Healy Mac's Changkat Bukit Bintang, KL

There is something about Healy Mac's Irish Bar and Restaurant that makes me want to return for more. Whether it is the place, the ambiance, the food or the drink, I cannot really pinpoint as they score equally the same.

I went to the branch in Greentown, Ipoh and was impressed with my little time spent on its food. I grew aware of its existence in KL, particularly in Changkat Bukit Bintang, and recommended the venue for a special occasion.

My family and i visited Healy Mac's on a Friday night. We arrived nearly half past eight. The entrance was crowded- other customers were looking at us as we made our way to the balcony upstairs. We sat on a barrel-cum table and were entertained by a friendly waiter. After placing our orders, our waiting period was filled with great music.

Chicken Parmigiano, one of my favourites and is highly recommended for chicken lovers! The crust of the meat is crunchy and crispy; fragrant and flavourful with its sauce. The meat is cooked to perfection.

Aglio Olio Spaghetti. This dish jumbles all things together- a taste of bacon and salmon; corn, broccoli and asparagus. My expectation for this dish was higher. It was just okay- in comparison to my other pasta dish ordered.

This is a winner- the 'other pasta dish' i mentioned above. This Penne Seafood Carbonara comes in a white wine cream sauce with prawns and mushroom. It is creamy, packs a punch and delicious. Recommended.

Now for the drink, a pint of Kilkenny.

This awesome Organic Pork Knuckle (1.3kg) dish stole the night, leaving us with full-bellies. It was roasted crispy, served with potatoes and sauerkraunt. It took us some time to finish the entire plate but surely, it was tasty. For extra flavour, you can dip in sauce.

The portion of the food is large, so for small eaters, you can opt to share. A little pricier for normal dinner but sometimes we need to know how to save and spend. Definitely will be back for more, and more, that is, to explore the other dishes on the menu. A splendid place to hang out.

If only the branch at Changkat, KL serves pizza like the one in Greentown, Ipoh, i can only imagine how my stomach will be on that fateful night. The pizzas that are freshly made are surely one to indulge in.
