Food Hunt - Lunch @ Jarrod & Rawlins

What is Jarrod & Rawlins all about? Restaurant? Pub? Delicatessen? or Café?

Well it is actually a little of all four but whether it is a restaurant or pub, surely it is one of my favorite place to feast.

I have chosen J&R for my farewell lunch with my colleagues twice in a roll, reason being, I miss their dynamite sausages.  



Ambiance is casual and not too serious like those fine dining places which you could not enjoy a loud laughter. There are separated areas like dining, sport bar, open air which you can choose to enjoy your food or a couple of drinks fresh from the tap with your buddies or watch your favorite sports.





A deli counter displaying a variety of meat, sausages and cheese for take away or cook and serve right away.




Select your Wine from wine shelf and cellar to go with your food. J&R store some great wines. 

Well ladies, need not me to say much.

The menu is filled with simple but great selection of English gourmet 


Chicken Breast Gratin with cheese & mushroom cream sauce. RM 28

Classic Sausage Beans and Chips RM 24

Salad Nicoise with seared tuna sashimi RM 23

My favorite Dynamite sausages, charge by weight

Fish Fillet with parsley sauce serve with potatoes and zucchini RM 26.50

Spicy Seafood Marinara of prawns, mussel & calamari  RM 29

Not sure if we were very hungry but the food speak for itself ;)


Well now you know where to head to for some great pork sausages next time

I am officially independent aka jobless

Bidding farewell was never a hard thing but working with a company for more than 6 years, it does change the situation a little. (Fortunately no sobbing or hugging)

For that many years being involved in architecting and building IT infrastructure for offshore, local, regional and global, it came to an end yesterday with a great farewell from my boss and the team and today… I am officially jobless independent.

Many have asked me the same question, where you are going or which company are you going to join?  From these questions I believe when one leaves a company, they are expected to have had secure another job to ensure the income is not interrupted but unfortunately this time around I shocked everyone with my answer.

Yup! I have no employment on hand and have no intention to find one, and that sent everyone to a great shock of their life and it seems that it is something completely out of norm, well it just sound like me, completely abnormal LoL.

To satisfy everyone, I seriously have no plan ahead and will take a long break from being employed but hopefully during this period of time, I will be able to find a gold mine but it will be a journey of a thousand miles so I will just start with catching up with my books together with my cigars and a hot glass of “Teh Tarik”
