I used to frequent Bangsar’s Telawi neighbourhood. And when we do, we would end up concealing ourselves with high tea or cafes without noticing the newcomer in town; or we would rather called it the hidden gem nestled at Jalan Telawi 3.
If you plan to chill out in a homely English themed eatery, try the Smokehouse, an outlet that offers a mixture of Western, especially English & Thai cusine that will surely tantalize your tastebuds. Smokehouse serves a medley of delicious dishes throughout the day, from breakfast through to dinner! We were lucky enough to enjoy a hearty lunch cum lavish high tea with compliments from the manager, Dennis with our besties, AiWei & KampungboyCitygal.
Used to operate at the KL city centre, the Smokehouse is now moved to Bangsar Baru. Be sure to visit for a homely atmosphere.
Another praise: Their Thai chefs were previously with Rama V!
#1 Ambiance
Loving the aristocratic elements of this outlet while bringing out the vintage sentiment of the English epoch. Old school table and chairs, fireplace and decorative basics like the classic telephone & record player were some atmosphere enhancers.
#2 Starters & Appetizers
Grilled Mushroom with White Wine Sauce – RM15
Mushroom grilled ideally with strong garlic flavours and dashing white wine
Mieng Kam – RM15
It was odd to enjoy Thai fares in a Western styled restaurant, but we’re glad they do as the sauce of this appetizers married well to it. Appetite stimulating.
Chor Ladda – RM15
Flower shaped dumpling stuffed with minced chicken. The fillings will rock your tastebuds 🙂
Poo Nim Tod – RM18
Deep fried soft shell crab. Dip these crispy little sweethearts into the chili sauce for extra flavours.
#3 Our SIX memorable Main Course
Chicken & Mushroom Pie – RM28
the mash that comes together with the pie
Roast Lamb Shank – RM32
Roast Sirloin of Steak with Yorkshire Pudding – RM38
Beef Wellington – RM48
Grilled Cod Fish – RM38
Signature Thai style Fried Rice
#4 Desserts
Bombe Alaska – RM28
Burried within the meringue are cherries, fruits & shortcakes that will set ablaze when torrent, fired up brandy are poured onto this dessert mount.
Mango with Sticky Rice
Surprisingly the sticky rice turned out to be the main character as it was really fragrant.
#5 English High Tea
Our High Tea Set – Prettified with delicious scones and petite sandwiches and cakes that will surely tally great with an English cuppa or coffee.
#6 Beer with us
Ai Wei with 3 pints of Hoegaarden
Take note that the Happy Hour is throughout the day 🙂
