A Good Time at Morganfield’s

December 5, 2011 at 2:00 pm

Talking about food is one of the many favourite pastimes for Malaysians. Though any conversation may first start off with other topics, slowly but surely it will find its way to the subject of food. Whether it is a debate on which restaurant outlet’s food is worth waiting an hour for it to arrive on the table to which shop sells the best porridge in Kuala Lumpur, the subject for debating is endless.

Morganfield’s at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur

When it comes to pork ribs, it is safe to say that most Chinese cuisine restaurants have refined their pork rib dishes to an art form. What about American styled pork ribs? Many food lovers do agree that there are not many restaurants in the Klang Valley that serves good American styled pork ribs. Well, here is some good news to all who love pork ribs, Morganfield’s serve some of the best ribs in Kuala Lumpur.

Morganfield’s also has a bar for the restaurant’s patrons to enjoy an after-dinner drink

Morganfield’s is located on the 4th floor of Pavilion KL Shopping Mall at Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur. The restaurant exudes a laid-back feel with a rustic yet welcoming ambience. Some of the décor are made using recycled wood planks from torn down houses, with sinks made out of redesigned metal drums and menus made from pieces of corrugated box. The restaurant believes in the concept of soul food – serving food that not only brings back fond memories of one’s childhood but also warms the soul. Everything about the food at Morganfield’s is a testament to this belief – the hearty meals bursting with robust flavours that are not only delicious but also fresh AND unique dishes that can only be found at the outlet. One such dish is the outlet’s signature dish called Morganfield’s Sticky Bones.

Morganfield’s cosy interior makes dining there feel like home

In a recent lunch outing to Morganfield’s, the team had the opportunity to tuck into one of the latest promotions that offered the famous Sticky Bones. But before we were allowed to gobble down the succulent pork ribs, the staff first whetted our appetites by serving us the Appetizer Platter, which consisted of spicy chicken wings, Russet Potato skins filled with mixed cheese and topped with pork bacon bits and Crab Spinach Dip. The chicken wings were yummy and done just right. The sauce was not overpowering and the chicken meat remained soft and juicy. We found the dip to be a bit bland, but when we spoke to the chef about it, we were told that it was done so so that customers can fine-tune the taste of the dip to their liking.

The Appetizer Platter consists of Spicy Chicken Wings, Russet Potato skins filled with mixed cheese and topped with pork bacon bits and Crab Spinach Dip

The next dish was Morganfield’s signature dish, the Sticky Bones Spare Ribs. Each of these prime pork ribs are first slow-cooked and smoked in coal and hickory wood before being grilled while basted with sweet and tangy Hickory Barbecue sauce. One whole slab is enough to feed two (or three, depending on how big the tummies are!) humans and would definitely fulfill anyone’s craving for pork ribs. Though the pork ribs were no longer piping hot by the time we got our hands on it, the meat was still soft and came off the bones easily.

The delicious Sticky Bones Spare Ribs (BBQ flavored)

The next dish on the menu was also another highlight for all of us. The Jim Beam Baby Back Ribs tasted exactly like it was described on Morganfield’s promotional flyer – extra tender baby back ribs that just melts in your mouth. Combined with the special homemade Jim Beam Barbecue sauce, it was just so delicious that no words come close to describing it. The meat was just perfectly flavoured and there was no need to struggle with the bones in order to get every scrap of meat off. This is truly THE place to go for really wonderful pork ribs in Kuala Lumpur.

As Christmas draws near, Morganfield’s will have its special Christmas take-away promotion starting from 10th December 2011 till 1st January 2012. For those of you who are looking at celebrating Christmas or any other joyous occasion within this time frame without the hassle of cooking out of the way, you might want to consider Morganfield’s traditional Christmas roasts. Just pre-order 5 days prior to the function, pick your orders on the day and enjoy the compliments from your guests. The restaurant is offering five scrumptious traditional Christmas roasts with all the trimmings for the festivities at affordable prices. We tried one of the Christmas take-away promotions, which was the Whole Roast Turkey. Roasting turkeys is a lot trickier than it looks, as they tend to become dry if roasted for too long, while cutting corners on roasting time may also mean that guests may end up with pieces of uncooked turkey during Christmas dinner. Here at Morganfield’s, the chefs have found a way to cook this traditional dish to perfection. As the chef carved the bird, one could see its natural juices dripping as the sharp knife made its way through the meat. Each mouthful is tender and soft, and together with the giblet sauce and cranberry jam tasted like how Christmas should be – warm and memorable with little pleasures sprinkled throughout the day.

