Quite a Funky Villa

The Funky Villa (7725-2308) is this restaurant & bar dats been around for a few months in e@Curve, Damansara Perdana, PJ.

The food is actually authentic Thai. With good selection of grills.

More on that later. Our first drink was a giant margarita. Like fuckin huge. U could lose your face in it.

As compared to a large pack of fags

This is the Funky Rita, with four layers of flavour & colours ($67.85 net). It will take u ages to go thru this frozen stuff! Maybe an hour. So its best to keep this as a side drink while u have your main drink. Its def d largest glass of cocktail i’ve ever attacked.

My fave part is d top, which is a strawberry mix. There are like nine frozen cocktails dat come in these gorilla glasses, like Mama Alexander (rum, Tia Maria, coconut cream)  and Peach Alexander (Cognac, Creme de Cacao, peach liquer).

Tripped out, as the outlet is inspired by Koh Phangan's full moon parties

Melon Colada shd make a decent dessert – rum, Midori, coconut cream, honeydew & vanilla ice-cream.

Totolly trrropikal marn.

Illusion - fruity

We also had some Illusion ($29.90) (Vodka, Malibu, Blue Curacau, Midori, OJ). Strong shit. But like any such cocktail, goes down quick.

I gotta say for a Thai joint, d place has quite a few drinks in its list.

D little food dat we had was great. One amazing dish from northern Thailand is the goddam Ra Hum On Jun. No shit.

Take me to your dealer

Like nothing i’ve had in my life. Basically boiled egg wrapped in fishcake ($15). Am not really a big fan of either one, but man. The eggs are boiled to i dunno 85% or sumtin, so its not totally hard yet, jelly-like, and combines with the spicy fishcake topped with sum salad to blow your mind outta yor skull.

For sharers

After recovery we dug into some platter. Tong Lo ($55.20). This one is kinda a good grill sampler of seafood, tenderloin, prawn cake, spring rolls and a mango salad. For a couple of alcos like me & Byron, we had a tough time finishing it coz our stomachs were full of margarita!But i gotta say, the outlet’s grilled food is excellent. A great accompaniment for drinks. There’re also loads of That tapas.

The menu is very extensive. Makin a choice could be a problem! There are six Thai chefs there.

So our food escapade ended right there, and we moved on to the Nutcracker, a cocktail of vodka, Irish Cream, Amaretto, hazelnut liqeuer and a lil vanilla ice-cream.

Yummy

The outlet is labelled as a Thai Grill & Wine Room. It does have outdoor BBQ, as well as some wines. There’re actually several sections to it – the dining area inside, the bar  area, the cushy lounge, the patio, and the newly-launched Balcony & Funky Villa.

Loungin

Barcony is a mezzanine floor, more like a balcony. A great spot for private parties or BBQs. I watched this fish (below) being BBQ-ed – lemongrass-stuffed, (thru d damn mouth) salt-baked sea bass, a northern delicacy. I tried a lil. Niice.

Pla Krapong Tod Sam Rod. Seriously.

The semi-outdoor Balcony

They got sum sweet lunch deals:

OK wat

Happy hours – noon till 6pm – $51.75 for two pints Hoegaarden, Stella or Connor’s. ($63.25 from 6pm-10pm). Carlsberg pitcher at $41.40 from noon till 10pm. Funky Villa opens till late.

For serious Hoegaarden guzzlers

S’More’s @ The Sphere is startin to get pretty serious with their drink promos. Really hard for drinkers to ignore it much longer.

D current weekly one is $40 net for yor first pint of Hoegaarden, followed by 15 bucks (net) for all your rest. Works well if u drink a lot. It wd b about $18/pint if u have eight ($145). Some other joints would scam u for about $240 for eight pints, as i posted about before. Like i said, the cost for a pint of Hoegaarden is really only $12.

So u could save 100 bucks per person, each session. Happens only on Wednesdays tho, from 6pm-9pm.

Finally being priced a lil more reasonably

Call to RSVP (2240-0069). Checkout their FB page linked above for more promos. Tuesdays is Irish Marathon – for $100 net, drink as much Guinness or Kilkenny as u want. And its for five hours from 5pm to 10pm.

Its the only bar i know that serves BOTH Hoegaarden and Guinness draft. (Update Jan 2011 – Hoegaarden draft removed, due to obligations to GAB.)

Sid’s celebrates

Sid’s Neighbourhood Pubs threw a chilled n intoxicated afternoon party late June; to celebrate winning Best British Pub in Malaysia for an online competition by Telegraph.
It went on to challenge the world as the Best British Pub outside Britain and after a very closely-fought battle Sid’s Pub emerged as the most “Highly Commended British Pub” in the world. Which is kinda like second place. Congrats!

The lamb was awesome. So was d Guinness. It was hosted at Sid’s Kenny Hills, the candidate outlet.

(The winner was The Tudor Arms in Stockholm, Sweden.)

Sid’s is set to open a fourth outlet. Details soon.
