2. Ceggo Boardroom

1-ceggo-boardroom

From the outside, Ceggo Boardroom might look purely like a wine shop, but on many evenings, the interior crackles with the sight, sound and smell of cooking, as the proprietors unleash a fair bit of good grub – the choices will change based on market availability, with possibilities like roasted bone marrow or fried vermicelli with pork belly – to pair with their wide range of wines.

Checking out a venue that might work well enough for kicking back after work: Bosko in Bandar Utama’s Centrepoint complex, where shelves of Sauvignon Blanc and walls filled with wine pairing tips assure us we’re in the right place seminararbeit schreiben lassen.

11. 33 Blue Room

9. 33 Blue Room

This jazz and wine bar promises a touch of elegance that’s thoroughly unexpected in a PJ industrial enclave.  Its menu puts pork on a pedestal – wine-glazed sticky belly with saffron potato mash, scallions and parmesan pepper migas takes a place of pride during dinnertime ghostwriter referat, while the baby back ribs spaghetti is a day-and-night temptation, featuring home-cooked umami flavours that’ll prove familiar for Asian/Chinese palates
