Mr. Yap, founder of Union Fashion Bar (UFB) invited us to check out his new restaurant in Taman Pelangi. I felt happy for him. Johorean bosses have made another step to introduce great food in Taman Pelangi area. Local or Singaporeans will recognise Taman Pelangi as wedding fashion street or cuisine street. Jalan Serampang is well known for its number of bridal shops. Jalan Perang is famous for its local Chinese stir fried food and hawker centre While, Mr. Yap decided to choose his new cafe to operate in Jalan Kuning. Why?
I like the secluded and serenity of this location. ~Mr. Yap
New York Garden concept was applied in the new Union Fashion Bar, Taman Pelangi
Jalan Kuning is a small street turn in from Plaza Pelangi. Behind of police station head quarter, you can see the sun city. An old JBrian like me have known that Sun City is an abandoned project in late 1999. Bagus Travel Group has bought it over recently and remodel it into another foodie area. Thus, Union Fashion Bar with New York Garden style is set up here.
Pork Chop RM33.90. I have never tasted a pork chop as tender as chicken meat. The chef used special technique to retain the meat flavour and tenderness.
Don’t be deceive by its look. At first, i though it is just a normal thick pork chop. After a first bite with Caribbean salsa sauce it total took me off guard. The amount of meat juice just flow into my mouth. The meat texture is like meat floss soft and tender.
Grilled Lamp Chop RM36.90
White Pepper Pork Rib RM36.90. The chef is playing black and white game with the pork rib. The chef didn’t marinate the pork rib before grilled it. He used the most traditional method to grilled it. The white pepper gravy and basil pesto sauce are generously spread on the pork rib. The best way to eat this dish is using hands. The server will bring up hand gloves for us to eat. I prefer this white pepper pork rib as the basil and pesto sauce increase the fragrance of the meat. White pepper is spicy enough to tickle my taste bud.
Oriental Black Pepper Pork Rib RM36.90. This is the black version of pork rib. As the sauce is as dark as night sky, I have imagine it to be more spicy. WRONG again. The spiciness of black pepper sauce is neutralised by sweet mayonnaise. This dish is more sticky and sweeter compared to the white pepper pork rib.Beaty/Classic Waffle with Mixed Fruit and Pana cotta RM21.90 The most suitable dessert to end our lunch. Crispy double processed waffles is different from the waffle I tasted before. The crispy texture yet sometime soft thick layer of waffle complimented by vanilla ice cream and strawberry syrup. UFB is famous for its Panna Cotta. Sweet and milky panna cotta and a spoonful of fresh fruit refresh my tongue. This dessert truly live up to its’ beauty name.
