The Full Works @ Jarrod & Rawlins - KK Times Square

At certain times only an English breakfast will do, and today was definitely one of those days! In KK there only seems to be one place to head to for an authentic fry up and that's Jarrod & Rawlins, an English style pub with an attached deli. With 2 fry ups to choose from I ordered The Full Works, this breakfast certainly lives up to its name! Don't expect a plate as this thing comes in, well, a trough! Let me list the contents, a pile of bacon, 2 pork sausages, fried mushrooms, grilled tomato, hot baked beans, hash brown and 2 sunny side ups! This one is for the hungry, it also comes with 2 thick slices of toast and drinks. Today it most certainly hit the spot!

Toast and drinks selection, tea and orange juice.

Jarrod & Rawlins is in the centre of KK Times Square.

The Bill : 1x The Full Works = 41.76 MYR

Jarrod & Rawlins has booze, fry ups and a deli, brilliant!

Pork Feast @ Mr Ho's Fine Foods - KK Times Square

If you're a pork lover then Mr Ho's Fine Foods should be on your eating itinerary! A fairly new restaurant in KK Times Square, we remembered seeing the signs up before it opened and decided to pop by tonight. There are other items on the menu but pork is their specialty, just take a look inside the glass cabinet as you enter the restaurant! Now I'm not quite as potty about pork as some people I know, I have to admit that I don't really like crackling ( in England this is what we call the crispy pork skin, which is created by cutting the skin and rubbing lots of salt into it). So I opted for the Pork Burger, a delicious juicy patty of minced, seasoned, pork meat with onion, tomato, lettuce and cucumber topped with cheese and a thick slice of bacon, all between a bread bun. It was quite a feat to bite into it as it was that large! Not only that but sides of fries and coleslaw came with this yummy, filling burger, I'll definitely be back for this one!

The Little Nibbler loves crackling so there was no other option but to go for the Crispy Roast Pork with Apple Sauce! This is one of Mr Ho's signature dishes and comes with roughly mashed potatoes and a selection of vegetables in garlic butter. We were two very happy diners indeed!

All washed down with a jug of Happy Hour Tiger.

Mr Ho's occupies a corner lot, there's also a dining area upstairs.

The Bill : 1x Pork Burger, 1x Crispy Roast Pork, 1x Happy Hour Tiger Jug = 101 MYR

Hog Heaven @ Mr Ho's!

Wantan Ho @ Manja Cafe - KK Times Square

Wantan Ho is another favourite of mine! When it's cooked well it's simply delicious. Unfortunately though at Manja Cafe it's a little lacking. Ingredients wise it's generous with lots of fresh vegetables including carrot, onion, broccoli, choy sum and chilli. I ordered ayam and there was plenty of chicken too, the problem lies in the taste it's just not got that savoury smoky flavour that you get from a searing hot wok. Don't get me wrong it tasted ok but with such great ingredients it could have tasted better!

The Little Nibbler opted for a new dish that neither of us had tried before, Mee Bandung. Again ingredients were fresh and plentiful, very fresh in one case as a raw egg was added on top. Noodles come in a rich spicy tomato sauce along with veggies, chilli slices and chicken. You can taste the egg come through in the sauce which is a great touch, very tasty indeed.

Manja Cafe is located next door to Manja Hotel in KK Times Square. Free Wi-Fi is available.

The Bill : 1x Wantan Ho, 1x Mee Bandung, 2x Teh Tarik Ping = 21 MYR


KK Times Square is filling up at last, with quite a few eating and drinking establishments to choose from. Manja Cafe is bright, clean and uses fresh ingredients. With a large menu there's plenty of choice as well as a nasi campur counter.
