LWIN LEE| INTERLUDE- MALAYSIA'S FIRST TAPAS BAR @ TTDI

  

Touted as the first international tapas bar in Malaysia, Rabindran, the owner of Interlude also chef from Melbourne, mesmerizes fellow bon vivant with his conscientious creations as most of the dishes are made from scratch. Deriving influence from the French gastronomically, it is no surprise that the maestro often plays around with the culinary sophisticatedly, in search of a well-balanced, if not perfect pitch alchemic notes in food. Therefore, be prepared to tickle your taste buds with marvelous trial-and-tested dishes that have undergone scrupulous iterations by both Chef Rabin and Chef Loges, passionately delivered to you.

Stylish and hip in a lounge setting with the occasional side order or modern jazz. Dine over plates of inventively delicious food, designed for everyone to dig in to with almost all produce being locally sourced. 

Sumptuous entree that we sampled on that evening was.......

GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST WITH MASH AND CHICKEN JUS (MYR 30)

Chicken confit Served with finely mashed potato and crunchy French beans

BBQ PORK RIBS WITH GUINNESS BBQ SAUCE (MYR 38)

Lying adjacently to a toothsome crescent-shaped mashed potato that is deliciously infused with savory bacon bits alongside pickled cabbage-its taste is much more acceptable than the usual German saurkraut (=

CRISPY PORK BELLY WITH KILKENNY GLAZE (MYR 20)

Lusciously sliced pork that is lightly sprinkled with white sesame atop of a bed of appetizing pickled cabbage.

PORK BURGER (MYR 20)

Fluffy burger sandwiching juicy and bouncy inhouse made meat patty doused in Guiness Barbeque sauce, served with savory potato shoestring fries (can be very addictive though)

CARROT PAPARDELLE (MYR 16)

Absolutely stand out! Served with carrot and orange puree and tossed with fresh mint

Heavily spiced carrot 'pappardelle' with oregano & mint.

NANTUA OF SPAGHETTI WITH A SELECTION OF SEAFOOD (MYR 30)

Also known as Sauce American.

Traditionally a French preparation, a nantua is a reduction made with seafood, typically crayfish and butter or cream.

CITRUS CHICKEN SALAD

Seasonal greens tossed in lemon vinaigrette French dressing with chicken breast streaks which provides a zesty contrast.

BAKED SNAPPER IN TOM YUM BROTH

Unexpectedly very appetizing and delicious, albeit tad spicy to some (=

Best paired with a bowl of white rice too.

Soon, the crème de la crème of Interlude making its appearance that ‘wow’ everyone once it’s been ushered out.

17-HOUR SLOW COOKED PORK BELLY (MYR 35)

Served with gribiche inspired sauce and grated egg white

17-hour slow cooked pork belly, with grated egg and tarragon gribiche inspired sauce

Sauce gribiche is a mayonnaise-style cold egg sauce in the French cuisine, made by emulsifying hard-boiled egg yolks and mustard with a neutral oil like canola or grapeseed. The sauce is finished with chopped pickled cucumbers, capers, parsley, chervil and tarragon. It also includes hard-boiled egg whites cut in a julienne.

Cooked sous vide way-food is sealed in airtight plastic bags and immersed in a hot water bath, the pork skin still remains crispy and tenderly voluptuous with the sliver layer of fat in between the lean meat and skin.

And if you feel like sipping some champagnes, swigging over premium vodkas or down some shooters,  you’ll be spoiled for choices with the extensive list available over here.

QUICK FUCK (MYR 22),

Soon, we had this controversial and provokingly named shooter,a concoction of Kahlua, baileys, mindori . It tastes pretty nice though with its chocolaty tinge.  

Reminds me of the delish Baileys ice cream again, hehe.
