Mandatory Post with His Pork Knuckle

Chef Yogi also wowed us with his craving skill on a carving demonstration with his signature oven baked pork knuckle to heighten our dining experience that night.

Warm & Friendly Mr. Mohan Ramachandren, the owner of White Horse Tavern with Chef Yogi 

I was told that some of the hot favourites were the Honey Comb Glazed Pork Ribs, The Pork Burger, The Hellfire XL Sauce and the Pizzas. While the lunch set menu is catered to those looking for a quick but fulfilling bite, the ala carte menu invites guests to linger and savour their unique dishes.

Roast Pork Knuckle

Roast Pork Knuckle, served with creamy spicy mustard, prune and apple compote, streaky bacon and jacket potatoes.

Pork lovers will simply loves this huge pork knuckle, roasted to crisp-skin, tender-flesh perfection. Succulent with crisp skin accompanied with creamy spicy mustard with side of streaky bacon and jacket potatoes, balanced with the sweet clean flavours of prune and apple compote. 

Certainly makes a satisfying meal for meat lovers and it's a heavy meal to have on its own, so it is best shared over ice cold beers.

Star Of The Night
Honeycomb Glazed Pork Ribs

Honeycomb Glazed Pork Ribs: Chef Yogi's palate-melting creation to please all the senses and satisfy your cravings for delicious pork ribs.

Highlight of White Horse Tavern dishes; a Must-Try has got to be the their famous Honeycomb Glazed Pork Ribs prepared in perfect flavour of grilled pork ribs glazed with pure honeycomb all the way from Cameron. The honey combs are all organic and natural and procured from Cameron Highlands and go very well with the perfect grilled ribs.

Served with a jacket potato, corn on the cob and a sauce of your choice, the Honey Comb Glazed Pork Ribs is their house special, being the only restaurant in town serving such a unique dish. The ribs had crispy and savory skin, with a tender and juicy interior that was oozing with flavor.

Paring it with honey brings out the best in the ribs. It was suffice to say that both bones were licked clean that night.  Very well-executed and thumbs up for that!

Chef Yogi Signature Pork Burger

Dig into their porky menu featuring their juicy Signature Pork Burger. Chef Yogi's popular signature creation apart from the Honey Comb Glazed Pork Ribs, has got to be their delectable Pork Burger.

Generous serving of 180gm patty of perfectly grilled juicy patty is sure to fill up even the most hungry of diners. The gourmet burger has a house made patty coated with the Hellsfire XL sauce, layered with caramelised onions and lettuce between toasted buns with tasty crispy fries, coleslaw and salad on the sides.

A delicious and juicy pork burger on the menu, I truly enjoyed eating this porky goodness with a super chunky generously portioned thick burger patty that is wider than a human jaw. The Pork Burger is a meaty porcine delight that literally fires the taste buds because of Chef Yogi’s signature Hellsfire XL sauce. 

Chef Yogi has been experimenting with this sauce for a while now and has perfected the sauce. Though, he still insists that it is a work in progress. The sauce is spicy and has layers of heat that build up as you eat. Warning, you can’t stop eating it!

BBQ Chicken Wings

Next was BBQ Chicken Wings: Chicken wings grilled to perfection and tossed in Chef Yogi’s signature BBQ Sauce.

If it is not already crystal clear. Chef Yogi's affection for gastronomy is also evident in her BBQ Chicken Wings. Right down to the sauces for every dish he prepared, Chef Yogi believe in making everything from scratch.

The wings was a sizzling plate of meaty indulgence, richly seasoned with selected spices, grilled to  mouth watering perfection that was tantalising and filling yet not too overwhelming on the palate. 

Beef Pie

Pie lovers will enjoy the house made Beef Pie, another creation by Chef Yogi. The pie's minced beef secret filling served in a flaky crusty pie crust with creamy mashed potatoes, veggies and roast gravy sauce.

Chicken Pie

Yummy and wholesome fare of Chicken Pie to tempt your taste buds. Chef Yogi’s chicken pie secret recipe filling served in a flaky crusty pie crust with creamy mashed potatoes, veggies and roast gravy sauce.

For those lacking the appetite for beef or chicken, the Fish Gratin makes an excellent choice for those seeking a healthier option of white meat instead of red meat. You will love the simple but tasty treat of fin fish served in a cheesy white sauce with potatoes.

The Gratin and the meat pies were a perfect complement to all the pork based dishes and balanced the heat and flavour of the other dishes. Hearty and full of flavour, perfect as comfort food quality with the melt-in-the-mouth smooth and soft mash potatoes.

