A Sinfully Delicious Piglet @ Dave’s

September 2, 2010 - 2:18 pm No Comments

I was at Dave’s on Monday to check out their newly renovated look at 1 Utama. Not only they have new look, they also have this new roasted piglet in the menu called Darren’s Whole Roast Crispy Skin Piglet. I order a glass of Tiger before the piglet was serve, it’s also to get my appetite going as not too long ago I just finished my lunch.

Darren let me try quarter of the piglet, which smell great when it serve. It comes with bread, pickle and serve with 2 type of sauce. The flesh just come out from the bone with ease and the crispiness of the skin really a delight that melt in the mouth. The soft fat texture that slowly melt in your mouth… mmmmm. If you are a pork person, the slight taste of roast meat aroma really make all the different in this dish.

After a few mouthful I started to get stuffed, but with the combination of the pickle and the sauce I continue going. It’s just make you keep going.

What is left is only the nose, I basically finish the quarter that are serve to me. The cheek is the best part of the fat as it really just oil it in my mouth. Damn, writing food review really make me hungry.

The only mistake I make was paired with the wrong beer, as I should have gone with Kilkenny or Weihenstephan that will beautifully trigger the pairing better then a Tiger beer. The piglet fats can easily wash down with more aromatic beer.

It’s sinful to eat the piglet, now I have to go for exercise to cut down my calories intake. Sometimes I wonder should I be a food blogger… haha, just kidding!!!

Drinkers Be Aware

Lately been hearing a lot unpleasant stories about how people got kidnapped, beat up and bullied. 3 different stories that I hope won’t happen to anyone.

Kidnap
This story happen to a female, where she was pumping petrol around 5pm-6pm. As the sun still haven’t set, few guys from the other car came down and cornered her and kidnapped her. After that the story get worst, they gang raped the girl. After finished with her, they just chunk her in the jungle.

Lesson to learn
I know we don’t really notice our surrounding and who will thought that during day time this thing will also happen. So crime can happen anytime, even while you pumping petrol. Ladies please be careful.

Beat Up
2 guys was walking back after merdeka celebration, as they pass by a group of people of other race. Some one just started a fight from the group of people by doing a flying kick to the other person. This is more like a racial hatred going on. A bunch of people beat up 2 guys, which are for no reason after a happy celebration got beaten up. After a few kicks and punches, the group give some racial slur and walk away. Both the guys are injured from the attacked.

Lesson to learn
Lately better be careful, a lot of racist things being going on. So when you see a big group of people that you don’t feel comfortable walking by, try to avoid them. As they will attack for no reason and will strike for fun.

Bully
Another scenario happen when this guy was taking his car to go home around 3am in the morning. When suddenly he saw this guy knocking at his car window, like trying to look for trouble, but he ignore it and try to drive the car away. In a instance, a big group of motorbike gather around his car, broke his windscreen and start whacking the guys. Lucky nearby got police, shouted at the gang. If not this poor guys could have been killed for no reason.

Lesson to lean
Don’t even know how to avoid this kind of things, like they are plan to hurt you since the beginning.

Be careful
Ladies out there, please get someone to accompany you to the car, even your car is just 2 steps away (but do get someone you trust). This 3 events happen while non of this people are intoxicated with alcohol. So it will be even worse if we are alcohol infuse. As for the public, we must try our best to stop this kind of madness. Is just not nice to see all this thing happen here. Hope the police will beef up the security and caught all this culprit so that we can have more peaceful place.

We used to get scare of robbers, but now we are not even sure what are this people after. This people just do this thing kind of random and spoiled someone life by inflicting fear to them. It does make me ponder. To the victim, this trauma will stay in them forever. Spread out more words and let people know this incident so we can be more aware of it.

Live Your Life, Cheers Forever!

Vive La Vida @ IOI Boulevard, a new lifestyle pub open next door to Munich Gastro Bierhaus. Vive La Vida mean live your life. For me I think the name is quite meaningful. Everyone of us must live our life differently, same goes with choosing your drinks. Of course Vive La Vida make sound more fun… haha

I like the ambient of this place, I have to said it doesn’t really look or feel like latino style but the place is for sure have nice ambient mood to dine and drink. I get comfy very easy with warm light.

Many comfy area to choose and sit. The soft music with the warm light really make this place very welcoming. You can choose to sit in the inside to have a private section with friends.

Or just hang around the bar for the usual pub hang out. The bar is actually quite nice to be as it have nice comfy chair to sit and good selection of drinks just in front of you.

You can see the selection of whisky, vodka, tequila, brandy…. I good wide range to choose from. It will be quite tempted to try all the liquor when you sitting on the bar. It’s always a pleasure to have a nice bar area in the pub.

But for those that need more fresh air and simple drinking, you can always opt for the corridor area. They have a wide space area which for those who don’t like to cramp inside.

But the bar is still my favourite area, as I can sit down there watch the tele while chatting with friends. Sitting in the pub also give you the whole view of the place.

They have a big selection of beer as well. On tap they have Connor’s, Tetleys and Hoegaarden, on bottles they have Weihenstephan, Franziskaner, Leffe, Budweiser, Konig Luwig… to choose from. Beside that you can also order from next door tap as both outlet are the same owner. Even you can order Munich’s food and dine at Vive La Vida or vice versa.

This place provide not only drinking fun but also food satisfaction. Bar snack or heavy meals is up to your own choosing. The food pairing with drink are endless, as you can explore you taste bud with the selection of food and varieties of drink that are available.

Overall I like the setting of the place, especially the bar. I love those funky light too. Only thing I don’t felt is the Latino feel. Is more like a fusion of lifestyle pub, which have all the good formula to make this place nice and cosy for a chill out night. Cheers for a nice hang out joint!
