Food Hunt: Bar BQ Plaza, Jusco Metro Prima, Kepong

Welcome back to yet another edition of Food Hunt and today ME & Kimmy had decided to try out Bar BQ Plaza located at Jusco Metro Prima in Kepong. We reach the restaurant at about 7.00pm and we have start to queue up to look for a place to sit. As usual, this restaurant is at a brisk business especially during the weekends. We had a great time waiting and we both are anticipating the dinner and we just can't wait for it. We are lucky enough today as we do not wait very long and after 10 minutes wait, we finally got our seat.

Since the restaurant is full, we have waited for like 10 minutes for the food to be served and then during the queue, we have ordered and decided what to order as we take a quick look at the menu and we made a fast decision on what to order. We have ordered the Deluxe Supreme Set (RM38.90) which contains lots of ingredients including beef, Udon Mee, Mini Prawns, Mushrooms, Chicken, Vegetables, Fish Balls and many more. It comes with a 2 white rice set and you have an option to upgrade to Garlic Rice for an additional RM1.50 per bowl. Please see pictures. For drinks I've ordered the Ice Green Tea (RM2.50) while Kimmy ordered the Chrysanthemum Tea (RM2.50).

Actually there are some steps to follow at Bar B.Q. Plaza to ensure your meal is as good as it could be. I am not going to elaborate since they have a leaflet with the detailed instructions. But the first step is always to oil the hot plate with cubes of lard. Yes, LARD! Then, clear chicken broth is poured at the side of the pan, which is for boiling the cabbage and other vegetables. So when the frying is in process, the flavors from the meats will not go to waste because all of them would end up in the simmering broth. Some condiments provided for the barbecue are garlic, lime, cili padi and a bowl of their home-made vegetarian sauce, made mainly of peanut butter. I was skeptical again when I saw this. What? No chili sauce for dipping? Peanut butter? You must be kidding me, how can!? And again I was wrong.. the vegetarian sauce, prepared and shipped all the way from Thailand was the perfect condiment to complement the barbecued meat. Simply tasty and appetizing. The meats are fresh and from what I heard, the pork is sourced from Euro Deli so the quality is very much assured.

Now we come to the taste of it. Overall, the taste was acceptable and the most important thing is the sauce. I love the sauce where it was sweet and nice and it suits my taste mainly because I mixed the garlic and cili padi together with their home-made vegetarian sauce. Another reason I love their sauce is because it's made of peanut butter as well. Something really special that I never try before and it's my first time. The garlic rice that we've ordered is very tasty and the fragrance of the rice is simply fantastic. For Kimmy, the sauce does not suits her and she say it's not nice. I guess the sauce here is kinda subjective. Overall, Kimmy said that the meal does not suits her as the only thing she loves is the freshness of the meat else all looks normal and the sauce does not suit here as well. She said she won't be coming back to Bar BQ Plaza to eat again. But for me, I love the sauce and the food there as well. For the chrysanthemum tea that Kimmy ordered, it was nice to drink as it was refreshing and the Ice Green Tea I've ordered is nice and refreshing as well. The Ice Green Tea is refillable.

The price meanwhile is not too expensive as it seems as for the set of RM38.90, you can get to eat beef and chicken at a very big portion as well. Also it comes with a rice. I can see this restaurant had become a top choice not only for youngsters but also for families as well. The food served here is fresh and the portion is big as well. I would recommend you to come over to any of the Bar BQ Plaza branch in the Klang Valley and not just only Jusco Metro Prima only to try out their BBQ Steamboat and I bet you will love it. Enjoy!
