Tiger Crystal is BACK!


Tiger Crystal, the limited edition and refreshingly different brew from Tiger is back again for the second consecutive year for the year-end festive season!


Tiger Crystal provides distinctively refreshing moments for consumers who are looking forward to try something different.



Last two weeks, a media hosting for Tiger Crystal was held in a newly opened bar in the town - 
the Switch Gastrobarlounge in The Strand, Kota Damansara.

A cool Tiger bar with blue lightnings in Switch.


 For those who's still wondering where it is, the bar is just at the ground level of Encorp Strand, which also known as Red Carpet.

Throughout the hosting, besides chillax with Tiger Crystal, we were enlighten with fine dining made of Tiger Crystal.


Here's how the menu looks like:-

Menu

Appetizers
Cold water prawns with white fungus, Iberian ham and sesame
Passion fruit marinated duck pietee

Entrée
Carribean-styled salmon and sole fish infused with Tiger Crystal
Lamb shank infused with Tiger Crystal

Dessert
Tiger Crystal shot with fresh passion fruit and kiwi puree

  

Cold water prawns with white fungus, Iberian ham and sesame 
- fresh prawn flavoured with the aromatic of the Iberian ham


 
Passion fruit marinated duck pietee
- the passion fruit jam does help to bold the taste of this dish


Carribean-styled salmon and sole fish infused with Tiger Crystal 
- its hard for me to describe the taste of this dish but the caviar is totally good!


Lamb shank infused with Tiger Crystal 
- personally this is the best among all as the lamb is juicy and tender :P

 Tiger Crystal shot with fresh passion fruit and kiwi puree


This is the first time in my life to have a beer shot. The passion fruit does match with the beer but the does not go well for the kiwi (green at the bottom) as it is quite condense to flow into the mouth when taking the shot. 

Overall, its a good experience of fine dining with the fusion of Tiger Crytal. For those who would like to try out the dishes shown here, an early booking need to be arrange with Switch as these food are not listed in the daily menu.



Here's part of the interior of Switch:-



still wondering how Tiger Crystal taste like??
well, GET IT NOW from any tiger outlets nearby!!!

Durian Cendol & Mango loh loh @ Justberrys

Its icy day at Justberrys, located in Sunway Pyramid.


 Durian Cendol (RM6.50) - not much place can get it in KL & Selangor area and it taste nice!


 Mango Loh Loh (RM6.50) - as usual mango layar is outside and bottom of da bowl while ice in the inside, so depends on how you mix it or eat the mango layer and ice seperately

They comes with few other types of dessert and flavours too!!

Will try it out someday....but so far durian cendol will be the winner among both :)

Korean BBQ Pork Ribs @ Han Woo Ri, USJ Taipan

Last month, my friend who's a frequent customer to groupon finally used one of his deal that he bought long time ago. Its a food deal of :

[Korean BBQ Pork Ribs with Unlimited Side Dishes + Seafood Pancake & Tea at Han Woo Ri for RM25 instead of RM45]

and here's where Han Woo Ri located at:

Han Woo Ri
1D & 2D, Jalan USJ 10/1J, Taipan Business Centre, 
Subang Jaya, Selangor 47620

(its just above Old Town Coffee in Taipan Business Centre)


Each of the deal includes:

Dwaeji gal bi marinated pork ribs (up to 250 gm) with
12 refillable side dishes (RM29 value)
+
Pa jeon seafood pancake - 9cm diameter (RM16 value)
Tea
+
Barley
+
Watermelon slices

My friend bought two of the deals, however there were four of us, but the restaurant manager allow us to us the groupon as it was not stated clearly 1 groupon = 1 person. Since 2 x 250gm of pork ribs surely unable to feed 4 person in hunger, thus we ordered another pork belly meat @ RM29.

Hola......here's where the journey begins......
.....a table FULL of side dishes :D and the fresh pork ribs!!


Not to worry that you have NO experience in BBQ cooking as all will be well done by the waiter :)


Clean grill plates will be replaced throughout the grilling process......


So while watching the "cooking show", we start our feast on all the side dishes around the table.


The yummy Korean pancake of prawns and squid.


Here's the side dishes:-

Tofu which is very smooth.


Kimchi!! i can say this is the best side dishes among all XD


Some ordinary vege which taste ordinary



Anchovies and peanuts...which reminds me of nasi lemak LOL. But this anchovies are not the chunchy type but more like the pickle type. It depends personally whether you'll like it or not as it take some time to chew.


I'm not sure what they call this in Korea but it taste similarly to Kimchi just that its not cabbage.


Lotus root


Fishcake, which is considered the 2nd favourite side dish among all


The additional order of pork belly meat.
All the BBQ meat is well done and taste nice and juicy!


The soup served is nice too!


Well, something to mention as my visit to there is that their service is SUPER fast as they automatically will refill the side dishes when its emptied. After two rounds of refilling, they start serving the watermelon slices. However we still crave for kimchi, so we get the refill. But the waiter give us back a shocked face seeing the watermelon slices on the table and thought we were done with the dinner. We were SHOCKED at that situation, but we still get the refill as its refillable what ><. 

Without knowing what's the issue, one of my friend came out with a conclusion: 
" DONT ever let them serve the fruits if you still want to refill your side dish"

HAHA. so do anyone of you have the same experience? Please do share with me :)


A last good point to add, although the BBQ is done right in front of you, but you got no worries on the BBQ smell would stain on your clothes as they got good ventilation system to vacuum the smell.
