New Home For Pork Lovers

It’s official. Changkat Bukit Bintang is the place to go for any self respecting swine lover. The number of non-halal and pork-friendly restaurants in the area is bordering on saturation. The people behind Flams have just opened Bermuda And Onion, situated slap bang in the middle of the strip, a fine dining establishment with pork on its eclectic Italian cuisine menu.

Among the delicacies you can find here include varieties of panini (RM18-23), pasta (RM20-28), stuzzichini (Italian ‘tapas’), all designed with and using copious amounts of pork. Also on offer are classic and fusion Italian meat dishes, from the humble grilled pork chop to Sino-Italian braised pig trotters. They also have a wide range of homemade quiches, cakes, gelati, soups and salads, all for under RM20.

To complement the richness of the menu, the restaurant boasts a long list of refreshing vegetable and fruit blended drinks. There’s also an almost all-day breakfast menu (12pm to 6pm on weekdays, 10am-6.30pm weekends) featuring six different breakfast sets based on differing breakfast choices of European countries (RM19-26). There’s a full bar menu, a good wine list and classic Italian aperitifs on offer as well, which would serve as perfect accompaniments to their interesting food. With a solid, airy and vaguely tropical décor and great music choice – this new bistrocafe is a place where the pigs certainly do not fly!
