Voir Dire at Kota Damansara: Restaurant Review

A bit of bistro-hopping at Kota Damansara, a neighborhood of gastronomic hits and misses. First up, Voir Dire. The place is small and the menu is compact, but bigger isn’t necessarily better.

Pork Platter

Voir Dire’s pork platter is a simple Chinese-inspired selection of sausages, balls, luncheon meat and ‘sui kow’ dumplings, all well-done and wonderful for snack-lovers to share.

Carbonara

Slurp-worthy spaghetti carbonara, bolstered by bacon and enriched with a raw egg.

Burger

Pork burger, also a pleasure. Voir Dire’s probably worth recommending; no frills, but a fun nook.

Mixology

If Voir Dire’s co-owner and resident mixologist James is around, ask him for some of his specialty cocktails. This one was created to help a heartbroken customer forget her lost love. Potently constructed with cointreau, blue curacao, triple sec, rum and lime juice.

Not our grandmother’s tea: Gin, ginger ale and cranberry juice.

Not our grandfather’s coffee: Kahlua, Bailey’s and milk.

Beer, Wine and Hard Liquor

Beer and hard liquor are the focus at this pool table-equipped hangout, but there’s still carefully chosen wine by the glass and bottle.
