Bavarian Bierhaus offers modern Bavarian food and drinks ranging from hearty tastes of highly appetizing meals such as Crispy German Pork Knuckle, Pork Ribs, Berlin Steak, Mixed Sausages Platter, Bavarian Pork Salad among others. The restaurant’s Italian Executive Chef, Massimo Zampar produced a contemporary Bavarian menu to tantalize the taste buds and create a complete Bavarian experience.
'Bavaria' is the name of a state in Germany and 'Bierhaus' meant 'Beer house' in the German language. The Bavarians are also known as some of the world's most beer-loving people with an average annual consumption of 170 litres per person. They tend to place a great value and emphasis on good food and drink.
This restaurant is strategically located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur City Centre at Wisma UOA II, KLCC. This beer house exudes a relaxed and welcoming ambience that has made it a popular dining and drinking destination for both city office workers and the residents of the adjacent upscale serviced residences in KLCC district. Offering a multifaceted concept, combining a gourmet all-day dining restaurant, with a vibrant bar and wine post. While having the biggest selection of Paulaner Family Beers in KL, this is a good place to chill out with a few friends to savour their wide range of wines and beer.
As a prelude to dinner, Chef Zampar whipped up the 3 salubrious salads for us to savour - Bavarian Pork salad, Prawn salad and Caesar salad. I have to say that these crunchy starters were photogenic, well presented, looks good and taste good too.
Bavarian Pork Salad
RM 24
The Bavarian Pork Salad was my favourite among the three. I found this Pork Salad simply appetizing. Loved the smokey saltish taste of crispy bacon and well marinated grilled pork escalope that accompanied it. Prefect combo of romaine lettuce, purple cabbage and cherry tomatoes tossed with Bavarian mustard, warm haloumi and olive oil. Great dish for those on diet as it's as good as a complete meal.It has the protein and greens all in one!
Prawn Salad
RM 26
Equally appetising Prawn Salad. Generous serving of the succulent grilled prawns and bacon tossed with the fresh greens, apple slices, onion rings, julienned purple cabbage, buffalo mozzarella and roasted pine nuts.
Caesar Salad
RM 22
The Caesar Salad was given a new twist here. Freshly served with crisp romaine lettuce and hard boiled Omega eggs lightly coated in a garlic dressing, topped with parma ham, crispy croutons and grated pecorino cheese. If just in case you're wondering what is this 'Pecorino cheese'.... Well, Pecorino is the name of a family of hard Italian cheeses made from ewe's milk or sheep milk.
Premium Platter of Mixed Cold Cuts
RM 88
For starter, we savoured upon a platter of specially selected premium cold cuts which includes Parma ham, Salami Milano, Calabra (Spicy Salami), Coppa, Mortadella and Pancetta. An Aufschnitt Platter is a tray of cold cuts, usually accompanied with bread, butter, and pickles, onions, or other vegetables. Cold cuts are precooked or cured meat, often very large sausages, ham or meat loaves, that are sliced and usually served cold on sandwiches or on party trays.
Parma Ham or Prosciutto di Parma is a dry-cured ham from central and northern Italy. The Milano Salami, among the most popular in Italy is prepared with lean pork and bacon coarsely minced and moderately flavoured with salt and aromas, seasoned for a period varying from 3 to 6 months. Calabra spicy salami is a spicy Italian salami made from lean pork and chilli peppers. Coppa, is a traditional Italian cold cut (salume) made from dry-cured whole pork shoulder or neck. Mortadella is a large Italian sausage or cold cut made of finely hashed or ground, heat-cured pork sausage. Pancetta is an Italian form of bacon. It is pork belly that has been salt cured and spiced, and dried for about three months but usually not smoked.
These gourmet cold cuts are eaten with toasted wholemeal bread, pickle cucumber and onions.
Fresh Ravioli Pasta
RM 38
Chef Zampar prepared a plate of Fresh Ravioli Pasta with plush spinach and creamy ricotta, cooked and served with house-made tomato sauce and sweet basil leaves to sway our taste buds to another flavours. Vegetarian dishes may not be big on my list but its combination of creamy ricotta and finely grated pecorino, the dish was mouthwatering.
Mix German Sausages Platter
RM 82
My other favourite was the delicious Mix German Sausages Platter. Great dish for meat lovers. Premium offerings of meaty delicacies of German sausages - Bratwurst, Thuringer, Neurberger, German pepper to Hungarian sausage and the Emmenthaler from Switzerland with grilled bacon. Served with complementary dipping sauces of roasted-garlic mayo, german curry ketchup, mustard and habanero mayo to complete this sausage-li-cious meal. I was wowed over with wide selection and to be honest, all of them are equally tasty and extremely flavourful. Perfect to be eaten with mashed potatoes or salad. This adds up to my list of comfort food!
Well, Bavarian Bierhaus is certainly a great German restaurant to look for fabulous food, great beers and relaxing ambience ... So enjoy!
