Before heading to Malones for a food review session, I had somehow cooked dinner for 5 days in a row, which must be a record. The review session came as a nice break from doing the dishes, so it was all good. 😀
This review is in conjunction to Malones’ St. Patrick dishes, which suddenly reminds me that we are already in March, 2011! I was still trying to write 2010 on my notepad…
Malones at Sooka Sentral, just across from KL Sentral
Since Sooka Sentral is just right across the street from KL Sentral Suanie and I took the train there, it was RM 2.00 well spent, no getting stuck in traffic jam, best.
Malones is its own building, surrounded by high rise office towers with the LRT line zipping right next to it, giving the place a very metro feel while devoid of cars, I like. We were greeted by the friendly Hui Peng of G2, and May of Malones (who also invited me to EEST while at her previous job.)
Guinness infused beef stew
First dish to come was the Guinness infused Beef Stew (RM 29.90), and yes, it was my favorite dish of the night. The beef was very tender and with a strong hint of Guinness flavor in the savory sauce. The vegetable in the stew was done just right too, it didn’t take the slightest of pressure to bite the carrot and celery that are both well flavored.
Guinness infused sausages and burger
Then we had Irish Sausage on Colcannon and Guinnness Onion Gravy (RM 30.90), they are made of chicken, lamb, and beef. Calcannon is basically mash potato with cabbage, a traditional Irish dish. I like the chicken & beef sausages more than the lamb, and they do go better with a tad of mustard. It was also the first time I had calcannon, and I like it!
Guinness Beef Burger (RM24.90) came with a super thick beef patty that’s marinated with Guinness, then cooked to perfection with melted cheese on top. Sumptuous, almost too rich, but  absolutely satisfying.
Guinness infused beef ribs, sooo good!
Last dish for the night was Malones Beef Ribs with Guinness Sauce (RM 29.90). I am usually not a very big beef rib fan (preferring pork, of course, but Malones is pork free, in fact, the only pork free Irish pubs in town), but the XL size beef rib (yah, singular) was actually very impressive.
It was so tender and easily cut even just with spoons, absolutely delicious!
Suanie, KY, May, Hui Peng, Jason, Tock
Jason and Tock were the other two bloggers, and we had a good time catching up. Tock and I play futsal occasionally (he’s supposed to be a regular but the fella always ffk), and Jason just moved to KL from Malacca not long ago.
The menu is available now, and on St. Patrick’s day, Malones have a special deal whereby for RM 99, you get on the St Patrick’s Bus Tour that takes you to four different locations, with food & drinks at and on the way, pretty sweet deal I think! Do check it out ya!

Irish pub which doesn’t serve pork,that’s a new one! 😯
Prakash: to cater for slightly wider range of customers 😀
Hhhhmmm,i know what you are saying,but the so called ‘wider’ range of customers shouldn’t be going to a place serving alcohol anyway? 😕
Prakash: to be honest, if that’s the case then none of this category can eat at most hotels too.
True true 🙄 but no Irish place is complete without any porky goodness yummy yummy 😀 Irish bacon is the best in the world!
Prakash: well thank goodness there’s still Irish beer! 😀
Irish people always tell me,Guinness never taste the same outside Ireland,which is true also. 😉
Prakash: most likely. 😀
The Guinness infused beef ribs are awesome! 🙂
I wonder what the Guinness beef burger tastes like, gotta check it out next time I’m there.
Huai Bin: yeah, do check it out! 😀

hello..nice blog..
saya cuma mahu menegur admin blog ..
bagi umat islam, kedai makanan yang halal adalah yang tidak menghidangkan makanan dan minuman haram.
maaf menegur kerana terlihat ada alkohol dihidangkan di kedai ini.harap admin akan lebih sensitif dengan isu ini 🙂
apa apa pun, nice info, saya berjaya mendapat info mengenai tempat makan yangbaru 🙂
thanks..
akram: my apology, I should have labeled it as pork free instead.
