LWIN LEE | OLD SCHOOL @ THE SCHOOL, JAYA ONE
The
moment we stepped into Old
School, it really brings back the bitter-sweet memories during the
schooling time. Okay, where were those bitter days? Of course during exam
season where we tend to burn the midnight oil for those few hours of paper
sitting, hehe. Or, when bumping into your disciplinary teacher out of the blue
at the wrong timing (=
Fully gussied up in the most conventional classroom that you
usually seen at the school, this nostalgic café is equipped with a bright and
airy environment, occupying a ground floor space at The School, Jaya One, with another partition reserved for the
canteen concept- serving its fundamental schoolhouse theme. Even their main
culinary specialty logo are designed in such a way resembling a school badge.

The menu's extensive, all hand-written in the vintage exercise book, ranging from local Asian favourites to Western fusion, with most recipes and
sauces are inhouse prepare as they believe that food is as fresh and tasty as
it is.

KUROBUTA BURGER (MYR 29.90)
Finally the finest pork in the world and the most highly
priced pork in Japan is making its appearance in town!
The
meat that is delightfully made into patty, projects both sweet and rich nuance,
and a fine firm texture that is already good to be enjoyed on its own without
any additional sauce.
For those who are unaware, like me, Kurobuta actually means
‘black hog’ in Japanese. It is touted as “kobe beef” of pork, as this rare
breed of Berkshire pigs were royal gifts received from Britain and with much
Japanese dedication and perfection, the Japanese farmers have brought the art
of pig breeding to a whole new level.
This trademark pork and the thoroughbred status can only be
certified by the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. Unlike the
run-of-the-mill pigs which are usually confined to its pigsties, this Kagoshima
pigs are allowed to roam in the open, hence resulting in a more balanced
inter-muscular fats, which explains the high level of marbling in kurobuta meat.
OLD
SCHOOL PORK SHOULDER (MYR 24.90)
An enjoyable slab of thickly cut pork shoulder that
comes with a fair bit of fatty layers to moist up the overall palate.
Nevertheless, I enjoy the leaner meat more for they are grilled just nice and
really flavourful. Pair with the chutney sauce if you want to but I prefer to
enjoy it as it is :)
BBQ
PORK RIBS (MYR 34.90)
Prime cut is purposely chosen for a more pleasurable
enjoyment and the ribs are precisely barbequed till tender and moist. Meat is
thoroughly flavoured with house special marinade that you could actually skip
any sauce but still taste fantastic. Glad that the ribs here are not overly smothered in heavy sauces
for that would have overwhelmed the porky original taste.
ASSORTED HUNGARIAN MANGALICA PORK SAUSAGE (MYR 22.90 -3 PCS)
Simplicity at its best- with three different
flavours of premium Hungarian pork sausages.
Heartily chewy and toothsome, and I prefer the one
with spiced flavor amongst the three for the extra herb kick.
Jo
etvagyat!
OLD SCHOOL NASI LEMAK (MYR 29.90)
With deep fried ‘nam yu’ pork, pork rendang, roasted pork
served alongside the usual nasi lemak condiments and some pork cracklings on
top too! Indeed the perfect all-in-one plate for porcine lovers!
Devilishly
gratifying, the Holy Grail for pork enthusiasts; forget about diet at the
moment, or you could opt for sharing purpose if that helps in lessening some
guilt, hehe.
After a round of
scrumptious pork repast from Japanese
flair to Hungarian style, finally we could wash down the throat with these uber
refreshing fresh juices and healthy too! No sugar is added but only the salubrious
honey (=
BITTERGOURD WITH PINEAPPLE (MYR 6.80)
It’s very cooling and surprisingly, goes well pineapple.
CUCUMBER, CELERY AND LEMON JUICE (MYR 7.90)
An equally soothing thirst-quencher to temporarily
level down the meatiness.
After the so-called quick
detox interlude, don’t miss the
restaurant's own rendition of caffeinated ice cream.
OLD SCHOOL AFFOGATO (MYR 9.90)
Staying true to its Asian roots, the coffee used
here is those locally brewed coffee that we fondly known, and essentially partnered with a dollop of vanilla ice creams
and some Oreo crumbles. Compared to Southern American beans, this local coffee kicks
it up a notch with more fruity aroma for a smoother palate.
Still wondering what’s
more porky dishes instored here? Find out more at Old School and keep abreast at their page for more updates. Classroom
is now adjourned till the next session of titillating your taste bud further.
Cheers for now and Carpe Diem! ❤ℒℴѵℯ❤
