Porcélene at Empire, Damansara Perdana: Restaurant Review

Returning to Porcelene  for Round Two. (Earlier visit on Oct 11 2013.)

Update: Porcelene is now known as Novi Jazz

Soup

Beefing up this entry with Porcelene’s interpretation of ‘sup gearbox’ (RM19++), bristling with all manner of bovine cuts and components.

Terrified of tripe? Skip this then. Still, for some of us, this ‘soup for the soul,’ as the menu calls it, might be the best thing for a rainy night.

Burgers

Porcelene’s ‘Black on Black’ burger (RM32++) is a big one, boasting a Black Angus beef patty in a toasted charcoal bun with onion rings and cross trax fries.

Not bad; maybe we won’t recall what it tastes like in ten months, but we enjoyed it well enough.

Paella

More memorable: Porcelene’s paella, prettily presented. RM58++, sufficient for two or three.

The platter smells seductively of saffron, with Spanish rice simmered in beef broth & adorned with spicy beef brisket and chicken sausages.

The grains might be mushier than we’d prefer, but did we still finish every bite? Definitely.

Coffee

Wrap up with coffee cocktails that include the likes of Illy coffee with frangelico, chocolate and whipped cream or with Bailey’s and milk.

Coffee, Sailor Jerry rum, kahlua and whipped cream.
