Tonight I had the chance to dine and drink some really good beers in OverTime Pavilion courtesy of Sirens Media and Taufulou, for their soft launch. Tonight, we were even graced with the presence of Master Brewer of Starker, Timothy O'Rourke who brewed up Starker beers, fresh beers tapped straight from the barrel.

So there I was, reaching just in time to catch some really good food being dished out. The whole place was buzzing with bloggers as well, as the night was supposed to be a "bloggers night out" as well. The guest highlight for the night would definately be Timothy O'Rourke, master brewer for Starker beers, a really famous icon where beers were concerned.

"Derived from a German word that means ‘stronger’, Stärker literally revives an old world style of beer drinking, offering you a strong, unrivalled taste of truly fresh beer that many beer lovers have missed for generations."
|
#1 Starker Beer |
"The German-style beer is traditionally brewed from malted barley and wheat with an aromatic touch of rich Citrus (orange peels and corianders) and mixed with a hint of delicate spiciness of German hops to balance the sweetness. Such unique formula, without the need for filtration and pasteurisation and chemistry of aging simply gives way to a strong yet clean, crisp and natural body that is easy to down on its own."
|
#2 Starker Beer, I really loved the smoothness of the beer |
"Brewed for a shelf-life of only 7 days and served straight from the keg, Stärker is best consumed at 4° to 6° Celsius for your maximum pleasure. Beer so cool and taste so revitalising, let the ‘fresh’ experience begin."
That was a short introduction to the wonderful Starker bee, but the night wasn't just about the beer, it was also about the food that OverTime Pavilion had to offer. The food were really good I tell you, even though some of the portions were a tad too small for big eaters like myself and some of the bloggers present. Check out some of the dishes we ordered off the ala carte menu.

#1 Beancurd Pork |
|
#2 More pork dishes |
|
#3 Grilled Chicken Chop |
|
#4 Crunchy Pork |
|
#5 Sang Har Yi Mien |
|
#6 Pork Chop Set |
|
#7 Grilled Lamb Shoulder |
Of all the dishes I had the chance to sample, I would have to say I love them all, especially the lamb and the crunchy pork. Delicious, yet sinfully fattening. I'll definately need to clock in a whole lot of exercise hours to get rid of all these sinful calories The night continued on with food, free flow of beer, and bloggers with all types of cameras happily snapping away at everyone and everything in sight. I joined in the festivities, so do check out some of the photos I managed to capture below.

Overall, it was a good event, one which gave all of us a chance to sample what OverTime Pavilion had to offer. OverTime Pavilion really is a cool place to just hang out after work with friends while having good food and listening to some good music. Check out this place should you happen to find yourself shopping in Pavilion KL.
