MUM72A

I was kinda stumped about the venue to celebrate Little Monster and mum's birthday. When it came to the kid, Western is a de facto choice. The go-to-person for Western food is definitely Janvier. From the several choices that he gave me, I chose Checkers at Bukit Damansara because they serve pork. Oink oink! Dinner was arranged on Friday night. Very casual restaurant hidden in a residential area. Most of the customers seem to be regulars with wine on their tables.



The menu wasn't big, but the owner Mr. Tan curated it well. The grilled pork belly slices with chutney was delicious and oh-so-sinful. Big Monster ordered the pasta with meat sauce and he wasn't disappointed. The waitress also convinced us to order a special, the Lord of the Ribs, a full rack of pork ribs. Perfect for carnivores. Felt that we had too much pork, so we also got the Jamaican jerk chicken with grilled plantain (pisang tanduk for the uninitiated, and it was great!). Kids also loved the pizza. Most of the sides included a kerabu salad that we all really liked. The kids on the other hand polished off all the mash. If you're not into too much meat, you can also go for their mussels in white wine which goes really well with bread.





To close, we had a cake with lots of strawberries and cream (to appease Little Monster), and opened the presents. One reviewer in Google Maps actually described Mr. Tan as eccentric, but whether that was true or not, he definitely liked children. Before we left, he gave the kids a box of Pocky each as birthday presents which was very nice of him.
