[CLOSED] Mr. Tush

Barely a month old and before a full menu launch, Mr. Tush already has in its repertoire an array of soulful bar grub and yummy cocktails. Catch up with a close friend at this quiet spot in Plaza Damansara over their Chili-Spiced Chickpeas (RM12). The tender chickpeas have a simple, comforting appeal that prepares your palate for the contrasts of a rich Butter Bun Stuffed With Chili Con Carne (RM18). This off-the-menu dish topped with jalapenos galore may be daunting, but also incredibly tasty! On cocktails, attempt the Espresso Yo-self (RM25) that presents strong notes of Cottle Coffee's espresso, a cinnamon stick, turbinado syrup and dark rum.

Tucked down Bukit Damansara is this dapper new space that ticks many of my relaxed dining boxes. A little fun fact, I was told that the logo was designed (by Inti students) as a nod to Wes Anderson’s Grand Budapest Hotel. Suffice to say, this place has good taste.

On my visit, I was lucky to be one of their first customers to try their off-the-menu butter bun stuffed with a ridiculously large portion of smokey, jalapeno-laden Chilli con Carne topped with the kitchen’s in-house preserved pickles (RM18). And it was T-A-S-T-Y. Taking bar grub to the next level, imagine what they’d come up with once the kitchen is ready to serve their full menu!

The cocktails, although limited, are thoughtful and innovative takes on crowd favourites such as the spiky Chai Whiskey Sour (RM32); an infusion of the Maker’s Mark Whisky, chai syrup, lemon, egg white; and my favourite of the night, Espresso Yo-self (RM25); a spirituous rendition of an Americano with dark rum, cinnamon stick, turbinado syrup and espresso from Cottle Coffee.

If you’re looking for good soul food and remarkable cocktails, Mr Tush is definitely one to keep on the visiting loop.
