience and just genuinely getting to know us. He was really friendly and approachable. You will surely feel welcome here at The Bar'n, IOI City Mall, Putrajaya.

They also have a Cigar room that is properly filtered and closed up that you can have private events or meetings with your business partners.

Affordable 5-Star Gourmet Dining in Champignons at Oasis

wine

Sebrinah Yeo January 19, 2018 13

Ever wanted to enjoy a 5-star chef gourmet semi-fine dining at a more affordable price but with a sumptuous portion of excellent quality? Well, now you can!

My first experience here was, "WOW"! The pricing on the menu is seriously affordable!

I mean, who gets to eat Foie Gras for RM38!!! Me! And ultimately you too can enjoy 5-star quality meals here!

The variety on the menu is really interesting and I like that it is neat and has as much details in a short and simple explanation of what we will be ordering.

The ones with the mushrooms on the side are the Chef's recommended choice. Why mushrooms you ask? Champignons is actually mushroom in French!

The drinks we had were really unique and some are homemade too!

They served us their homemade bread for starters (off the menu) it tastes really crunchy and delicious! Not your ordinary bread. Kinda like pita bread but crunchy and crispy!

This is their special starter/appetizer, the "Cured Salmon with Orange Mousse" and yes! I thought the Mousse was cheese slice! But no! It's their homemade Orange Mousse. This is truly fine dining experience. I tried to eat it a tiny bit at a time then I decided to gulp it down in one go haha! Surprisingly, the taste blended perfectly when I put the whole thing in my mouth! No kidding!

I will never forget the "Seared Foie Gras with Fig Jam" (RM38) and I will be back again! The last time (8yrs+ ago) I saw Foie Gras on the menu was rm100 over and it was so tiny that I could use a toothpick to eat it at one go! That is how pricey this meal is elsewhere! It's a duck/goose liver by the way. Over here it's perfectly marin

How does it taste like?

Does it have any fishy/bloody smell or taste?

Actually, I will describe this like you're eating a really big fatty 3-layer pork called "Siew Yok" without the meat, just the fats. It's crispy outside and inside fatty juicy and tastes just like "Siew Yoke". The fig jams brings out a really natural sweet flavour and the mini jelly is not "cincau", it's actually red wine jelly. Eat them together and you will be AWE-d!

The "Grilled US Pork Ribs with Plum Sake Glaze" (RM25) were so juicy, moist, tender and satisfying. I could literally salivate right now. It's so damn good! Most ribs are dry or just too much flavouring, and not enough meat. This is tender, juicy and oh-so-delicious too! The pork ribs were marinated in "Plum marinated Sake". You must must try this!

This juicy tender loving "Black Truffle Chicken Breast" (RM35) is another must-have favourite on my list! All these while we have been eating dry, rough and meaty chicken breasts that made us fear of ever ordering this part of the chicken. However, this is deliciously succulent and just lip-smacking juicy with every bite. You will be surprised!! The secret to this is the temperature of cooking this.

"French Onion Soup" (RM18) is really unique! Caramelized onion toast and gruyere cheese espuma. On its own, you can taste the real onion juice in it that is really thick, pure and bittersweet!

Added with the gruyere cheese espuma, the mixture was so perfect that even my husband who hates cream in general gave it a TWO thumbs up!! With the cream added in, it made the onion soup more flavorful, you can taste the sweetness, saltiness and fragrance all at one go!

This is the "Baked Halibut Fillet with lemon" (RM28). The Halibut Fillet is fresh and generously meaty! Tastes amazing with the lemon and goes perfectly well with the baked seafood rice with tomato and zucchini. This was previously on the Lunch Menu, however due to the amazing feedback received, this dish will now be available on the normal menu.

Their set lunch menu changes every 2 weeks! So if you really like what you had for lunch, tell the waiters/waitress, tell the Chef, tell your friends and family, just tell somebody!! And it may eventually stay on the menu for you to order anytime the whole day! Remember, your feedback is of great value! If you have any food allergy or food preference (eg. vegetarian, etc) you can speak to your server about the ingredients in their dishes before ordering.

