New kid in TTDI

Had a blast at da launch of Tom Dick & Harry’s (7710-2122), a new bar in TTDI. All beers on tap were flowing – Hoegaarden, Blackthorn (cider), Tetley’s, Connor’s (stout) & Carlsberg. (No Guinness as its a Carlsberg Malaysia outlet.)

It’s a bar started by a friend and a few of his buds.

Pricing is OK, a lil above average for a neighborhood pub. I did expect Hoegaarden’s price to be friendlier. At 30 bucks a pint, its steep just for a beer. ($25 happy hours, 4pm-8pm.) A mug of Carlsberg is $12 ($9), while Connor’s is $22 ($18). There’s a range of Macallan and other single malts, with prices from $398 – $898. All figures are nett.

Cocktails n shooters go for $16 – $33.

Vodka, rum, bourbon are priced about $300. There’s absinthe here as well: $338 & $398 – cheaper than most outlets that serve absinthe.

All ready and lined-up

Some of the bites available

Havent really tried the grub (Tried!). There’s usual pub stuff like Pigs in Blanket, burgers, a couple of pastas, a variety of pies, and desserts too. Pork is served. Yea!

With four bars on this street, the scene is a lot livelier, and competition stiffer. Which is of course good news. Especially now dat its a particularly interesting Party Season. Daaam.

Party month’s here

Yup, the final month of partying for Party Season ’09. With so many three-day weekends dis month (FOUR if ur from Selangor), it’s gonna be unreal.

Some inexpensive booze always helps provoke the parties. Sid’s Pubs has a promo all month – happy hours from opening (11am!) all the way till closing at Sid’s Bangsar South & Sid’s Kenny Hills.

Fruits from the sky

Skyy Vodka of San Francisco launched three fruity vodkas called Skyy Infusion at 21, treating guests to a range of delightful cocktails. Vodka cocktails are my fave!

It’s a different style of vodka from Skyy Flavors line, which seems to have been discontinued. According to Jonathan, the commercial manager of Albert Wines, the unique and natural infusion technique produces a natural fruity taste. “It is a step-up from the flavoured vodka as it offers the real and pure tang of the respective fruits in every bottle.”

There were no neat servings to gauge that.

The new line of captured the “Best in Class” award at the Beverage Testing Institute (BTI) in Chicago in ’08. The raspberry and passion fruit were also gold medal winners at  San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
