Hogging the Limelight in Bangsar!
If
you have not heard about Piggy Tail,
you should, especially if you are a lover of porky dishes! The bistro and bar
is located in the bustling area of Bangsar. Though the area is literally
swarmed with lots of eateries, porcine lovers are rest-assured that Piggy Tail
is worth a visit. Serving up a full swine-laden menu, the bistro has got some
attractive and scrumptious dishes aim to please all porky fans out there.
The
bistro has a casual and stylish laid-back ambiance. Using lots of natural wood
with a mix of steel, it has the feel of the much seen industrial raw appeal theme
here. Lots of tables with benches added a casual vibe as the bistro wants its
diners to just enjoy their delicious porky fare as the highlight. There is a
long bar in the bistro too, serving up lots of beers and cocktails to go with
the menu. It’s a near-perfect combo of bar and porky fare!
The
menu is filled with choices of piggy breakfast dishes, salad, soup, pasta,
burgers, snacks, rice, main porky and non-porky dishes, set platters and
desserts. The beverage list is just as long as the food menu with list of
wines, beers, liquor, cocktails and other non-alcoholic beverages plus coffee
and tea too.
Since
it was a weekday we were there, we were pretty good and had Virgin Piggies or mocktails… from Piggy Surprise (RM18.00) to Virgin Pink Lady (RM15.00) and Mango Mock-O-Lada (RM15), these beverages
were deliciously refreshing and fruity.
My other half also had a Kirin Ichiban Beer (RM22.00 for half pint).
Since
there were four of us that evening, we had a taste of their Mega Piggy Platter (RM268.00) together
with some other dishes. The enormous platter is served on a large wooden board.
Our eyes, well at least mine, sparkled at the sight of this gargantuan platter
of heavenly dishes on this board. The Mega Piggy Platter has Piggy Signature Pork Knuckles, Pork Burger,
Pork Franks, BBQ Pork Chops, BBQ Pork Ribs and BBQ Beef Ribs served with gravy, coleslaw and salad. Of course one
can order all these separately but if you are going to go full-force with a
group of buddies, this platter is right up your alley.
There
are two kinds of ribs served at Piggy
Tail. Both BBQ Short Pork Rib
and BBQ Long Pork Rib are very
scrumptious in flavours. Both are finger-licking awesome as well. While the BBQ
Short Pork Rib has a fall-off-the-bone texture, the BBQ Long Pork Rib has a
good bite in the well balanced lean and fat belly meat. The BBQ sauce is delish
with its balance of tangy piquant sweet note that suited my palate really well.
The
BBQ Pork Shoulder Steak is nicely
tender too despite it being so lean and has a very tasty note. There were two Pork Franks with one being spicier than
the order. These were nicely juicy and tasty too.
Our platter was a little different and we had their Signature Lamb Chops (RM45.00 a la carte) which we really enjoy too. The grilled marinated New Zealand lamb chops are smothered in a robust Mongolian sauce and was nicely chargrilled on the edges while tender and juicy on the inside.
The
Piggy Pork Burger (RM28.00 a la
carte) is a towering height of porky goodness. A generously bulky piece of pork
patty is sandwiched with cheese, lettuce, tomato, bacon, fried onion rings and
toasted sesame seed bun showed how every pork burger should be. The patty is has
a good bouncy texture with a juicy note. I also really enjoyed the crispy
well-battered onion rings. Go ahead and sink your teeth into this sizeable pork
burger if you can…
The
next dish of Signature Pork Knuckle
(RM86.00) was indeed another beauty! Just check out how evenly golden and
crispy the whole pork knuckle looked. Propped on mashed potato, the pork
knuckle looked every inch poise and divine. Served on the side was a mug of
gravy, coleslaw and salad.
The
pork knuckle is one of the best pork knuckle I had so far. The even crispiness
of the skin coupled with the tender and succulent dark meat was just damn
delicious in every bite. The bits of gelatinous tendon and fat gave the dish a
moreish sensation of indulgence. Must-order at Piggy Tail!
Premium Pork Aglio Olio (RM25.00) was our only carb dish and
even this one had the hog. Grilled Sakura pork neck fillet is paired with a
classic aglio olio spaghetti of chili flakes, garlic, olive oil and bacon. I
was really loving the grilled pork neck filter because it was so tender and
well-seasoned.
Piggy Tail uses Sakura Pork which is organic and has better flavour and textures!
Curiosity
got the better of us and we also snacked on Piggy Pork Corn (RM16.00). Inspired from the popcorn chicken, this
one was luxe up with Sakura pork chunks nicely seasoned and deep fried till
golden brown. The meat and bits of tendon texture in the Pork Corn was a plus
point factor that had us keep going back for more… it is a great snack with
beer…
Dessert
was our least expected dish of the night. Piggy
Tail goes all out and serves up their Signature
Truffle Ice Cream (RM18.00). As soon as the dessert was placed on our
table, the intense earthy truffle aroma hit our senses like a ton of bricks… in
a luscious way of course! What a treat… pairing the high-prized white truffle
with ice cream certainly works for me in flavours and aromas. That’s not all,
the dessert comes with chocolate sauce and crispy bacon bits… oo la la!!
Battling the area
traffic and parking is worth it. Piggy
Tail is a pure haven of porcine glory. The bistro has got all the markings
of an awesome porky place to indulge in porky dishes. If this were to be my
last meal on earth, I would be satisfied and happy. Whether one just wants to
unwind the day or have a party with friends and family, one thing’s for sure, Piggy Tail is The Porky place to be
seen, heard and yes… Eat!