As for desserts we had their amazing "Champignons Chocolate Delights" (RM18), specially created as a mushroom shaped chocolate cake with sprinkles of chocolates, sweets, syrup and all the sweet delights in various colours and textures to create a mushroom in the garden effect. As Chef Gary poured to sweet syrup over the dessert, it was mesmerizing!

The Champignons Chocolate Delight that's oh-so-delish and savoury sweet, specially made to sweeten up your day. Neatly designed like a Champignon (Mushroom) in a beautiful garden. . . Chef Gary gently pours the sweet warm syrup over the Champignon Chocolate for a perfect blend of goodness with a secret sparkle surprise that bursts in your mouth at every bite! . . . . Visit them for their official opening on 17th January 2018, 10am to 1pm! You don't wanna miss it!

But the highlight of this dessert is at every bite, there's a sparkle crackling in your mouth that comes from one of their special ingredients here. It's a sweet that crackles when in contact with any liquid.

They also have shelf rack of wines where you get to do wine pairing with food too. And you can even bring your own wine over as corkage fee is only RM30+.

After 15 over years of travelling around the world from Switzerland, London, Dubai to Macau from various venues like Mandarin Oriental hotel, Chef Gary Chang, decided to bring home to Malaysia a taste of 5-star excellent fine dining gourmet experience to the hearts of the people in Malaysia.

Basically with his experience, passion and talent. It is without doubt, every RM worth spending for!!

Incase you were wondering, why so affordable? Where are the ingredients from? You'll be surprised!

The pork is from US, Halibut & Salmon from Norway, Beef & Lamb from New Zealand and Chicken is locally from Malaysia.

S.O.P Restaurant & Bar in Paradigm PJ

spaghetti

Sebrinah Yeo November 24, 2017 18

Knowing my love for food, how can I not publish this review? This is not a sponsored review as it is my deepest pleasure to enjoy and dine in new places all the time, whilst sharing my personal experiences, and going into detail on the whole journey of my food review! Thanks to my gift, especially my sensitive taste and scent. I can practically pick up the ingredients just by tasting or smelling any food.

Okay, enough blabbing about me. Down to biz with this beauty!

Located in Paradigm Mall, Petaling Jaya which is found along the Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong (LDP) Express Highway. The busiest highway in town! The mall is facing directly opposite of Giant Hypermarket Kelana Jaya.

S.O.P is a German Cuisine Restaurant & Bar. From the outside, many may have misunderstood this venue as a bar or pub, however, rest assured it is 150% family-friendly!

It's a non-halal restaurant that serves amazing juicy ribs packed with a punch, full of flavours with every bite!

Their spaghetti is quite yummy when it's warm for you and your family to enjoy!

Their salad we ordered off the menu was really fresh and generous portions too!

On my 2nd visit there on Sunday, there were many families with young children at the restaurant and it was fully packed by lunchtime!

The Pork Loin set was yummy, the meat was marinated nicely. I asked for extra sauce because the pork loin is less fatty hence more meaty.

The Bacon Aglio Olio was delicious! My son asked for seconds!

My husband ordered the SOP Pork Burger and it was really good! The patty didn't taste like it was factory made! Flavorful with every bite! Satisfying portion too.

I added soup to my set lunch and it was Pumpkin soup that day. It was sweet, pure and rich! My son like it, even my baby kept bugging me for it.

The inner decoration is really unique. Very cosy, cool and homey!

A rack display for their liquors (I miss it so much...) There's also a wash basin to wash your hands.

Their door inside is majorly huge and very unique! It's to their private room inside! So you can even have a small party gathering here or birthday party!

Every set lunch comes with an Ice Lemon Tea and it was so good I ordered seconds at my first visit with my friends! This photo was taken on my 2nd visit with my family, seated outdoors as indoors was fully reserved. I noticed outside there's a huge space to walk about and just enjoy space. There's also a cute water fountain on the floor in the certain outdoors, some kids were playing there with their family. But be careful, they can get wet easily as the water fountain sprays out from the ground.

Do drop by for a visit with your family!
