Bricks & Barrels, Desa Sri Hartamas

The deal: Western lunch at Bricks & Barrels for 2 people at Bricks & Barrels

What we got:


Keeping it short and sweet this time: the deal was for 1 soup of the day, 1 choice of main course and 1 ice lemon tea for each person.

Mushroom soup

Soup of the day. Tastes like the store-bought variety.

Pan-roasted honey mustard pork chop with creamy mustard sauce

Generously sprinkled  with peppercorn, the honey mustard pork was sweetly savoury and well-flavoured, albeit the meat was a bit tougher than we would've liked. The accompanying sauce tasted like a mixture of cream and cheese (somewhat salty) with light hints of mustard. If you ask me, I thought the pork chop is best eaten sans the cream sauce, which rather drowns out the sweetness of the marinated meat.


Italian roast pork loin with wild white mushroom sauce

The Italian roast pork loin looked a lot more appetising in the picture on the deal page, so we were a little disappointed when the meat came looking rather white and dry. On its own, the pork was a little plain-tasting, although it had rather interesting, light hints of lemon. Again, not a fan of the sauce, although it was less cloying than the creamy mustard sauce.

As with the honey mustard pork chop, the Italian roast pork loin came with a strip of roasted pork skin that was too hard to enjoy.

Ice lemon tea


The food was not too shabby in general, although nothing particularly knocked our socks off.

Tax: None


How much we paid: RM29