Dad’s Breakfast Pizza

Another crowd favourite here is the Dad’s Breakfast Pizza. At first glance, this dish looked simple and uncomplicated but its true test was in its taste. Truly a the perfect breakfast, the Dad's Breakfast Pizza features eggs, sausages, bacon, mushrooms and hash browns with cheddar cheese on a thin crust.

Light  and crunchy texture of the rustic dough as it perfectly complemented the savoury toppings that came with it. It has everything you need for a good breakfast on one sinfully cheesy thin crust pizza.
     
Deep Dish Alfredo Pizza

For those who crave for good old Gouda, Dutch cheese pizza, can opt for the Deep Dish Alfredo Pizza. A perfectly grilled fin fish, gouda cheese and cream served on a thin crust pizza, great eat. Loved the rich, unique flavour and smooth texture of the special Goudas, best paired with beer or wine.

Small eater looking for light bites while chilling with a beer or two, must try these melt-in-the-mouth, delightfully tasty Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms. Chef Yogi presented the rich and earthy flavoured portobello mushrooms stuffed with mozzarella cheese and grilled mushrooms; wrapped in bacon prior to be grilled to perfection.

Every bite brings out different taste and texture combining the meaty side of the mushroom, umami from the pork together some chewiness from the shimeji mushroom for the extra texture. Here again, the taste goes prefectly well with a bottle of good wine or ice-cold pints of you favourite beer. 

All in all, I had a great dining experience at White Horse Tavern savouring some of the best cooked meat I've ever tasted. Satisfy your cravings for delicious and good-old fashioned wholesome fare with their house made pizzas, pies, grilled meat among others, savours appetising creations by their creative Chef Yogi.

Come weekends, prepare to relish a mean Sunday Roast at the restaurant, where you can relax with your friends and family; enjoying an authentic British Sunday Roast over ice-cold pints or bottles of your favourite beer or drink of choice.

White Horse Tavern is the perfect place for those who enjoy good food and drinks by folks who enjoy great food and drinks. Their mantra is simple, good food brings great happiness and if Chef Yogi is not satisfied with what is made, it does not get served!

Arrangements can be made to host birthday parties, a celebration, a product launch or host an elegant dinner followed by a great after party at White Horse Tavern.

5.1 Cafe Gallery Sri Petaling Kuala Lumpur ~ Raving About Tortillas & Coffee

5.1 CAFE GALLERY 
Raving About Tortillas & Coffee
New cafes and restaurants are popping up like mushrooms in Sri Petaling, making the F & B scene in this area a hip and happening hub now for great food and drinks. One of the newbie is the 5.1 Cafe Gallery - a 7 months old cafe in Jalan Radin Bagus 5, located at the several new commercial blocks in Sri Petaling.

Warm & Charming Koh, owner of 5.1 Cafe Gallery 

The brain child behind 5.1 Cafe Gallery is a husband and wife team with Koh managing the cafe's beverages section while his wife planned out the menu. with great ideas and variety of offerings, from all-day menu of baked cheese rice, pizza, sandwiches, big breakfast to salad, light bites/snacks and heavenly desserts.   


You guys must be wondering I guess - just like me, why the cafe is called "5.1 Cafe Gallery". Do you know that coffee is slightly acidic with a pH value of 5 to 5.1? Well, this is how the founder came up with the unique and quirky name for his new cafe.  

 Comical & Cute Latte Art To Brightenen Up Your Day

Koh's great interest in coffee had lead him to offer a wide variety of latte with different flavours, including caramel, tiramisu, matcha, and hazelnut. Some of the coffees, such as matcha and mocha latte, are served with cute and beautiful coffee art. 

 Mocha
RM 10.90

Do request your favourite latte art from their crews and you will be amused with the delightful creative and appealing latte art in each cup of latte!

Macha Latte
RM 10.90

 Walls are adorned with nice shots of food pictures served here to entice your appetite!

 Retro Wall Hangings

5.1 Cafe Gallery is an art-fusion themed restaurant with vintage set up - very interesting and captivating. Interior is dominated by memorabilia of the past, filled with unique accessories eg. old camera and clock creating a different kind of ambience.

Pretty fascinating just to walk around and look at the cute ornaments that are now being used for decorative purposes. It may looks like a trendy coffee place from the outside but once you step in, you are greeted with warm smiles and a beautifully designed space where you can spend hours eating and chatting with your friends and family.

