The Delish @ Desa Sri Hartamas, Kuala Lumpur

The Delish is the latest joint on the Desa Sri Hartamas strip, that recently took over the old Jarrod and Rawlins space. It looks pretty much the same, and operates as a delicatessen and fusion bar that serves cold Tiger and Guinness on tap and a heady array of cocktails and mocktails. Operated by Mr R.N. Kumaar, who’s been in the food and beverage business for more than 19 years, it offers a menu, heavy on the meats, but balanced with a selection of leafy greens for the health conscious.

If the name, R.N. Kumaar sounds familiar, it’s because he used to run the Milawa group’s The Rib Shop in Medan Damansara, KL. He then left to open and run J&R outlets, so it’s no surprise that he is running The Delish now. There are plans in the near future to open outlets in Singapore in June and Shanghai in December.

If you’re there just for drinks and to chillout with your friends and colleagues, you must try the sauced up Assorted Sausage Plate a new creation that’s simply perfect to munch and wash down with your cold beers and favourite liquors or the tempting Cheese Platter. Or if you’re in healthy mode, then have a go at the Grilled Herbs Chicken Salad, Japanese Cucumber with Onion Rings, Tropical fruit Salad or the Caesar Salad with croutons, bacon and cheese. For more hearty appetites, try the terrifically decadent Roast Pork Knuckle (my fav!) or the creamy Spaghetti Carbonara or the Rosemary Lamb Cutlets .. all guaranteed to hit the spot!
