BellyGood - Sunway Mentari, PJ

Alright, this is another delayed post which I was suppose to be written months ago. Simon Seow extend an invitation to participate in a food tasting session which is organised by Timothy Low. Check out their blog if you wanna know more about them This will be my first attempt to do a food review so please do bear with me ya, cause there will be lots of lousy photos(taken from bad angles) and camwhoring in the process.

Anyway here's how it goes, it was a Thursday and I was invited about 2 hours before the event. The Restaurant goes by the name BellyGood, which I think the owner intend to convey the message that the food is good for the belly(literally speaking), like the saying goes, the way to a men's heart is the stomach(stomach = belly lah). This place is strictly NON-HALAL because they serve pork(claimed to be their specialty).

This place was formally known at Wendy, but was paid to change their name's by Tan Sri Vincent Tan of Berjaya Group when they decide to open Wendy's Fast Food Chain

Timothy(the guy standing in blue shirt) given his welcome speech & an introduction to the restaurant.

There were about 15 to 20 lifestyle bloggers and food bloggers. One thing I like about this restaurant, is the open concept kitchen, which is clearly visible to its diners. This is a good thing because it allow hygiene conscious people like me see how the food is being prepared. This is in fact a growing trend among restaurant operators to have a open concept kitchen.

Sausage Platter

This dish consists of 4 types of sausages - pork chorizo, pork oriental, and spicy Hungarian served with fries and thai chilli sauce.

Tenderloin with Creamy Hot Sauce

According to the owner, this is one of the latest addition to their menu. they also have Pork Tenderloin with Creamy Mustard Sauce(for those who prefer non spicy food). Though some may say that its too spicy, but to me its good. Maybe because I love spicy stuff.

Mixed Platter (RM23.90)

This dish is a combination of grilled pork belly and grilled pork ribs served with mashed potato and coleslaw.

Chocolate Brownies with Vanilla IceCream.

And here's a little video which I recorded with my trusted Nokia E71. It basically introduces everyone that were there that night.

Personally out of 10, I would only rate this place at 6 because I'm not a big fan of pork, and there were too many variety of pork served. Besides that I think the 2 chef couldn't work well under pressure with more than 10 DSLR clicking away. I said that because I happen to meet a colleague of mine who was dining there at the same time and she told me that the food taste better 2 weeks ago.

If you really wanna give this place a try, my recommendation is go there on a weekday when there are lesser people, the chef will definitely be able to prepare tastier food with lesser pressure.