Relaxed Hangout Spot

Beautifully rustic furnished with wooden planks and furniture made from recycle wooden pallet, creating a casual and cosy dining ambience for its diners to chill and relax.

Currently, 5.1 Cafe Gallery serves great-tasting pizzas and desserts mainly made with crispy tortilla in both savoury and sweet flavours to pick from. 

I was delighted that their dishes here is great as proven from their tortilla-based pizza and mains of chicken chop which is everyone's favourite for that night.

Tortilla Chicken
RM 15.90

Their winning dish of Tortilla Chicken is highly recommended. Serving portion of a whole deboned chicken thigh, thick and chunky ~ well-marinated and lightly coated with flour before being deep fried to crispy perfection.

Apart from that, their house made black pepper sauce has a generous helping of black pepper makes the chicken even more tastier and spicy. This is served with salad in a tortilla wrap. Meat lovers like most of us will definitely go for this real value-for-money great-tasting dish any time of the day!

5.1 Tortilla Pizza
RM 12.90

Another hot seller of 5.1 Cafe Gallery is this simple but tasty 5.1 Tortilla Pizza. Do not under-estimate by the look of this unassuming bacon and mushroon pizza. It's combination of mushrooms, cheese, fresh tomato, cherry tomatoes, tomato sauce and savoury smokey bacon is a winning combination you ought to try out.

The pizzas come in one size as the signature tortilla (mostly used for their dishes) is used as the base for the pizza toppings. So if you have never enjoy the carbs and the usual thick dough like me, you will be delighted to try out this crisp, light and thin crust tortilla pizza, available only at this cafe!  

Hawaiian Tortilla Pizza 
RM 12.90

Following up, another pizza to check out if you are a fan of BBQ sauce. The Hawaiian Tortilla Pizza is slightly different from the previous one as it's topped chicken ham instead of bacon, with extras of BBQ & sesame sauce but similarly has button mushroom and lots of cheese to it. I'm not into BBQ sauce especially for pizza, so this version is just average for me. 

Sensational Bite
RM 12.90

Well, this is the owner's personal favourite breakfast or rather the 5.1 Cafe's Sensational Bite. A twist to the boring sandwiches, this one is practically added with everything you can think of such as chicken ham, cheese, crab roll, lettuce and topped with mouth-watering premium sausage; drizzled over with BBQ and tomato sauce to complete the act. Real comfort food quality, something different and out of the norm. Love it!

Crispy Crunch Banana 
RM 12.90

Next, checking out the range of tortilla based desserts, we come across this Crispy Crunch Banana. It's seriously for chocolate lovers so to say ~ With an overload of chocolate goodness; tortilla is covered with banana slice, almond and peanut, drizzled over with sweet chocolatey syrup and topped with vanilla ice cream, garnished with strawberry.  

Our Cereal 
RM 12.90

I have never try cornflakes pizza before, neither am I crazy about cornflakes per say but the Our Cereal pizza is different, providing lots of crunch in every bite. It's basically a tortilla based pizza topped with cornflakes, chocolate chips, raspberry jam, vanilla ice cream garnished with strawberry.

Can get kind of messy while trying to eat it with the cornflakes falling all over. I think it will be great if they improvise and use crushed cornflakes instead, so it'll be less messy and have some cream cheese spread with lots of fresh fruit like blueberries, raspberries, kiwi, strawberries etc to add colour while looking beautiful too.

Tweety Bird
RM 13.90

A picture-pretty dessert called Tweety Bird. Crepe-style dessert using tortilla to wrap cream, mango cubes, nutella spread and artistically drizzled with chocolate sauce for a pretty effect. Looks good with all the complimenting ingredients but failed in execution. 

Gets quite messy when we try to eat and cut it open, cream gets kind of mashed and squeezed.... haha, my poor pretty dessert, end up looking messy. I still prefer mine in crepes or waffle where it's easier to cut and eat!
*********
Anyway, all in all ~ 5.1 Cafe Gallery with some hits and misses is still a great place to check out if you are looking for ambiance and a private cafe to chill and hang out with you buddies. Remember to order your favourite cup of latte or macha, gets it pesonalised with a cute latte art design to bring a smile to soothe your tired soul and body.

If you looking to indulge in a sinful but pleasureable meal, just order their Tortilla Chicken and end your dining with sweet dessert of Crispy Crunch Banana. Perfect ending to a satisfying meal at 5.1 Cafe Gallery!