One of the Traditional Christmas roasts – Whole Roast Turkey with chestnut stuffing, served with garlic potatoes, grilled corn, giblet sauce with cranberry jam

Do not worry if pork ribs is not one of your many favourite dishes. Morganfield’s also serves other types of food that are equally as delicious, interesting and unique. Chicken lovers can opt for the Honey Stung Chicken or the Grilled Pacific Blue Marlin. What we tried was the Seafood Basket, which consisted of beer-battered fish, prawns and calamari served with coleslaw, French fries and tangy tartar sauce. If this dish only made up of pieces of deep fried beer batter, we would have happily munched our way through the whole basket without any complaints! The batter was light and tasty and did not leave the palate with an oily after-taste. It is just too bad that prawn shells are not really edible…

Morganfield’s Seafood Basket (beer battered) is perfect for who do not fancy pork dishes

No meal is complete without dessert, and dessert was what we had to round up a perfectly good meal. We started off with the Bread Pudding topped with Vanilla ice cream and bourbon sauce and finished the whole gastronomic journey with the Oreo Mousse Pie. The bread pudding was just heavenly with every bite – smooth and silky, not too sweet with warm and cold sensation at the same time. The Oreo Mousse Pie may seem simple at a glance, but place one spoonful of the dessert in the mouth and the perception changes immediately. The mousse is smooth and chunky at the same time, thanks to the bits of Oreo cookies inside. Definitely THE perfect ending to a wonderful meal.

The Christmas take-away promotions offer five mouthwatering traditional dishes, namely Morganfield’s Sticky Bones that comes in three flavours: BBQ, Spicy Tomato and Smoked Peppercon and is priced at RM 65.90 per slab; Whole Roast Turkey (approx. 5 kg per bird) and served with chestnut stuffing, garlic potatoes, grilled corn, giblet sauce and cranberry jam and is priced at RM 259.90; Roast Beef – Ribeye (approx. 2.5kg) served with garlic parsley potatoes, grilled corn and black pepper sauce and is priced at RM 289.90; Honey Glazed Pork Ham (approx. 1.5kg) served with garlic parsley potatoes, grilled corn and BBQ sauce and is priced at RM 199.90; and last but not least Roast Lamb Leg (approx. 2.5kg per leg) served with garlic parsley potatoes, grilled corn and black pepper sauce and is priced at RM 239.90.

PUMA’s Brand New Look

October 31, 2011 at 12:00 pm

Most entrepreneurs know that having a good product is only part of the winning formula to owning a successful business. In order to meet the market’s constant demands, new and better products are the norm in every kind of business there is in Malaysia, hence the need for a revamp in a business’ image every now and then. A timely image makeover will not only give a particular business a much needed breath of fresh air, it may also boost its product sales and bring in more clientele for the business.

The new concept store is set to elevate the customers’ shopping experience

Malaysian shoppers are definitely familiar with the brand name PUMA that carries sporting outfits. Following results from a recent study conducted by its management, PUMA is set to revamp its merchandising, assortments and store layouts in Klang Valley in accordance with the consumer’s shopping trends all over the world. Its revamped concept stores, termed as PUMA Retail 2.0, is set to engage its clients on a multitude of levels while elevating their overall shopping experience at the same time.

Fitness (Women) section

Shoppers can now head to PUMA’s first concept store in Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, where upon entry some notable changes can be seen. The stores are not only brighter and more inviting, there is also a clearer distinction between male and female products, which are placed on the right and left hand corner of the store respectively. Located in between both of these sections is a ‘catwalk’ display of lifestyle footwear, where customers can get a feel of the shoes as they walk around in them. The more prominent window display now acts like a ‘preview’ of the latest items carried by the store, and it is a good way to entice shoppers who are busy to come back and check out the items in a leisurely pace when they have the time. The items on display are now slated to change every two or three months.
