When the quintessential dishes of Malaysia & Italy collide, Nasi Lemak Pasta is the inevitable aftermath: TBF recently introduced an enjoyable interpretation of this hybrid recipe (RM18.90), doing justice to both nations with slick strands of pasta coated in a well-balanced sauce that speaks of coconut cream, pandan, ginger & anchovy sambal, accompanied by all the familiar accoutrements of nasi lemak, from hard-boiled eggs & cucumber to peanuts & ikan bilis, plus a boost of poached prawns. A creation capable of satisfying a wide swath of customers - nasi lemak lovers, pasta pursuers & novelty hunters.
Another current highlight is the Jumbo Porkie Platter (RM98), strictly for sharing, showcasing crowd-pleasing components like Spanish pork ribs, pigs in blankets, & siu yok. Our favourite on the platter is the bacon mushroom bombs - battered balls filled with minced pork, lard, shiitake mushrooms cooked with Shaoxing rice wine & button mushrooms wrapped in streaky bacon; we'd happily gobble up more than one of these tasty, textured bombs. The platter comes with a heap of fries & multiple sauces - pineapple chilli, kicap manis chilli, aioli chilli & Dijon mustard - each designed to complement a specific portion of the platter.
If you happen to visit TBF in SetiaWalk, Scott Garden or Sunway Giza, these three branches also boast an extra temptation - Guinness Nutella ice cream, smooth & robust with the nuances of stout (RM12.90 for two scoops with whipping cream, almonds, Oreo crumbs, biscuit flakes & chocolate sauce). At SetiaWalk, customers can linger by the waterways & fountains with TBF's cool classic cocktails - the Old Fashioned is a respectable rendition. Thanks to the TBF team for having us here.
