Morganfield's @ Pavilion KL, Malaysia

Morganfield’s is an American casual dining restaurant. It’s not an American franchise but it has replicated the American dining experience in terms of atmosphere, the classic American dishes and the interior design. So well that you might just think you have been teleported to America for dinner.

It is retro and it caters to everyone from the family-friendly cozy seats,

to the elegant bar for those that love a bit of booze.

The menu is an eye candy with the food that came to our table looking more or less as illustrated on the menu.

Our blended coolers are refreshing concoctions. The Begonia (RM 12.90) has a pleasant sour note, infused with flavors of kiwi, strawberries , apples and lime. The Virgin Apple Mojito (RM 14.90) is a little less exciting as it is the drink I order when I don’t know what to drink but it’s still a good old favorite.

The Onion Blossom (RM 14.90) is a work of art – coated with a crunchy batter, the thinly sliced onion that remain adjoined with neighboring pieces is best eaten with the smoky BBQ sauce. The crispiness is almost that of potato chips. The only thing is, it’s a bit oily.

It’s all about the ribs at Morganfield’s. We had two classic rib dishes – Full Slab Sticky Bones (RM 69.90) smothered with sticky, smoky and distinctive hickory BBQ sauce. It’s all glossy and enticing – best eaten with hands, pulling the soft ribs apart easily, generating sheer satisfaction and you get to lick your fingers afterwards. The French fries here are worth a mention too – fried till crisp with a fluffy inside.

The baby back ribs (RM 49.90) are of imported meat from Iberico pigs from Spain, glazed in a sweet sauce consisting of Jack Daniels. The baby back ribs are even softer than the sticky bones that they easily melt in your mouth. It’s too soft even; I still favor the sticky bones that’s just a tad tougher with more texture.

We ended our meal with two glasses of Cabernet Sauvignon and volcanic chocolate lava cake topped with vanilla ice cream and drizzled with caramel (RM 15.90). Warm chocolate sauce oozed out from the moist cake, and nothing can go wrong with the chocolate and vanilla combo. It’s very very sweet – but that’s pretty much the kind of sweetness you would get in America.
