A peek at The Hill

Hit a new outlet on Lorong Dungun, Damansara Heights, KL.

Its called The Hill (016 229-1505), and is a converted fat-cat bungalow. The place is a pad, and is restaurant/bar. Location here.

Food, drink @ Tom’s

Swung by Tom Dick & Harry’s (7710-2122) in TTDI recently. Food blogger chick Sue Lynn was checkin out some of the menu items, so i joined her.

We also went thru a few cocktails. My friend Sarah orders the Mudslide Martini to start. It’s different from what we’re used to, ie TGI Friday’s ice-cream filled one, but its ok.

The girls went thru quite a few cocktails!

Mudslide

Hmm, not sure if this was the White Russian or Mudslide

First on d munchy list – Pigs in Blanket. Their version uses small sausages. Pretty ok. The mustard rocks.

Other cocktails sampled – Hopscotch Martini – one for those who like their drinks lollipop-like, Mojito – a favourite anytime, Vodkachino – good as a dessert.

I also had the Long Island. Unfortunately, the bar uses locally-made cheap liquor, which i find quite shocking, considering its priced as premium. I’m not sure if their house-pouring liquors are also local moonshine.

My lovely 'double-date'. Haha

Pork spread

Meeeat!

The Pork Platter (above) is pretty decent, tho the slices are kinda thin.

Prices are above average. The bar opened early this month, with happy hours from 4-8.

Remember d movie Alien, when d baby alien bursts outta d dude's stomach? Flashback. Pork knuckles.

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.

Joining the strip

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

Booze canisters 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.
