LWIN LEE | PINCE & PINTS KL PREVIEW @ TELAWI, BANGSAR

After its first reputable flagship in metropolitan Singapore a year ago, PINCE & PINTS has now made lobster delectation a much more easier and affordable affair for us here over at Bangsar Telawi, a well-known spot for riveting smorgasbord of gastronomic delights. Serving classic and contemporary lobster dishes, Pince & Pints Restaurant and Bar is the definitive destination for lobster bar quintessentially, offering  freshly succulent and quality lobsters at accessible prices.

Decking out with a swanky 1,500 sq ft interior and multi-faceted chicness of 55-seater, this prestigious lobster epicureanism is set to wow bon vivants of Klang Valley over for its immaculately poised cartes do jour which served up to only 5 lobster-centric menus, along with motley of time-honoured wines, beers, house-special cocktails and other alluring beverages alike. This underlines Pince & Pints dedication in doing lobster right, hence the compact lobster specialty bill of fare in 5 sensational ways- a first-of-its-kind concept in Kuala Lumpur.

Each lobsters come at an average 600g – 650g, freshly wild-caught and flown directly all the way from Boston and Maine. Upon arrival to Malaysia, those crustaceans would be first kept at a state of the art cool-temperature sea tanks before get transferred and dwelled at their new home at Bangsar outlet. The live lobster would then be adeptly handled and culinary crafted by experienced chefs upon order, thus guarantees a truly lobster indulgence unfeignedly.

Let’s check out what’s instored for you by the lobster maestro to titillate the discerning palates of yours.

THE LOBSTER ROLL

Hearty chunks of fresh lobster meat tossed in mayonnaise and salt, stuffed in a ‘top-split’ homemade bun, and served with straight-cut fries with skin, garlic aioli and house salad. The bun itself is already a humble enjoyment, boasts with rich buttery fragrance, apart from the engaging bites of lobster meat.

LOBSTER NOODLES (exclusive to Pince & Pints KL only)

Large chunks of shell-on lobster, wok-fried with scallions and ginger in a lightly seasoned sauce atop freshly homemade egg noodles, and served with chili oil. This homey yet gracefully illustrated local’s favorite fare, boasts a very flavourful sapidness that is simply scrumptiously reassuring with its sweet oceanic taste.

CHILI LOBSTER WITH MANTAO

A homage to its Singaporean roots, a special house blend chili gravy envelopes a whole portion of fresh lobster and is served with a side of mantao, a.k.a. fried buns, the perfect Oriental pillow to soak up the mouth-watering sauce. This bounteous pot would definitely triumphs among spicy-food enthusiasts for that unmistakable mild kick of tempting hotness.

A whole portion of lobster, steamed or grilled to perfection, and ready to be dunked on the house specially made herbed butter sauce, served with straight-cut fries with skin and house salad.

Grilled Whole Live Lobster

For those who enjoy some smoky hint, ideally the grilled version would suit you more.

As for purist who enjoys their food au naturel way, then the juicily steamed interpretation surely warms the cockles of your heart. It’s literally bursting in juice once you bite in. I really revel in the firm texture yet succulent nuance that easily gets me hooked on for more. Double thumbs up!
